Watching ‘They Shall Not Grow Old’, recognising kit and loving the laconic voices recalling, recorded before the shroud of not understanding became misinterpreted as shame and horror. Ending with Mademoiselle from Armentieres, as is only right. (Peter Jackson got to combine all the film making magic with his interest in WW1 to get the old grainy footage contemporary smooth & then coloured.)

Epic post DforV - loved this when I saw it in November....

Pleasures for yesterday

1. keeping on keeping on.
2. Lunch with friends - good to talk to people rather than staring at a screen
3. Veggie moussaka for tea, followed by cheese and apple (i've gone low carb to lose a few lbs)
4. Cleaning up on TV - :eek: at the gambling...
5. finished a chapter to the point where i've sent it to OH to read and comment on... Getting there slowly..

Have a good day all.

Enjoying reading your pleasures,
DfV I had to look up weasel brushes, wondering what I was going to find.

I haven't been out this week, rather poorly for the first time in a long while, I was in bed a few days and have been up and about the past 2 but not up to shopping yet so we are on long life milk and are at that silly pont where everything keeps running out.
1 It felt like a mammoth task, but I baked a cake, a chocolate 2 layer one, its cooling as I type this and try to get my temp down, painkillers and fan running.
2 There has been easy food and soups, lots of soups.
3 Using irritated time to snuggle up in soft fleece and read.
4 I re stocked all of the bird feeders as I enjoy seeing them in the garden, I half expected them to be pexking on the window with a little bowl in beak asking for more...
5 A washing load has been done and is now cheat dried via the dryer.

My five for today are;

1) Good sleep last night and loads of energy today.

2) Four hour's doing housework this morning. I was like speedy gonzalez running around cleaning :j. I even took a toothbrush and bleach to the grout between the tiles in the en suite. I wish I had energy like this every week.

3) Knitting Group in the the afternoon with delicious home made shortbread brought in by one of the ladies. Great chat and lots of knitting done - easy rib pattern so not much concentration needed.

4) One hour's quilting done before starting dinner.

5) Pollock. home made chips and cauliflower cheese for dinner. While the oven was on I baked my favourite white chocolate and cherry buns.

I've had a great day today - wish every day was like this xx

Thursday pleasures

Dry bright day but started windy - managed to find the compost bag which was hiding round the corner & my watering cans which were at the end of the garden

Even though it was very windy last night nothing got broken :T :T

My F*tb*t is happy with me :rotfl:

A few good deeds today - retrieved & returned next door’s compost bag, picked up all the litter round our roads, let someone in front of me at the sm checkout as he only had 2 items - feeling all virtuous now :rotfl:

Opticians appointment for DH - eyes OK :T

Today I have seen swans, Canada Geese, Greylag Geese, grebes, tufted ducks, mallards, coots & seagulls + in my garden - blackbird, blue tit, great tit, parakeets, magpies, sparrows, the ubiquitous pigeons & of course several squirrels & tonight 2 foxes. However nothing as interesting as LaineyT’s stoat, wren & roe deer 🦌 but then again the stoat & the roe deer would be pretty lost if I saw them on my daily walks on the Isle of Dogs :rotfl:

Will have the 2nd half of my curry tomorrow night as I decided to have hm soup & crusty bread tonight.

Managed to see the crescent moon before it clouded over :T

Thursday pleasures,

Busy but productive day at home. Paperwork sorted, some filed, most shredded and we now have a clear desk.

Also had a sort through the big cupboard in the dining room and now much tidier. Put some of my pretty cake plates on display in the dresser and pleased with the result.

Out to the butchers at the farm shop, added more to my budget and got a pleasing amount of meat for the freezer, am prepping but no fear here just makes sense to me.

Salmon and fennel pasta for tea.

Watched Phil Spencer 100 homes thingy, lovely seeing all the ancient houses.

2. Plenty of eggs from hens.

3. House has been peaceful.

4. Work not been too bad as have been distancing myself from toxic situations where possible.

5. Nephew has had plaster removed from his arm which he had broken playing football.

V Down back at mill with new branding. God the new desktop is lout, I am going to get me sunglasses! Avoid. I have now dulled my eyes. Mind yous inn the spoiler room, I am sure we can soot it down shortly! Anyhow, millwright has probably spent his dosh down the local wobbleade emporium, The Flog and Suck-it on the identity, which if he knews a IT hack, could had got free by ripping off a local building society website!

4 Anyways as I said BoP was on tracks yestday up Norff and as BoP is the gaffer of his team, I can organize this to curry day and curry was had! Proper tasty as well. Looked for chips and gravy for weigh home, but none could be found! Now chips and gravy are proper foods and rite tasty!

3 BoPsie scooped BoP up from our pub, not bins inn for a while, previous owners were dour and did not do food. New guys look like they want to run the place proper! More later, but as previous did not sue kitchen, work is needed! Elsewhere mes and BoPsie had steak date night!

2 Night Bop is in the gym, less than 40 days to Warff of Fishmens in San Francisco! Details of BoP tour soon!

No need to have one today!

Plenty more where that came from!

Hello. Started this about 2 hours ago and then the phone rang and I got waylaid...however I do have clean bathrooms now!

Thursday was a bit busy.

Out and about early and went to Ald! which is away at the other end of town from me. I don't normally shop there but I certainly got a trolley load got a lot cheaper. Some of that was because things I had on my list were RTC.

Went into TKmax and got a top for DD2 upcoming birthday. A shower squeegee thing and what I was going in for ...a new lasagne dish!

Got a new lampshade for the new to me lamp base. It looks so much more acceptable to my eyes now!

Home. I do like just being at home. With my dog.

Had a nice and bright walk with his old lady friend who was surprisingly sprightly! Nice blether as we walked.

Had stripped bedding and remade bed for my guests.

Made a rather delicious pasta with veggies and half a pack of the 10p bacon from freezer and also used up some cold meat chicken. Half a tub of cream and some chicken stock and it was delicious. Son has just had the leftovers for his lunch ( he's off sick)

My friend came round. She listened . I talked ( she did too of course ) and talked. Had a lot to work out and plough through but kind of reached the right decision and feel better for reaching it with her help.

Walked her halfway home with Haggis. Just like I used to in the olden days with our old dog.

Today I've made tablet, brownies with cream eggs ( totally different recipe than my normal one. Back to usual recipe next time. ) individual pavlovas and little meringues.

I have a houseful for dinner later. Looking forward to them all arriving. Wet and wild here today. Went out and picked up a neighbours bins which were flying down the main road.

Had a nice chat with niece this morning. Great niece is very excited to see her cousin.

Will catch up when I can.
