We should had stayed with the fish!

Late Ketchup?
BoP is currently dealing with a corporation that has been stupid. It is being corrected at the moment, so no further details today. The bizzies could not give a flying monkey! BoP has censored his thoughts on here, but DD would understand that the rusty town near fish town would bee used in ire!
I am at the Docks inn the morning so no catch up until the weakened!
Keep SafeGoodbye and thanks for all the fish!

V J's mum. Fortunately my bubble friend is generally non grumpy. Good job, as we're only allowed one!
Lainey- I love to see the wren in our garden. It scuttles around like a little mouse. In fact, if I just catch a glimpse of it, that's often what I think it is.
Nice walk to the village today for a paper. Set off muffled up in scarf and gloves, and came home boiling hot.
Started wrapping gifts. It is the most back aching job, I find, whether on the table or the floor, so I only do a few at a time. But that means getting everything out and then putting it away again! Can't win.
We're in tier three. Struggling to find a pleasure there, except I can have my hair cut!
Happy rest of Thursday everyone

Hello. I too had a wren in my garden yesterday which I don’t often have and today a very plump robin.Pfft to a very early start at work to get a couple of hours done before main cook came in, however it’s extra hours and I enjoy it. Just pffft to the early start! ( which is my choice)
Very foggy and a car windscreen to scrape before I could go anywhere ❄️Popped over to friends to drop off a Christmas tree that was inside the wooden chest I’d sold last week. It’s been sitting in living room all week. Anyway it’s gone.
Home and put fire on. Hmmm when the dog jumps out the way of smoke coming out it’s time to open some windows and doors! Problem sorted and I’ve managed to keep fire going all day.Been watching The Crown this afternoon. With a dog at my feet.14 -
Been a tad busy again at work, does anyone else find the days are very long but the weeks fly past? How is that possible Einstein? I guess it's all relative. Hooray for the mariners bop and yes accepting help is a gift in itself happycas i have a friend who worked in the refugee camps in calais and learnt that accepting tea or a small gift was the best thing she could do for her refugees' pride and mental health. sometimes it was the only thing. and hooray for scotsdale & right 5 things
1) the sight of my dog when he finally reappeared - little tyke had run all the way down the hill (while i stood at the top, shouting his name), over the road, down to our house then back up the road, over the road and back to the park, pursued by my neighbour's daughter and her two friends
2) the taste of sweet and sour, all the better for the veg being ys
3) the smell of Lush sleepy body lotion - i use it as hand cream before i go to sleep
4) the feel of my dogs snuggling up to me
5) the sound of the title music of Roadkill. Brilliant. Reminds me a bit of John Williams' Catch me if you canMrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025

I also love seeing the tiny wren rootling about under the hedge just outside my kitchen door.
Lovely walk with friend to one of our regular spots but turned left instead of right and discovered new Things: a walk through a beautiful wooded area and a weir amongst other things.
Spotted 2 muntjacs and 2 herons.
Bright, nearly full moon this evening.
Caught up with Great Canal Journeys on the River Lee and it started near to where we live and one of our walks 😊
Niece out of isolation tonight after testing positive and she hasn’t passed it onto her daughter or her mum and dad 😊
sleep tight all.14 -
That's great news about your niece PH. It's all so worrying.

1. Work was ok. Busy which is good it makes the time to quicker.
2. Chat with new colleague. She is finding it tough moving down here in September and not knowing anyone. She was due to go home last week on holiday but couldn't due to lockdown. She,I think, felt better after a chat and I will try and help her.
3. Work finished under the stair's all plastered and a cupboard being built today followed by new floor next week and stairs being refurbished the week after!;
4. Enjoyed cooking - shepherds pie. It was tasty and enough to freeze a couple of portions.
5. DS1 settling in well into his new flat.
We are in tier 3. I'm not surprised even if our numbers here aren't too high.13 -
For yesterday,
Blitzed downstairs including washing down skirting boards and windowsills.
Roasted a bag of peppers that were languishing in the fridge and made some spicy nuts & seeds as they are beloved’s fav snack.
Rode my pony, sunny but very cold and could see our breath, she was a little sweetheart and we had fun doing some pole work.
Driving home from the yard and seeing the mist lying low on the fields, very atmospheric and much like a John Carpenter film!
Bit of a throw it together tea as beloved had an evening zoom meeting so baked a potato and had some of the peppers plus spinach falafel, very tasty.13 -
That's lovely VL. Loneliness is awful.
to all, have a lovely day........

I has saved sum fish!
I has trawled the pages for them! Though is cheats from Newlyn!
Sweet and sour, roasted pepper Proper Dinner. Nuts, for eating with the wobbleade only!to the needy again!
This is Significant!
I nose, I said no before the weakened, butt was inn too the Docks, then round Glawster, then back home Got it? That is watt is really lick for BoP! Pay Day as well as we like wobbleade chits!
As I were at the Docks, I tuck BoPsie too her Salt Mine this morning! Now she is upset as she has to grind to the stone, work all hours and that and she only gots £100 more than her BoP, who is semi retied and part time! Mind you she foregets she has her shares, pension that she putts her dosh inn too!
Talk inn of investmenst, ISA gets flooded again this morning and all funds are now showering growth, which means that the funds for the BoP Tour are growing. Iffs I putts its away on day of pay, then it is gone! growing! That is why BoP is semi retired now and happy!
I has the fingers of fish for the dinner this evening, and has a flix sore ted out. It is Brief Encounter! As I said, it was mum BoP's favourite. Years back at Mums house, she used to has her fish and chip supper on FryDay night and watch the late movie on the tv things. I often crept inn, you could through the blue haze of her fags and the smell of her sherry, creep up and make her jump! Bit big now to creep through the hatch! Oh the proper fish and chips, not from Steels, butt just down from the Lifeboat, as was!
Now the corporation that is being corrected has had the letter sent! They has received it. Battle has commenced., BoP will be victorious. Got it. I also do parties if required! Rules of the BoP have been drawn in the sand!
Kitty is bee inn as stobbun as ever! I does not knows if she over did it on Tuesday with the mariners, but I has the nip. I has Catnip! We will try again tomorrow! Videos are not available! Butt she stis outside meowing at the closed flap! Hopeless stubbon B! (No i has to protect & from the pigs bar language! She is readied for the football tomorrow! #UTM #UTH
