1. Got to work ok with various sinkhole appearing and roadworks I thought the traffic would be terrible.
2. Saw some lovely people at work, one lady and her son in particular. Made the manic day better.
3. Stayed late so can leave earlier today. The last couple of hours when most had left was good.
4. No powercut unlike DS1 a few miles away but his powerful affected his mobile too.
5. Answered some questions on Only Connect.9 -
For yesterday,
Awake early so read my book for a while.
Stopped at the farm stall for some veg and had a chat with the owner, she’s had to put up cctv as too many nasty folk are taking without paying.
Sorted out my girlie’s foot and generally pampered, it was a sunny, autumnal day and my heart went out to her being stuck indoors, fingers crossed that can change soon.
Watched an interesting programme about the Celts and Boudicca in particular, my regions history.
Tea was a veggie special, stuffed mushrooms with roasted veg couscous.

Watched a film on Netflix last night, Band of Thieves. Recommended as it is very good, fiery fizzy waters and cheeses were consumed. Not recommended for & as it did have some rude words!

Hello. It’s been a beautiful day here and I’m glad I was off and able to enjoy it.Up early as that’s what my body clock said…it has not gone back an hour!Got two loads of washing out early, still a bit damp when they came in but glad they’d had fresh air on them.
Early morning chat to my sister. We are both early risers.Chat back and forth with DD1, she was at the beach as it was a public holiday. There’s so much I miss day in and day out of my old way of life but the heat ain’t one of them!Lovely doggy walk. Such a beautiful morning. Blue sky. A bit of warmth from sun. Dry. Birds singing. Beautiful leaves on trees and beautiful leaves to crunch through underfoot. All wrapped up in a thick fleece I got in a charity shop a couple of years ago for a pound!
Took mum out for lunch to one of our local castles. Met a couple I know so had a chat with them ( much to my mothers annoyance as it wasn’t all about her for 10 minutes!) It’s her birthday tomorrow but DD2 will be working so we all went out today, food was delicious as always.
Home and put Halloween away back in the various cupboards it goes in! Hoovered. Cleaned downstairs loo. Sorted out my flowers.Reading a book from huge pile friend dropped off the other day. I don’t read as much as I used to but getting my way through this one.Don’t need tea as we’d such a big lunch.And then all of a sudden it was dark again. But I’m in and don’t need to go out apart from a doggy walk later.9 -

Pleasures for yesterday and today:
Monday
1) Posted final Ebay parcels.
2) Hens OK.
3) Made a big cooked breakfast (for brunch).
4) Managed to get smaller son to the barbers. This caused an enormous meltdown which is still continuing, more than 24 hours later.
5) Went to the cinema by myself to watch James Bond as happy chat refused to come with me.
Today
1) Hens OK.
2) Was sworn at so many times I went out for the morning to look at the charity shops. Got 2 t shirts and a pair of trousers.
3) Had a cup of tea in Hereford and looked at the (relatively) new window in the cathedral.
4) Got house relatively clean and tidy.
5) Made kebabs for tea with halloumi.
6) Been watching television upstairs this evening - GBBO and Who do You Think You Are?

Frith - a lovely window. One of the best cathedrals I've seen for stained glass windows in in Clermont in France. First saw when we went for rugby.
1. Worked at different site - much better mentally but worse for my back but overall better.
2. Free lunch- sweet and sour veg with rice.
3. Left work still in the light. Traffic was good too.
4. Didn't do too much in the evening. Cooked cauliflower tikka. It was food.
5. Watched GBBO9 -
For yesterday,
Frosty start, the cold floorboards under my feet reminded me that I still haven’t replaced my bedside rug.
Quick food shop with a few rtc bargains.
We have moved onto a cold poultice for girlie’s foot, have become a dab hand at applying and she stands quietly enough, just a theatrical sigh now and again.
Small dog had a pamper and haircut.
Fish pie for tea then enjoyed GBBO.
