oh and a quick extra - a friend whose darling baby girl was born sleeping last year has just given birth to a beautiful boy. i am soooo happy for them as you can imagine. right, bed, tis a school night!
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.
Lots of sunshine, the beech trees were blazing orange.
As always, time spent with the beautiful grey one.
Had a letter from an insurance company re a claim made several years ago, due to processing error I was due a small refund, lots of money has been flowing out lately so good for a little to flow back in!
Feta and pepper frittata for tea.
Watched and enjoyed the GBBO final, happy with the winner.
Congratulations Dr VJ. Bet you looked a right bobby dazzler!
Paulie H - thank you for the beautiful pix
PK - your prize sounds like very hard work, but I'm sure your bank balance will thank you.
D Doll - excellent news. New babies always are
I wish I liked soup! Everyone else seems to but I just don't get on with it. It doesn't seem like proper food to me! But I often feel tempted when I see/ read about your soups. Then I remember.......
Things are getting sorted here so life is settling back down. Enforced sorting and tidying of clothes. Not necessarily a bad thing.
DH, as we speak, is putting up PIR lights in the garden. Alarm being fitted Monday. I know, stable doors! But we have learnt from our mistakes😂 New car keys have to come from Germany so we are carless for a while but no worries. Lockdowns have prepared us for this!
Good job we had the squeeze ball nearby last night DD! Frith Floody Good! and hens! Sausage and Cabbage! Bangers and Parsnips! VJ a Bobby Dazzler! Croisants! LT Manna is coming! DD That deserves a Jen Buzz!
Rocks have been hit!
Went to the gym to trim ready for the beach soon! Then had mini home pizza bits, toast with cheese on in other words! As I had been to the discount surplus store, we had some raspberries and ice cream!
We settled down snugged up on sofa last evening to listen to the mariners and the bbc managed to pull the plug, hence squeeze ball required! Lucky someone on the twitter thing hooked up in his car and we had some coverage! Carp is all I can say! Red buttoned the hatters and ... Fiery fizzy waters were taken, and cheeses consumed!
Let the Albatross off to her work this morning and no news on whether she had beaten my new land speed record. Obviously not as she has not mentioned it! I put some chocolate in her lunch box!
Swept up ready for tree day, and Kitty was not amused as her bowls of fresh fish things were put on the side! She is now settled as she had her treats as well!
Just having me mug of tea and some chocolate and a seal bar!
pleasures for yesterday 1. workety work worked. Tutorials went ok given that i couldn't tell them much 2. more ''this is us'' 3. cooked a lovely potato bacon spinach cheesy bake thing 4. Who do you think you are 5. got my great grandparents marriage certificate to aid in the family tree climbing.
Still woke up early but better me waking up and taking my time than the alarm waking me up and having to be out early.
Massage of the ouchy kind ( though actually not too ouchy today) was needed though.
Then a quick doggy walk then round to mums. HUGE sighs! The kitchen is the bane of my life! I clean. She makes it messy. I clean. It’s a horrible hamster wheel of doom!
Home via supermarket. Got a few Christmassy bits to put away.
Home and quick doggy walk. Then just pottered around catching up on TV as I potter.
Pasta for tea with corn on the cob ( and sprouts and peas) trying to reduce stuff in freezer! Nice chatter with DD2 over dinner.
Remembered to activate the warranty on my new car. Phew! Had to be done by today.
Went to Chatsworth at Christmas yesterday, really lovely. Bought a couple of presents in the Christmas 🎄 market and gift shop. Hog roast rolls and mulled wine 🍷 in the market for lunch. Local pies and sausages for dinner tonight followed by mince pie 🥧 and cream and a Baileys 😋 Watched the final episode of Shetland ☹️
Thanks all for your kind thoughts on friend's beautiful son paulie chatsworth looks fab 1) early wake-up call courtesy of city council depositing 2 steam rollers and other heavy machinery to resurface side road up from me - watched them unload then back to cosy bed 2) proper wake up, breakfast then lovely phd meeting with student finally back from Saudi - note to self, make next one f2f so long as she's comfortable (and of course my LFTs are still -ve) 3) after 3rd meeting of the day trotted down the road to get my booster and flu - opted for same arm having consulted my boss (who is also a gp) - all done in 30 minutes including 15 minute sit with good book 4) then happened to bump into mum - she was in town dropping off cookery books to the Oxfam book shop - we went to fisher donaldson and i had a latte and donut for being such a brave girl ;-) 5) footie with Dr M and Mr G, also joined by 2 other friends and one i haven't met before - brother of one who wasn't there - tomorrow is Leicester but Dr M is off to Canada for 2 weeks Saturday so not sure if he'll make it
