The Admiral will now interrupt for those reading DD's verse!
The Hatters (Luton Town) won a game of Football in Blackpool. This caused Ms DD to go out and be merry!
Jen has a Buzz for DfV.
Blackberry and nettle flavoured fiery water? What is the world becoming.
Skool Nite.
Eggs at last!
Ice Cream. Proper Food!

Now it is my turn!

Trouble at the Theatre of Fish! End Of!

Had the flatbread last evening for supper, served with some delicious cheeses and fiery fizzy waters were taken! We watched a show by Jethro on the box, free of course as the bank pays for it. Rule of the Admiral. Better in my pocket than theirs!

Was up early and had the bangers and best back, with toms and mushrooms. Splashed up with some creamy scramble eggs! Tea was also taken!

The out with hammer and chisel to remove, forcefully, the tiles from the wc. All now set to reseat the thing, change the cistern and retile this week! News on this follows all week!

Now with me mug, chicken poodle soup and a nice ham bun! Trifle is being taken. Then I has to make the cottage pie for dinner, will be served with proper pan gravy! Some shall be left for tomorrow!

Jen sends her Buz.

Keep Safe!

#WHAMGEDDEN Day 5. Still in the game!

Sorry for your loss DFV but glad to hear your colleagues and family are looking after you. Quince jelly is the best! x

For today:

1. DD2 and her partner have found a house to buy (they've been renting.) Looks nice and it's an hour nearer us.
2. Bought grandson a sensory toy off Bay of E for a lot less than its original (very costly) price. When DD2 rang to complain someone had beaten her to it on the item, I was able to tell her it was me!
3. Other three daughters came for Sunday lunch.
4. Stretched a £3 pheasant between five of us as a casserole with loads of celery, a big dish of leeks and marrow in cheese sauce, plus a tray of oven French fries. The marrow was 2 for £1.25 at the local farm shop.
5. In bed exhausted with hwb listening to the wind outside.

Peaceful Sunday evening everyone!

And my working week is over! Hurrah! Another holiday day tomorrow! Yaaaas! 

Anyway, rubbish sleep, then the alarm went off ( several times, I kept pressing snooze & I actually do snooze in between) then decided enough was enough and I actually had to get up.

Nice walk with doggy, we went for the less is more school of thought…less to walk but more to sniff. It was still very dark so I didn’t want to wander too far and he was happy to sniff! Lots of crunchy grass and sparkling leaves as it was such a heavy frost and a star filled sky. 

Walked to work as heavy frost on car meant I was just as quick walking rather than waiting to defrost.

Busy shift. 

Great tips. In the jam jar.

Still to do hot shower and jammies as we’ve just been out to collect a ‘too good to go’ bag. Quite pleased with contents. ( especially the empire biscuits) 

Having a mince round, the remains of a bag of frozen chips and frozen hash browns ( I will clear that freezer!) and veggies. Including sprouts! 

Then it will be an early night methinks, tucked up in a cosy bed! Blooming freezing outside. 

Had a nice chat with friend! We caught up on our ‘night out ‘ news as we were both out last night. 

 

Frith

Sorry to hear about your colleague, DfV. Quince are strange things (parents have a tree) so we stew them with apple for pies.

Pleasures for today (Sunday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Hens OK and an egg! 3 in 2 days.

3) Bigger son popped in. 

4) Smaller son and I had a cooked breakfast.

5) Football! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001294w/the-fa-cup-202122-secondround-highlights
Usually we pop up on photographs and clips (being quite tall) but you can't quite see us, from 1 - 4 minutes of this programme.

The one minute round of applause before the game with 4,500 people singing, "We love you, Arthur, we do" just about finished me and I had composed myself then the first goal was scored 2 minutes in! 

6) Picked up a Chinese takeaway on the way home.

7) Phoned my school friend.

8) Watched I'm a Celebrity.

1. Decorating done. It's been over a year. We need to wait for some furniture coming on Friday then it will be properly finished.

2. Drawing curtains - the new ones are all up and we have been about 9 months without 3 lots of curtains up.

3. DS1 setting us up with his Netflix account.

4. Some time spent in the garden. Needed the fresh air after doing some painting.

5. Quiet evening watching a Christmas film with candles lit.

That brought a lump to my throat Frith.
For yesterday,

Was a bit late before either of us stirred, hurried downstairs at 7.30 but needn’t have worried as small dog was still snoozing in her basket too.

Bacon butties and catching up on all things Ambridge.

Got a beef stew in the oven then had a lovely, long bath with lots of products thrown in it!

Long walk after lunch, tennis balls were thrown for small dog and it’s funny to see her hunting them in amongst the leaves.

Late dessert of apple & plum crumble, bit of tv watching and reading.

1) very good session over coffee in church - 2 externals talked us through thinking about what we as individuals like doing, and what we would enjoy doing with others - first board I got to was arts and crafts, I ticked nothing; 2nd board was music, phew - intrigued that the driving one had 'drive a tractor' listed
2) a cuppa with mum after at Queens Hotel - nice chat
3) afternoon first walk round back of Balgay since Storm Arwen - 6 bit trees down, no chance for anyone wanting to drive up to the Observatory
4) Leicester game (sadly not as good result as the Luton one Admiral) Dr M is still in Canada so thought I'd be watching it on my own but joined by a couple of friends (one had been to see Dundee Utd lose 3 -1)
5) then very nice chat with one of Dr M's friends

Celery Leeks!
Apples and Plums!
Bacon Banjo!
VL You're out BAH HUMBUG!
An Egg!
Curtains drawn.

That is Nice!

Cottage pie was very good last night for dinner, with fresh cauliflower and broccoli in a rich pan gravy as well!

Bog Off, the wall that is as the update to the heads continues! Need to get new panel. News on this later!

Had my golden flakes of corn this morning, so that has put me good for the day ahead!

Just got myself a mug of tea. The Albatross is home all week so no land speed record attempt! She has made a mess of the poot! On #WHAMGEDDON, she is out!

Jen sends her Buzz!

Keep Safe!

#WHAMGEDDON Day 6 Still in the game!

Bedtime! 

Day off work.

went to local castle for breakfast. 

Came home and lit the fire. Then ordered logs which are coming tomorrow. Ya know…when the heavy snow is forecast! 

Went a big doggy walk. Thankfully just in before the very heavy rain came back on. 

Had cooked diced beef in the slow cooker to make a steak pie. Used up frozen carrots and the last of a bag of sweet corn…I can see space in the freezer! ( also had sprouts) dinner for one though as DD2 was out. 

Hoovered upstairs and downstairs.

Sorted through a pile of costume jewellery necklaces. A few to go in my charity bag. 

Chats with the boy child. He moves out first flat tomorrow and into a new one at end of week. 

Texts and photos from DD1 who’d been wilderness hiking over the weekend so I was glad she was safe! Lovely photos.
