After writing my last post went to have cup of tea before walk and again within a minute was Flo and Fluffy her youngest.
They waited but this time when I took bowl out, all the while sing-songing to them, they didn't fly away. Flo allowed me within about 3 feet of her.
Am dead chuffed !

For yesterday,
Chat with post lady who had brought a parcel, told her she was a lightweight for not having her shorts on, it was absolutely bucketing down! She was still laughing as she went out the gate.
The electrician came and had our switch changed over in 10 minutes.
An unexpected surprise left on our garden gate, there are some thoughtful people in this world.
DB dropped in on his way to play 5aside to pick up DN’s present, quick chat and he was gone, taking a freshly baked, still warm, loaf with him. He messaged me 10 minutes later to say had already eaten some, needed the carbs apparently ☺️
Ghost?
Well it is that time?

Pleasures for yesterday
1. Online tutorials were painless - a bit of a 'ballache' but money for old rope
2. Took DS shopping for food - gives me an idea of what he would buy (carp mostly)
3. Made beef in beer for tea (though accidentally used a bottle of OH's 'posh' beer - it was nicer for it though)
4. Family film nnight - The Trial of the Chicago 7. Was good
5. Gin
Have a great day all
absolutely amazing. Not sure I've ever seen an owl in real life...........

Bala. I'm pleased the pet crows continue to delight
BoP. I'm not sure we'd really notice if Kitty typed a word or two for you!
Frith. How clever to take a picture of the owl like that.
Today
Pleasures 1 to 5
Met DS with DGC in a nearby park ( still allowed) ! Fortunately it was dry and quite mild. We exchanged birthday gifts and ate ice cream and then the children played crazy golf. Simple pleasures, but easily the best day of the week! Missing friends and family is the worst part of all this, but it does make us appreciate how good it is to see them when we can.
Happy Friday everyone
Happy Birthday Cas. Sounds like a lovely day.
Loving the photos guys!
Yesterday
1. Altered DS2 curtains. They have draped across the floor for about 5 years!
3. DD cooked tea of ribs and stir fry vegetable rice.
4. I made a pineapple upside down cake, which we had with custard.
5. We all watched The Addams Family.
We have more in common than that which divides us. (Jo Cox)
Hello day off! And oooh hello a full night sleep.
And nice chats to staff in both...we were bemoaning some people’s lack of social distancing...as in I’ll just squeeze past you so I’m actually physically touching you...no thanks...excuse me, would you mind stepping back and I’ll step in to the side...said twice! I really do not want a virus if it can be helped. Really not sure why some people still don’t get this? At work the other day 3 people walked in ( we ask people to wait to be seated) and were about to sit at a just vacated table that was still to be cleared) So I asked them to please wait outside until it was cleared, which they did. And anyone who’s worked in hospitality will know you could have 6 empty tables and someone will come in and sit at the dirty one but really? Particularly in current times as we try to keep ourselves safe as well as our customers. Grrrr.
Anyway pleased with my purchases and then home.
May have had a snoozette instead of intended leaf picking!
2 watching The Sister, ok so far
3 unexpectedly fine weather for dog walk
4 moment of peace and calm with a latte earlier

1) woke early and watched episodes 4-6 of life, loved it
