    For yesterday,

    A chilly walk with C dog first thing, think we were both grateful to get back to a warm house.

    Bacon butties and catching up on all things Ambridge.

    Trip out to the local pet store to get a waterproof coat for our pal, unlike my choccie lab she hates getting wet and several times last week she did a mad dash outside for a very quick wee! We obviously took her to try things on and she met several friendly dogs including a Goldenpoo who was just about the prettiest dog I’ve ever seen. C dog tried a few free food samples and generally had a fine old time.

    Made a cake, same one as Amps shared a few weeks back, a quick fruit one that used mincemeat, very yum.

    Paul, Bob and Ted, such a gentle but funny finish to the weekend.

    Morning all.

    Happycas - you made me laugh, I spent a year being older than I actually was so the next birthday when I 'stayed the same' was a lovely surprise! I'm ok with the birthdays with a 0 or even a 5 in them but get a bit jumbled with the ones inbetween. Bit like I'm ok with Monday and Friday but the days in between can sort of blur together. Some fabulous gardens in Cornwall - Trebah and Trelissick among our favourites, you'll have a lovely trip.

    Recent pleasures:

    1) Lovely sunshine for us but really feel for those affected by the terrible floods.

    2) Had a lovely steady away sort of weekend, didn't go anywhere or do anything exciting, very 'Monday tea' - just right. The 'not a pleasure' bit of that was the phone call to say my ENT appointment on Sunday had been cancelled due to industrial action and will be rescheduled at a later date. 

    3) Hubby back at the dentist in Uni city today and is picking eldest grandson up and bringing him back for a reading week. Looking forward to seeing him and he has booked us to take him back next weekend too! 

    4) Clearing space in the freezers so a lovely tea of several curries, pilau rice and naan breads. Totally stuffed and still full this morning. Yummy leftovers for tea tonight so no cooking today.

    5) A lazy start to the week for me, home alone til hubby gets back so just poodling and pottering. Some shopping to do this afternoon so will have a pit stop for tea and cake just because it's Monday and deserves to be celebrated!

    Wishing a pleasurable day to all.
