Frith

LFS - our Sainsburys stock them and I have one if they're YS.


Pleasures for today:


1) A lie in!


2) New Primark trousers for sons. Smaller son (10) is now in age 13. Bigger son (13) is now a 26 waist, 30 leg small man.


3) Had eyebrows threaded in honour of the wedding. You get every 9th session free so no charge for me today.


4) Got sister's wedding card from Paperchase (becoming one of my favourite shops) and also was pleased to find a Naming Day card for my friend's son's celebration next month.


5) Picked up the Flying Scotsman tender from the model shop. It needed new traction wheels and apparently some of the workings were "full of fluff" according to the report. :-/


6) Sons had haircuts with NO FUSS!!!!!


7) Went swimming with sons and my brother.


8) Checked the slow worm traps (pieces of corrugated sheet on the grass) and there were 9 altogether and one small toad.


9) Didn't know what to do for tea so made special fried rice which went rather well with some chicken kievs.


10) The first person found our geocache! He had better equipment than us so I have bowed to his superior knowledge and updated to more accurate coordinates.


11) Holby City.


12) The allotment programme awaits but I think I'm too tired now. Might just go to bed and listen to the Archers.

1. Woke up to the yellow thing. In fact the pleasure should just be that I woke up :rotfl:
2. An hour's gardening this morning and another this afternoon, we're a little slow as neighbour's DD is learning how to plant up, pot on etc
3. nsd/npd
4. My shiny new lever taps in the bathroom. Kind plumber even put new sealant around the bath for me
5. My first ever beetroot sandwich. I liked it!

Sweet dreams

There is loads of chocolate this morning in BoP place.

Ssssssssh no telling BoPsie it is her birthday!

And as promised. YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW

5 Treadered on the cyclette last eve and got fleeced with BoPsie. I had crab cakes, sea bass and a decent tart! BoPsie on her birthday treat had spring roll, burger and sticky toffee pud.

4 BoP guessed the bill to within 7 pennies. We used to play a game of getting to fifty notes. But we had wobbleades as well!

3 Too many wobbleades in fact.but got BoPsie home safe.

2 Day is her birthday again. See above!

1 Greet the goodness of the YELLOW THING No apologies from BoP is you have no sun!

And the reason we say fleeced, it is name of watering place. The Fleece

Beetroot is very popular over here...every salad sandwich has beetroot in it ...not my thing personally!

So it's Wednesday evening , I've just had freebie lasagne for tea ( whispers, not as nice as my own but hey! It was free from work so thank you very much! )

What a day!
2 car smashes right outside work that I attended . First one was head on collision ( one guy on his phone apparently ..when will people learn?... I attended to the woman, her baby and tried to get her mother to sit down, she just kept wandering around. Emergency services were there in about 10 minutes. Luckily no severe injuries, just airbag and seatbelt pain and baby was fine. Then once all that was sorted out, bang! Number 2. Male driver in car went into a diabetic hypo and smashed in to the van parked outside. Missed the van driver by about 2 feet. So I stayed with car driver until ambulance came. He was very confused and disorientated. So, far too much drama for a Wednesday! Luckily no one was seriously injured , both could have been so much worse. Glad to have been able to help....felt like I was a Casualty extra!

Was very kindly gifted 2 pairs of new shoes. The office above us is a sports shoe company and the guys are in all the time. Usually have a blether with them, so they said come up and get a pair of shoes, the sample sizes are my size , so popped up on my break this morning and came out with 2 pairs of shoes had to check I could get my orthotic insoles in and could, so that was a lovely treat.

Watched the eclipse of moon last night...doing my best Bonnie Tyler impersonation.....total eclipse of the moooon! Saw a possum whilst I as out .

Work has been good past couple of days and I'm on 2 days off now! I'm looking forward to it. Over here, there is absolutely nowhere open on Good Friday ( apart from Spar type shops) , it is a very big public holiday here. So I have so much to do tomorrow ( just for a change)

DD1 has been doing the ironing this week for me!

My work colleague phoned me yesterday as I was punctual for work....was I okay? Normally I'm 15-20 minutes early and I just thought nah! I will go in on time and got the later train in, so they were concerned as I wasn't in at my early time! Nice they care but I just couldn't be @rsed going in

I think that's me...as usual , workety work and then home, tea and zzzzzz!

Weather has turned cooler at night, my new to me blanket has made such a cosy difference and it's very pretty too:)

Have a lovely day
pirate Pete , hope your lady wife has a lovely birthday and yesterday's hospital visit was nothing serious.

Have a lovely Wednesday

Ps....got my other cinema ticket for podiatrist!

Happy Birthday Mrs BoP _party_
(play nice BoP)

Thanks for the tip SS I wondered about putting anything on it, next time I'll try it with mayo - later today, perhaps

1. Meeting my lovely girls, DD and DGD2, for a shopping day. The first part is OS, will let you know what happened in the second part (ie how much I tried not to spend) later

Have a super yellow thing day

eta well done on your attendance mhags, too many people stand around just looking (rubbernecking?)and haven't got a clue what to do. You have 2 days off? Wow, whatever will you do with allthat time? Fill every second if I'm guessing right . Enjoy

Choc and beetroot are a wonderful combi in cakey Heaven[vicky, are you listening?] Lovely roast veg. too.

Today's Big Yellow Thing ?-
Will Lady Bopsie manage to puff out all 18 candles in one blow?
Magic up a lubbly day all day - we know you will[probably a triple word-score belter], with matching wobbles to you both.
All aboard the good ship Raffles. When did he show up again? What excuse given? None, je suppose. It's the 2-foots who must grovel and plead before their 4-foot keepers.

1. Church packed and overflowing, standing room only, for the village and wider area's farewell to brother, 93. Both widows have same name and she was determined to walk the length of the aisle; did so, slowly, turning and tremulously smiling to those she knew - everyone therefore. They met, decided on each other, at primary school. Were married for 66 years, same year as Queen, with HM greetings at anniversary 50, 60, then 65 - 'They're almost on first name terms now', said our Vic. Learnt that our Church's North tower flagpole is the mast from his WWII minesweeper. Many, many fine moments in the addresses and laughter. Including the disbelief of hi-sci dignitaries who came with electronic/aeronautical/nasa problems to The Workshop and found precisely that - a long run of old brick outhouses, former veg.packing sheds, more former still, ex-early aircraft build/experiment spaces...where they'd expected some hi-tech campus architecture.
Normandy landings used sth of his and this too remains embedded in current teaching, apart from that referred to some posts back. A trip back in 2005 saw him honoured in France, unknown by most yesterday.

2. Agape meal in neighbouring village was marvellous, bulging lasagne at every corner. Fabulous evening, with so many interesting people to have time to know at a shared table. Some real surprises. Opposite me, mild lady turns out to be scientific research Fellow at Jesus and dynamic, full of quiet steely drive. Two chaps were looking for maker of &'s dessertand asked for recette. em's this morning. Very insistent charming young lady re: Mummy's choc cake[wicked looking], heard my Lent refusal....so, & has 2 portions now in fridge, for not long now:-)...with 1st coffee too. A pleasure anticipated.

3. Going out, then back in to tell remaining few to come out and see THAT moon, THOSE stars, THIS sky...yes, lfs, it was gloriously beautiful. How lucky we all were to see it last night, full moon galleon sailing.

4. Bank card came yesterday for no-fee use in NZ. Hooray!

5. Just took dopey kitchen bee outside and put him in apple blossom.

mhags - thank goodness you were there. Isn't hands-free mob. use a law in Oz, as here? Wonderful karma with shoes.

Special WELCOME to Jue, lovely pleasures. May I borrow you for 'a hand with some things'. I'm definitely hauling suitcase down from loft today.....well, sometime before I fly.

It's a yellow thing world atm - let's revel in it[while wrapping warmies round self, chill wind still doth Fenny blowe].
