1 When I say I’ve hung the washing on the line, this is the help I get each time I do it., Kit and Kat are the albino’s always helped by the resident nutter me I mean Lion with the darker coat.
2 I’ve noticed we like a little bit of chocolate each day, lockdown makes it noticeable when we ran out, we now opt for a little good quality chocolate, which makes it a proper treat, I ordered some more in from the local chocolate person, we opted for easter chocs as they are in the sale and the same quality.
3 The smell of the rosemary, roses and lavender wafting in through the French windows, after it’s been watered.
4 I’m doing a bit of soul searching, I would really like some local honey, but to get it at the moment, the delivery is more than the product so I am umming and ahhing.
5 Watching Ben Fogles life in the wild re visiting people.

Pleasures for today (Tuesday)
1) A lie in.
2) Finally managed to get bigger son's antibiotics! Friendly and helpful pharmacist.
3) 2 more bags of muck.
4) Went to my sister's to help brother in law lift the canoe off the car roof rack. Still 3 metres apart, as it's so long. (They went canoeing in 2 different canoes).
5) Campfire on the allotment.
6) Watched the Greyson Perry art programme.

Frith the flowers look lovely.
Strange day yesterday
We had a long drive - nearly 3 hours to attend sister in laws funeral. We were invited though We hadn't seen her in 33 years. DH( his sister) wasn't sure how to feel but pleased in a way he knows what has happened to her. It was a strange funeral with 10 people social distanced. It was a nice service.
We then met a friend social distanced that we hadn't seen for a while in her garden. It was good to catch up but told us some not great news about a couple of things.
Working today so will be back to normal.15 -
Aw PK those are some seriously cute laundry assistants!
Fab flower pics Frith
For yesterday,
My equine girlie showed some challenging behaviour when I dared to lunge her, she calmed down in the end but doesn’t know yet she will now do three days in a row!
Home a tad hot & bothered and beloved had prepared a lovely salad for lunch, I like this WFH.
Some work done in the garden but also some sitting down and reading done as well.
So many bees, mainly on the honeysuckle.
A beautiful sunset and a crescent of a moon.14 -

Sunny again! So lucky!
Yesterday I felt really sorry for myself and fed up of everything for no apparent reason. Anyway, I went for a long walk and gave myself a good talking to and feel a lot better today. I have much to be thankful for, and usually am aware of it. Just a blip hopefully.
Fish n chips for tea. Local favourite restaurant is doing a very efficient ring and collect takeaway service. Probably helped in cheering me up!
Going to sit in a friend's garden this afternoon, distanced of course. She has been living at her daughter's for lockdown, but her daughter is back at work now, so she's back home. Will be much to catch up on!
Happy 🌞afternoon everyone15 -
Ostrich!
No it is not BoP after two wobbleades! Was Orton in Cumbria! Spring BH in 2014! They do a scarecrow festival every year! Mind u, a Jennings wobbleade emporium. Carp. AVOID
The Terminator was watching his patch this morning, but he is doing his Raffles bit for the BBQ at the weakened. It looks on for Saturday this weak. Details soon and don't forgets BoP's marinade sauce for the buzzards.
PK, keep them furry things safe, Raffles does not want to get too excited!
Now with your life of BoP!
I has bin reviewing the flix for you last over the last too days. The Intern, with BoP de Nero! Very good, bit long and on the flix things. Coffee and Kareem. On the flix thing, an over the top comedy. Wobbleades and decent cheese was consumed. Film selection for tooday is a ... Details tomorrow.
Had the hot tortoise pastas last nite, loaded with cheesed off bacon. Inn home tom pasta sauce and served with corns and finely chopped onions. Nice and tasty. Still has some tortoise pastas left for tomorrow. Tonite we will be havings another busted buzzard curry. Currently brewing on the stove! Will be served with BoP special rice! Details available on request.
Watching the cricket. Did not thinks the Lancashire would do it again this morning, but another match is underweigh! Durham vs Warwickshire.
Washed BoP's motor this morning and put some petrol into her. Thirst time since March! Just chequed me bank statement, we has not taken cash out since 16th March! At least the motor now does too months between refills!
BoPsie is desperate for a Steels run! We need to brake three!
Forgots too say, check your utility bills, cheap deals are on offer and don't give them too much money. For an average house like BoP's Pad.
Gas 11,000 kWh per year
Elect 3,000 kWh per year
BoP uses a well insulated house, with heating on 24/7 on times thermostat. No room radiator temperature valves and LED lites throughout. This weigh we has no condensate or damp. House has cavity wall insulation!
That is all four your version of BoP Lives!
A little bee is pollinating our world, the spring is here

Hot potato kind of day here ...strewth! And to think I lived in a hot country!
up and out to supermarket for 7am . Mum wanted a few things.
home and cuddles with my dog.We usually have a cuddle after his first walk and breakfast. And I’d left for shops without cuddles so we had to snuggle for a bit when I got in...I just wanted to be there and back before it gets busy.
went to mums. Cut grass, pulled weeds , did dishes and then walked home.Then it’s been a case of not overly much! Got rather too much sun of my back which I will be moaning a later.
caught up on my Masterchef Australia and the last episode of an Australian drama I was watching.
put the gazebo up but still roasting!Son cooked tonight. Gammon steak with far too spicy wedges and yummy corn on the cob.16
