Prawn fish cakes with mushy peas for lunch

Well - dismantled the computer desk - which involved removing a lot of essentail computery stuff first and storing it properly
As an ex-IT technician I can gather a lot of essential bits quite easily - although I am not sure I will need the VHS video to PC cables any more - which might also mean I cam chuck the VHS player out
although if I do how log will it be before someone asks if I can transfer something important????

ANyway - that has to be put back together in the old garage/lounge

Then a new job cropped up yesterday evening
The telly in the bedroom was found half off the wall - top wall fixing - which should have been well strong enough - had pulled right out due to the "thingies in the back of it that stop it coming back out" broke
No idea why - but the grandkids were round overnight on Tuesday/Wednesday so I have suspicions

so that needs replacing

and probably bath night tonight - and no it isn;t my birthday!!!

Another short walk done. That’s 13.5 miles for the day so that’ll do me. It’s warm out now.

The Eagle has landed.

Oh.....and Yay! It's fish Friday..........however, I'm having a beef sandwich and chips in the Weavers.

Nah....modernised (tastefully) village pub with a good pint of Sandfords cider (7.4%).

We had some potatoes from the veggie patch the other day, and a couple of onions as well.

I love fresh green beans

I’ve only a very small patch.Made two raised beds which have been quite productive
Red onions Carrots cabbages.Lettuce and spring onions.Parsnips

I have room for another raised bed so will build another one for next year

Put a root of Rhubarb in which is showing promise.

Done the garden.

Gave the C70 a clean. It's a rare car anyway, and mine has the uber rare carbon fibre dash trim that is failing with age. Now begins the hunt for a replacement part, or scour ebay for a full set of wood trim (which I prefer anyway) and replace the lot.

Is it safe to assume you're all tucked up, in your own beds, by now. Ready for an early start to Saturday.

Nope, just finished a film on Amazon. Quick browse then hit the sack.
