Your dog must have been so happy Nargle.

$1500 is impressive Mhags. Well done.

Today's 5 are
1. Watching Ginger cat last night lying on the cool grass in the pouring rain. He has a cat flap.
2. Boss brought in raspberry magnums.
3. Difficult piece of work finished. Weight off shoulders.
4. Home made broccoli soup. Usually follow a recipe but this was off the cuff and is good.
5. Quiet night in. Catch up with the Blacklist.

It's NOT raining! and it's not HOT!

The welcome from DD1s cat this morning when I went to feed him and give him an hours company, Oh my goodness can that cat PURR!!!

Finding a beautiful floaty top in a charity shop in black with a floral pattern, beautiful enough to save for best for just £4, bargain!

My lovely greengrocer had bargains galore and I got two clonking great ripe pineapples for 50p each, 4 x ripe avocados for £1 and two BIG sweetcorn cobs for £1 too.


The avocado on toast I just had for my lunch.....sumptuous!

Evening from ICT

Pleasures for yesterday

1. Took OH to the airport at 4.30 am :eek: But felt surprisingly chipper
2. Caught the early train to London and worked in the library
3. Walked through London to the Phoenix theatre - I really enjoyed the hustle and bustle for once
4. Come From Away - it was fab...
5. Managed to get DD onto a train earlier than she'd booked and into first class


Have a nice evening all

Quick PM4&. Homeless. For two hundred years we’ve had too many old soldiers on the streets.
Linked from my Vets Breakfast. Don’t fill in yourself, but hand to charity contacts.

All. If you shave charity contact such as SSAFA, Soldiers off the Streets, or other, pass on to them.

Just popping by for a catch-up...

Good to read all your posts, some happy, some not so, but lovely to come back when I have a moment and say hello to you all.

1. No clothes/shoes bought for 2 months. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms especially as my 60-pair shoe rack still has gaps for two more pairs! But need tighten my belt as I have a new (yes it's a 19-plate and no I don't have a mortgage BoP ) car to run.

2. A wonderful week with DS, DDiL and 11 month old DGD in Lancs then down to Brum Hilton (if you have to go to Brum might as well stay somewhere decent ) for a 3 day convention with 1500 like-minded folk. Very subsidised so excellent value.

3. Had my little garden hard landscaped so sold my lawn mower and other tools on a local site. Would have given them away but being sensible the mog and me can feed ourselves on the profits for the next couple of months or so.

4. Two more stents in right artery but difficulty finding meds compatible with copd ones, the NHS has been amazing as always and are trying so hard to help. They must be fed-up with my overnight stays, feels like I have a bed permanently reserved for me. God forbid we ever have to pay for treatment, I and many others would be in big trouble. Thank you NHS.

5. After 22 years I've left my cable provider and switched to freeview. It's saving me £51 a month, I should have done it a long time ago but I have that awful disease called procrastination

Take care, love to all x

1. Arrived home from holiday on Wednesday to a tidy house and to a meal cooked by DS2.

2. Enjoyed walking round the garden. Some gardening done.

3. Work ok yesterday. Worked with a colleague who is a friend. She has had a couple of bad weeks at work covering for different people - me included. She had a better day.

4. Bus was on time and I read my book.

5. Some washing dried on line.

I came home from holiday to messages to phone my parents. My father has been told that his prostrate cancer has returned and the Consultant is concerned that it has spread so he is going to have bone scans and CT scans over the next week.

Sorry to hear about your Dad VL.

Thursday pleasures,

A cracking start to the cricket but Mr Smith saved their bacon.

Lesson on beautiful grey one, must’ve been good as ache today!

Listed a couple more items on fleabay.

Picked a pocketful of cherries on evening walk but the plum tree was covered in wasps so stayed away.

My Lammas loaf was tasty and went well with a spicy bake,
