We bought 8 tea spoons from Asda. We now have 14 all together , so they should last a while.
Tomorrow lunch time, we are having our first line dancing lesson but to be fair, I think it may be too much for Mrs G and to be honest, it won't bother me as I am no dancer . We shall see.
Tomorrow night we are going out for a meal with friends who came down from York yesterday, so a busy day ahead .

Afternoon all . It’s been nice day here in Coventry . Havnt done much today other than take the daughter to another job interview, which took a lot longer than was expected, hopefully this is a good sign .
With all this talk of Anglesey, what’s the best place on the island to go for a day out ? We are going to Llandudno for for a few days around my birthday in early November and where thinking of visiting the island ( if the weather is ok of course ) .

And yes I do know doing to north wales in November is not the most sensible decision we have ever made . 😂😀

Do you lose a lot of spoons ? Most people just lose their marbles 😂😂😀

Trearddur Bay ( not sure about the spelling) near Holyhead with a nice restaurant called Sea Shanty and South Stark light house close by.

Fountains Abbey was always on our 'to do' list, sadly it never got ticked off.

Came here as a child with my Father who was a history teacher (Shame he wasn’t with us today, he’d have brought it all to life) also went last year. Probably my favourite NT it’s just spectacular.

Started young, and still going.

Barnet,
😡 the car is playing up, it started today when accelerating away. It is either a fuel or ignition fault. It jerks and is not smooth as it was yesterday.
Just when we really need it as our daughter is moving house next week and we need to use the car to get there.
The garage we use is fully booked and can't see it until next Wednesday.
It does still go, but I am a bit reticent to go far in it incase it gives up altogether.
