Pleasures for today (Thursday).


1) Not a bad sleep.


2) Hens OK


3) Took the greenhouse, in its million component parts, to the allotment.


4) Went to the charity shop in nearest big village but didn't find anything.


5) Roast gammon for tea.


6) Took bigger son to climbing - climbing wall is at my old school - and talked to a history teacher I know from there.


7) Got smaller son his first shaver so he will no longer look like Nigel Mansell. Despite our massive and black hairiness, neither bigger son or I have a moustache at all!


8) Mr Favourite has confirmed he will meet me on Sunday. :-)

It's early morning on the first of March. It's 2 years since my beautiful husband died. I miss him so much. He left a big gap in our lives.

Thursday.
Dry but ooooh much cooler. Come back sunshine .

Walked to T. Needed ingredients to make tablet for birthday celebrations. Forgot baking paper so couldn't make it!

Brunch was a roll and slice sausage with onions. Son had taken a couple of days off. He took Haggis a huge walk.

Started to walk back to T for baking paper ( was meeting DD off bus there) met a dog walking lady and had a very long chat with her so ended up DD got paper and I met her and she was almost home! Oops! Nice chat though.

Son filled his car with rubbish for tip. Old gate which was all rotten. Left over stuff from kitchen build. Panels of wood from other side of house that were falling to bits. It led to the discovery of a tiny bit of lane that I can probably sit bins in. Swept it all out . Removed dead tree.

Son went and got a firepit for the garden . Our '2 year' thing. He like his father loves a good fire! He had it roaring . Him , Haggis and GN enjoying the heat!

Me...by now all dressed up for evening out terrified of smelling like a bonfire and shouting shut the door!

Went out for dinner with a good friend. Had a lovely meal. I'd pate to start then a chicken in a wine sauce with bacon and leeks. Hadn't been there in years. Chat with couple at next table ...I'd missed the rousing 'happy birthday' as I was at loo.

It's now my birthday month...the countdown to 50 is on!

Beautiful tulips from my friend when she dropped me home.

Just before the niecelys arrived we had a mini flooding! There was a barrel of beer in cupboard under sink ( been there since Halloween party) somehow that had leaked everywhere and beer was pouring out all over my floors! Me in my finery shrieking at son to stave the flow! Me mopping! Niecelys arriving! So there was a faint aroma of beer mixed with woodsmoke last night when I got in! Son did dishwasher ...I refilled under sink. And it reminded me of two years ago when I came back from having lived in hospital for 2 weeks and the house was a tip and cleaning at 4am ( when we got home) as I couldn't face waking up in the morning and coming through to it.

The joy of watching my son and his little cousin aged 7 bonding over the flames with Haggis in the mix! He loves both of them.

Have a good day make it matter.

Birds have discovered my new fat ball holder.

Accordion player in town. Walking in sunshine i thought i was in France for a moment...

Having a laugh with clerk at hosp.

Finding a ceramic teapot stand (I've been looking for months) in the 20p bin at the charity shop!

A lovely walk yesterday morning, we decided to go morning rather than afternoon as we were expecting showers. We walked footpaths, the arboretum, along to and round the lake and then back home.

Meeting some new dogs and owners in the arboretum, so many doggie pals here now.

Ducks pairing off on the lake, apparently there are always loads of ducklings there in the season so I'm looking forward to getting DD2 and the Grandpickles up when they hatch.


Sweet potato jackets that we had with some spicy beans for lunch, new recipe destined to become a regular pleasure.

Quite a quiet day. One of contemplation and remembering .

Nice dog walk with friend/ neighbour and old lady dog. A bit drizzly though it dried up later .

Put washing out mid afternoon. Not quite dry but drier than it would have been on a clothes horse.

Very brief chat with DD1 she'd been swimming in the ocean as her way of commemorating today. The fact it was 39o probably made a difference! Though her dads favourite chocolate was like liquid by the time she got to it! He would have laughed.

Nice dinner . Just us three. Son cycled to the top of Ben Lomond as his way of commemorating his dad .

We sat out in the garden, all wrapped up and ate toasted marshmallows over the firepit. Son shares his father's fire building skills! Sat and blethered and it was nice in a cold kind of way!
