1. still chilly in the mornings and thick fog one morning but lovely sunshine in the afternoons when leaving work

2. horrible colleague was off sick part of the week - not glad she is ill but it has meant its been fairly quiet this week

3. no school traffic so roads have been much quieter

4. takeaway on Thursday using 50% off voucher

5. took birthday card to friend whose mum recently passed away. Shes still not "with it" can tell from her behaviour and conversation but was glad to be able to give her some emotional support

Have a good weekend everyone x

I had a good day yesterday. Friday is my day off and though my back was very sore I managed the pain by doing things in for a short time and then doing something else.

1. My pots at the front of the house. The tulips have just come out and look lovely with the daffodils and pansys.

2. I found a sheltered spot in the garden and had my lunch sitting outside watching my chickens.

3. I tidied a few pots and watered them and pleased that my fuchsias have survived the winter.

4. Stirfry for tea - 2 very small chicken breasts fed 3 of us with lots of veg. It was very tasty.

5. I had to throw some flowers away and then put remaining ones in a smaller vase and they will last longer and still look good.

And it is not just the sea that divides?

Nor the rush north either?

Slaves rushing to South Africa?

Don't bury your head in the sand, and as I have done since being shot at from the mountains of the horn of Africa in 1984, while those coastal people of the Med, Cyprus welcomed us not! They seem still not to welcome us. No rush to some pop junket either, well Mum BoP was dying of cancer so no rush. Still boycott the big business, et al, including the emporiums, and the only one on the ground. Medecins Sans Frontieres

Again there, 29 years after getting to get Gadaffy Duck! (Cyprus readied April 1986)

Walks past the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief shoop. Not ventured in. Where the Flock In L are they?

Sorry, but must remember the Slave market when the plane from Bangladesh landed at KKIA!

Africa is tearing itself apart!

Rainy-Days

Nothing spectacular but something else crossed off my list

1. Nice walk out this morning in the sunshine with the dog.

2. Got back and put two loads of washing out on the line for drying - some of it is still out there but it's not far off dry.

3. This is the biggie - I cleaned the car inside and out this morning. Started just after 10am and finished at just gone 12.30pm. Vac'ed it out well and dusted all inside. The biggest was waxing it though. I got halfway through with polishing the wax off and thought - yeah well this was a fab idea wasn't it. Just kept going with it though and it is gleaming now. Really pleased with it, because it needed wax polishing as it had not been done since October last year

4. Going to have a fry up for Saturday's evening meal and I am looking forward to that.

5. Watched some of Gardeners World on pre-recorded TV an hour ago whilst I had a cup of tea and a couple of ginger biscuits. I am flipping shattered after that car :rotfl:

Sitting in the garden with a cup of tea and a magazine. Of course, it would have been even more pleasurable had quite a big football game complete with fans with airhorns not been on 100ft from my door :rotfl:

Putting my perfectly folded laundry away.

Doing my budgets last night and working out what was an essential expense - and working out how many hours a month I need to do to cover them. It's not THAT many :j

I think I'm going to take a walk in the countryside later. There's a beautiful walk here along a gorge, which will be nice to do if the weather holds up - which I am lead to believe it will. It will also help me beat my mum with the (not so OS) fitbits that we just got. She keeps inviting me to challenges, and winning. It's turning me into a mad woman :rotfl:

And lastly, the weather! Can't get more old style than the sun! And yet it never fails to make me smile AND a lot more productive.

Just built a tree swing with/for my nephews. And climbed a tree :rotfl:

And cooked a pizza, potatoes and veggies on a bonfire :j

Hello lovely people, I’ve missed this place.

I’ve been back a week but some holiday pleasures
1. The weather was mainly beautiful.:cool:
2. Wildlife so close we could almost touch it, all sorts of finches and woodmice, bats at night.:)
3. Reading proper printed books in the sun while watching the tides come in.:p
4. Great food, we kept costs down by using lidl and aldi, things like the 2 pizzas with mozeralla for a pound each, and when we did eat out it was amazing, things like fish and chips all top quality at little cafes for not too much.:T
5. DH has a birthday milestone coming up so we re booked in again.:o

Today’s pleasures
1. A lovely day all to myself a rarity but I am the sort of person who needs occasional lone time, DH off out for the day with both brekkie and a packed lunch.:o
2. I spent my time in the garden, mowing, weeding, planted out a lot of greenhouse plants into fence pots and hanging baskets. Then treated the massive hoya as it’s flowering, just dampening it’s leaves and for the baby hoya planted into a bigger pot. Then planted out the veggies that where ready.:)
3. Daft pleasure boiled eggs, I love them, with soldiers a must.:o:o
4. Shopped and shopped about for a bulk animal order and managed to get a mix of offers from the normal supplier making it £50 cheaper than usual I am happy.:)
5. Made cupcakes and food planned as a very long day of training lays ahead tomorrow, bah humbug.:)

Kittikins
