Hello there.  I thought I'd lost everyone.  We'd slipped down to page 2. 

Lainey - caught up on The Boss programme yesterday.  Really enjoyed it, even though he did seem to get lost in the middle of his own sentences at times!

Went to take our bedding, coats etc for Ukrainian refugees to our local collection point, a gym. They took ours but said they are really struggling as they are running out of space to store all the donations.  They are being transferred to a central point daily, but already, at 10:30 am the gym was overwhelmed. Which is wonderful news really! People clearly want to do what they can to help.

Went for a walk and a coffee then and now home thinking what to do next.  Will make a rice pudding while I think.

Happy Monday everyone

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs Admiral.

1 Nothing with the council “works well” further to MSE advice I wanted to set up a direct debit for the council tax energy thing, but online didn’t work at all, phoning meant I had to print off the form and send it in, still all done.

2 I was up early for a hospital appointment that was a phone call, but they cancelled as the consultant has tested positive.

3 Took Dh out for lunch at the Range, we then got a few bits and bobs via the usual cheap shops, but a noticeable amount missing.

4 A slice of Costco pizza for tea, and the remainder pizza snaffled to the freezer.

5 Animals all fed and happy with extra portions of warm gunk they all love.

Pleasures for today (Monday)

1) Not a bad sleep.

2) Bigger son reappeared as he wanted to make something in his shed.

3) Hens OK.

4) Smaller son and I popped to Ludlow briefly.

5) Pittas for tea.

6) It has just taken me about an hour to get the geocaching app working properly (as I didn't pay for the full app during lockdown but will need it when we go on holiday next weekend). 

7) Watched Holby.

1. The drive to work felt Spring like. It was a good start to the day.

2. The colleagues I like were working so made the day bearable. My line manager kept out of my way. Someone else has handed their notice in too.

3. Free lunch. 

4. Daffodils in a vase.

5. Easy tea of leftovers.

Had this ready last night and it wouldn't post.
Have somehow saved it to calendar - I think  - all else having disappeared.

' Congratulations on 3.5 decades together, Admiral.

1.Safely back and toasty toes after International Women’s Week fundraising Fitness/Workout Event in the pouring rain at rugby club.  & somehow had assumed there'd be 100 or so participants.  No.  Fifteen.  & easily the eldest by +5 decades!...and survived, if soaked.😁

"Break The Bias!"

2. Remarkable reading of the new botw just now.  The voice of Raad Rawi is perfection, of a type little heard and we are in Algiers, completely there and &'s Mediterranean hunger and longings and old life surge back....to no immediate avail.

3. A few more potatoes dug, one a most perfect red oval which fit and filled &'s hand.  Also potted up a sprouting walnut, spotted while faffing about fence repairing.  Meantime, 1 rhubarb's not far off picking!

4. First 3 bits of weekly preview sorted.

5. A savoury use-up concoction in béchamel sauce is lush - broccoli, mushrooms, bacon, grilled sausage, grilled tomato.
Safe sleeps and manageable days to all.'
