    Now yous no needs to see BoP choke on his proper digestives this morning, all in his goatee as he reads the elder of Friths come up with that! Weedy! Yous need a proper bit of ruff! Thanks, I get the crumbs out. You don’t need to knows! No, I am still being chased by the Hunting Gorilla!

    Oh look in land of 'putah and autocorrect, there goes &

    Oh, we started with Totteringham yesterday and ended up in the flix of net store with Holmes and Watson. Wobbleades were consumed.

    Should be fixing the treaders this evening for the runs! Oh look is Bank Holiday again!

    Talking of Holiday, Tea party is booked again!

    Talking of money, Shovel master still has not responded to my demands. I come at a price! Perhaps he is inn the cashless office now sorting it!

    The chilli from Sunday is still brewing, will be used tomorrows.

    Oh, as I has mentioned before that BoP stopped watching BBC at 21:33Z 1982-05-03. Well Black Buck one took place today 37 years ago. Is it time now that the regressive TV Tax is abolished, remember that they prosecute more loan females in the UK than any other organisation!

    That’s is what I meant to say anyway!

    Good evening. It's turned out nice after a very wet start to the day.

    My day started at 5.05am...blooming dog! Think he needs black out blinds!

    Popped in town to pick up some beautiful peonies. My treat to me because I'm absolutely worth it. My florist had a good offer on.

    Popped into cheaper charity shop and bought a cape type jacket/thing! Not sure how to best describ. Dark grey wool with slits to pop your arms through. Had seen it last week. £2. Then a set of beautiful glasses. Probably sold originally as gin glasses but hey they take a 330ml can of Diet Coke! All different colour bottoms a bit like a Caithness glass paperweight would be my best way to describe. Again seen last week, hummed and hawed and wished I'd got them and they were still there today. Waiting for me. £3.95 for set of 4. And then an unusual set of very pretty glass candle holders. All different sizes and colours of glass. £3.95.

    Home before I spent any more !

    Pottered around. Had left over chicken pie for lunch as son hadn't taken it.

    Friend called in a bit of a panic but hopefully managed to alieve her concerns.

    Sorted wardrobe again! Another pile of clothes for a charity bag collection on Friday. Can now see my bedroom chair :) I'm getting DD2 old dressing table ( currently in hallway) and she will get a new desk ( currently half built in spare room but needs to go in her room to be finished) spare room causing me distress as filled with 'stuff!'

    Having spag Bol for tea. Sauce is made just need to cook pasta.

    Just planted up some RTC bedding plants in my old sinks at front door.

    Frith I have absolutely no idea about the modernities of dating a chap! But better to find out now he's Mr Wrong than a few months / years down the line when you've invested time, emotions, your self . We can all think of a word for Mr A now! Rhymes with farce!

    Have a nice evening :)

    4. Longer days.

    Good to see you posting &

    Wednesday pleasures,

    Beltane / May Day.

    Bit of a frosty start but the sun soon came out and washing was dried on the line.

    Over at the yard and equine girlie was testing to say the least, put it down to the spring grass or high spirits but she was a little madam!

    The good news is that the swifts are back and nesting in one of the spare stables so another season of them swooping over our heads as we go about the yard.

    Picked up a bunch of rhubarb from the stall outside the community garden for 50p.

    Cuddles with small dog, always good for a fit of the blues.

    Thank you for your kind messages re: the former MrA.


    Pleasures for today (Wednesday).


    1) Not a bad sleep.


    2) Hens OK.


    3) Went to my school to hand in paperwork so I can invigilate there again.


    4) Drove home the "back way", stopped off at a little shop in the village and one of the invigilators was working in there!


    5) Made a nice quiche for lunch.


    6) Meeting at smaller son's school. His attendance is now nil, really. A chat about whether or not he will go in for his GCSE exams...


    7) Popped in to college where smaller son has an interview. I hope he will go to it.


    8) Bigger son made chow mein for tea.


    9) My brother came round for board games.


    10) Bigger son and I went for a long walk in the forest and saw 2 deer with a stag.


    Alarm set for 5.20am for the first of 2 very long work days!

    So tired!


    Pleasures for today:


    1) Up at 5.20 (!) for a day of election work. Worked from 6.20am - 10.30pm. Have not long got home and have gone straight to bed as working again tomorrow... The money will pay to have my new (Ebay) stove fitted!)


    Pleasures were:


    2) working with 4 really friendly and funny people.


    3) All the voters nice, even those doing protest votes or moaning to us about the state of the country.


    4) Met someone in real life who I have spoken to for years on twitter!


    5) I took lots of lovely food - porridge for breakfast (first time I have ever made it in a microwave), nice sandwiches for lunch plus Scotch eggs and cake, soup for tea with another roll and yoghurt. It really makes a difference across such a long day.


    6) Got home and have been amused that sons have eaten everything in the house!!!! All the bread rolls, 18 slices of salami, all the Scotch eggs, a pack of chicken, lots of bread and a 4 person pasta bake! :-D
