That sounds good.
I have had ham, cheese and chilli jam which is nice but that's a new one on me.

Hardly any wind here. Light rain but that's it.

I am going to have balti curry with chips

I stuck my pj’s back on after my bath earlier. No point getting dressed again when it’s like this.

Sounds like a good idea

The breeze is starting to pick up now, no rain as yet though.
Dinner is almost ready, roast chicken, roast potatoes and parsnips, mashed Swede, brussels, carrots and broccoli as MrsP doesn't like sprouts.

Always a good idea.
I mean suppose there was a knock on the door!

The persistent rain and wind is getting to me. garden is soggy everywhere with muddy puddles aplenty. The 2 dogs are picking their way gingerly around trying to avoid footbaths when I bring them out to do their business. Her indoors is gone away for 4 days to a meditation and yoga retreat and I have set about spring cleaning and clearing out rooms full of stuff which accumulated in house but should be in shed , etc. This winter has been an endurance test , I am totally knackered and stopping for a toasted cheese sambo and a giant mug of tea. " If Winter comes can Spring be far behind ?" .. YES it bloody well can !!

Afternoon all
Well, sailing went as planned . Four brave sailers decided to sail . One changed their mind on the slipway and three sailors started . We had five capsizes and had to do two rescues ( one after the race had finished ) and had two finishers.
Everyone said they enjoyed themselves so it was well worth the effort. 😀
Now sat drinking coffee and watching some cycling on the tv while I still can .

@Dave7 you'll be a happy boy then. 👍

Well that's Sunday lunch cooked whilst on crutches. MrsF has been out all day so has had lunch. Only me and daughter. I have finally perfected my Yorkshire Pud mix. Son went off in a huff as I asked him to check the oil, hoover and wash a car we lent him 3 weeks ago as his are broken. He didn't do any and drove off. The car was immaculate 3 weeks ago. It's now grey and like a dump inside. It was bright blue.

Time he moved out for this trainee pensioner.

MrsF is sort of semi retired. Packed in a job where the bosses were terrible and they messed up some HR issues so she walked with quite a few months pay a year ago. She's now happy working a day a week in a local fabric shop (pig in mud). Daft thing is, I'm having to plan my work leave around the day a week she's in work. They have to give a few months notice, where I can just say I'm having a few days off with very little notice.

Her indoors

Crikey! It's a long, long time since I heard that one.
