Took a different route again with Tiggy. Found a well hidden teeny weeny park. I swear I could open a shop just to sell all the blackberries I keep finding.
Bought chocolates for my niece and nephew yesterday. Forgot a bar in my bag. Ooooppps.............
Got a few RTC goods today. Really pleased.
Love seeing the photos that are posted here. (Blackbeard I always imagined Raffles as being completely black).
Just feel really content except that Tiggy is having one of those days where she doesn't understand why my hands are busy typing............and not stroking her !

Hello all, pleasures for yesterday..
1. I made cake. Lots of cake.
2. I shared the aforementioned cake with several friends so all happy.
3. Took a beanie baby toy that I bought in a charity shop ages ago to my friend's daughter. Daughter very happy as she collects them and it was one that she didn't have.
4. News of my sick friend wasn't good but it wasn't the worst.
5. I finished one of my crochet projects - a throw in zig zag greys. I only have one crochet project and one cross stitch project left now.
Hugs for your anniversary SSue.
Take care all of you16 -

Yet still happy anniversary Sue ...what a lotta years!‘tis currently raining after a dry day. A mild day ( not warm) and quite still ( usually always a breeze) so washing didn’t even quite dry so heatings been on for just a wee while and will be a wee bit longer to try and dry it off.Woke up through night with labyrinthitis. It’s been a while crocodile! Anyway had tell tale signs last night so wasn’t overly surprised just annoyed. Just has to run it’s course.Managed into town to pick up DD2 prescription. Met a dear friend ( my letter writing friend of old) in car park so had a lovely chat with her. Then went to get a ticket and after I’d put my money in noticed there was another ticket so lifted both and gave one to someone just pulling in. Then on way back gave the rest of my time to someone else. It’s slightly annoying you have to pay for a minimum of an hour regardless that I was just nipping in to pharmacy. Anyway...made 2 people happy.Then dropped off something at a friends, she popped up later with a lovely bunch of sweet peas. The darkest ones I ever did see! Deep deep purple almost blacks. Smell divine. Always reminded of my late MIL.Had a garden filled with starlings and sparrows after chucking out some scones. Gone in minutes! Haggis scowled from the window.Managed to Hoover and wash floors in between sitting downs. The blooming dog is sooooo hairy just now it’s a never ending battle. He was funny tonight as he emptied his toy box and had a play with everything.I have the softest hands...because DD2 has the softest feet!13

I have very fond memories of CUBG & hoping to get back to DUBG tomorrow
1) mrpiano made some bread - very tasty
2) finished work at 3 and walked DD2 to the train station - she's gone to London
3) walked back along the grafitti wall - some nice new ones by C Gull (See one below)
4) just got in and friend phoned - could i come round help her with her computer - her husband poured us wine
5) after supper book club social on zoom

Happy wedding anniversary, SuffolkSue and Mr Sue! That's a long time (I'm 45!)
Pleasures for today (Friday)
1) A lie in.
2) Hens OK. Courgettes looking good.
3) Managed to persuade smaller son to go to the photography shop to have his photograph taken for his driving licence. You can't smile and he's very big and very dark and looks like he would mow you down judging by that photo, but it's done!
4) Wore my mask for the first time in Aldi. To be honest, I didn't really like it as I felt I had to breathe like a steam train once it was on, which made me light headed. There is no reason for it as there is plenty of air, it'll just take some getting used to.
5) Bigger son came home from Wales. Then immediately went back out!
6) Next door (uphill) has spent days during lockdown sorting out his garden. However, 2 or 3 brambles were left between his shed and my fence and I've just had a bowl of blackberries just from those few. There are loads over the road which I will look at tomorrow (it started raining).
7) Smaller son replaced one of the fans on his desktop and I was allowed to hold the screwdrivers.
8) In bed now and will watch Gardeners World in a minute.

Suffolksue happy anniversary. Hugs
1. Enjoyed watching birds on the feeder. They are eating so much bird seed at the moment.
2. Gave some cherries to my neighbour. She was pleased.
3. DS1 came home from work with plums and satsumas.
4. Did some gardening and moved a couple of plants around which I had been meaning to do for ages.
5. Met friends - had spoken to them via zoom but much better face to face. A good catch up all at 1m+13
