Milann's life keeps getting in the way.......

Get your OH told!!!

😂😂 That’s the idea SA...trouble is he’d usually trawl around B&Q several time deciding just what he needs to do the job.....then get what he said first time. He won’t be able to that this time....I’ll still be talking about getting it done next year 😂😂

Exactly what Mr SA used to be like 😩🤣 That’s why I now get someone in to do things despite his protests. Costs more obviously but at least it gets done properly.

I’ve told him Beanie.....think it might fall on deaf ears though 🤔😂🤪
If it doesn’t get done by the end of the year I will get someone in SA - he’s not working atm so there’s no excuse in my eyes.....he can source materials from t’internet. I think some of the problem is he doesn’t know where to start....he’s usually pretty handy but likes to plan EVERYTHING down to the last nail - whereas I’m a build it as you go along type of gal and I change things as I go......it’s a wonder we’ve managed 41 years together 🤪🤔😳👍

It’s the simple things .....😀....on my walk yesterday evening I passed a little bakery around the corner from me....but a road I don’t often go along. I’ve never been there before and had actually forgotten about it. This bakery is on a little industrial unit and opens funny hours. Anyway since we needed bread we said we’d support them and buy some bread today. We walked around - the queue looked enormous but moved pretty quickly. I bought home made bread, cake, potato cake and a pasty that looked nearly as good as the ones in Cornwall for dh (although I bet they aren’t - dh hasn’t eaten it yet) but they were selling bags of FLOUR.....my flour tub is now full again. It doesn’t take much to keep me happy. The lady ahead of us in the queue was saying Jason Mansfield was there a week or so ago buying bread. I’ll definitely be supporting them in future 👍😀😀 when I’m off work....but they’re closed by the time I come home.

I think some of the little positives coming from this lockdown is finding out more about our own localities. I've found some really nice routes on my daily walks together with some interesting shops that I wouldn't have seen normally. Hopefully they'll be opened once lockdown is finished and I can investigate.

How lovely to find a bakery so local, the smell of freshly baked bread, you are making me hungry. Discovering new places on your walks, I discovered a new housing estate , well new to me all named after rivers today. 

 You sound like you are enjoying your downtime and being at home.

I actually am enjoying being at home. 

I’m doing the work asked of me and a couple of extra bits I’m especially interested in. There seems to be a bit of competitive goings on between some of the staff trying to outdo each other - I’m not interested in it though - let them get on with it. I’m not posting what I’ve done on the shared site - just in my weekly report to my line manager. I’m too long in the tooth to play those sorts of games. 🤪
I spent a lovely hour on the phone to a cousin I used to be very close to but life has got in the way for us both and we have lost touch. I bumped into her about a month ago and promised to phone but never got around to it. So today was the day. She must be best part of 80 now (I’m closer in age to her children) anyway she sounded down when I phoned as they are shielding themselves. She kept telling me how I’d cheered her up....I need to keep it up and stay in touch with her. It’s quite funny that she mentioned a relative who in my head is still in his 30s anyway she said he was 75 last week.....my wake up call that time is a ticking🤔😳😂

There is often a smell of bread, I always presumed it was from the big Morrison’s across the railway line from me...my corner shop....but we concluded it could also be from this bakery. It’s torture if we are in the garden and they are baking or roasting meats. It’s no wonder I don’t loose weight. That said I’ve lost 1 1/2lb this week 😀

I love the smell of baking bread even though I don’t eat it much. I used to work in a very old building and just occasionally you got the odd whiff of baking bread for no reason. Turned out it was a bakery many, many years ago, how spooky 😱👻

Well done on the weight loss 👍
