Woke up to bright sunshine and a cloudless sky. We have a weekly Veg box from a company called Able and Cole, we used to use Riverford but they got too big and the quality and value really suffered. With Able and Cole everything is of very good quality and well presented. They also do stuff like bread flour which is no more expensive than buying it from the Supermarkets. Anyway, I digress, it would seem that it has been a year since we started the veg box and todays delivery contained an extra bag. Inside was a hardback recipe book, two cans of organic soft drinks, a weekly meal planner and a Packet of Scottish shortbread 😋

Mrs Tenkaykev and I be catching the train later, we're heading off to a village Pub, the Black Bear in Wool. Big beer garden and a good selection of beers ( it's a Camra Pub ) Our friend who booked it said that the landlady said she has blankets if it gets cold, the weather is forecast to reach a heady 12 degrees and sunny. They do veggie / vegan meals as well. It will be a good way to celebrate our 25th Wedding anniversary, we were originally going to organise a wedding reunion but the current circumstances rule that out.

As an aside, I was escorted to the Wedding room by armed Police officers ( and no, it wasn't to prevent me getting cold feet and legging it 😁)

It takes my breath away. We know some nice chalets for let in Eskdale, bottom of Hardknott as it happens 🤔, and three out of four show as available end of April. They're literally next door to each other and it was ideal for us and two sets of friends to rent one each for three nights and go walking.

Email the proprietor to book and the response is "sorry, chalets unavailable as we can't get a cleaner." We know the owner lives on site.

Twelve months of the hospitality industry pleading to reopen and this guy has turned down a £900 booking because he can't get a cleaner. shoot I'd do it myself in his position. That £900 is straight to his bottom line.

Unbelievable...........that and I'm a bit peeved the planned assault on Hardknott I've been dreaming of for 24 hours is out of the window.

Really though. It's quite astonishing to be turned away like this.

Thats bonkers, in his position I'd roll up my sleeves and clean the chalets myself to get the booking.

Back from the pre-op. We were due to go back on Thursday to see the anaesthetist but she happened be around so fitted her in.......saves us a 25 mile round trip.
MrsD was asking why she can't have lumpectomy and the answer is.......she had that same op' 25 years ago and they cannot give radio therapy in the same area twice in your life.
Op' looks like it will be in 2 weeks time.
