...OOPS! Nearly Forgot Dave's Birthday...

outside temp:  9c
sunny, hunny - sunny

Oops, it's Dave's 55th birthday tomorrow and I almost forgot! 

--------

 I remembered to remind the boys a couple of weeks ago 

- which as good sons should, already knew -

and then it just went right out of my head .........until the middle of last night  

--  when in it popped again!!  --

so now I have to rush into town and get a present/card sorted, which is a pain as I had other plans for today!

___________________

Mind you, perhaps I could just make a card and find a discarded 'something or other' that is suitable?

-------------------

YEA!  that's definitely a plan - I'll go and look for something now!

......Happy Saturday - Hope You Enjoy It...

outside temp:  12c
dull - no wind

Another Saturday all ready - boy, where do the weeks go? 

Dave's fishing this morning and I'm sitting here psyching myself up to go and have a shower :) 

 I don't know why it always takes me a while to 'get in the mood' to have one and then once I'm in I just don't want to leave the comfort of that lovely warm water.

...is it just me or is everyone like that...??? 

(just me, I suspect!)

While I've been sitting here though I've been watching the birds in the garden, Spring really must be here because there's a lot of activity going on - I've seen a blackbird in and out of the tree with all sorts of nest building materials.

There's a couple of jackdaws on the bird house - I like jackdaws but they are bullies! The green finches have been on the feeders - they seem to like the niger seeds best - and a male  pheasant has just strided into the garden making calling sounds 

- he's obviously 'on the pull' -

 typical man just thinks he's got to turn up and the ladies will come running :D

...Happy Saturday - Hope You Enjoy It...

...I Love A Wedding...

outside temp:  7c
dry but dull

I love a wedding - all that dressing up is such fun - and this year we have two to look forward to.  Our baby boy, Tom is getting hitched to his long-term girlfriend, Danielle (they've been together nearly 11 years) - in August - 

I'm SoO looking forward to it and have already bought my dress, shoes & bag

...I'm still looking for my Audrey Hepburn hat though... :(  

but there's still plenty of time.

And we've had a phone call from....sorry I can't tell you yet... it's all very hush hush and not for publication just yet :)

However I can say that it's happening this month!

which R E A L L Y  doesn't leave me very long

 to get another outfit sorted now does it??

...Yummy Pancakes...

outside temp:  11c
sunshine again!

...have you gorged on your pancakes yet...??

We are just about to make ours - once Dave comes in from the garage, that is -  I love pancakes best, when they are hot and covered in lemon juice & caster sugar 

-  Y U M M Y  - 

I can taste them already

_________________

I've always made the batter up and Dave's always cooked them 

- I don't know why really - but ever since the boys were little it was always Dave that cooked them - and then once they are all gobbled up and we have finished scraping our plates

  --  we'll tidy everything away until next year  --

_______________________

...because even though we love them we never, ever think about having them at any other time except Pancake Day - I Wonder Why...

...No Free Prescriptions, Then...???

outside temp:  7c
lovely & sunny all day

I've been told this morning,  after having three more blood tests, that they were all inconclusive and I'm still not a 'full blown' diabetic  

--  A G A I N  --

this has happened every year for the past 12 years or so. The first one is always high but the next couple are way down so I'm still being classed as 'borderline'

I really shouldn't be surprised but I was really hoping for 

FREE PRESCRIPTIONS 

this year :)

...Happy Birthday, Home...

outside temp:  6c
tiny, tiny bit of sun

It's three years to the day that we moved here and to be honest it wasn't suppose to be a permanent arrangement 

--  the idea was get in - do it up - move onto the next 'project'  --

but then the 'housing thing' arrived and we felt stuck, so we both got jobs to 'tied us over' and here we are three years on and still here

-and to be honest it was one of the best decision we've made-

people say that things happen for a reason & in this case they were right

...ABSO-BLOOMING-LUTELY...

...Now That's What I Call Snow...

I'll never complain about having to clear

the snow from the path again!
