Picked up my shopping buddy at 8 am and Aldi was really pleasant to shop in. Had to go to Tesco as well to get Christmas cards, Aldi seem to have stopped selling them.
Watching the rugby on my own this afternoon, not as much fun as with the family. Still they’ve done one week of isolation and everyone is still well. That’s all that matters.
What a lovely day. Suddenly decided to go over and have a coffee with youngest son. His partner was out running, but she came in after a bit and then the granddaughter turned up. So we all went for lunch at the pub. Very nice it was too.
Had a lovely surprise on Friday-son no2 turned up.He had a story read why he was crossing into Wales-his mam was on her own and she was depressed! Had a nice couple of days with him.He’ll be able to come legally for Christmas.
Phew! Had to move out of the conservatory for a few minutes to cool down!
Strange thing happened yesterday. Delivery from DPD with a parcel from Amazon. Had to provide two items to prove my identity before he would give it to me. I wouldn’t say anything if it was worth hundreds of pounds but it was only two packets of toe protectors for Rob!
Horrible driving conditions this morning-the roads were wet and the sun was low and the road surface was so shiny.
Can’t park outside my house yesterday or today there’s temporary traffic lights outside the house a few doors away-workmen digging a trench to put new broadband box thingy.
Hope they finish today.
Stay safe.
Lovely day here. Agency head honcho has been here all morning, plus District Nurse and now the fellow who does Rob’s exercises (he’s an osteopath, but a personal friend so has been trying to loosen Rob up for years). We were doing quite well until lockdown, but hope to get back on track because Rob was very stiff when he came out of hospital.
Took to car to the garage in Builth first thing to investigate a ?bolt stuck in the rear tyre and a mysterious rattle from the back. Turned out the ?bolt was the head of a screw just stuck in the tread, no problem. I’d had a sudden thought and taken everything out of the boot except shopping bags (i.e. everything that could rattle) - that cured the rattle! Glorious sunshine up here, fog and mist all through the valley to Builth. So glad I don’t live in a hole!
Heavy frost this morning-dog enjoyed rolling on the grass.
Had a new wooden gate put up yesterday.Pleased with the job they did,trouble is it needs painting-might start doing it today or might not!
A lovely Christmas tree in the church grounds opposite was lit up for the first time last night.Lots of houses have already put up their decorations.I think it’s too soon yet.
Stay safe.
Seems to be the thing to do, put the Christmas decorations up! I 'm resisting at least until December. But I did clean the brass this morning. Big event, don’t know when it was last done. Next effort will be Granny’s silver tray that the glasses stand on. For all the use they have these days I might just as well put them in the cupboard…
Back to the rain today.
Did start to paint the new gate yesterday afternoon but didn’t finish it,I was starting to feel the cold so I stopped!Will do the rest the next dry day we have.
No plans this weekend.Will watch the rugby this afternoon,the hwyl has gone from the game and it’s not the same without the crowd there.
Stay safe.
Wow! Congratulations Great Great Granny. Love the name.
Popped down to Hay this morning for some milk and a paper and got really cold - and wet. Put the heating back on as soon as I arrived home, had a hot cup of tea and read the paper a bit. Feeling better now.
Going to watch the rugby on S4C later, but it’s now the same playing in an empty stadium. The players must miss the fans and the singing.
Very foggy first thing sun trying to break through now.
Got the kitchen mats in the wash,what excitement!
The less said about the match the better.
Stay safe.
Some nice sunshine here.
