Evening All1 parcel turned into 3 by this morning and there is another one to go tomorrow and some clothes and books dropped into the charity shop.Two people have booked a second viewing of the house and there has been a first viewing this afternoon plus an invoice for the gardening work done at the house.I forgot to say when we took Bear out yesterday there were two youngster racing around the green area where we and a lot of other people walk their dogs. Bear was not happy especially when one came njear us. Mr LH got out his phone and pretended to make a phone call and at that they left rapidly. Fortunately Bear settled quite quickly after thy had gone. A friend had told us the people living alongside the green were having trouble with bikes on there but it is the first time we have seen them.Talking of bikes our neighbour that was stalking me a while ago parked his bike in his front garden which meant at 7am he was driving it down the narrow path to get to the road. Bear wasnt keen on that as he goes right past our front door.Yesterdays washing folded and put away.Recycling and dustbin put out for tomorrows collection.A couple of weeks ago I suggested getting solar panels when we have some money which Mr LH pooh pooed sayed our roof faced the wrong way. This afternoon he suddenly said he had been researching solar panels and thought it might be worth while. It seems our roof may have moved.

Scrambled egg and b&b for lunch and chicken risotto for dinner. Not particularly slimming but no cke, chocolate etc eaten just some grapes and a banana.Have a good evening.

Evening allI did write a post yesterday but it disappeared and re writing it seemed to0 much so a quick catch up. Went to PO which I found was closed until 9.30 so did the first half of my main shop and returned to find a queue the length of the shop so gave up and re-scheduled for today.I have emptied the last box in the conservatory and put the items on the vacant dressing table. This has mede room for Mr LH to bring in the kitchen unit from the car in readiness for the cars trip to the garage for cam belt and other mainteneance stuff today. It had to go to Bristol so Mr LH had to get a train home I thought maybe a period return would be cheaper than two singles but no joy it was exactly twice as much.While he was out I hoovered right through the house and did some admin.While I was doing the second half of the main shop yesterday I was on my way back to the car with my trolley and using the crossing when I was very nearly hit by a car. The driver was an older woman who obviously didnt see me despite I was already on the crossing. She turned from the row after I stepped on the crossing and I expected her to stop - my right of way as I was alreay crossing. I reckon there was about an inch between her car and me so feel qite lucky.Yesterdays parcel posted but went to a different PO in case my usual one was playing with opening time again. It is harder to get to as the pavementt is very bumpy and the drops on the pavement are in the wrong place, few and far between and not opposite each other so some time on the road. I also have to cross a car park with more pot holes than flat ground and they are not small ones.Off now to continue watching the first series of Wolf Hall which I am enjoying.Have a lovely eevning.5
