Good morning from a grey Bristol.
Yesterday was interesting. The plasterer didn’t come as advised (but as I expected), which was real annoying. This is the third no show. The contractors expect retirees to be sitting in front of daytime tv, in their shawl and slippers, knitting socks for the deserving poor. Ha!
The small residents’ meeting about the gardening was productive. There is no contract apparently, we are meeting the top contractor next week and wanted to establish what was needed/paid for.
Then the PCC was very productive. It rarely takes more than 1 hour, which is a blessing; the comments/discussions are brief and to the point.
Today, FAB cafe for which I made a lemon drizzle and shortbread while waiting for the plasterer. Also managed half my Spanish homework.
In the afternoon, I have a ladies guild meeting in the church hall. These ladies are mostly from the church , so I know them.
bellas, I hope your head had improved, and I was sorry about Alcaraz’ injury.😢
May all your troubles be lifted from you. 🐦‍🔥Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from a cloudy Sarthe. It is supposed to become warmer today but I’m not holding my breath!

How annoying regarding the plasterer, grandMattie! I’m glad you were as productive as ever whilst waiting.

Thank you for all the birthday messages. Yesterday was a quiet day although I enjoyed telephone calls from each of my three children, including my DD1 in Australia. My DS is going through a tough time with a break up from his girlfriend and forgot I was in France and had sent flowers to my Torquay address. Luckily, my lovely neighbour spotted them and will enjoy them. She has done a lot for me over the years especially last year when I was in hospital.

It’s a while since we’ve heard from Pantglas and madaleine; I do hope they are well.

Happy hump day!
