Morning from the early train.   On my way to Kent to see my favourite nephew for breakfast.   He has to go back to Australia soon and his mum (who is here) has just had all treatment stopped for her lung cancer so it is just a matter of time.  

Anyhow pleasures for yesterday 

1. Went back to the pictures to see in the heights again.   Still fabulous 
2. Finished my book - Bill Bryson, Down Under
3. Walked to the shop in the morning 
4. Veggie parcel with roasty trimmings  for dinner.
5. Watched 2 episodes of the fall

Have a great day all

For yesterday,

Eating breakfast and watching Percy the pigeon take building materials into the hedge, repairs maybe but come on Perc, we need to cut that hedge!

Long hot bath and reading my book, it’s about Eleanor of Aquitaine and her life, interesting lady.

Roast chicken dinner followed by an afternoon nap.

Lovely walk around the fields, so many wildflowers and hedges in bloom. A memory popped up on my FB page of my honeysuckle in full flower, it’s only just budding up this year so we are at least 3 weeks behind still.

Watched the Belgian v Portugal match.

1) Making bread and the smell of it cooking.

2) The runner and french beans in the garden are flowering and we're cutting the courgette in a pot on the patio it's giving us a couple of decent sized courgettes every 4 or so days.

3) OH brought me back rhubarb from the plot and I made us a good sized crumble but had some left over so I made rhubarb cordial with it, lovely and fresh tasting and a soft baby pink in colour.

4) A decent night's sleep because I changed back to a 4.5 tog quilt from the 2.5 one I put on when it was hot a couple of weeks ago...must have been getting cold that kept waking me in the early hours, nice to wake up not tired!

5) OH had to go to the Post office to send an abroad letter and popped into the bakery on his way home and got cake!

1. Returning Hello to all, on this, which calls itself an English Summer day😁 with large windscreen drops.


2. Writing this after early start Food Hub run.  Away from &squat, so there's half a chance this one will work, which definitely =s an osp.🙂

3. Rugby Club AGM on Saturday in (mostly)sunshine outside -


4. NZ friends are in last days of back home quarantine now. F. posts 1 droll pic+caption per day. They are being marvellously fed/watered/lodged/tested in Hamilton hotel and will be heading back to Napier in 3 days' time.  

5. Headed to The Alma for that fantastic final, v.l., in a bit of Soddit, Whynot-ery? Unbelievable twists and turns. Liked seeing young Louis Lynagh and spotted Dad in stand.  Amazed, as always, by so many greetings and  'Come Here &! Sit With Us!'-es.  It was a fabulous few hours.  As always, &'s Thermos of black green tea serves as &'s Madame Sensible.  'My licence is my lifeline', as I rptdly say.

It was a final and a half wasn't it Ampersand, I didn't mind who won but Harlequins played themselves 110% and as you say Louis Lynagh played his little socks off, brilliant stuff!

I didn't mind either, Boazu, but felt a Yes!❤, remembering a Twickenham match I went to when Quins lost - old Pilkington Cup days, long ago.

Good afternoon

DfV - good to see you again. These awful shock ' rememberings' keep sneaking up on you, don't they. Hopefully they may become more bearable.

Ampersand - good to see you too, despite yr rotten weather.

Yesterday

Some good news.DDiL proper test was negative, like the three LF tests. So she just had a bad cold/cough. Still has actually but at least that's all it is.

That also meant DGC could come for lunch and a play, and some more French homework! With new-to-me French words like le bowling and le skateboarding!

Then to DD for DH to install a watering system. Their garden is like beach sand and dries out really quickly.(ours, less than 2 miles away, is solid clay!).

So, a busy day, by our standards, but always good to see everyone you care about on one day and know that they are ok.

And today

Yoga cancelled, again, so coffee and cake with yoga friend instead.

Making Provencal fish for tea. It's all that French homework affecting me!

And now it's raining.

Happy Monday everyone

Bedtime! Late for me.

Up early for work. 

Amazing walk over the fields. Just us and the birds. How I like it.
Loads to do at work. Trying to sort out rotas ( doing my head in!) Much better tips! 

Home , quick shower and then we went to park, ate some chips for our tea, walked round the park from top to bottom, admired the 6 cygnets and was able to reliably inform that the  baby coots are called cooties! 

Popped into friends to pick something up. Then onto boss’ to drop something off . Much chatter. GN is very sociable. 

Then we went a quick walk over the fields and the sky was phenomenal! The colours were stunning. 

DD2 and GN are watching a Disney movie. 

That’ll just be me that’s up in less than 6 hours!!

another epic post dfv see below to see how I got on with my 5k today
1) xoh walked me to work- 2nd time I’ve been in this year!
2) a parcel had arrived for me - a very tasty negroni which I saved for when I watched the last set of the Murray game ( a lovely Christmas present from a lovely colleague)
3) xoh met me from work and we walked home reminiscing about silly things - not sure ive entirely got the hang of this being divorce day business🤣
4) went for my 5k - just over 4K in almost ran into dr no waiting for a bus. I Told him he was the perfect excuse for me to stop running. Stopped for a short chat no sign of the bus so he decidedly to walk. Which goes past the end of my road. When I got home I found my 5k time was still under 35 minutes so very happy
5) after the Murray game ET of the france game then penalties. And an invite to watch the first quarter final Friday with my other footie mates
