@Sun_Addict you were living the dream 🤣

I would’ve loved a sister, sadly not to be 😢

You’d have tortured each other, it’s the law, but they’re definitely character building 😁 They are very nice to have when you are grown up, you just have to survive the first 20 years 😬

Good morning and happy Thursday ☕️🍫📚 🍰 
I tried on the magic pants yesterday and they are indeed magic, they are much more flattering than a stretchy waistband on a chocolate addict has a right to be! I will get some in navy too (but not until my spending money refreshes on Saturday). 

I did spend last night…£4.99 on a plug in light for the hall as it’s getting darker now and the late night rambles to the bathroom are fraught with danger for the pets, dogs water dish and any wall that happens to have moved a few inches without telling us. 

The wild bunnies seemed a bit bored with carrots and apple last night so I threw them a old brioche bun broken into pieces for afters and they fell on it like rabid dogs 😋 I really love to watch them. They send look outs at tea time, or sometimes they all come and mill about watching the house, they scatter when the door opens and within a few minutes they all come back to check the offerings. It’s a good crop of garden bunnies this year! We’ve had some years when they haven’t done very well with just an odd one or two and some years they’re all over. Next door really dislike them, but they are proper gardeners and value their plants, where as we prefer the wildlife. 

I hope you all have excellent Thursdays filled with wonderful things 🍰🧁🍫📚☕️

Happy Thursday. Glad you like the magic pants, they're fabulous aren't they? The wild bunnies sound adorable.

Morning , happy Thursday. The bunnies do sound lovely, but as an allotment holder please keep them  there 😉

off to our voluntary  project today, we help run an all ability cycle project, its right next to the beach, so you can imagine how awful it is to sit there on a warm sunny day with an ice cream talking to the lovely people who use it.  we were filmed last week for a bit to go on the Kent Council website promoting cycling.

have a good day filled with all our favourite things....

You’ll be famous @carolbee. Have an ice cream for me 🍦

I didn't want to be in the film, so have set myself up as an agent 😉

if I HAVE to have two ice creams I could I guess ....

The wild bunnies sound adorable. We have the odd hedgehog rambling through the garden but as we are also rampant with foxes I don't want to put any food out. The foxes scare me as they just don't move away from you. I have been known to sit in my car at night when I've come home waiting for a fox to go away 🤣

Glad the magic pants look good.  I'm going to have to wait before ordering anything as kids and money 🤦‍♀️

Ooh can I join in with the wildlife conversation. We have a squirrel that scares me witless. I hate them. This one must sense it because he runs right along the fence to the patio door, looks at me as if to say 'I dare you to come out' then goes and digs my lovely pots up looking for his nuts.

Oh I would love foxes and squirrels…we have neither ☹️

I like wild life in the garden and down the lottie, but where I live neighbours are using artificial grass and decking and then complain there's none about - I wonder why. There's just three houses, mine, next door and one up from them who have 'natural'ones ( normal and a bit weedy) and we see birds and the odd hedgehog people don't seem to realise that these artificial gardens aren't good for wild life, even with fields over the back.

Coming back to advent calendars, when I worked in an office, us two ladies had an advent calendar each, choccie ones of course, and over the first weekend someone (salesmen) ate all the chocs out of them, we created such a a stink that over night about a dozen new ones appeared lol, needless to say we didn't complain about that lol!!!
