    That is a very shoddy day, I'm sorry. Hooray for Bear being the saving grace! Hope tomorrow is a relaxing and pleasant one for you

    Aww, what a day. At least Bear didn't get up to any of his shennanigans, as that would have put the tin lid on it.

    Evening allI 

    I was awake until nearly 2am finishing my book but at least it meant I didnt wake stupidly early but really regretted it at 6.30am when Bear came to look for me.


    Out first thing to buy milk and compost from Lidl. When I got home I spent quite some time in the garden planting the plants I bought yesterday plus the courgettes. Also a little weeding of containers and spraying the gravel and paving with home made weedkiller. I have just closed up the mini greenhouse after checking the tomato plants that are in there.

    Checked the bank and credit card. Listed a couple of items on ebay. Nothing is selling at the moment but then I only have a couple of items on there. I have also emailed the MD of the estate agent reitereating how displeased I am at the lack of action and communication from our buyers or should that be waste of timers.

    Usual walks with Bear . Not one of his best but not the worst. There were a lot of vans about which he hates and lunges and barks at them.

    We have treated ourselves to takeaway fish and chips as I thought we needed something to cheer us up a bit. Going to start my new  2nd hand book. A James Patterson which wont be too taxing on my brain.

    Have a good evening.

    Evening all

    Its been an odd day. Mr LH didnt go to bed at all last night which was amistake as it was abour 7.30am when he did go and I had to wake him at 10.30 to take Bear to the secure field. He said he had forgotten but I reminded him yesterday. He looks a bit weary now.

    I popped out to post my blue badge paperwork and get a couple of bits. This will almost certainly be the last trip to the PO with their lovely staff before they close for good. Not only that the two cash points neaby are not giving money so that means for many they will have great difficulty getting real money if they dont drive unless it is sorted by Saturday.

    Bear enjoyed his run in the field and even recalled from a distance.

    The MD of the estate agent and our buyers visited the house today tto look at the damage from the break in but didnt have sufficient tools to remove the boarding temporarily so will have to go back tomorrow. It looks a little more positive but I am not getting excited until contracts are exchanged and I have a completion date. Nothing further on the development land yet.

    Greenhouse plants watered and the greenhouse c;osed for the night.
    Have a lovely evening.

    Mr LH up night again so nothing been done that would cause any noise.

    Exercise routine done. 

    No phone call from the MD of the estate agent so a rather shirty email will be in his in box tomorrow morning as he said he would ring after the visit today.

    I went to do the main shop on the bus and a taxi home as I didnt know what time Mr LH would surface. It was about 1pm and by the time we had walked Bear I woud have been flagging and not wanting to walk the length of the sm car park and back so I was glad I had.

    I have finished my book and will start the new one later. I have several waiting so not sure which I will read next.

    Have a good evening
