Ann, I think it posted yesterday and then again this morning. How strange :-S

A beautiful morning here after a chilly night.

I'm thinking of taking a trip to a country park not too far away, as I haven't been there for ages. We have had fine days for a while now, so hopefully the muddy paths will have dried up a bit. I will chance wearing stout trainers, as I don't really want to wear my wellies, which are great and cosy, but more cumbersome when on and off the 2 buses to get where I need to go.

I just found the previous post sitting waiting for me to post it when I opened up the PC this morning. I am amazed as I switched the PC off and pulled out the plug last night and it ran an update when I switched on this morning. I had obviously forgotten to post it, but I am amaazes it didn't get automatically deleted.

slept ok right through until 0430 but then couldn't get back to proper sleep, just dozed I suppose my body thought 4-5 hours was sufficient.

Being picked up at 10 O'clock. so had better get on now.

Thanks Vera. I hope that doesn't develop into a proper migraine. and that you are OK tomorrow.

Mel, Ah, I see what you mean about the plugs.

Its good to know you are ok Vera . I hope you feel better in the morning and that you have a good nights sleep tonight.

My back door is set back from the outside of the bungalow so there's a covered bit but it is open to the outside. I once had Blue Tits nesting in the extractor fan in the kitchen.

Thanks Vera. I hope that doesn't develop into a proper migraine. and that you are OK tomorrow.

Mel, Ah, I see what you mean about the plugs.

Mandy, I think Mel said the blue tit was behind an outside plug. I wouldn't fancy it in the kitchen.

Enjoy your day out tomorrow AnnG.

I'm OK but I've had 2 attacks of ocular or retinal migraine today and I can't see the screen properly so I'm signing off now. Hopefully will be back tomorrow.

No no no the plugs are outside in the porchy bit to the back door I'll send a photo tomorrow. Its a line of plugs oh cut to fit under the porch to plug the pond filter in and an outside light I can turn on from indoors with a special switch. Its sort of triangular with the plugs on the front but there is a gap in the back one end and thats the end the birds goes in. I have heard it pecking about in there .

Thanks Mandy we went to the same Place this time last year and enjoyed it.
Do you mean the blue tit is actually I doors Mel?

So the blue tit is in the kitchen Mel ?you said behind the plugs how has it got there .

No pancakes for us tonight as we had pasties and mixed veg so after having pastry we couldn't have eaten pancakes so we'll probably have then tomorrow.

Hope you enjoy your trip out tomorrow Anng

We've not heard from Vera today hope she's ok.

Well tonight I went out to feed the girls their corn had a little walk up the back field but when I went out the back door I thought I saw the blue tit which I think is roosting behind the outdoor plugs for the pond light etc. When I came back and took my boots off and wshed my hands I went for the towel on the cooker and saw movement and there was the little Blue Tit on the wires so I waited very still and low and behold I saw it go behind the plugs. So I was right and Robert said it could'nt get in there.

Iv'e made my pancakes and a cherry pie and with the left over pastry did a turn over thing with cheese bacon and tomato and I had that for a late lunch.

I can eat four if they are nice and thin and it has to be lemon and sugar for me too.

Picked up a few sticks of the orchard grass and opened my shed top door so Jenny Wren and Robby can go in and eat the dead flies up and Robby has fat sticks and sunflower seeds in a dish in there.

Shopping came one sub and that was the celery which I am not really happy about but need it for some soup and a casserole so I kept it. Thing is its the celery sticks and they all look like outside stalks no heart sticks at all plus they charge you more for that!!!!

Hope you walk tomorrow dos'nt tire you too much Anng. If you have others with you it won't be so bad cos the chatter will take your mind off the tiredness.

Right pill time and lunch time and I need to make some soup and a cherry pie and a casserole but I may make that tomorrow..

Well I am not sure that it was a good idea having to be reasonably fit for tomorrows walk through the park and museum, however, I am just back from walking round to get my prescription and coming back the long way round including a visit to Tesco for a few bits. Two small bags to carry home with the prescriptions, not too heavy but I feel tired now. Luckily I slept a bit better last night. Still woke several times but went straight back to sleep after a loo trip. I should think it was just over a mile walking, plus walking round Tesco.

Morning all,

Lovely sunny morning again after a slight frost ,I've just come In for a coffee after doing a bit in the front garden ,going to stop now as I've dons a good hour and I don't want to aggravate my back.

Yes Mel pancake day , how many can you eat :-D they do freeze well so any spare you could freeze for another day .
Got to be Lemon and sugar for us on our pancakes .

O I have just remembered its PANCAKE DAY today, get out your frying pan, milk, eggs and flour and lets cook..................... :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Morning Anng and all,

Beautiful mornin g here once again and there is still frost outside but the sun will soon burn it off.

Shopping day today so thats somethig to look forward to. I don't like the way Asda send you an email to say don't forget your delivery pass before you've even got your order. How are you going to know what you run out of even before you have had the shopping that week? I usually bung on milk bread and a couple of bottles of wine to get me up to the £40 and then in the week I put things on and take thing off.

I hope the weather like this tomorrow for your visit to Stratford park it will be pleasent to walk around in the sunshine rather than rain.

good morning all, looking like another nice sunny day but still only -1 degree. I hope it goes up to 12 as it did yesterday, it was so nice to sit for a while in the sun.

Not sure what I am doing today. I need to walk round to the chemiist for my prescription but don't want to overdo it today as I am out with the group of friends to Stratford park in Stroud tomorrow and walking round there it is quite hilly in places.

Mel, I think that programme is called Small Town, Big Story. I believe it starts on Wednesday and is on Sky.

I am shattered tonight. I’ve been working all day. My back aches now but I managed 45 minutes gardening so I feel quite pleased. Most of the washing was nearly dry when I brought it in at 3.30 pm. I’ve just got a couple of sheets and some pillowcases to do tomorrow. Tesco were late which is unusual for them. Apparently the freezer bit on the van had broken down. I had only ordered 1 frozen item which I didn’t specially need so I’ll be reimbursed for that. The poor driver left me at 4.30 and had 9 more deliveries to make by 6 pm.

No phone call from the plumber yet. It seems they don’t want the work. I can see OH is itching to get on and do it himself. So far he has said he won’t because he knows I am worried about it but if we really can’t get anyone to come in, he’ll probably insist on doing it. Oh well, I’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Think I’ll have a go at the crossword now. Hope you all have a good night.

I did yesterdays ironing of all the whites and pegged another load out this morning but not dried much so I have left it in the hope its better tomorrow. I did drive my car up the top to get the recycling bin back down here as it had'nt been out for three weeks and was full to the brim with the paper bag on top.

Fish are all moping in the corner of the pond and hav'nt eaten all the food I ut in yesterday so they have not been fed today. I only feed them when I see them swimming around. Mac cheese for tonights dinner so nice and quick.

I saw in one of the tv papers about a program filmed in Ireland and in this weeks paper it said it was filmed in the place one of the actors grew up but they did'nt say what the program was called and it was a 6 parter. I can't remember what statiopn it was on either. So annoying when they do that, if they had just put what channel it was on I could have looked it up. I am just hoping it was no good now.
