2) Our Ruby Wedding on Saturday and we drove down to DD2 for a lovely meal out on a moored barge, lovely food, lovely family, happy me.

3) Snow overnight, some 10cms+ of it and a fabulous snowball fight this morning with DD1, James and his two lads, Oh I do love a good snowball fight!

4) Driving home after lunch on clear roads running well and with no hold ups.

5) Lighting the stove which I'd laid up before we left on Friday as we goy home, putting on the kettle which I'd filled up on Friday before we left and having a cuppa in my armchair in the warm.

1 Sunday brekkie means grilled bacon, and it was delicious.
2 Things sold on the bay and more things written up for listing when an offer comes along.
3 Bird seed put out for the many hungry birds a delight to see and be able.
4 I!!!8217;ve been craving a burger, so I made one from turkey mince and cous cous, and it was very passable, and can only be served with little cheese and salad preferably all piled up on top of it.
5 I have today booked onto a fitness course.

Frith

Brrrr! Pleasures for today.


1) A lie in.


2) 4th and hopefully final major snow of this winter. 15cm today but the wind again making drifts of up to 30cm. The road has been clear on and off but I didn't drive anywhere.


3) Hens well and we took warm water and fed them in their pen.


4) Listened to the Archers.


5) Bigger son wanted to do lots of cooking today so he made porridge for breakfast, then made a sandwich loaf. Baked beans on toast for lunch. He also made the chicken casserole we had for tea.


6) Played cards after lunch by the stove.


7) Have ordered a new fireguard after finally chucking out our old and collapsing one (after 15 years of propping it up!)


8) Have been watching programmes on the laptop in bed.

Hi folks,

Purple kitten, fitness course :eek: I should really do something like that but not yet prepared to make the time available

Sunday pleasures

1. Waking up to a light dusting of snow - makes the world look very pretty!

2. DH sorting his own lunch - cheese & crackers!

3. DH enjoying watching the MotoGP races on his computer - I usually watch with him but didn’t feel in the mood. I have recorded all the races which means I can fast forward through all the boring chat which my DH loves

4. Have started on my next decluttering project - all the drinking glasses in the house & deep cleaning the glass fronted areas of my large wall unit. I absolutely love washing glasses. (Nice memories as most of them were gifts from the cricket team I used to do the scoring for )

5. Now have two dozen glasses for the cs - just need to work out how to pack them for delivery

6. More snow but still only a light dusting:)

7. Hm Stilton & potato soup with hm Stilton & bacon scones & hm Focaccia croutons. DELICIOUS :drool:

8. Watching the new series of The Good Karma Hospital.

9. Reading your pleasures

Good night & sleep well everyone.

MrsSD thank you for the reminder about the Good Karma Hospital. Watched !!!! and Angel at the Chateau last night.......

DfV DS2 thought they would have to stay over another night, but eventually set off later and arrived home at 3pm, with a bronze medal. (Forgot to ask if they had marched a path in front of the minibus).

Yesterday

1. Snow looked beautiful.

2. Watsapping DD through the day. She is still having fun, despite events with her manager. :eek: He is going home. Clearly not well.

3. Few things on EBay. Then decided to sort the bags of stuff left behind by DS1 ex girlfriend.........2 hrs later. I have a pile for CS, a pile for EBay, and 2 bags of washing before sending to CS :eek: I also have a pile for trying on, as there could be a few potential work shirts. However, how will DS1 feel about me wearing them?

4. Trip to coffee shop with chums, as a break from de cluttering. DH has been painting the dining room, and deserved a rest. :rotfl:

5. Roast dinner for tea, with jam roll poly and custard for afters. Everyone ate it.

6. New hens settling in well. I think they must be barn hens...... They do not understand inside-outside yet, so just stand around in the snow. Had to put them in the nest box again last night. :rotfl: Had 3 eggs yesterday, but speckled one has gone on strike. :rotfl:

Have a lovely day

Good morning. Loving the light in the morning.

Went to bed very early ( even by my standards) last night.

Yesterday we went to our first ever ice hockey match.

We had steak pie , roast potatoes & parsnips carrots & sprouts...and may have had ice cream to follow.

It's been bright but the coldest of winds that cut through & the tiniest of flurries of snow that doesn't lie. Mainly just cold!

villagelife

1. Light dusting of snow and looks very pretty.

2. Went to buy some light fittings and found some we both liked.

3. DS1came for lunch which was lovely. His girlfriend didn't feel up to coming. Had a talk about various things and touched on finances etc which he normally won't talk about so a constructive day.

4. DS2 cooked lunch. Roast beef and all the trimmings. It was delicious and was followed by apple crumble and custard.

5. Lazy evening reading my book.

By reading this post; BoP will garner knowledge so crucial to your own existence, you will not be able to put the kettle on without thinking about whether someone has notice you are doing so? I could all start innocently with your first pets name and end up being your password giveaway!

5 Oh dear, Ant and Wreck! Unfortunately BoP has no clue as to what he does, but I fear he has been nicked for something! Unlike BoP, who is a roll model for good food, obviously he is not! Avoid. BoP herd this on wireless thingy early today, vie LBC. Very good with Mr Allen in the morning. When events like this happen, BoP has a message that he repeats in rhyme to his followers. This one caused a song of What a Smoking Bar Steward! Or words to that effect! Currently this is oft repeated on Saturday afternoons!

4 While I hark on again about BoP being a roll model, yet again in Palais de BoP we had a choice brekfest this very day. Like it or lump it! Proper toast, buttered with marmite and two poached eggs. There, go to work on an egg or two. Proper foods and good for you! Eggs splashed into a pan of boiling water, none of that silicon plastic floater thing. And perfect. Tum actively rubbed at the mill. Now as you are aware, BoP can shave and scratch his parts, ash with flannel in shower, put on his Y’ fronts, fill his lunch box, feed Raffles, and get all this ready while BoPsie showers and does her hair and the like!

3 Lower loo is painted and readied by BoPise. All wes needs is the floor now and all done afore Easter! Now on good fryday we can watch the others go and rush the wall paper, laminated floors, and other things! We will be having a Dog Burger inn the carpark as well.

2 Nite for Tea BoP will be warming up the chicken and mushroom pie from yesterday. A perfect filling for any tum!

Next time you imagine how you could look on the cover, just remember the click you gave your all, yet like Cinderella, you cannot leave the ball? Interesting articles in the papers about Buck of face again. Not just old media upset at the new media though?

Yes, & I sometimes read the Grauniad!
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/17/data-war-whistleblower-christopher-wylie-faceook-nix-bannon-trump

Other sauces are available. Yet one interest it does not beat the power of some old media. For that, I was inn S on satday, and was amazed at their corporate sponsorship of some sport event! Wander about the sheople who get fleeced their, knowing that John gets ten times as much as Martina!

Then again I would pay again to see John!

There, yous now have the full facts again about the Life of BoP, and you can put it into contestx and data harvest it for your own ill gotten needs and excesses! Meanwhile, I have fires to keep burning!
