    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. Note your reverbe £1.80, Frith.😀 Vg! Today, &'s 20p reverbe made up 50p>Nexus. 2 lovely wooden toys, a tractor xylophone and a jingly bells stick, were free for the little chap who's having a tough first winter.  Will drop them off tomorrow.
    4. & always takes Panda bars and something non-marzipan from Food Warehouse to Nexus on Tuesdays.  Christmas shortbread was today's extra. Love FW's 10% discount Tuesdays and their excellent staff.💓
    5. Learnt late in day of farming+rugby friends' son's 21st birthday. Back to Nexus, where a 2004 Dandy Annual, a fabulous 21st candle and Rugby Nonsense Tales all went into a shiny new golden bag with card.  Now left on farmhouse door handle.👌

    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 before
