Out to the farm shop and found a rare parking space in the shade.

Take care of you, Nargle
Pleasures for yesterday
1. Typing typing, building my last chapter... had enough, fed up with the whole thing now but I've come too far to only get this far (my current mantra)
2. leftovers for dinner - veg stir fry from the night before. leftovers are my favourite food, no thinking about it.
3. went for a walk in the warm sunshine
4. OH is having a lovely few days in Holland at lots of Organ recitals. He's back tonight :T I've hardly seen him in the last 3 weeks,
5. Ambulance
Have a good day all.I wanna be in the room where it happens0 -

BoP has bin at the Vets BrakeFest this morn inn and has had his snorker plate full, not good when yous is beach ready, but nice!
Now down at the mill, always good to bee late inn on POETS day, come and damp down the fires in the boiler room and out as if the wind has blown the door!
That does no means I has no biscuits, cheese or satsumas! Two cheese as well.
And now for the weakened/! All go with the yellow from Raffles.

Ah you're all pictures of serenity. Perfick.
My 5p's:
Last of the shampoo bottles and now I build a stock of shampoo bars. Nice feelings.
Using the sun to bleach my whites on the line. Also a nice feeling.
Youngest DD tired but happy from her end of term roller disco.
I hear older DD singing and strumming her guitar as I type. She's really quite nice.
Thankful the NHS is there to help me with asthma issues.0 -
The Zebra childs first school report, so lovely to read he's doing very well in all areas and that his enthusiasm is inspiring his class mates.
A good afternoon in the shop where we decimated the stock room clothing and put it out at very reasonable prices and sold quite a lot of it too! win win eh?
The tomato soup I made us for lunch, new recipe and very tasty, and we have enough for a couple of bowlfuls each left.
DD1 survived sports day better than anticipated (school wanted her supervising children all day out in the sun at 7 months pregnant) and managed to stay in the shade in the stands and still do the supervision she was required to do.
The people I'm lucky enough to work with, they are a nice bunch of folks and I enjoy their company0 -

Pleasures for today (Friday)
1) Not a bad sleep.
2) Packed up the holiday house and we were on the road by 10am. Arrived home at 7pm... The longest drive I have done in 20 years and smaller son has a sun burned arm and bit of leg just from the light coming through the car window!
3) A nice sandwich from Tesco.
4) Everything has grown in the garden. Had a bowl of raspberries, not from the allotment but just from the few rogue raspberry canes in my garden!
5) Cat OK.
6) Watched Gogglebox and the Last Leg.0 -
