I painted the kitchen ceiling this lunchtime. I doubt the walls will get done until next week.

Very small ceiling or a long lunch break? 😁

Yeap two that annoy me.....

Nationwide in not doing ok.

And Gina menopause medicine.

It's the Vodfone adverts on the radio that get me, that woman's voice is so annoying.

I take my hat off to anyone who does that sort of thing; done several stints sorting out charity donations over the years, and yeah, the sort of stuff people deem fit to stick in among that lot...

Other than paper and cardboard, anything that goes into my recycling wheelie bin gets thoroughly washed. Which reminds, it's the blue recycling bin for collection here this week, but haven't bothered putting it out. Likewise the black bag.

Your bin men must get very frustrated with you, coming all the way out into the sticks to find you haven't put your bin out.

Saw an ad. telling us the local farm shop was restocked with all kinds of meat products.
The entrance road has a 10 mph speed restriction but anything over very slow walking pace is chancing damage to a car even tho’ mine is a bit higher than most and you have no idea how deep the potholes are.
The cafe is shut and the shop is self service but easy enough once you have cracked the system. Problem is the fridge holding all the meat products was locked or else I was just being a bit more thicko than usual but I could not get into the bl——y thing.
Nobody to be found to ask as those doing the renovations had all gone off for a tea break.

I ran and swam today. And bought electric blankets from Lidl. I think we might need to put an extra sheet between the blanket and the sheet.

And it is not blue bin day tomorrow, despite my best efforts.

Had a gammon & mustard sandwich for luncheon, along with a banana, some pineapple and two

Then made a big pot of leek & potato soup.

After, I spent some time working on the Higman model, untangling a mistake I made unwittingly last night. Well, it wasn't exactly a mistake, more that it's not always easy to see some of the detail on not-so-great 38 year old photos.

Now sat watching the news on BBC1 and supping on a

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I'm starving, only had a small tuna and cucumber roll today. Madame Fondo is making homemade burgers, and I could hoover three down.
