1) My foot isn't sore any more, oh blessed relief! we've just walked across the common and through the woods and not even a twinge!!!
2) It's been nice watering the polytunnel, greenhouse and garden this evening in the sunshine, lots of birdsong, flowers in everyones gardens and warmth in the air, blissful.
3) DD1 has just made and painted a lovely wooden tray as a base for some Zoo Animals and Aquarium Creatures I got at a boot fair for Zebra. His favourite place is the zoo where they live so having his own at home to play with will make him happy.
4) Our second batch of runner beans has germinated, popped out leaves and has been planted out on the wigwam of bamboos.
5) A pack of nice soft top socks we ordered for me from Ebay arrived today and are super quality and very good value for money.0 -

KK careful with the candles, look at the time! Think BoP. Think duvet!
Frith, it's them red petticoats that get me!
Mrs L. Vitamin D. For the health. Do what BoP does, take his supplements! And marmite is fortified with it, but did BoP no good!
5 Had those wheat biscuits in ice cold milk, then Jam, raspberry with pips, on hot buttered toast. Remember, emulsions are for the walls! Washed down with tea! Rubs Tum.
4 Lunch is hot snorkers and onions, with new tatties, buttered and minted, batten carrots and peas. Served with mince pies and hot fresh lumpy custard. Rubs Tum in anticipation. Think the flour is going to make it messy. BoPsie has decided to do her ironing watching rugby outta way!
3 Sat inn yard this morning with cuppa tea, and cakes of Jaffa. Rubs Tum. Raffles is chasing his jumping ball! Listening and watching the trains go pass. Seems the Welsh ones are diverted today as the Severn tunnel is closed. Get me anorak and spotters book out. You know you want to!
2 Just seen them Ceylon cricketers get out for not too many. Poor team this time. Oh well, keeps bBoP tidy.
Nothing compares to holiday like cheese and wine!
Mice Tarts Alert
You know who wears the pinny!
Proper pastry, hand rubbed with real butter and lard! No emulsions!
Careful ladies with the sharp cutters!

1) A super day out there today with enough breeze to keep us comfortable.
2) Visit to a boot fair resulted in good things at not high prices.
3) A Grand Prix, the IPL 20/20 Cricket final and The England Wales Rugby from Twickenham this afternoon, Whoopee!!!

Another lovely day, what is it about sunshine that makes you feel so happy? Possibly because we rarely see it:)
1. A lie in
2. Breakfast outside
3. Lunch with my sisters
4. 3 loads of washing done and line dried so everyone has clean bedding
5. Had freezer leftovers for tea which meant no cooking so I felt like baking and all the tins are now full of goodies.
Happy Bank Holiday.
