2) Hens OK.
3) Went to town with my brother to look round the charity shops. Didn't buy anything.
4) Tasty tea of pitta breads.
5) Bigger son popped back temporarily. His false tooth has fallen out again.
6) Looking forward to watching Repair Shop.11 -
Thanks for the kind comments about my photos 😊. I use an app called layout to make the collages.
Today’s photos are from a visit to the local lovely park as the sun was out this morning. I decided to shift myself as I was in a low mood and might have been tempted to stay in, watch tv and make cakes and eat them! It helped, the sunshine ☀️ and nature usually does.
Another load of washing dried on the line.
Left over beef casserole topped with sliced potatoes for dinner.
OH got called up to his mum and dads again as dad had fallen for the second time today and carer couldn’t put him to bed. This is becoming very frequent and they are now waiting for paramedics ☹️

Good morning
More lovely pix, Paulie. That sounds very worrying about FiL. I hope something can be sorted out.
Another bright day here. February has been very kind so far, with lots of sunshine to cheer us up
Teatime with DGC was good fun. Pizza, board games and giggles. DGD finished knitting the hat she started in October. Well, actually I did all but the last few rows over Christmas and then left it for her to finish off and sew up. She's very proud of it!
Nearly finished series 4 of Sinner on Netflix. Weird as ever but keeping watching to see how it turns out. And lovely scenery this time ( Cape Cod?)
Prawn stir fry last night. Very tasty and used up some bits of veg.
Watched University Challenge and actually answered a few questions ( at least six) and completed yesterday's crossword ( happens about ten times a year) . Feeling brainy!
Happy 🌞day everyone

Hello all - meant to be working so it's vital to procrastinate here 🤣
Pleasures for Tuesday
1. wipe on, wipe off, wipe on, wipe off - yes, i was waxing the newly painted wardrobe
2. Had a little trip out to buy more wax, to a local farm shop. Nice country drive for an hour
3. Back to back 'Mark Steel's in town'
4. Just me for tea - so I had a Parsnipship Glamorgan Crumble and roasted veg.
5. Had a bathy with some Mad Men
6. Defrosted the freezer - after about 6 years of not doing so! 😲
And yesterday
1. A boring webinar - the pleasure being it finished (and some No Sh't Sherlocks - "the section on knowledge and understanding is to test their knowledge and understanding'
2. Got up old carpet without too much bother (guess what a pleasure for today will be)
3. Lunch with the girls
4. a little bit of telly
5. Cinema with my girlie - House of Gucci. it was OK but I'm glad we have our Odeon Unlimited so didn't actually pay especially to go.
Laters all.I wanna be in the room where it happens12 -
VJsmum is the unlimited card worth it? Do you make a point of using it? I’d had a look and thought I might. Considering canceling my Prime membership as not really watching much on that.Another day of weather..which is now currently blooming cold! Clear sky and half a moon out and can already feel the big drop in temperature.Went back to local castle with DD2 this morning. On her day off and a chance to catch up. I’m a cheap date…only £2.00 for my roll and sliced sausage! And you get two pieces of slice…saves stinking my kitchen out cooking it. Stunning drive up to the castle and the grass is bedecked with snowdrops.Home and potter potter. Watched ‘This Is Going to Hurt’ read the book a few years ago.Down to far end of town for mammogram. So went to l!dl afterwards, with DD2 shoving stuff in the trolley left right and centre so I just separated her stuff at the till, paid for ‘our’ stuff and she paid for hers.11
