Just wait until you retire, it goes even quicker
This week has absolutely flown by.
All I can remember is work work and some sleeping.
Your day sounds like a good day
I have about 5 years till I can retire and then I have a garage that needs sorting through

Had 3 magpies walking around the garden looking for food then I realised that I hadn't fed the birds yet , so they retreated to a neighboring house roof whilst I spread the food around and they have now come down to the garage roof looks like a juvenile and it's two parents

Little egrets didn't use to breed in the UK 30-odd years ago but they've become more and more widespread, especially in the south of England. Seeing them as far north as Chester indicates that they're doing pretty well. I gather they establish themselves alongside heron nesting sites. A birdwatcher I spoke to when a couple of little egrets appeared in Deptford Creek told me they were youngsters looking for feeding territories after being driven off their breeding grounds.

Blue sky with some fluffy clouds
First cuppa went down well
Looks like I got the wrong sausages out of the freezer last night 😔
I got regular ones instead of vegan ones

We had a busy day yesterday.
We went in and picked up our glasses yesterday and surprisingly they worked! My last pairs I hardly used as I couldn't get on with them. I have recently started to use them a bit more but they still didn't work right . Yesterday I popped on the new ones and things looked right from the beginning.
We then did a bit of charity shopping . My wife bought some knitting needles and I bought a pair of jeans. We then returned home for a bit of a rest.
At 11.30 we picked up my wife's friend and went to Malmesbury . Her daughter is in a care home and it is a long bus trip for an 80 year old. We dropped her off and went into Malmesbury to do some shopping.
We popped into the museum which has some nice exhibits, several are cycle related and then went for lunch in the cafe next door.
I found a nice 1/43 scale model of a Jaguar XJR9 in a toy shop and a cycling jacket thingy in a charity shop.
We picked my wife's friend up at 3.30 and came home . I had a nap when we got back .

Last night whilst I was putting out food for the Hedgehogs I heard what I thought was our neighbour watering their garden with a sprinkler. I continued with what I was doing . It was only when I went towards my garage that I saw what was making the noise . It was a split in one of our water butts. There was a jet of water spraying out over 6 feet! It was like a hose being sprayed . I then spent the next half hour emptying the butt and topping up our pond with 14 watering cans full of water. I think it must have been about 30 gallons.
My wife says that it is the newer ones which are splitting whilst the old ones are still fine .

Well yesterday was an interesting afternoon dog walk. About 1/2 way round I found a purse. Looked in it found every type of store card you can think of. A driving licence , NI card and over 100 quid, They lived miles away so not able to take it round. Luckily the bank card was a bank we still have a branch of. So handed it in at customer service. She’s taken my details so have to see what comes of it.

Good morning all from a still sunny & warm Suffolk. First cuppa of the day just finished and a quick bowl of porridge to be had shortly. All packed and ready to head off to the local station in about 3/4 of an hour.
Look out Yorkshire - here I come!
