Back ce soir.
Have lovely Saturdays everyone.

Bank Holiday and I am having a real bad beard day.
Radio Mud Rat on about Kingston. Other Radio St Johns on about Scampton Wallahs. It was Music Night in the Golf Hotel, and it was miles away in Horncastle. Bolshevik Broadcasting Commissariat! And now someone has decided it is some B feature movie day. It was carp in 1977. Still Is. Alien any day!!!

Gosh, wrong side of bed.

OK, here is some pleasures

Sketch from 1972 as to why England are carp at football

Evening all.

Firslty I would like to take back one of yesterday's pleasures, if I may: a bone from my smoked mackerel lunch scratched the back of my throat and it's been decidedly uncomfortable since then!

1) NSD and NPD.

2) Very long lie-in this morning; I've been feeling really dozy for the past couple of days and obviously needed the extra sleep.

3) Finally got round to setting up a new ISA, which has been due since this time last year.

4) It's been gloomy and windy all day but has now brightened up, although it's still quite breezy.

5) Making a quiche for dinner. :drool:

Have a nice evening, all, and have nice holidays DD and PK.

Where to begin?
Master Frith The Younger[but probably as tall as moi already]: Mission Accomplished. Cars heading your way Monday. Maman concealing until suitable moment? Thanks again to sparrer, who knew where it was to be found and@half-price. Frith, would you kindly pm your addy again?
1. Notice in Mr T Fulbourn, pk, 'Ferret Found. Polecat ferret, in our carpark, found wandering. Ask a member of staff'. I know no more.
2. Great 'Fête de Muguet' Wednesday in France, around Bray-Dunes, then Arneke, ending lovely,lovely day at Guines. Brought back 2 pots of muguet, giving one hier to friend who proxy voted for me. Long good catch-up chat. Parallel odd circles of coincidence have occurred to us both this last fortnight.
3.One extraordinary buy at Bray Dunes*. [Just hold on please while I bung in little pork loin roast - [STRIKE]£6.24p[/STRIKE] 89p this afternoon. Must have been a mistake: lots of bread was reduced to 89p. Back in a mo. Right, done - or will be in 90-ish mins.] *Imagine teen in jeans, lace up shoes. Remove the teen, resin what remains. Pour plaster in up to knees - weighted, upright, stable. Now silver spray all over. There you have it. Well, I do now - 2€. Should fly@Spits, or so I thought, as did everyone who saw it. I gather it stood in foyer@Calais when 2nd Harry Potter was screened there. I know it will go - and well. Very quirky, very Spits - eventually.
4. re:which, odd Thursday. 'Too sunny, too nice' was the cry. 'Punters don't want to be inside on a nice day' Not bad, nonetheless and a little bit of banking done, y compris a £45 stock/silver oddities spend yesterday.
5. As sun set over Calais, found my close of day way to mucky old part of harbour, watched little boats, bigger ones, general marine movement and busy-ness which suits me very well. Even better were The One still with me, but that is not so now. However, am these days able to feel all of this enjoyment, know what chat we would be having without too much angst, which is not the same as being unaware of sudden unpredictable longing. I am not alone in this, I know, so let us revisit deep feeling of contentment with binocs, Thermos, simple French munch - baguette/jambon/beurre, book, listening to France bleu, reflecting on lovely day, scrummy Italian icecream at Guines, scent of muguet travelling back with me, then a tootle round to same ferry entrance whose comings and goings have part of the vernacular canvas. It's all been splendid.
6. I've had to google robins/fledging today. I suspect they're on their way. It's been such a privilege to have them.
7. Have not long left a metre-tall standard fuchsia with dear neighbour. For some reason, 5 were reduced from £15@Mr T, but only 2 looked lively. @£1.29 we can both try.
8. Wore a summer dress yesterday,:j but today that wind is vicious again and rain/thunder downpours rampaged out of clear skies, on and off all day. One self-set task at Grafton centre was enough, Frith. Didn't even venture across Parker's Piece into town proper. Just sipped Waitrose freebie as I waited for rtn P&R bus. Felt so pleased to have found manchester in question.:D
9. Ready for bed. Energy top-ups not up to speed yet, but this seems par for course among those who've been similarly felled this winter.
Might be 10. I really am considering a mad flit, 18 mai, to Aviva Stadium, Dublin for the Final. What say bop? Did you have a chance to look at the Sir Wilkinson doc.? 2 French teams contesting mean I can be happy/spoilt for choice:D, although I clearly have MY team. Will I? I've started looking at ticket sales...

Wishing everyone extended warmth, much yellow, definitive leaps over the season finishing line into both the 'S' ones, please.
########
Just see you preceded me, bop. Happy Scrabbling with Lady B, to whom I wish wordy success.

Frith

Thank you very much, Ampersand and a pm has been sent. And thanks to Sparrer for remembering the shop!

Here are my pleasures for today:

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Went to local motor racing with my brother. Bright sunshine and we took some packed lunch.

3) Tidied up the house.

4) Did some paperwork for my sister.

5) My schoolfriend phoned and will be coming round tomorrow.

6) Enjoying watching The Voice and waiting for Casualty! Might get a hot water bottle or 2 before it starts.

7) And good news from Ampersand.

Bit of a strange day in places. Ex MrFrith being very silly this morning. Turned up on his bike (!) and told sons they had to cycle with him first to a car boot sale then 7 miles to his house. Cue tears from smaller son. More tears from bigger son after the ex tried to use bigger son to persaude smaller son. Eventually, ex MrFrith had to phone for a taxi.... :mad:

Also MrN's 50th birthday today. Doesn't seem long since we were discussing his plans for today and that, in 2 and a bit years, it will be my 40th! Well, obviously now I have no idea how MrN has spent his day.

One presumes Cake Unbakethed, Frith?

Evening

Pleasures for today,
1. Bit of a lie in this morning, woke at 6 when OH got up to go to golf and I went back to sleep untill 8:)
2. Trip into London with DD to go to Grand Designs show at Excel. Rather than take the tube and DLR we decided to do things a bit differently and took the river bus and the new cable car. Much more civilised way to travel around London, it did cost a little bit more but was a really nice journey.
3. Lots of freebies at the show, they were giving out free goodie bags and kept giving us one each whenever we walked past so now have 8 boxes of 10 Yorkshire teabags, some pesto sauce, coffee sachet samples, breakfast biscuits, little packets of pistachios and some cough sweets :money:
4. Bought DD a new rug and lampshade for her room both are a bit different and very stylish
5. Home to a Chilli and Rice for dinner

Hugs to all who need them

Kittikins

Happy Holidays DD and PK, wish you had room for a few stowaways, lol.

1. NSD

2. A friend has done amazing floor plans of the house ready for the estate agent

3. In return, I looked after his children for a bit

4. Saw a chum at DD's dance rehearsal this morning for a good natter

5. The house is super-tidy (well, with the exception of the kitchen ) and it didn't take long!

6. Lots and lots of cuddles with DD
