Morning. Another dry but cool start for us. I know it’s Sunday but I’m getting my hair cut at 9am. My hairdresser was off sick for a week so sometimes works Sundays to catch up and fit people in.

Good morning folks. Had Pizza and salad for tea last night. Mrs Tkk visited the local Mini Morrisons and there was one of their " premium " Pizzas on yellow sticker for £2.50. Sun dried tomato and Mozzarella 😎 it wouldn't scan so the lady said she could have it for a quid😄
Managed to inveigle myself between the back of the shed and the fence where I cut a hole for a " Hedgehog highway 🦔🦔. I have put in an order for a hedgehog house from a friend who volunteers at the hedgehog rescue, and set up a repurposed security camera to monitor the area.

I have risen!
Good morning all.
It's drizzling outside at the moment.
We're meeting up at a place called Wormley, on the River Lea, with a couple of friends and their dog for a walk along the river bank. I'm sure lunch will be had in one of the many riverside pubs on the way.

I have a pal coming this morning. He is staying for a couple of days; he was my apprentice at my last job, which was 48 years ago when I started my own business left the garage I had worked at and came and worked for me. Two of my kids are coming over with their far better halves to see him and have a bit of tea/ booze, I have booked us in the local pub for Sunday lunch, I have not eaten in there for over twenty years, I hope it has improved, anything else worth going to is ten miles away, we intend to get healthily merry.

A lot of brits are moving over there permanently. The weather is better, the people are nice, and the health care is a lot better as well. A lot more will be moving there after the election.
Looks nice.
I’ve seen lots an overweight older white western men with young Thai women, all a bit seedy.
Gary Glitter liked Thailand.........

We have the oldest 2 grand kids over night
More complicated than usual because the 7 year old - who is a little bit autistic (plus other stuff) has gone from refusing to have any breakfast
to now having to have 2 sausages and 2 rashers of bacon (plus Ketchup - he isn;t that weird) every day
luckily we had some sausages in the freezer so defrosted them last night
the oldest decided she needed a sort of bacon sandwich with extra sausage as well
I am however, rather worried about her - she wanted it with BROWN sauce
I think it may be genetic because SWMBO has bacon and sausages sandwiches with brown sauce
but it is still just plain wrong
Still - never mind - after tonight we will be better off as we are very likely to win the Omaze house this time- been sending them money for MONTHS now so it MUST be our turn to win
not sure if we should move to Surrey or just go there for an extended holiday and sell it
certainly don;t wnat to win next month as the house looks horrible - all floor to ceiling windows and it's in London!!!!
anyway - better kick the kids into some clothes before the parents turn up and think they like coming here becsause I am soft on them
(actually they never put a foot out of line because we are quite strict - but do it differently and don;t shout)
maybe drag them out for a walk bear spotting
there are a lot of bears around here - often at the end of a lead with someone holding them
I generally ask the kids to check if might be a dog
the 7 year old is starting to get too old for that - but due to his problems he is still OK with it
their younger brother loves it - although he does worry about the bears at time
anyway - better stop woffling and get something done
