Many congrats to mrpiano DD
Tuesday pleasures,
Hoovered out my wardrobe and chest of drawers then rearranged clothes, looked so nice I kept checking them all day.
Hanging washing outside and a big old heron flew over my head.
Rescued a tiny (honey?) bee from the spare room windowsill and put him back outside.
Completed a couple of online surveys and bid successfully on a pair of linen trousers.
Capt S watched the footie so read and finished my book.0 -
Nice to read Sparrer.
Congratulations to Mr Piano
For yesterday
1 We planned to pop out to make use of the bad weather, thou of course it being school holiday everyone had, we spent a little frugally we picked up 2 garden baskets to put on the wall, white metal ones they won’t last we know but they will look good for the summer. And purchased some little bits a pot of chilli flakes, and some delicious cherry liquer biscuits stashed out of sight.
2 We popped into bnq, it’s been a very long since we purchased paint we wanted, eye wateringly expensive.
3 We popped into Costco, picked up 4 offers and dinner, I do have to admit one of those offers was a chocolate cake ops, that made it’s way into the trolley with 2 pounds off.
4 Garden seeds surviving.
Right I can’t put it off anymore the 2nd coat of paint has to go on the ceiling.0 -
Shovel Master has not responded. I has checked the direction of the sales line in the graph, and it seems ok at the moment, it is upwards. Self biographical data is not released. Playing mouse!
Was inn the gym this very morning to reshape my beach ready body. That excess from the wharf of fishermen has nearly burnt off! That is what decent food does for you as well!
Nows I has not mentioned me lunch box this weak! Well aparts from proper fresh squeezed orange juice at home twice a weak now, the lunch box today contains the croissant, as BoP has been shaping his beach ready looks, two proper digestives, toms and strawbs. No gack! Got it. A bit of cheese and a chocolate digestive from w8rs. You will note no double processed low fat bad for you homogenised emulsions!
On grocery front, pity that T got too much on their greasy palms! Also as murmured lately by BoP about the high street. Forget it!
Just checked me extra pot for mes pension. I should be ringing the claims guys, last night it is down by £77. I wants me money back. Pay me my money back. Please note, it is up by around £200 on the investments this month. Other ice A things has regained its loss!
Now BoPsie is getting all too giddy on her pins about the next BoP Tour. Big Apple or Tea Party?
Cants remembers if I had one yesterday! So I am having one today! I see the song contest has run into problems. Now as I recall last time I was out in the middle east, they still stone people for adultery in KSA and other places, but why has some LGBT gang decided that is not worth complaining about, but the only place where LGBT is allowed the luvvies are up in arms. Sits, remembers the aid bags from Israel deployed by Saudia in Iran in 93! Sugar me? Was it Pepsi in one or Coke in another!
A wobbleade later, perhaps!
The Show must go on.0 -

Good morning, a cold start to another lovely day I hope.
Wednesday came and went.
Managed to get DD up for a bit and in the shower with me also in the shower and probably more wet than she was! We didn't think of this when we got rid of the bath! ( shower cubicle is bath sized. ) anyway she felt ( and smelled) better afterwards and I just got changed again!
The niecelys arrived and GN and I headed off to the allotment, she was being rather disagreeable and I was found to be muttering to myself that I'm far too old for this carry on but once we saw lambs she was happier then a chap at allotment had his dog so she was in her element.
What a beautiful day. It was warm and we planted our seeds in one of our beds. Planted some sweet peas and wild flowers and cornflowers as I want a cutting garden. Some carrots and spring onions and peas.
Walk home...all uphill!
Had had an early tea so came for a shower then didn't quite make it back downstairs so think I was in bed at 7pm which hadn't really been the intention but just kind of happened!0 -
Wednesday pleasures,
Bright sunny day, tad chilly though.
PP had the farrier in the morning so went over to the yard. She had been put out on her summer paddock the day before and little monkey didn’t want to be caught! Luckily had a reserve treat in pocket .
Lovely farrier did a good job as always and girlie put back out in less than an hour.
Visited the local garden centre in search of inspiration but full of bored kids & their harassed parents so withdrew sharpish with some bird food.
Watched the last episode of Fleabag, sniff.0 -
Shovel Master has not said a word yet …
Wents to the mill this morning and saw Raffles patrolling his kingdom. He gets far. Last night he bought his own supper in and I managed to save a field mouse. We do feed him!
Nows last nite BoP said he was to has a wobbleade and he did! Watched the film Aloha, on the flix of net! Was a good. Bit to gooey eyed for BoPsie as it had Bradley Cooper in it!
Don’t tells BoPsie, buts mes off out to get her a pressie for her Birthday next weak. She got her perfume for the anniversary, so I don’ts knows what yet. Please put suggestions up and send wobbleade chits so I can get something more than a tanner!
In case you are wandering whats a wobbleade chit is, it has a picture of the Queen on it and they be legal tender! They are no longer white.
Nows next weakened wes is doing the lounge in BoP Palace, so this Saturday it is the dump run, of the tip as mentioned in the parish. We did it a few tears back in a nice azure blue, but got a can of silk and a can of matt! It looks nice in the soft light!
I see that George has getten himself in the paper again! He wants to affect the workers here instead of direct action there! Or as told to me in KSA a few years back. It cures the repeat offender! And Australia, please come and collect your unwashed wannabe!
Having one today! Testing new proper food tonight, details tomorrow and yous knows it will be good for you! More later!
There, that’s what happening in your version of the ‘Life of BoP!’0
