First lot of work came in. Took ages to do but I will speed up when templates are written. It was sooo interesting though, loads of variety.
Have forgotten to put the recycling bin out, good job I'm not in bed yet, even tho I should be.

5 The result of the paper plane completion at the mill yesterday was fixed. Even though I demanded, and quite rightly so, a rematch, our Pegasus was no match for the other ones. Though we left disappointed, we did have a decent snorker in a roll! Fresh lemonade was also consumed.

4 Was out with camera club last night in local village. Not a good shoot, but some tests were completed. The local wobbleade emporium had a beer that assumed piracy was like some fantasy movie. It is not, so I refused the wobbleade as I will not have anything to do with evil that still happens of the horn of Africa and the Mollcocan Straits. I had foam beer instead, nitrogen enriched lager. Wasa asked about the tall ships in Glawster. Agin, I did not go round them last time as they were bedecked in pirate flags. Please avoid.

3 While talking about the mill and the bails of cotton that are to be turned into cloth, project has completed phase 1. Now we are about to build our model. This will be fun and I fear hair loss amongst the proletariat! Cures for hair loss are available out with this parish! I do not think tempers will be frayed! On another note, it seems that somewhere along the lines, the tes thinks I am an educationalist! I’m not. So their £3 offer will go astray. On that, Messer’s T wrote about non attendance inn their emporium. So kind of them to notice, but they sent £5.50 inn vouchers for me to spend. I liquidated it and had to hand over only £1. So much for putting a tiger in the tank. Usual rules, avoid!

2 Will be in town tonight, curry or mixed gorilla is on offer. May be on the big Warster train later. Proper wobbleade will be consumed.

I doubt you did that.

Morning / afternoon all. Another day, another train... this time en route to Sarfend to watch DD's last performance for Uni :eek: Let's hope it isn't the last one ever

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Beautiful warm sunshine. I know it can't last, but i do love it so.
2. Cleaned the house in 2 hours, followed by a shower. Did the shopping and got some things on discount in sainsbugs - and could use my £9 off voucher. :T I don't use said supermarket much but there are some things i can only get from there...
3. Another PhD breakthrough - they are miniscule breakthroughs but every little helps
4. 2 loads of washing line dried
5. Dinner with OH and my boy in birmingham. Boy finished school yesterday. Followed by OH and i going to CBSO - my favourite piece being a Dvorak cello concerto - my favourite instrument and a fast becoming favourite composer. Symphony Hall was less than half full - security? weather? Hopefully not the pattern for the future. They were a very enthusiastic crowd however.

Have a great day and weekend folks

Bedtime. Stayed up till everyone was in.

Hurrah for Friday. Work was okay.

Didn't do too much at all really once I was home. Snuggled with my dog mainly.

Lovely surprise from a friend of many years , a $200 supermarket voucher. We were at school together and did our Saturday job at same place and she was maybe a year behind me doing nursing training. She's now just over the water in NZ. I knew she was sending me a voucher as she had needed lots of details but was certainly not expecting that much.

Lovely chat with my niece.

My house is up for sale! Tenants have left the most awful paint job on each & every wall but advised to sell as is rather than pay to get it painted. I don't have any emotional attachment to it anymore so it can go ...to someone with a paint brush and pots of paint! At least the truly horrendous curtains were taken down!

DFV hope your boy is okay x

1) Found a breathable waterproof jacket 'in a bag' (like a Kag in a Bag but with a zip) in Milletts sale for £15.....size 12!!!!!

2) The perfume from the Accacia trees dotted round the village (we're warm enough for them to thrive) that are covered with spikes of white flowers just now, it's exotic and so sweet.

3) Swallows 'hawking' swooping and soaring up again across the field where the horses grazed all last summer. This year it's covered in wild flowers which are obviously attracting lots of insects which is giving the swallows a feast.

4) Elderflowers in profusion on the footpaths, a magnificent year for them and the perfume (which I love, though some hate it) is heady and heavy in the air. A fabulous year for making cordial if you like it.

5) A treat for lunch in the form of 2 slices of roast topside and 2 slices of roast beef both from Mr.T's deli counter in the reduced section of the supermarket this morning, delicious they were too!

Some pleasures for the week,

This warm, sunny weather means all holiday washing is done and I have been searching the house for everything that needs a freshen up, winter coats, scarves and gloves all done & put away.

Heard from a good friend that he has quit his toxic workplace and found a smashing new role.

All went well with Tilly dogs operation and she is recovering well.

Used vouchers to get the dogs an inflatable paddling pool, not yet used as see above.

Fragrant stocks on my fireplace perfuming the whole room.

Was in the vets today and someone brought in 8 boxer pups, gorgeous bundles of loveliness but couldn't help but notice that at the time another lady was quietly passed box containing ashes of late dog, poignant and heartbreakingly timed.

Our oven only needed a new element so not so costly.

There is chilled white wine in the fridge and about to have tea in the garden

Wobbleade emporium is open. Plenty of seat. BoPsie has glad rags and lippy on. Large mixed gorilla ordered. BoP is going to feast. More later.

World pea harvest is on BoP's plate. They're safe. They will not be eaten. More later.

Big Warster train is a hour away. The wobbleade dispenser is closer. No voice. Hoc.

I bust glove auto text. Not Kent 2 say that but I have a voice. It was no choice! Now where's BoP. Just refilled with wobbleade. Guess Warster train of big is leaving without me!

And I see that BoPsie has gone herself to the bar and another wobbleade is pored. The Train of Big to Warster is due. One is going to have to drink very quickly or just sit and wait for the milk train.

The milk train it is.

Wow vickya enjoy the match
Little breaks maketh a PhD vjsmum
Today was Dolomites day
1) 4 seasons breakfast - eggs for spring, tomatoes for summer, mushrooms for autumn and bacon for winter. Yummy
2) an awful lot of hairpins and we stopped at a very pretty village (looked more Austrian than Italian) for coffee stop. I had aperol - very refreshing
3) more climbing, more hairpins and we arrived at the summit (roadwise anyway). Very nice venison stew to counter the altitude queasiness. Certainly felt light-headed at 7000 m
4) one more stop on the descent - Americano con latte and sunshine
5) back to the hotel for a very nice meal. Now lying on my bed (5th floor), balcony door open, listening to the music. He'll stop at 10:30 but till then lots of cheesy disco. Currently he's belting out it's raining men. Love it :-)
