[Gravity Aided]

Last year we bought some marigolds from ALDI, very cheap but looked lovely for a long time.

They always do. I was born at Pekin, Illinois, home of the Marigold Festival. There is a big festival every year, during which little work gets done.(Because of the Medallion Hunt) Unless you have craft stalls in the park, or down to the river.

Morning, it is light pinkish grey at the moment, I don't think the sun has got up yet.

Of all the time and places for the fairies to visit was whilst I was at the model railway exhibition so what I saw or managed to take in was a bit sketchy, I did however see a couple of layouts which were really good. One in particular was one of the Black Country area which had a panoramic background which was made up of a lot of pictures sewn together. One of the members explained how all of the modern signs and buildings had to be edited out to produce a period picture. I found it quite relaxing just looking at the background with a bit of rail activity going on in the foreground.

Been sat indoors feeling sorry for myself. Sinusitis has flared up and my face feels like it's been kicked by the entire field of the Grand National.

On the plus side, I picked the first, fourth and sixth horses home. I'm a Pipe / Scudamore / Twiston-Davies kinda gal.

Now sat down with some supper and watching the Masters.

Its Palmers in Enderby by the Police HQ. Before 10am they do a roll with any three fillings and a hot drink for £3.75. An absolute bargain.

And you chose to have a burger in yours?

It's pretty much all over. You'll be telling us next that your garden centres don't even have Cotton Traders outlets.

The one nearer Aylesbury has, local ones do not. South of St Albans there's a GC with an excellent cafe.

What a beautiful spring morning, we're off to Bradgate Park to climb the hill and bother the deer.

I'm writing and sending some bills for the first time since last December, then off to watch the footie, followed by the cinema (Paterson, again). Beautiful day here.

Our laptop had an upgrade thingy yesterday which took an age, it then took another decade to boot up in which time it kept telling how marvelous the new updates would be. I just wished it would get on and do it. I wish there was some way of giving them some feedback, I mean earful !

Cycling from Whistable to Deal with @Hill Wimp and @User21629 yesterday we stopped to partake if some nature and I spyed this bird and photograped it:

Now my live-in twitcher Wimpers tells me it's a 'Mundane bird', but I still reckon it's a Meadow Pippit.
Can anyone help settle this dispute? It was seperate beds for us last night. Anyhow, I've no egrets about taking the photo....

Yes the lesser spotted warthog snorer seemed to have moved in

You gonna have a go at building one?

Yes! I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures. We had our loft boarded out especially so that I could build one up there but it is used as storage whilst I get on and finish doing jobs around the house, one of which is a new bath and stuff.
I have got a load of OO and N gauge in boxes up there somewhere.

Do you know just how difficult it is to look busy?

Some of us have made a career out of it

Now chilling in the garden.
