Well, not anymore as G has arrived home from work & mown the lawns.
W, K, & J departed today. W went for a bike ride then put his bike back in its bag & loaded the car ready for the journey to East Midlands Airport.
J & I watched a bit of "cars"DVD whilst the packing up was done.
This involves us saying "Granny", "J", & then J being tickled.
It is fun, really.
W drove to the airport, a final treat, in a volvo, before returning to the Danish"van" & all went well.
I came home cross country & stopped in Ashby to have a tootle round & buy jam & lemon curd tarts at "Birds the Bakers".
We always stopped & bought a box of these fantastic tarts on journeys between Shustoke & York when I was a student/ married & living in York/ visiting AJ in York, before the M42/ A42 was built & Midlands to York journeys included Ashby, Breedon on the hill,Donington, then the M1.
The tarts are in a class of their own & well worth the detour.
I arrived home at 2.00pm, stripped the beds, turned the matresses, put loads of washing on & on the line, spoke to aj on the phone & fell asleep on the settee.
Thank you God for such a good drying day.
It is all now dry, ironed & away.
We have had pate, salad & drunk a nice bottle of red wine for supper, eventually.
We forgot to watch "The Apprentice" Shucks!
We did watch the follow up on BBC 2.
How could AS fire Ralph, an educated, articulate, charming, discreet young man & retain Michael, who is none of the above?
Happy.Birthday, Bent.
Pictures will not load!

Does the shop in Ashby still have Pheasants and Rabbits hanging outside?
I think "cars" is a great movie.

On the premise that 'You are what you eat'; one hopes that Ma Boswell's line in 'Bread','She is a tart' does not apply.
Thanks for a lovely stay, I am just sad that I missed out on the jam tarts, actually I think the lemon curd is better... hmmm
Having said that I seem to have done nothing but eat for the last 7 days so it is probably for th best that I abstained. We had traler park mexican for tea and J loved it as ever, 2 crispy tacos and a lasrge soft taco with beef.
No. There is a butchers around that spot - Coxes, I think, but only meat in the window, no game, like an ordinary butchers' shop, really.
No one will ever know.
I don't know that anyone even cares.
The lemon ones were exquisite....
They have so much filling that they count as a fruit portion anyway.
Have you been feeding K a lot of pies?
