I spent 4 hours at the local churchyard, was quite humid,  sun just came out now and again, it was ideal in  my opinion even though I was glowing,  I had put out a request for helpers to tidy up the churchyard, pleased to say 6 of the helpers are villagers and not church goers, but you never know.

Gillg, are you left or right handed?

Nice to hear from you TY

Have a good weekend folks

Well given the dire warnings yesterday of hot weather today —- cold ,grey and wet here!
I had a thick cardigan on this morning  but  warmer  now with some sunshine.

Captain Sir Tom rose full of blooms , it really has come back thanks to “ Top Rose”  plant food.
My son took a cutting from the lovely “ Queen Elizabeth “ roses in his garden.
They have been neglected but were lovely nevertheless .
He wants to get rid of them so took the cutting as a little memory of my lovely neighbour .
It is growing O.K. Still in a plant pot .

Well a chicken curry made but son returns tomorrow, also have a big piece of salmon , we will see how hungry he is after a long drive home .

Well some filing to do, bank statements etc and the receipt for the Ground rent.
The staggering amount of £2-25 ,each year!
Such rents are very prevalent up North, small sums but need to be paid .
The land houses are built on does not get sold even after houses are built on
it.Much hereabouts now belongs to Peel  Holdings .

Well it is considerably warmer now than this morning .
Very pleasant .

Just cleaned the stairs,my what a fiddle fiddle with the lift which of course creates static electricity ,need another gadget for the vacuum .
 I have a few from old vacuums ,one might get in all the corners.
Never throw anything away!

Well ,hope those unwell are alright, it is no joke being in pain and discomfort for most of the time ,life is difficult enough in our later years without constant
pain.

Cheerio, I miss The 1% club ,enjoyed the brain teasers .

Viktoria.

My old house in North Somerset was in a terrace of 4 houses.
A "Farmer's Compensation Fee" of £5 had to be paid by the four houses £1.25p each! Or 25 shillings in old money.

Just watching the programme about Diana’s wedding dress———
What a horrible over fussy mess it was,all creased ,not really her style at all, it looked like something worn in the time of Charles the second.
I liked  Princess Anne’s ,the sleeves were so lovely.

Well Tesco order all away ,two omissions and the Uncle Ben’s rice I ordered is pre cooked in sachets , not the dry boxed sort I ordered.
Not as efficient as it usually is.

Son back tomorrow.

Hope no one was seriously affected by the forecast of extreme temperatures .

Well bed calls.Night night .
