Quick pleasures for today (Monday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Art club first thing. I did a watercolour of a lighthouse today.
3) Popped to Sainsbury's afterwards for cat milk.
4) Went to work 4-8. 3 colleagues got their redundancy papers today, so that was awkward.
5) Started watching Peep Show online.7 -
For yesterday,
After such a warm Sunday the drop in temperature was a bit of a shock, coat back on and into horsey town for a food shop.
There is blossom starting to appear in the hedgerows alongside roads.
At the yard, more tidying and preparing for move before fetching girlie in from her paddock and settling her for the evening.
Out out, so unusual for a Monday night but it was DN’s birthday and we were all meeting for a meal in cathedral city.
Family.7 -
Busby has been implanted!
This morning, after 13 years of service, Jenny was ripped out and replaced with Busby. He has started as he means to shock on!
Busby sends his regards to allBoPsie is recovering well!
On other things, it forcing hurts at the moment!

Welcome to the thread Busby ! Take care PPA busy day.
Collected a scone at garden centre en route …
Went to CP early and we had such a lovely walk. It was bright but cold but the bright was so nice. Did a bit more painting.
Had a chase ball kind of walk before we left.
Quick nip into supermarket on way home. Met friend, quick chat.
Home…with enough time to quickly eat lunch and then get changed out of painty clothes.
Hospital with DD2… we had an hour wait in a very warm waiting area…I just sit and people watch!And finally home and it was time for Tuesday Tea. Simplicity was required in the time scale so we had roasted baby potatoes, honey drizzled parsnips, broccoli, carrots and green beans with a mince round. Very yummy. And then a cream doughnut for pud. Much chatter and laughter!And then that quiet when everyone leaves and it’s just me and my doggy.Beautiful starry night with a big bright moon.8 -
