Another day........

"I'm not a conscientious blogger as when I sit back and review the day I often find that there is nothing of note worthy of blogging" to misquote Alan Bennett, who is currently reading his diaries on Radio 4, about to be published.
Brilliant.
His quotes are so clever in their drollness, if there is such a word - I looked for this one on Google yesterday morning and so wasted the first hour of the day.

Quick synopsis of the last few days to convince myself that that's not really the case:

Saturday, ran a Coffee & Cakes Morning at Blyth Hall, courtesy of Lady Dugdale.
70 tickets sold, 20 good raffle prizes begged (including four £20+ vouchers from local businesses and a dozen bottles, including a magnum of Grand Cru champagne,Talisker whisky, port....) cakes made, bought from Welshpool the previous day, China, all transported to Blyth Hall and in place before 10.00am.
A good time had by all and an amazing £1000 made for Shustoke church.
Thank you notes to be written and token presents to be delivered today.
I think that I slept for most of the remainder of the day, after clearing up.

Sunday, church at 9.30am, housework, bit of e baying then friends for dinner - roast leg of pork with trimmings, sage and onion from the garden.

Monday, the site is being fenced with stock proof fencing ready for the arrival of Mollie - more later.
Jason arrived with small digger at 8.00am and he and K spent all day putting in posts outside the field and garden hedges.
They're back on the job now - looks good.
Dual purpose - keeps Mollie and the chickens in and others out.
I did menial jobs - bed changing to remove electric blankets, washing, posting parcels, serving teas and cooking dinner.
Said electric blankets, identical , bought in Nov 2013 and 2015 have ceased to work.
I found the guarantee - 3years - so took them back to Argos in Tamworth, to be told to send them back to manufacturer, so a wasted journey, but they will be posted off today.
Perhaps they will replace?
They were expensive.

Today, well I am up, that's a start.........
