Got a sweet story to share.

We have an elderly couple come to the park for a walk then have something to share in the cafe, they used to ask for a separate plate but now I just dish them up to slightly smaller portions for the same price, from the way they talk I dont think they are that well of and coming to ours is a weekly treat. Last week they showed me photos of red squirrels on Anglesey , and I said I have always wanted to see one. But never have. This time after there meal ,they always give a small tip, and he goes, I have a little tip for you what I hope you will appreciate, it was a squirrel nutkin 50 p coin:), I was so chuffed and explained to them I love Beatrice Potter and wanted to collect them all but only had 3 rabbits and the one with writing on.
They where really pleased they had kept it for me and said they would look for more, what a lovely couple. Moments like that make the job worth doing .:D

What? Me? :cool::D

First day of semester two and we already have our first task, take photos to illustrate a document called "What should we be eating?" from BBC news online (google if you like :cool:) Bloody food photography again, think we should all learn to keep our mouths shut as last time we did food photography we said we found it challenging but enjoyed it.

The info is all a load of twaddle anyway they constantly change what they say......... need to go shopping tomorrow then.

Could you not just nip to the local park and photograph the swings and roundabouts?

However, it works both ways: irritatingly! People will travel at 40 when the limit is back at 60 and then be speeding once the 30 sign, that they seem oblivious to, is up - and even repeated signage does not seem to alert most people. They want to do 40, whenever they are.

This is how my mam drives. Its irritating, I have told her everytime that even 31 is still speeding as she has exceeded 30.

Gosh that's gone quick. :T

Local had hardly anything left anyway but would imagine Bmth might have as they had loads more to start with. I know because I did a stock check for Dodo before the 70% :rotfl:

We've never had rats daisy but mice are bad enough:eek:

What amazes me is how noisy they are above you and how quick they can run in the loft when there's acres of insulation squashed down between the rafters.

Hi TM, Years ago we had a floor laid the children used the loft as a den, they loved it climbing up the ladder into the den. I reckon the rats were having a disco up there.:D

Evening all.
