Good morning everyone, Yay! it’s the weekend. Time for the workers to have fun and frolics.
Spend the morning dismantling the carbi on my Whipper Snipper, washed everything in petrol, reassembled it, tried it and all is well. Started first go so I went round the garden tidying up the edges of the path etc. Was very happy, I think if I took it to the mower place I could have bought a battery one for about the same or less than they charge, they are only $129 in Bunnings including a battery and charger…
Annoyingly just the tool by itself is $116, only $13 more for the battery and charger??
Apart from that not much has happened to me, enjoyed sitting in the garden, tidied up the garage a bit (no need to get too carried away) and generally messed about outside in the sunshine.
Not a fantastic amount going on here in the deepest darkest part of southern Hampshire. Mrs G wants me to drive all the way up to northern Hampshire to a shopping centre, as she has seen an advert for some of the latest Swarovski Christmas ornaments she wants to have a look at, which I agreed to based on a promise she has to buy breakfast and coffees on the way. Besides, there is a HMV store there where I’m on the lookout for some CD’s I’m after.
Normally at this time of year we would be going to a county show in Dorset, but for some reason, neither of us could be bothered, so we’ll be giving it a miss this year. Besides, ticket prices have gone way up and we’re are going to another one next week which is more local.
That’s probably enough of my ramblings for today…wishing everyone a great day.
A big new LIDL supermarket opened in Burnley a couple of days ago
Unsurprisingly I’ve heard it’s very busy at the moment as people see what it’s like, and there are several introductory offers
I’ll go there next week when perhaps it will be quieter
However I will be doing some shopping this morning -
There is a small Iceland supermarket near me, and I’ll get just enough milk & other food for the weekend
On the opposite side of the road there is a DIY shop, and I’ll get some linseed oil
My journey to & from Iceland takes me past a local general store which has a post office counter so I’ll get some stamps as there are a few family & friend’s birthdays later this month & October
There is a craft & food fair/market in the town centre today
I’ve been to these sort of things in the past and thought they were overrated -
I don’t do crafty nick - nacks
A lot of the food is cakes & confectionary, which I don’t buy as I’m a diabetic; although they do sell meat pies and so on
Though I might just have a look in this afternoon as not much else happens in Burnley
The meet up with the girls on Thursday was great fun – except it appears I am the oldest member of the group! I stated that meant they had to show me respect – they all disagreed, loudly!
Received some lovely news – one of my nieces in Australia has got engaged. She and her boyfriend have lived together for several years so not before time!
My neighbours rang from Spain, they contacted the cattery who said the beast has settled into her place there. Still doesn’t stop me feeling guilty. The weather there is very hot and due to get hotter – told them not to gloat
Decided to get the bus into the city yesterday – that was a mistake. After 2 hours of walking around my knees were on fire! However, I refuse to allow one malfunctioning body part to stop me doing what I want!
Plans for the day are to batch cook a casserole to restock the freezer, plus some shopping for fresh fruit and veggies and a little light housework.
Morning Guy’s and Gal’s just time to look in before zooming off to a faraway garden centre for lunch. Busy afternoon for Mrs Fox because she has to make sandwiches for all the family visiting later. I’ll do some butter spreading for her…
Managed to get a rail up in Mrs Fox’s new wardrobe and already the spare room is looking tidier. It looked more like a charity shop these past few months…
Good Afternoon People,a dullish dry one here,but managed to get the front,side,and back grass cut,so sitting having a nice cuppa coffee and a Tuna sandwich…Have a great Weekend All and don’t do anything naughty
Good afternoon everyone, enjoying my after-lunch rest after lots of walking in town this morning. I went quite early when it was still nice and cool, visited the other museums with my special “combined ticket” and it was extremely hot walking back to the car! Wow, there’s a big difference now in morning/evening temps compared to afternoon temperatures which are still in 30s!
Bought a new pair of memory sole slippers this morning, they are so comfortable and they really work, I walked into the kitchen and I knew why.
I shall get another pair, just in case they get filled up with memories and stop working.
