Morning all - just caught up with all your pleasures. Far too many to remember, but cheers and hugs as appropriate.
I've been on me olidis. Walking the pembrokeshire coast path. So pleasures for the last whatever
1. 59.4 miles of coast path walked, grr shame we couldn't just do another half mile. But now we're on 296.8 miles in total, over a third done... It's only taken about 5 years... :rotfl:
2. Weather mixed but not too wet, only a couple of small showers to contend with. Perfect walking weather really, not cold but not boiling. A bit windy at times on some narrow cliff paths :eek:
3. Wildlife - pembrokeshire ponies, many seals and an adder :eek: not sure who was more startled when OH nearly trod on it....
4. Got on well with friends. We like them lots but he can be challenging at times. But it was fine. And we got the best bedroom:T Means we get the worst one next time though...
5. Met up with family for lunch. Met great nephew Oliver for the first time, already 6 months old - but if he will live so flipping far away...
6. Back via a national trust to ICT for a beer festival :beer:
7. much work to be done. Got a couple of days worth done whilst away, but have stayed alone at ICT to put in some long days.
8. walk by the sea yesterday - nice to not be on a cliff edge in a gale :rotfl:
That'll do for a catch up. Have good days allI wanna be in the room where it happens0 -

Monday pleasures,
So many wildflowers on the grass verges as I drove into horsey town.
A warm but windy day so washing dried quickly on the line.
My horse was transfixed by a tractor in a nearby field and didn’t hear me come into her paddock, her welcome whinny and trot over made my heart happy.
Strawberries with rtc cream for afters.
Remembering to count my blessings.0 -

I’ve read that book, and am going to see the author soon!Carolbee0 -
Nows yous sees our local corporation, that no longer runs the buses, has a new pelican crossing for the store the council activists and anti-everything, though will shop at the coop, don’t want this AlLid store in here, great hevens etc. Well we have a blanketed up pelican in place so people, that now shop at the new place instead of the coop, our council cannot decide that the old pelican, which is unmarked, should be turned off and the new one lit up to brighten our day. Not the answer Friths and & are looking for, butts tells yous all yous needs to know about corporations. Rotten Boroughs!
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and Elbow?
As for Humane Remains, Social Workers, Educationalists and Software Peoples, I will leave it too yous! Don’ts gets BoP started!
It ticked the box it did!
There, as I said yesterday, wes weres out in emporium spending BoPsie’s tax refund on a new nite attire and we has one. I doubt the comfort cats blanket will be herding to the recycle bins. More on this over the coming weaks! Wobblefizz was consumed and a flix of net watched.
Cricket, stuff it!
PM2DD 2 days to Engerland!
Now on abouts BoP. Need best luck tomorrow, details maybe soon.
Mixed up the tikka chickens last eve, they be brewing and maturing on the side. Usual mix of chili, termites (turmeric), coriander, mint, natural yogut, tom puree, squeezed lemon and fresh ginger. Will be grilled tonight. Proper recipes not available at Jimmy the Cook’s. Talking offs proper foods, that pan gravy BoP does is fantastic. I wills gives you details on SunDay!
YestDay I said about Haradh, and Kharj. As a gooner, I remember the other drinks that the Bedouin took from the other Arabs and the car parts they traded for the refreshment! A pity some others do not care about this? Bedouin first?
In the crushed nuts aisle at w8rs, we are to become a nation of Cereal Thrillers, lest we forget the packaging required for the cereal now hidden from our eyes? Wolf in sheep’s clothing! And our local skool, oh yeah here we go. I has it inn for the Educationalists! Stand Clear! Yeah, our local school after feeding the kids with sugared up sweeties, now wants me wrappers. Oops, I has none, see the Cereal Thrillers above!
HR Next, details soon!
So who got offs Scott Three?
As we woke up to the wettest June day this year so far, Group Captain James Stagg saw a change in the weather, and D-Day could go ahead. 75 years on they have grown old, like others who were to war. Korea, Malaysia, Aden, Oman, Falklands, Iraq. Distant memories now?
Well how well that describes your version of ‘The Life of BoP!’

Lovely little anecdote from DD1 on the phone last night, she'd gone up at 9.30 to persuade the 2 year old who was still reading his book that it was lights out time. Come on lovey she said it's time to go to Sl....., leaving him to finish the word. He fixed her with a gleaming smile and said 'Yes Mummy, time to go to SLUG!'.
Half an hour later as she herself went to bed a small voice from the babys room said 'Mummy's going to slug too!'...Priceless!
Good finds in the charity shops this morning, a lovely Next shirt for me and a jacket, a dress, and some shorts for my granddaughter to be plus 2 x books for the man children in my life.
A delightful little 2 year old with Granny on the bus for the first time who played peek a boo over the bus seat back with me all the way home, so sweet.
My lunch which was a baby leaf, beetroot and egg salad when I got home, I could have eaten a couple of horses by the time I arrived here but am now nicely full.0 -

Hello. Have come to bed to try and catch up with Masterchef Oz...charger is next to bed .
This work business kind of gets in the way of telly watching! And I don't really think I watch that much!
Dog walk this morning, Haggis was very pully think he had the scent of a fox. Met a friend so walked with her.
Work from 10.30am...much done...so nearly there!
Had pasta for tea...had to make it myself!
Exams are done for DD2 hurrah!0 -
Jack Daniels honey is lovely, and even better on offer.
Vjsmum, I adore Pembrokeshire, we go back whenever we can.
Some for Mon
1 We popped out for bits and bobs all via cheap shops, picked up an animal cooling mat out of curiosity, I need to know how it works.
2 Wonderful DH treating me to a big box of my favourite malteasers.
3 Stopped at the Range for a drink and rest.
4 Somehow managed not to purchase garden things, waiting for L or A to get some petunias in.
For Tue
1 I spent the first half of the day dedicated to various animal stuff, I cut up all of their treats, their dried food for the next 6 months was delivered, I cleared out all of the bedding and put it through the washing machine, 3 loads, while disinfectant was left in areas and cleaned after I cleaned litter trays and bits and bobs, all washed and back in.
2 I put a freegle ask out for a pre loved medium cat tree, you never know.
3 After lunch I built up a curry which is simmering away for later.
4 Feeling privileged as the birds have built nests in the old teapots we put up.
5 Took DH out to a volunteer meet, trying to take his mind of some family “issues” I wish I could do something about it but I can’t change people.0
