Thank you for the picture credit.  I only wish I was clever enough! It's Paulie Herts who not only takes beautiful photos but also makes them into a lovely collage. 

I also love Louise Penny.  Currently reading Glass Houses. Could be the best yet.

 Get well soon x

Hope you feel better soon Ampersand, your poor throat ☹️

For yesterday,

Busy morning, human, dog and bird food purchased. Small dog stands by me as I fill up her feed boxes and conducts quality control.

Over to see pony, she had been left in her heavy rug so was hot & grumpy. A cooling down, a good groom to get rid of itchy bits and left her in light fleece. 

Secured tickets to go and hear E Griffiths reading from her latest book at Ely cathedral.

Tea was a smoked mackerel pie, one of beloved’s favourites.

Uni Challenge and tested little grey cells.

Good morning

Thank you for the lovely pix, Paulie.

Yoga yesterday.  Shoulders know about it now!

Big( well, medium really) clean up this morning while DH out with his friend.  Just stopped for a half time cuppa

Picking the DGC up from school then out for tea.  Used to be fortnightly, but this is first time since mid November! A few hiccups recently!

Sat nav on car has died.  DD said you can pair your phone with your car until it's mended. Followed instructions from hand book and phone very carefully and somehow rang my cousin in Canada!!  DS always said I had the technical ability of a brush!  But it was nice to chat to my cousin!

Happy Tuesday everyone

DD Poor show on Tee Bags! One should never run out of tea!
Blue Flowers!

Soups!
Smoked mackerel!

This One is on Me!

Downloaded the gist cards for the T shop and cleared their shelves of things not in the Discount Surplus Stores! Toothbrushes were also purchased! DD Loose Tea was also purchased! Got some wobbelades as well!

Baggd it all up and putt away! Then settle to watch some Mike on train and other bits! Cheeses were taken. The Uni Challenge is on the box ready for later this weak, as the Mariners play tonight! So shush Ms LT, I don'ts need to knew the score!

Was off early to time the Albatross to her work, and timing! She would have taken my record, but for a car blocking her slip run off the rat run! Still there is always another day to have a go! She has burnt off all the fuel as well!

Then maid the misteak of herding to the T garage to fill up as kids being dropped off at skool! Butt, got there! Then too the discount surplus store for provisions. Got some strawbs again and special choc minted ice creams, egg custard tart with bacon and some treats. Food for Kitty was also removed from their shelf! Her Whiskas is £3.29 against £4.20 inn the boutique!

Took the wheels to the cart wash and she is glitzy again!

Now sat watching the SA cricket and me mug of tee, with easy peelers and sour grapes! Chcolate kitkat to come later!

Jen is doing her best!

Keep Tight!

Pleasures for today (Tuesday)

1) Not a bad sleep, once finally asleep.

2) Smaller son to college - hoorah! First time in a fortnight.

3) BSD continues.

4) Went to Waitrose for a cup of tea on the way to pick smaller son up.

5) Cheques arrived for sons from a great auntie who died last year (not my auntie, who also died in spring last year, but one on their father's side). Very good of her to include them in her will as she had children, grandchildren and about 50 nephews (and one niece!)

6) Went to get my hair cut then joined the other raven haired ladies at beards-no-more and had my eyebrows threaded too.

7) In bed already poised to watch Holby City.

Hello

Woke just before the alarm clock! Just in for an hour and home by 7am. Was a soggy doggy walk at 5.30am! 

Made porridge for DD2 and I had some crusty bread with marmalade.

Cleaned bathrooms, hoovered downstairs/upstairs, washed floors, optimistically hung out washing …then watched the rain roll back in! But it was just showery and a strong  enough breeze and a bit of sun now and again ( and even a beautiful rainbow) that it was mostly almost nearly less wet than when it went out! 😆! However an hour in the radiators and it’s all dried. 

Walked round to mums, thankfully dry each way. Met friend on way back ( we are catching up tomorrow so just a quick chatter then as we were chatting OH best friend stopped to say hello so I walked back round the road with him and had a catch up. And I felt like saying oh I’ll tell him I was talking to you! 

Potter pottered rest of afternoon. 

Dinner was very RTC ( 20p) chicken pies with leftover from work baked potatoes and parsnips from the never ending parsnip mountain, corn on cob…some sprouts! Yay! And a nice chat with just in from work DD2 all about her day. So far so good with new job. 

A chatter with my sister on the phone and a text back and forth with my aunt ( updating both of the mother who was in quite an agreeable mood today )

I’d bought RTC daffodils this morning so they are very cheery . My very favourite flower. 

A good day 😊

I often call a friend instead of messaging her to the extent she never answers me. If I want to speak to her I have to message her first!

1. Another day at work - enjoyed bus journey home like my own private taxi.

2. The last hour at work I was by myself and thought if it was like this all the time I could manage and enjoy work.

3. Butternut squash curry for tea. It was very tasty. DH enjoyed it so didn't mention it was vegan. He wouldn't have liked it then.

4. A glass of wine with the curry. 

5. DH had his new car. He is very excited as his first ever new car - it is an extremely good deal from his work but not classified as a company car.

For yesterday,

A bright and breezy day, washing dried on the line.

Morning visit to the yard, worked pony in the school and she was a good girl for her Mum, we were both warm when we finished ☺️

Driving home from the stables and a red kite flew across the road in front of my car, such big birds!

Few bits done in the garden, constantly interrupted by small dog with a tennis ball.

Hungry for tea, mushroom & lentil bake with roasted courgettes, rest of cherry pie for afters.
