16 days mhags ouch was that due to still testing +Ve on lfd? I'm not entirely sure what happens next...
1) another day 'on retreat' - had (and still have) earache - no idea if that's part of the covid or a double whamy but at least I have a good excuse to keep in the warm
2) used the other half of the ham stock to make a fab tomato, chilli and red lentil soup - had a bowl for lunch (another cooked brekkie admiral but keeping the sausages for dinner)
3) gbf walking the dogs - they're now snoring on their cushion (the dogs not gbf)
4) my online gym - was cardio abs today
5) watching father brown on catch-up with dd2 then we'll watch death in paradise then an early night

Pleasures for today (Friday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Bigger son still testing - despite 4 colleagues being + now.

3) Did a load of washing, cleaned the bathroom, tidied and swept the garden.

4) Hens OK.

5) A miserable morning of teenage/slightly older than teenage horrors. Bigger son was annoyed with me because he got something in his eye whilst working in his shed yesterday (obviously my fault!) So he stropped around this morning then announced he was leaving and drove off. Smaller son and I had planned an afternoon out so I went upstairs to ask him something and was ignored. Stood there for a while and he said, "Why are you still here?" Well, 99 times out of 100 I would have recovered from rude boys but I drove off today. Went to local shopping centre and had my hair cut then had a proper look round the shops, which is rare. Also had a fish finger sandwich in M and S cafe.

6) Our football team was on Midlands Today (another FA Cup match tomorrow) and will be on Football Focus. It is the one match that isn't being shown live, goodness knows why not. 

7) Made some parkin.

8) I've just spent an hour learning how to use Alexa. Smaller son has one too so I have worked out how to use it as an intercom...

Thanks ,DH really enjoyed them with me ,I now record them and watch later ,they are v gentle

Very different to the original G.K Chesterton novels which I read many years ago and recently loaded onto my Kindle ,they’ve even changed the location from E Anglia to the ,I think,Cotswolds ( keep expecting to see Insp Barnaby !) 
but v enjoyable.

SS - definitely the Cotswolds as we recognise a lot of the locations. I chanced upon an episode the other day which was set in Broadway Tower.

We visited the church / presbytery location for FB when holidaying in the Cotswolds a few years ago, Blockley if my memory serves.

For yesterday,

A better nights sleep so woke up refreshed.

Busy morning with errands, dog and horse feed shopped for plus picked up a big bag of bird seed as they are rattling through it now the temperatures have dropped.

Over to see pony, steady schooling session then she munched on her hay while I sorted through her feed etc. Chat with livery pal. 

Easy tea of baked spuds with cheesey beans.

We caught up on a couple of seasonal Only Connect’s and answered a decent amount of questions.
