I have the DVD, not watched it yet

It's a very good film. Enjoy.

Morning. I was awake at 4am but decided it was a bit too early and actually managed to doze off again.

The roads are damp after some overnight rain but it’s nice now and we have some blue sky and sun. I’ll get out soon.

I have risen!

Good morning all.
The overnight rain did not materialise, but it is just starting now.
Today is bin day, recycling and general rubbish, the first of them will be down soon.
MrsP is off to St. Albans with our daughter, her birthday present was a pregnancy bump massage, and as she has six weeks or so to go, MrsP and her are doing a bit of shopping and pampering.
That leaves me and the animals. If it rains as forecast I'll sort the Turbo up in the man cave.
Enjoy your day everyone

Every school holiday my SiL drops her three kids off at my In-laws to stopover for the week, including a fortnight in the summer hols!

I give the grandparents 10/10 for this. Perhaps they're younger than me? The most intense we usually have is Monday #1 and #2, then #1 sleepover, and #3 arrives Tuesday morning. This leaves me wiped out. We once had #2 for three nights, she was too young for this and desperately distressed. She basically screamed for the whole stay.

I think I could do a week on holiday with #1, she's 5½. A lot easier and has so many interests she's easily pleased.

Good morning. Rain, wet and cold. Good grief it was cold in our house last night! I need to inspect my water butts as I'm not convinced they're flowing as intended. This can really only be done when it's raining.......so.

Mrs P was out last night. I watched two episodes of "How to get to Heaven from Belfast." Quirky, a dark plot hiding somewhere, funny and all round a bit bonkers! Netflix. I recommend it.

#2 today so I'll head off to Manchester in an hour, just time for another coffee and Suduko.

Dogs walk, first spots of rain just as we arrived home.

Ironing day today.

Morning all.
Very soggy here.
It should be a chill day as I did have nothing to do but I stupidly told my family that I will make a chicken curry.... then found I didnt have enough chicken so have to nip to Aldi again.
