For yesterday 

Small dog was due her annual jabs so loaded her into the car and off we went, she charmed the young vet who cleverly popped a couple of treats on the table and in went the needle while she was distracted.

Handed over my parking ticket as had only used 20 mins of the minimum 3 hours that you have to buy.

Chicken and lentil soup for lunch.

Foul afternoon weather wise so sorted out a cupboard and now have a few bits for the CS.

Salmon for tea, with fennel and LO cauli cheese.

Good afternoon.  Blowy again!

Ampersand - think I'm following you.  Reading Kingdom of the Blind at the moment.  Actually reading Gamache series in order.  And about to begin The Sleeping and the Dead!.  You'll be a real bobby dazzler with that bag!

D Doll - did Dr M acknowledge the Valentine?

Having a quiet couple of days isolating and keeping calm ( mostly)

Made a sort of lentil soup yesterday but left it in the slow cooker too long so it's now dhal!  Very tasty though.

My replacement jewellery arrived ( following the burglary) . It's beautiful and very sparkly!.

Finished The Sinner.  Was a lot easier to follow than series 3. Enjoyed it.  Now started the new Reacher series.  Ok so far.

DD came to borrow our suitcase and say hello to DH, from a safe distance!

Fish in white sauce for tea.  Keeping to 'safe' foods for now !

Happy Wednesday everyone

A huge thank you to ampersand for introducing me to the Spooky Men's Chorale. Love their versions of Dancing Queen and Boogie Wonderland.

Thankful for Storm Dudley being out there and not in here.

Nibbling the last of the cinnamon streusel cake I made the other day, a success.

 Being able to book to have my cavity wall insulation renewed and my loft insulation topped up at no cost to me whatever. The work will take place in two weeks time.

This morning I finally spotted the little clump of crocus plants in the garden. They're a bit late this year, I thought they'd died.

The delight on the dog's face on her return from her weekly five hour walk with the dog walker.

My son discovering the pleasure of using the Furminator comb on our hairy ginger cat. The cat loves it and you can get nearly enough fur off to make another cat.

Just finished two satisfying night shifts at work but now have 9 days off till my next shift.

Pleasures for today (Wednesday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Smaller son went to college!

3) Hens OK.

4) Did preparations before possible power cut so 2 loads of washing are drying, a tank of water has been heated and the heating is on...

5) Spent the afternoon sorting through (throwing away) paperwork. 

6) Mum and dad went to the talk at Hereford Cathedral and I was sent a picture of a sign pushed into the grass outside where they had been allocated a parking space! They had free tickets, after dad gave a bit of info towards the talk.

7) In bed with 1hwb as the storm is ridiculous. I fed the cat earlier and when I came back into the house, I couldn't get the door shut as the wind was too strong!

Nargle and admiral, everyone!

Was up at Inchyra 2 years ago for this phantabuloso Bohemian Rhapsody, bluegrass style:

1. Big day not entirely done, but reasonably so.  Too late now to use the special fence-securing 100mm double twist screws from Mackays.  Will it still be up in morning?  Wind is roaring.  On verra.  

2. Town of Horse for optician's check-up, terrific as always.  & had managed to leave her lunettes behind😚🙄.  Never mind.  Vision fine, thanks to them sending & immediately to Addenbrookes some years ago.  & owes them so much and never forgets.  They were also 1st class straight after with one of &'s marginal peeps.

3. Registering for this:

4.  Beautiful moon, lovely hwb.

5.  Goodness moi, &!  Have you really scoffed more than one of these......?  Très méchant, trop lish!  Fatal discovery -

Well done on being so disciplined with your reading, happycas.  & coined a little thing back in full uni and academic days - 'If you don't keep up, you never catch up.'   But redefining 'essential' means that can vary, too.😉

Good morning! My charger is not charging as efficiently as it was though still does so I’m not rushing out to buy a new one quite yet! So last night my iPad was flat! Anyway it’s charged a bit overnight so here I am. Up with a vomiting doggy at 5am. Sigh! He’s lying in the sofa and I’m back in bed with a soggy pyjama trouser leg …just been out to put the bin out ( fingers crossed it doesn’t blow away) and got a bit soggy in the process but only on one leg! 

Yesterday was a day of so much weather. Mainly of the very wet. Very windy. Very wild kind. Currently lashing with rain/hail, battering against the back of the house. Blowing through the gaps in windows that replacements  have been ordered but will be another few weeks yet! 

Anyway I’d to take DD2 to dentist so I went to bank and deposited tips and transferred in to my savings account. 

Then we had to go to a training centre at a hospital in a nearby ( ish) town…now you’ll know how  much I relish driving but I did it. She thought she’d be 15 minutes tops as she was just handing in forms…2 hours! 2 blooming hours! I watched Holby,  Eastenders and then listened to the radio! Then we had to get out at supermarket I’d stiffened up! Not used to being in that position for so long! 

I’m trying not to use that supermarket ( for no other reason than it’s expensive and I’m trying to be savvy and save at the moment) however i did have vouchers and it was things I’d use so we popped in…again DD2 plonking stuff in the trolley and me carefully putting the Next Customer Please sign between our stuff! 

Glad to be home before the worst of the weather! Waaah at the rain! Managed to time doggy walks between the showers.
