    Good afternoon. Wet again! But yesterday was sunny so I suppose I shouldn't be greedy.

    Village life - what a wonderful holiday. Jealous? Moi?

    Finished my jigsaw so that's now packed up for the charity shop. Decided to start my crochet lamb kit ( another Christmas present) but saw that the hook was a cheap plastic one. Couldn't find my proper hooks so emptied out a shelf of my craft cupboard. Found the hooks but decided to declutter rather than just shove everything back. Found my mum's collection of press studs and hooks and eyes. Do you remember those little black canisters you used to get camera film in? One of those full of press studs plus about another 10 cards of them. And I don't think I've used one in 20 years. I kept one card of each and the rest are gone. Ruthless, that's me.

    Been with my friend to visit an ex work colleague who is now in a home. It was a much more pleasant experience than I anticipated. She knew who we were, and despite a lot of confusion there were moments of clarity and humour. We'll go again.

    This has taken altogether too much typing. I'm using my Kindle and words and random letters keep jumping about! Not sure why!

    Happy afternoon everyone

    Hello.

    For the last two days. I’m still a bit meh in a lethargic kind of way with nothing of note wrong. Just not quite right! Sound like my dog goes at times 😆


    Anyway yesterday we had a beautiful walk in the morning and a quiet afternoon.

    I had popped into workplace as I had been very kindly gifted a box of chocolates.

    I have 2 new lots of work lined up. Such an odd job when you finish one lot and have to wait for the phone to ring…but it rang yesterday and again today!

    Today I had to go to the bank. Stood in a queue but enjoyed the chatter behind me. And nice chatty chatter with the lady at the counter.

    Popped into charity shop and found something I thought DD2 might like…so had taken some pics and sent her those and then had to wait!

    So popped into the town coffee shop I like and had a very nice tuna croissant. Chatter with staff and then had to go back to charity shop and pick up the things as DD2 had said yes. And then in other charity shop I picked up a Joules raincoat for a fiver which I was quite chuffed with.

    Anyway had parked up the hill and was now laden again!

    And home and hello doggy!

    A quiet afternoon…watching and snoozing and rewinding 😆the bits I’d missed by snoozing!


    And just the stretching out of days…and the singing of the blackbird. And a beautiful big moon shining down this morning.

    And I’ve had washing hanging out last two days which hasn’t even nearly dried but it’s not as wet as it was when it went out.

    Got some lovely RTC flowers last night.

    Much to be grateful for!
