Pleasures since Tuesday (!!)

1. second fast day went really well - I may do two in a row more. Even had calories left for bacon, egg and a little fried potato

3. Nice to see siblings though and had a really nice evening with my sister and her family
4. Good trip back and picked up MiL en route. She is not in martyr mode at the moment so that's good
5. trip to the garden centre yesterday was pleasant
6. Garden is looking pretty good. I cheated and bought some sprouted bean plants as i hadn't got round to doing them. Love a bean wigwam...
7. DS came home and had had a good mini break in ICT

Have a good sunday all.

Hello. Sat next to my dining room window enjoying the air and the chirpy birds. Letting my dinner go down then out for a doggy walk.

Woke up to rain this morning. How unusual.

Nice doggy walk but felt very encumbered wearing a gilet when it's been vest tops for past couple of weeks!

Picked friend up to go to church. A lovely service but just as I was trying to escape I was caught by several people who I've not seen since I got back and who knew a young OH very well and I just felt uncomfortable and didn't want to be there. I just stand and think I don't know what you expect me to say! They've not bothered to make any prior contact even though I've been back 7 months. Anyway...spoke to others that I wanted to on my way out the door! But the churchy part was good.

Went for lunch with friend and both our girls. I just had a baked potato. And polished my halo whilst they ate chips!

Home via M&S and dropping them off. Was so humid and hot by this time.

Bit of a potter around kitchen. I want to take photos of what I like ( not much ) in current kitchen and what I dislike ( most of it). Have kitchen designer on Tuesday.

Had made slow cooker steak pie, jersey potatoes, cauliflower, carrots and snow peas for tea.

Friend is going to take leftover wallpaper to use at her work with kids.

My pumpkin seedlings / plants have flowers on them. Hurrah! From our Halloween pumpkin last October.

Old(er) lady sat next to us at church. 'Do you have children at church ?' (Was prize giving ) . DD2 said 'I'm the child.' Oh...I thought you were just friends. I think there's a compliment in there somewhere...I regard my church as my church ( been going 27 years) but forget I've been in another country . So we may look like strangers but we're really not!

The 3rd of June was the due date for my boy many years ago...he didn't bother appearing !

Sunday pleasures,

Early morning wander around the garden, cloudy but already warm. Sat for a while to enjoy my cuppa and was rewarded with the sight of mummy sparrow feeding her babies under the hedge.

Bacon butties and a catch up with all things Ambridge.

A bit of work done in garden, the honeysuckle is starting to open and perfume the air.

Lazy afternoon snoozing under the parasol, dragged my reluctant bones over to the yard and was rewarded with an affectionate horse girlie.

Nothing we fancied on tv so both read our books until it had gone dark. Took little dog outside for last comfort break and was just in time to see the ISS pass overhead.

Complicated tariffs and fares etc. On that again, BoP reminds his readers of rule of BoP. Better inn my pocket than theirs! Got it. Use that Your Stitched site for comparisons!

Top banana! Now the Banana Splits, great TV. Not proper Scrabble! Bacon butties and marmite soldiers dippy eggs. Proper Foods!

V We’re not on the floss either. Back in the mill and another week on the shovels. Got to shovel hard now as it is coming time for BoP Tour. Washington and Big Apple. You know the score!

4 Forgets to gets the tea bags inn yesterday at the emporium. Had to nip into the coop and raid BoPsie’s piggy bank. Tea is now being drunk, and we don’t dunk biscuits at the mill. That is uncouth! Talking of tea, the box of lunch today was only half packed by BoPsie! Atrocious. Usual foods of Salad, cheese, club and Bourneville. I put in the Pork Pie and Digestive that BoPsie deliberately forgot! Mind you, as she did her hair yesterday, it has gone to her head! Talking of hair, yesterday as always on Sunday, I made the usual trimmings and scrubbings. As BoPise had pinched the conditioner because BoP likes it rough! Well, when BoP trims his hair, it needs a bout of proper sorting and … Sore Ted. The usual ship lotion was used afterwards! It stung!

3 Last night played Proper Scrabble with BoPise. She remains only one win away from the chance of two on the bounce. Nearly had a pitch invasion with Raffles, but he was a quick visit. This morning at breakfast, he needed window silling. He has not managed to get through the curtains! BoP opened it for him so he could see the street. Talking of proper foods and proper breakfast, this morning being poached egg on buttered toast, I ponder how many actually sit down for it, or do you just grab and go without a curtesy!

2 Nite BoP is inn the gym trimming the serious puppy fat. No trip to Anderby Creek in the near future.

Can you find it then!
