Tuesday 17th April. A grizzly day

Tuesday morning, the dishwasher is washing, the bins need emptying, the dogs need walking and its a grizzly day. Decision time. Shall I wait around until Accuweather says it will cheer up? It looks like I may have a dryish slot between 11.00 and 12.00 and then 2pm until 6pm’ish.
I think I had better go for the early one, if it develops, and if not I still have the opportunity/chance of the afternoon slot…
Biggest decision today, What to eat this evening…

Samson is 5 today

Samson (Mr Ben 10 and my step grandson (I think thats right)) is 5 today and I think in Athens with the family. I find myself wishing I were there to give him a hug and share having his 5th birthday. I sort of remember being 5 but most of it I seem to have blocked out, probably due to the unhappiness and tension in our house. I could ramble on about that but this probably isn’t the time or place, so

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 
SAMSON JACK

Brilliant Morning

I am sitting in our kitchen looking out at the bird feeders and am amazed how beautiful it is. The sky is crystal clear and a lovely blue,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but the lawn is white with frost and my phone tells me it is just above freezing, and as I type that the boiler kicks in to burn even more oils and pump warmth around the house.

More later

Dinner with Neighbours

We had dinner at Liz and Pete Gidlows this evening. Peter and Carol were also there, so as a 6 we had a good mix. As  you know I had a molar out earlier in the day and had a nap in the afternoon but felt well enough to go to dinner, if I was a little subdued. Pete and Carol were on good form and we had a lovely meal. Angie and I left at around 11.00 as we felt we should come home and see the dogs.
