The only blue bin we have is for paper.

Cargo aircraft from Chengdu to Bournemouth has just flown overhead. A couple of dozen white doves are circling and the sun is breaking through patches in the clouds.
Off for a run soon, this afternoon I see my new consultant at Poole Hospital, I'll walk back around the bay on the way home.

Currently sat in hossy and wishing I'd had a forest gump before leaving.

the dog has been walked, and I am now off to the high road to get MrsP some flowers. I'll hide them until tomorrow morning and give them to her with her pressies. I have booked a table for lunch at a local pub that does really good food, and ale.
She is out for most of tomorrow so I'm getting in early. The kids are treating us tomorrow evening though, as it is my birthday on Sunday as well. I'll be a fully paid up pensioner. State pension and freedom bus pass.🤔

Eldest grandson was 15 on Monday last.

It got me thinking about what 15 year olds may get unto these days, for fun/mischief.

I know that at 15, I had a newspaper delivery round. Myself and a pal cycled on Sundays, maybe 50-60 mile outings into the surrounding Countryside. Less wholesome pass-times were smoking, drinking, and associating with a couple of young ladies of similar age, and, shall we say, a generous nature/easy virtue.

I did ask grandson, but, he claimed that he, and his pals "did nothing", but, I suppose he is hardly likely to own up to me is he?, the 15 year old me wouldn't have

I've cut the lawns, planted the rest of my taters and tidied my #1 greenhouse.
MrsD's been busy planting stuff.

Right! Off down to the Bell for lunch now.

Has your wife seen a Doctor about that growth on her forehead ? Looks serious to me.

Afternoon you lot. We had sausage sandwiches. It's gone a bit cool here now.

 

[numbnuts]

I'm shocked
shocked I tell you

Cottage pie is made from beef

if you use lamb then it is shephard's pie

No idea about it with chicken
do we go after the place - or the worker who looks after them

so either hutch pie - or
dunno - what is the equivalent of shepherd for chickens???

I wonder about these things
