Hello. Wind is starting to pick up. A tad wild.
Out this morning for a scone at garden centre with The Chap’s family. Met an old school friend who now lives overseas. And nice chat with old colleague too.
Home and they all came back to say goodbye to doggies.An afternoon working, writing, calls, tying up details for next services and a new service booked in.Had an eggy sandwich for tea. I just feel I’ve eaten too much past few days!3 -

2. Ate some of yesterday's raspberries on way out today. Still a few left to ripen.

1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Went to floody city for a cup of tea with my school friend.
3) On to Waitrose after for a cup of tea.
4) Went to our football club to collect some little presents ordered for smaller son.
5) Dunelm after for a frame for our new Malmo poster.
6) Roof leaking a lot into the kitchen so I phoned a roof man and he is coming round tomorrow morning.

8) Cleaned the bathroom.

yesterday went well - today was a rest day, time to do some sight-seeing
1) we walked to the train station - lots of barking from a kennel - turned out it was the Police dog kennels with a very large K9 in red on the wall - made me smile
2) 2 train journeys safely negotiated and a fabulous temple complete with a very large reclining buddha and line of 108 buckets to drop coins in - you could buy a dish of coins for 20 bhat so of course we both did
3) a cake and a very nice coffee to get our energy back up
4) a fab boat trip down the river on the express - it certainly went at a fair lick and we went right to the last stop
5) a taxi back to the hotel and a dip in the infinity pool before supper
now watching the shoot out from Blackpool - not seen this format of snooker beforeMrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025
