Happy Birthday Firth:j:j:j

Thank you for the kind thoughts he's rallied at the mo.

1. I worked from home today as truly shattered from work commuting and running about in the evenings.:)
2. I was able to pre empt most of my bits last night so did them last night to free up some of the day today.:D
3. Filled with dealing with dads doctors and carers a pleasure to be able to.
4. I also put in a call to upgrade my phone package to unlimited everything as the numerous calls these past few weeks have blown the bill but very helpful and all sorted but now I fancy a 4G able phone as I have unlimited data as well but one thing at a time, also managed to get a £2 discount each month sort of MSE.:o
5. Numerous washing loads cycling around, bedding hung to dry, our clothes another load, the animal bedding, and the towels making use of the weather.:j
6. Paid the bills, a pleasure to be able and made a mental note to re-enter some sort of lottery not sure which one.:D
7. Went to get the cars air con re gassed left it there while I went across the road to the doc, picked up and sorted prescriptions and have a lovely cold car again.:o
8. Able to take time this evening watching the garden get watered, seeing the lilys out in bloom trying to fight the lily beetle, sitting with an ice cold drink no inkahol here just in case of emergencies.
9. We thought about going out tonight just to mooch about but CBA, so I’m ordering in pizza on a voucher, downloading an Outlander episode and doing little.
10. Time to paint hand and toe nails.:p

Flocking L. Some should had remained under the Duvet. A days I move further from the insecurity of fairy the story.

The enemies are those that jerk the chains on the curtains and pigeon hole the sets. Stop dividing the people!

It's tomorrow again - seems to happen most days:-)...even after such a day of horror as yesterday.

1. &'s 1st mse decade complete, I perceive. I remember despairing self on telephone amid R's suicide horrors ongoing, interrupted by the sound of a voice I did not yet know. Martin was expounding/explaining Say No to 0870 on Women's Hour and that was my precious beginning on this site.
Thankyou Martin, always.

2. Cooking for tomorrow arvo's post-Election Garden Party just done - a large seafood lasagne type invention[king prawns and NZ green-lipped mussels rtc by 95% @ Emporium!] and 2 extreme luxe-y rum/lychee/nana/almond trifles, incorporating &'s h-m choc. dipped strawbs. On verra. Licks a.k.a. 'cleaning up' bode well.

3. Lemn Sissay elected Chancellor of the University of Manchester.

4. Booked quick jaunt covering Bastille Day, using Mr T vouchers for DFDS, &'s preferred carrier since Speedferries went belly-up. & will never be found in albion on this date. A little bit of buying, communing with peeps, pour que je puisse me sentir bien dans ma peau. Can't say I'm not thinking about current events and being safe, but I always travel with doors locked, have axe, hammer and all sorts on board. I avoid Calais by choice, prefer Dunkerque. Then Beth Chatto's garden 18 July, hence curtailment till later in year.

5. Looks as if blackbird baby lift-off occurred this afternoon and, fingers crossed, no little corpses to be seen, unlike robins a month ago.

Street market starts in near village in 9 hrs. Some decent buying always a possibility for Spitalfields/France at events like these.

Still loving this week's new painting. It's late &, au lit - and you can gaze at it some more.
Still have St Stephen of Fry's DID and Sandi's last blast to listen to.

1. Went to a wedding reception on Thursday - it was a great evening- good company, much drink, food and dancing.

2. Met a friend for lunch yesterday - great to catch up. She lives in Hong Kong at the moment so we rarely met. She is here for about a month so we will probably meet up again.

3. Chat with a neighbour - don't normally see him.

4. More gardening and managing to achieve something even with "help" from the chickens.

5. My cosmos are flowering which is surprising as I basically threw out of date seeds into a patch of soil.

6. First coffee of the day in the garden.

Five things to improve our world.

5 Go and join a Armed Forces Day event, and wear a rainbow wristband.

4 Call for an end to Gender Apartheid in society.

3 Finish off with a pride event, wearing your second wristband of the day.

2 Stand and remember others, and buy a poppy wristband

Then wander abound why the richest building in the parish makes a suggestion about poverty, walk past the Oxford Committee shop. They have not enlightened nor eradicated poverty in 70 years, are they are unlikely to start now!

I had a lovely day yesterday.

1. Found a phone number for a neighbour of a friend who keeps bees. They had come back from holiday to find 20000 mainly dead bees in a bedroom. Thankfully its been sorted.

2. A small section of my garden is looking as I want it. Or did before my
chickens decided to look for ants/worms.

3. Paid some cheques into the bank. Should help this month as we are busy.

4. Had a BBQ and grilled home grown courgettes amongst other things. Both DS2 were home as well.

5. Still peaceful between DS1 and DS2.

Yoiks to the bees!

Just popping in and saying hello , been to work, worked, home from work.

An extra $35 for yesterday .....absolutely no chance today as we weren't busy enough , however, I've worked my first four full day week in 10weeks. My body is also telling me I've worked four full days! ( with another one tomorrow but that's a new week,) my bank account shall tell me midweek I've worked four full days instead of three half ones!

Anyway, do have a lovely Sunday, going to phone my sister now for a catch up

Thirty three years since my first chief retired and expressed his boyfriend. How much more enlightened these days.
