Hello.

Busy kind of day off (no 4)
Up early.

Went to visit niece and baby. Very wet drive down and could hardly see the sea! Walked round to see their new flat. Then a mooch round charity shops. The other week my new to me curtains payment never went through bank so I felt a tad guilty so popped in today and made a donation in the tin! Guilt absolved. Bought a Hugh FW cook book.

Home...even rainier. Hello doggy very quick walk. Then made some brownies and scones.

Had to wait for a delivery of curtain poles. Just ordered them this morning. Just waiting (and waiting) on son putting them up for me.

Boss had sent me a text asking me to pop in for a chat (slight heart sink but all okay!) popped down and came away with loads of salads and baked potatoes!

Hoping to use up freezer /cupboards this week. Made a ricey/veggie/ gammon thingy! Very tasty and with lots of salad.

Niecelys popped in ever so quickly to get stair gate as baby is on the move! Gave them some baked potatoes.

Had to think on my feet! I have a spare elf on the shelf that’s going to work. GN clocked it on the stairs on top of the tub the salad had came in. So said he came back from work in DD2 bag and gave me such a fright when I opened the salad. Cheeky thing. And he’s going back.

Frith

Pleasures for today (Monday).


1) Good to get up after a terrible sleep.


2) Worked as an invigilator 10-3. Nice to see old colleagues again but a lot of teachers have left so a lot of new faces.


3) Popped to Narraways butchers after work for pies (of rugby player fame).


4) Pies for tea!


5) Did some crochet.


6) Watched I'm a Celebrity.


Tired this evening.

Monday pleasures,

Bit of a bleurgh Monday mood to start with so kept busy.

Out to feed store for girlie’s chaff, had completed loyalty card so fiver off. Picked up a net of carrots from roadside stall as well so she’s sorted for a while.

On to yard and lunged her in the pen, despite having a field of new grass in paddock she kept diving at small clumps in middle of pen, told her twice and she ignored me so third time I shouted NO, GET ON! Cue temper tantrum of squealing and bucking, made me giggle which apparently infuriated her more, such a diva :rotfl:

More roadside purchases, this time carrots and parsnips for us humans, 50p for a big bag, had some carrots for our tea and they were oh so sweet.

Uni Challenge and then caught up on His Dark Materials.

First pleasure of Tuesday is the return of Ampersand good to see you!

Morning all

My 5 Gratitude's

1 - 4. People who love animals so much they spend 7 years training. VETS !

5........Don't all shout at once. Credit Cards.

Tiggy is off for an operation. It looks like an abscess. On her top gum but isn't behaving as one. No sensitivity and abscesses hurt, I know because I have had a few in my life. Also the antibiotics they prescribed 5 days ago have not made a jot of difference to the lump. You can still see the shape and size of it from the outside of her face. About the size of a hazelnut. Am worried because she has had a form of cancer.

As I am on a tiny income she would not have been able to have this op without my credit cards.

Have a good day everyone
