Into horsey town and saw several racehorse strings going up to the gallops.

Found a large Trivet in a CS, been after one for a while as my baking trays slide around on the small ones, also picked up a couple of lavender bags.

Leftover beef rolls for lunch.

Ebay purchase, lunge roller and Cavesson bridle for girlie.

Pesto strata for tea and then brain tested by Uni Challenge.

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Yoga - after my mega walk on Sunday, gentle yoga was just The Thing. Friend was there so had a brief catch up and a promise of a coffee next time
2. Saw two references next to each other in an article - one was Whyte and the next one Wong... :rotfl:
3. Diet starts - Not A Pleasure. Stood on scales - Not A Pleasure. THe Pleasure is.... erm.... knowing i can do something about it.
4. to that end, had a minimal breakfast, made broccoli soup for lunch and had a one pot chickpea, spinach 'thing' for meat free Monday tea
5. Cold feet...

Time to crack on - write, write, write....

I am after you, Taxman. Stupid baffffoooon says he has not got my money twice. He is a liar! Don't give him any room. He wanted payment. On your way stupid bafffffooooon! Please avoid!

Now I wanders if & after her adventures in NZs will gives us the delightful story of Mrs. Woodcock of Impington Cambridgeshire! She was out riding her horse in the snow and came off, although she tried to remount, she could not and was in a drift for 8 days or so. She managed to use a twig and a handkerchief and a farmer came along and dug her out! A plaque marks her remarkable endurance.

There you see, Not so grizzly today!

V Still not a happy Hector, but less grizzly. BoPsie is over the worse of it, but has her red wine lake drained. Please think of BoPsie!

4 Still grizzly, but as noted previous that BoP has money out of the prying taxmans earshot. This is now on its way to help replenish BoPs wobbleade stash. I am not interested in the red wine lake, thank you! BoPsie remains on wobbleade this weak! Though I hs managed to gets her enuff for a bag of crisps tomorrow evening in the WWW!

3 As murmured earlier that BoP is correct. Had quiz from bank about stashing. Preaching to converted them lot! Yet they allowed taxman to rob mes blind. Again BoP does has his stash hidden from his prying eyes and can ride the storm

2 Nite BoP is showing off his beach ready body in the gym.

Have enuff of one already!

And that’s all folks!

Good evening.

A day of meetings and phone calls and emails. And scraps of paper and answering door to landscapers when on phone and moving from back of house when they got noisy to front of house where they then started up the concrete mixer!

Very frosty dog walk at 6am. It was strangely very sparkly in an almost 'trippy' way ( not that I've ever tripped on anything in my life!) but bizarrely sparkly! And very pretty.

Had to scrape ice off car just so I could move it across the road. Seven tonnes of hardcore rubble deposited on driveway. The most beautiful sunrise as I scraped and as I'm nice did son's car too!

After meeting I went to T and bought Diet Coke with my clubcard vouchers! I drink way too much. But hey every little helps!

Had beans on toast for lunch and it was rather yummy.

Had lasagne for tea ( the other half of yesterday's as my normal lasagne
dish too big for new oven so did it in 2 smaller ones.) with RTC veggies, sprouts, broccoli and green beans.

Have made me ( as no one else will eat it) a blackberry and apple crumble for my pudding and some oatie biscuits.

My garden looks better already! They had to close play early as it poured from 1.30pm onwards. I know I'm going to love it.

Finished chairs so they're now looking much better and around the table.

That's the rain back on again. Glad I did the dog walk just before it started.

I'm off for some crumble! Have a good night

:rotfl: all the best with reclaiming your spondulits. come to think of it i wasn't very happy with OHMS when they took for ever to give me back my money. that was when i was PAYE. got my revenge on the world in general - i spent it on an electric accordion :cool:
Fab news frith
1) made a lovely lentil bolognase (jack monroe recipe) for lunches
2) got a lift in early with colleague - we then had a great catch-up meeting over coffee - then the meeting we'd both gone to and more coffee. i may not sleep tonight!
3) got a late cancellation on functional fitness. makes HIIT seem a walk in the park!
4) mrpiano had had venison sausages for lunch and there were 2 left for my supper so devilled them. note how most of my pleasures revolve round food and drink :beer:
5) won £25 from Ernie.

My five for today are;

2) Think I've found a Roughcaster to do my house :j. Been trying to arrange to have my house done for nearly three years.

3) Booked a 6 day trip to visit eldest son who lives 400 miles away. Seat booked on train quiet coach - really looking forward to the journey in a couple of weeks.

4) Used cream and bacon that was near its use by date to make a pasta dish for dinner.

5) Long telephone chat with a friend this evening then knitting and watched Medici on Netflix. I have cancelled free trial of Amazon now.

Going to bed shortly as I did not have a good sleep last night and shattered now xx

Tuesday pleasures,

A better night’s sleep.

Trip into BuryStEd, picked up a few bits in Mr Sparks using vouchers including some store cupboard requirements.

Leftover strata for lunch.

Saw my horse girlie, have never seen a horse that grooms themselves so much, she’s more like a huge cat and so supple, it’s like horsey yoga

On the way home from the yard, coming around the corner and two roe deer crossed the road ahead of me, beautiful.

Smoked haddock kedgeree for tea.
