Re pronunciation DFV I’m the same!
For yesterday,

A much cooler day, all windows opened first thing to allow trapped heat to escape.

Equine girlie seen and cosseted, she had a bad bite in her shoulder, suspect horse fly as enough to draw blood so cleaned up and soothed with lavender oil.

Excitement as the fields around the yard are reduced to stubble and eyed up for a decent gallop, such fields to equestrians are akin to nepeta for cats.

Hearing a sky lark at home, rarer this year as farmer has planted cattle feed rather than cereal crop.

Evening walk followed by a glass of something cold and sparkling whilst catching up on GW.

A good day
1. Met a fridge coffee at a garden centre- she wanted to buy pots and I wanted some gardening gloves for DH birthday.  Enjoyed looking round and coffee had improved
2. Long chat with neighbours daughter who had been staying for a few days.
3. Later had takeaway Chinese and while queuing chatted with same neighbours son who now lives locally.
4. Spent time enjoying the garden and the antics the chickens get up to.
5. Went shopping! It was much better than I thought it would be. DS1 needed some clothes as did DH. Things brought and no queuing to get into shops.

Hello all, pleasures for yesterday...

It was my working day but everything went ok

Walk along the esplanade. That's a grand title for a scruffy bit of river front but the motorway is closed for work so access to the more scenic bit wasn't happening.

Read DfV's epic post

Easy evening meal. Bacon, mushrooms, cheesey beans and toast. Yum.

Went to bed early to read my book. 

Take care all of you

That is a good shot!

Bottom of Powell at Market St. Just along the road from Heaven!
Phew, I forts that DD has set mes an exam! Gooners won and mes farcebook blues fiends are quite this day!
Snorker casserolle! Proper foods. Cheese beans! Need more info?
Yoga classes are just bending your legs!

Now with yous dose of BoP!

BoP was inn the emporiums this day! Dids the w8rs for the milk, some snap popple and crack, papaer as wes has voucher, tea, loose of the monkey type and some blitz paper! That weigh we gets the paper for note and money off as well. Thens to the A1D! for the other bits! BoPsie was checking thems strawbs and raspberries. I gets the cheeses inn! And other bits! We has the fillets of cod for dinner this day. Will be withs the shrimps, homemade sauce of the Parsley, broccoli and some minted tatties! Rite tasty and proper. No cheese will be wasted inn the parsley sauce!

Talking of the shop, we splits now. Essential £10 at the w8rs iffs we need it and the rest at the A1D!. Our local righteous wished that the A1D! would never come, butt it has and their coop is dying! Not the fault of the newcomer, but the deli counter was run down years back! Well the codpiece was £2.75 at the upstart and is £4.99 at the w8r5! So I thoughts I woods check how much we saved inn the A1D! In W8r5 to comes to around £65. Inn the upstart, that came to £35! I suppose some has toomuch pocket money, but since our upstart came too town, I cannot see any reason to shop more at them!

Is now thirty years since we woke up to the mess that the course inn Jeddah, oh Jeddah, you forgot that. In July 1990, there was a conference in Jeddah about the slant drilling by Kuwait! Chemical Alli was in the hotel we stayed in! Well, thirty years back, it came to a head and ...

Settled down after that!

Watched another flix last nite, another repeat! Cat Ballou Had that Nat King Cole singing as well. Chicken pieces and bargees were aten and wobbleades, cheeses and nuts were consumed. Box opf ogle is set to record a few mazzas this weak!

Rite, that is the end of the creative words from BoP this day!
The weigh to solve it, is to get your bloody spade out and do it yourself!

Woke up to another lovely sunny day, croissants and tea in the garden.

pleasures for yesterday and a couple for today,

Up bright and early and walked the pooches before it got to hot for them.
Put Mr M to good use making a netting frame to stop the fat pigeons eating the crops.

Went out for afternoon tea, very civilised and quiet and lots of yummies, most brought home as far to much to eat in one go.

Nice long chat with neighbour and phone calls to family.

Chicken for dinner and really proud that the veg we are having with it has all come from the garden, really got the ‘grow your own’ bug again and planning to put more of the garden 
to fruit and veg growing next year.

Currently laid shade bathing in the garden and catching up on here....lazy day planned.

Thanks for the photo BoP. The more I see the more I want to go there.  The late MrC had a medal for round 2 of the Gulf sessions - the one that kicked off in 2003. Not as nasty as the one that you served in though.

Artnoon all - great post DforV.  Circuits are just a walk by the sea - nothing too strenuous..

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Cleaned and tidied - first clean the place has had for 6 months (largely due to no one being in it).
2. Yoga and a short circuit.
3. Collected free wood for our as yet uninstalled wood burner
4. The drive home - i rarely, if ever, drive that journey but Transport For Wales are making it too difficult to travel.  It's the furthest i've driven in 16 months and i've hardly driven much at all since lockdown.  Thoroughly enjoyed it - quiet roads and loud music, perfect!
5. A takeaway curry from our favourite curry house - with leftovers.

Have a great evening all - is it gin time yet?

Hello . 

Slight change to Saturday plans when I had to take DD2 for a Covid test...so until results were in we had to self isolate and not go out. Thank goodness for such testing but holy moly, ‘twas like something out a sci fi movie . 

Anyway results came in this morning as negative so I’d to rearrange my shift at work that I could work it after all. 

Had a good shift. I’m enjoying being back. £2.95 in tips! Getting slightly more each week! 

Went to supermarket...got home to discover son and daughter had also.,.so we have much bread and many bananas!
Made myself a cheese and tomato sandwich for tea and had a slice of RTC carrot cake.
