Went out for a long bike ride. Took a load of CDs and books to the charity shop. Picked all the kids up. At my sons. We shall be eating shortly. Then we will be measuring up for new paths, patio, and floorbedecking.

Got my new sofa, don't like not having a recliner.

Went to the dentist.

Went to tesco where some wine just FELL into my trolley and ended up home with me

Caught the eldest eating chocolate on said new sofa.

 

Going to have a bath, dinner and then catch up with the last 2 eps of Luther and have some of the cheeky wine!

 . .. and watch BB at 9pm i hope !!!

x2 Solpadiene *yuk*

Aww, poor Rents

 

i have been for coffee with a friend and picked up all her windfall apples. Spent two hours peeling them. Have frozen them in small portions to have on my porridge for the next month!

 

then I made a HUGE pot of cauliflower, sweet potato and chick pea curry. TBH, it's a bit too hot. I'm going down town in a bit to get my eyebrows waxed (can't really see well enough to pluck them myself anymore, or maybe I am just too lazy!). Will whizz into the shop to get some plain yoghurt to take the heat out of the curry.

 

 

I'm going round Rexi's house

 

Today the car was MOT'd (again) and passed.

Front brake pads £52 - as a deal for messing me around with the MOT. 

Apart from all the usual stuff. I picked another load of brambles. Then I discovered the ones I picked the previous two days had gone mouldy. (We have no fridge/freezer at the moment. So I rushed out and bought a couple of lemons, scooped up some of our windfalls, and made 5.5 pounds of jam. It is cooling.

 

I have a fairly relaxed morning due to the fact that I was having a previous treatment of my root canal redone.

 

Did not eat all day. Just had soup.

Pruned me Bay Tree (again)

Looks tufty but it will grow

Played in the park with a nephew and niece, did a bit of shopping in Eastbourne(book and trousers) and went out to a restaurant with my parents and one of my sisters this evening! 

Yesterday, work all day then spent the evening fighting zombies 

 

Nice long sleep, slow exit from the bed.

 

Bathed and brushed up and ready for out.

 

Now going for a coffee and panini before the lunch crowd arrives (once I've got my table there's no moving me) 

Still no fridge freezer so I'm buying stuff as we need it. Going out on the bikes shortly.

Rode along the riverside into Newcastle and along the Quayside yesterday.

Twas glorious

I mowed our lawns, backed up iTunes and photos, went for a long bike ride, picked the youngest up from nursery, mowed my son's lawns, had us tea, and we are about to bath the youngest.

 

I have had one of those days where I have been battling to keep my eyes open, nearly falling asleep at my desk on at least two occasions. Thankfully there is a Costa across the road!

 

 

There I go again 

Kids to school, back to bed till 11. Got up to find there was a local powercut so back to bed til 12.  Got up and cleaned up, packed up some ebay stuff.  Collected youngest from school, went to post office and then did some day-to-day shopping.  Made 2 dinners (one for OH and youngest, one for me and the eldest), cleaned up, helped with homework and am now catching up on some Breaking Bad. 

Unscheduled freezer defrosting!

Worked bloody hard....again! My title is receptionist., but I'm actually receptionist/admin. I'm sick of running back and forwards to answer the video screen and actually answering the door for the company d/stairs cos they ring up on my number cos the company d/stairs don't answer their video phone 

I'd just like to know how many of our people d/stairs actually let in  

Sprout just let anyone in  (those asking for direction, waifs n strays etc.) and usher them throught to the d/stairs company.

Haha! ^^^^^

Today along with m'dear wife whose name escapes me, and mit the intention of hitting the charity ships damned hard, and to see my Mum, and meet some old friends, I returned to my hometown. Alas! It pissed down upon us, and the shops were full of disappointment. At least we ate well.

Work - slept - ate - back to peeps - back to work

Waited + waited for a Royal Mail redelivery which didn't come

I took the train from darlo to kings cross.
I had a chat with a gadjie from Bathgate.
I managed to get through the customs and searching.
Chatted up an Argentinian woman.
Got my last train at Brussels South station.
Booked into my best western hotel.
Ate veal escalope in liege town centre
I met a young woman whose body was burning
I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow
I met one man who was wounded in love
I met another man who was wounded and hatred
And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard
And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

Some of this isn't true but there's nowt on the tellybox.

Since you ask so nicely. Yesterday I made my way first class ( it worked out cheaper in advance) from liege to Hannover, spending a short time in Cologne. The Saturday afternoon match turned out to be a Friday night game so I've seen it. Try to imagine two opposing teams but both managed by Gus Poyet. Thus a slick passing game but players falling down for no apparent reason all over the pitch, and cheating even more than the Bavarians. When Hannover scored beer went flying and as a result I've just cycled to the wasch salon and back. I am now going for some food and then will probably cycle to the little town of Pattensen, home of the Arsenal defender Per Mertesacker.

Watched a "few" Judge Judy,s . Love that woman!
Plus an episode of Bonanza. For younger members dont ask ! 

I like her too 

 

Been to the fair with my daughter whose home from uni for the weekend, had a good laugh and won a box of quality street  she's gone back tonight with her friends 

Hosed out the wheely bin. It absolutely honked!  

LOL! Smelt/smelled. Could be a Geordie word again 

Honked - aint that universal?

Oh right. You mean another of your 'foreign' localisms?

Not down here Sainty

I grew up in Brum and i'm familiar with that term

I thought it was
