Sunny morning two lots of washing hung out and the sofa cover restretched, clearly was not right at one end underneath. Three shops yesterday and forgot to get any bananas so pondering where will be best to go for them.

Noticed I got the comment about lambs in the field opposite slightly wrong. It is in fact twins which probably explains why they are slightly small.
Had an early lunch and had what Lidl described as “ chip shop pies”. They must be based on the ones kept for the drunks as my only comment is. Yuck. No taste whatsoever so no idea what they contained. Never again.

I've just got home having been caught up in the classic vehicle run. The prize for the dullest (but probably the rarest) car seen must go to a 'G' registration Citroen GS.

Foot report:

-bloody sore, but not broken. I'm hobbling about OK this morning in loose-fitting soft shoes.......the very same ones which didn't protect me when I knocked the sash cramp off my bench onto my foot last night.

Egg report:

-2 eggs successfuly collected. The third was eaten by the white hen chicken which laid it. It's been read the Riot Act, shown the hatchet, and been given a final official warning. Unfortunately, it knows I'm bluffing.

As an aside, did you know that chickens have better colour vision than we do?

Wouldn't that depend on whether you were coming or going?

I generally don't know that at the best of times...

The banana hunt turned into a 3.8 mile walk with 355ft of climbing as I did not feel like cycling. Local Co-op was full of very green ones so gift card free ones from the town centre M&S
Refuelling by way of a mug of tea and an iced bun.

Saw someone on Thursday who said I've not changed since he last saw me. And that he never forgets a face.


We last saw each other in 1972.

They're getting harder find these days. Especially decent sized ones.

Foot Report
Good to hear its just sore, not broken.
Did you know that 25.24% of the bones in your body are in your feet?

Egg Report
Not so good. Three chickens* and only two eggs.
Obtain a recording of a chicken squawking in distress. Remove one bird and place away from the other two. Then play the recording, ending it with you hitting a block of wood with the aforementioned hatchet(hand axe).

Did you know rose tinted glasses were invented to stop chickens seeing blood, and keep them from attacking another bird because they saw blood on them.


*One of which just happens to be a cannibal!

No news, but is that good news!

Four, I'm afraid. They're only 2 years old, and we haven't had 4 eggs from them in a day this year.

Pooch is fine. She's guarding the workshop. She ran away when a bumblebee came in, but she's back on patrol now so she thinks she's been forgiven.
