I think he must like to spread out a bit.

I knew he was Elvis.

A trip to B&Q beckons today after The Archers.

Why? Do you need to fill the holes they have left you with.

Sat in the posh tea room at the Heart Of The Shires Norton with posh beans on toast and a coffee

Excellent cookshop there

I tried as a teenager and it always went very bad.... I hate the hairdressers and leave big gaps in between each visit.

I don't like having my hair cut but after a while I start to look like cousin it.

Just done a gentle steady 10K run along the NCR5 Abingdon to Radley and back.
Very pleasant out there.

This morning I sent a very dubious character packing with a flea in his ear

I was weeding in the front garden when a nondescript white van pulled up and 2 guys hopped out and started chatting to my neighbour about his guttering, offering to clean it. One guy then wandered over to me, smilled and said 'hello there me darlin' I replied no thank you 'oh, why won't ya let me clean your guttering? I asked for his company name, he gave me a name, I then asked for id, company info-letterhead-written quotation, he then smilled and said ' I tell ya what me darlin' I told him not to call me that because it is very patronising, he replied we will leave it there, yes we will. Slimey pile of dodgy ******

My neighbour on the other hand has agreed to let 1 of them clean his guttering-with a rag . I thought he was smarter than that tbh.

I found out today (as if I didn't know) that the Cowboys that did our roof in the winter storm did an appalling job! But next door's brother (he previously pointed our joint chimney), is hopefully going to recommend someone to sort it out!

 

[Lullabelle]

We never entertain anyone who just turns up at the door, we prefer to go on reccomendation if possible but it is a bit if a minefield out there regarding tradesmen.

I have ABBA singing away in my head. Is this a medical complaint?

Mrs MY was complaining of that the other day. I was unsympathetic, she'd been watching Mamma Mia.

I need to walk the dog while the sun's shining but my belly has just reminded me that I've not had breakfast.

Apparently if you take exercise before breakfast you lose more weight.



Even if I believed it I don't think I could.

I think he must like to spread out a bit.

Except in his white trousers.

I don't like having my hair cut but after a while I start to look like cousin it.

If I were not a gentleman I'd tell you that you'd left yourself open there.

I've just been to my daughter's wedding. No photos yet (left it to the professionals) but she looked beautiful, the venue and their food was excellent (even their scrambled egg this morning!). And I've just driven a car back with the occupants' combined ages of over 310 years. This was the view from my bedroom...

I skipped breakfast this morning, mind you I didn't get up to 11:30 after not going to bed until 03:00 (bloody Olympics!)

As a homage to the Hobbits, time for second dinner
