I have just seen in the paper that the price of stamps has gone up AGAIN! Sneaked that one in, didn't they? :mad:

We've stopped for the day, 5 hours, 5 locks, 3 blackheads, 1 swing bridge,1 dog attack, 1 helpful jogger, 1 very swollen ankle. Crackheads, not blackheads.

I'm heaving a lock gate open when a lady appeared with 4 dogs, one of which found me very scary and decided to threaten me, the rest of the pack joined in!
The first one tried to nip me the others just barked, it caught my shoe so no blood drawn, good job I'm not scared of dogs, I think it's the Windlass that scares them, they think it's a weapon.

I did try an ankle support but it didn't help, possibly because I'm tramping over rough ground.

There is roast lamb cooking, it will be ready about 6 I hope I can stay awake long enough to eat it.

Hester - elevate that ankle and put frozen peas or a cold flannel to get the swelling down and get CHS to do dinner!

Ooh, part time hermits!? I like that idea.
I enjoy being on my own but I also love a good natter (you'd never guess, would you??).
I love reading, too, but have no inclination to impose the Dewey decimal system anywhere (hope that doesn't rule me out). I can bring toasties with cheese, ham and fig relish in

One of my clients rang this morning to cancel an hour this afternoon so I popped round to a friend's for, er, a natter! As it happens said friend needs a few hours help next week so she has commissioned me to do some of the heavy work.

You lot are bonkers, do you know that?

I was going to do some tidying in the garden when I got home from work but went to put away a pay slip and ended up sorting all the paperwork that made it to the cupboard but not the folders. I've also activated 2 bank cards that had been sent a few weeks ago, forgot all about them - I would have remembered when the present cards were declined.

It's now a bit too late to go outside but the extra daylight has certainly lifted my mood for the evenings and there's always tomorrow!

Decided to play netball with the children after school and ran into one poor little soul, I have a very sore knee so I hate to think of her injuries, must check on her tomorrow (if she can walk!).

My DH always laughs when I describe myself as an introvert extrovert

If you met me, I appear to be a big personality, a bit on the gobby side, with a penchant for profanity.

In reality, most of life is waaayyy to 'peopley' for my taste and my favorite place is Home, with a book and a glass of wine

One of my favourite sayings is there are 7.4 billion people in the world and i can tolerate like 3 of you :rotfl:

It's going to be a long night!

Having passed 2 mooring spaces earlier on as 'there is bound to be a better one soon' well there wasn't so we are moored under a very large hill that is covered in trees.
So there is no light to power the solar and no tv reception, I pointed out that I don't want to go to bed for at least another 3 hours, CHS assured me that the tv just needs retuning as we have traveled so far.
Nope, I've tried it, there are no channels available, please check your antenna, says the message on the tv.
Oh joy, noble and meaningful thoughts it is then.

CHS had better come up with some way to keep you entertained then Hester
