For yesterday,
Boiled egg with marmite soldiers for breakfast.
Trimmed up my hair and beloved did the back for me, did the same for him and shaved the back of his neck, much tidier.
It rained, a lot! but the good for the garden and fun to watch the sparrows splashing in the puddles.
Knew my beloved wasn’t feeling so good when he asked for a cup of sweet tea, bundled him up on the sofa under warm throw and popped a war film on, he was asleep within five minutes, me around five minutes more and by the time we woke up the Normandy landings were well underway!
Another day of not going fair but the swelling on my toe is going down nicely and can now be wiggled so think badly bruised rather than broken, phew, back to riding very soon.13 -
Not Pink then ...
More like orange storks me thinks!
LT. Proper food them dippy eggs! Theres a favourite at BoP's Pad!
Now on with the BoP news!
Had spicy wings of buzzards last nite for supper, served with smoky mushroom and chilli lardons. Made from best back and topped with sauce of chilli. Rite tasty. Wobbleades, cheeses were also consumed.
Watched another flixnet last nite, Mousehunt. Was good. Raffles was most enjoying and started to think he did not need the chicken wings, but would prefer the mouse instead!
Raffles is in hiding at the moment as he had his flea treatment just now. He will be back for his food. This morning, BoPsie said he was not eating his biscuits, but when he herd BoP coming downstairs, he went and had his munches.
Cleared the yard out as we is at the dump inn the morning, Raffles made a beeline for the garage, he came from hios tunnel in the mini willow, as he was a tad hot. So we has a car full for the dump now. Sore ted the old paint as well.
BoPsie is on job creation now, as BoP finished the bowl of washing, he sat to do his crosswords and puzzles, a quick open of the door and she had her mop! That was going to bee tomorrows job after the dump run!
Had me trims, shave, scrub this morning, as I was listening to the wireless thing. They played some Pink Floyd, 'Another brick in the wall, part 2' to some incident about a bus hitting a wall. Oh dear, and there yous wander why BoP does not like educationalists! Thinks we need to add radio presenters to the list! With the splash of the boat koln, was a tad stinging this morning.
Rite, that is all for BoP this day. Will bee late tomorrow as I has the dumps to do!
Got it thirst, and a dunking ginger nut!

1) a very long chat with the ex. mil's funeral thursday.

4) having missing morning service due to long phone call, 'went' to evening service where we were joined by our sister diocese of Iowa. their bishop's wife, who is a woman of colour, gave a very powerful address.

Pleasures for today (Sunday)
1) A lie in.
2) Bigger son came back from his Peak District bike ride. He stayed (very isolated indeed!) one night in a field near Leek and one night in woodland in Shropshire. Took one look at him and...
...3) A fun filled afternoon sitting outside a hospital in Dudley (no access to any other hospital within 30 miles) while bigger son was inside getting treated for cellulitis of the face.:o Pleasure was the speedy care - apparently you have to be treated within 6 hours - and helpful pharmacist.
4) Sister has given us her surplus paving slabs. A better path for the allotment awaits.
5) A large curry for tea then damson crumble and custard.
6) Just phoned my school friend.
7) Will listen to Martin on DID just now.

Frith - hope treatment working for bigger son.
1. Back still much better
2. DH had booksellers for Wakehurst place so went for a walk there. It was lovely and so quiet - only let 84 people an hour in.
3. Heated seat in DH new car- my back was grateful for it.
4. Planted a few fern in the garden - took a while. It was done under trees so was fairly dry.
5. Sat with DH with a drink in the garden before eating meal DS2 had cooked for us.14 -
Hope eldest is feeling better very soon Frith
For yesterday,
Rubbish nights sleep so pleasure of first cuppa and small dog cuddles.
The woodpecker feeding its youngster right outside our kitchen window and then the young one had a bath.
A roast chicken dinner with rhubarb fool for afters.
Managed the evening walk and dodged the rain clouds, chilly though.
Late supper of bread & cheese.12 -
Oh dear Frith. Keep a very close eye on bigger son. Cellulitis is very nasty. Well done for getting it seen so promptly.
Great excitement today. Decided to try M + S Food. Only 2 people in queue so were inside in minutes. First time in a proper shop in 9 weeks so went a bit giddy and bought lots of inessentials. Don't care!! It was all very civilised and felt almost like a treat. Oh, and they had flour!! Expensive but will be cheaper than buying cakes etc which I would have been having to do before long.
Next was also open. It's a big store, but was only allowing 22 people at a time. We didn't need anything so didn't bother.
Started watching Whitechapel again. It's a while since it was on, so can't remember most of it. It can add to Waking the Dead and Spooks on our list of things to watch.
Happy ☁ day everyone14 -
Cell!
Battery Park, New York. 2017.
DD, I can just see that one in the Dog and Duck during the comics one nite stand!
LT, Too much cheese!
Now with your version of the Life of BoP.
Now 38 years since my comrade in arms brother was lain on Sir Galahad. GRDSMN Marks. Welsh Guards. Minded of the picture from a couple of years back, were an army veteran at Twickenham for the Army Navy game, bought six pints, one for each of his comrades that had fallen, and himself. He placed a picture of each of his comrades next to a pint, a poppy. He drank his and left. No one touched the pints that remained on the table! We never called Steve Skid again!
Had the bed batten snap last nite inn bed, no befores yous start, not because of the ..., so had to gets me saw out this morning and me screws. Soon fixed! Then I put the towel rail back up, or tighten it. Then fixed the hot water tap inn the ensuite. BoPsie then added that the main shower was leek inn, so gets me knurdlers out and sorted that as well.
Managed a week back to gets a trip to the dump sorted, so got the car full of the scrap bits, old paint and garden rubble and we headed off to the tip. No queue as we had booked and soon inn, tipped and on our weigh again. Raffles remains undisturbed inn the shade of the yard!
Watched Hangover last nite. Very good romp of a stag do in Las Vegas. I has too moor inn the flix net package. So I has some wobbleades inn for that. Cheeses and nuts shall also be consumed.
While at the shop, managed to get some chocolate, as BoPsie was getting a bit desperate for a choccie fix. Sorted.
We is has a reversion food this evening. Ravioli, and SpagYetti on toast. BoPsie wanted to add fish fingers as well.
Sorry it is late this day, as I was at the ...
That is all for this day of BoP news!
Many different types of us but not one the same
