You can keep it thanks!
I am full up after having granola with banana and a large mug of decaf tea so I'm off to the supermarket while I'm not hungry in the hope that I won't buy crap!

Good morning from a glorious Lancashire autumn morning. Hope it stays like this till tomorrow. My day so far has revolved around traffic jams on the M65 and the biggest snot explosion I've ever seen.......I've spoken to small one about this. Mind you I still have two loads on the line, made Red Hot Beef for tea and done some other stuff. Small one has gone swimming with Mrs P so I have toast, marmalade and coffee. Very satisfactory. My boys at home to Watford tonight and I'm really looking forward to this.
Spotted the offending object in my Kinesis front tyre when I went to get the car out of the garage. Removed it, spun the wheel a few times and all good.........I do love tubeless tyres.
On a more sombre note I reckon our next door neighbours have split. Mrs Neighbour hasn't been seen for weeks, car not around and Mr Neighbour is doing all sorts of stuff I've never seen him do before, hanging washing out......I had to show him the hole in the lawn where his whirly gig thing fits - supermarket run, grass cutting etc. Not really surprising Mrs N isn't around! Also heard a friend of 40 years, we knew he had Alzheimer's, has gone into a home. This is truly mind-blowing, someone we partied hard with, did all the football banter, round to dinner, baby sitting circle, etc. It just doesn't happen but it has.

We've had a friend pop round this morning, she's round to see us most Tuesdays but has missed the last couple of week due to a family holiday, after a short gossip I grabbed the car keys , left the ladies to have a gossip and visited a favourite garden centre, Hilltop, had a coffee and something to eat then had a wander round and spotted they had pansy's at 40 for 12 quid, two packs, I needed Pansy's but not quite that many but brought a couple of packs and a pack of compost. I spent the afternoon in the garden, the tired old summer bedding has been removed and replaced with Pansy's both in the ground and in our pots, I've also moved a couple of Fuchsias, the small one has gone into a pot and the bigger one that was being bullied by the big Salvia has been moved to another spot in the garden.

I have a confession to make. I am a bad person. There was a couple on the next street where the wife sadly developed dementia so Douglas used to ask me in for a chat as Shona enjoyed it. Sadly she died several months ago but he still watches for me passing and shouts me in occasionally. Afraid I pretended I didn’t see him gesticulating to come in on my way home as I really couldn’t be bothered. He can be a bit of a moan and doesn’t have a lot nice to say about people at times. Even when Shona was alive I used to make a point of talking to her and trying to include her in the conversation but he always seemed to take over.

I would imagine that now he's on his own he's lonely and needs someone to talk to.

I will go another time. Just couldn’t face it today. You’ve made me feel guilty now.
Sorry.
