For once, I'm glad I.m not in France...

Just watching the opening stage of The Tour de France and the weather is, er, wet.

there's one cuts through a flower bed at the rear of our garden, all the cats gve it plenty of room.

What a day!

After 3 weeks without a phone or internet service my 86 year old mother finally got it sorted.

Despite several phone calls and trying to get things resolved with 'PLUSNET' (they advertised a good deal) who cut off her landline and then just...

...did nothing!

A quick call to her previous supplier, they're sending an engineer to fit her services, and 45 mins on the phone to +net she's now sorted.

Plusnet were absolutely useless at customer service, everything is done on line but without a computer how do you do anything?!!!

They have 'admitted' it was their fault and refunded an already taken charge and caqncelled the contract.

Oh the joys of internet services.

I think it's beer o'clock!

Sounds tasty Vic, I may give it a try.

Finally got the dodgy bread maker changed this week...

...a slightly more expensive one..

...and got to try it out quickly(?) this morning.

The results look a heck of a lot better than what I returned and actually taste good too.

One happy bunny, I might have a beer to celebrate.

Me leaving...

We met some friends from Bridlington on thursday, a halfway point was Castle Howard, North Yorkshire.

We sat between the cars and had a picnic in the sun, all allowed, and after a visit to the garden centre said our goodbyes and drove our seperate ways.

A good day, then Friday did a good impression of an incontinent dog!

It's now 8ish on a saturday that's forecast wet all day, and the suns shining!!

Defo too early for beer so strong coffee it is then before waking Mrs HG for breakfast. I know she'll be happier if the sun shines...

I know exactly what you mean.

We have to clear the spare rooms at Christmas when the kids come home..

..our room suddenly fills up with stuff we didn't know we had!

Although half the stuff in his old bedroom is now over clogging his house up

Honesty's stuff went years ago.

It seems like a lot of work at the time, but it's worth it just to have a house full of laughter for a few day.

Just for you Gwyn..

..spuggies is a good northern word for nearly all small brown birds but in particular sparrows.

KOID, why's your signiture gone russian?
