Time

Or lack of it , ive been very busy its peak gardening season and i ended up doing all sorts of daft projects in the garden , we have had grandson here for a few days hindering Mr BH to the point i ended up having a paddy with them both for them both not listening to each other and just sulking and shouting . They have both been hard work and i was relieved that grandson had toddled off to his girlfriends and its disabled fishing tomorrow for himself . It will be sigh of relief day tomorrow after ive picked a load of stuff up from the local auction , nobody was bidding on a bank holiday weekend so i can sort through stuff at my leisure tomorrow , dread to think the pictures were dreadful ..lol

We went to Carrington Steam Rally on Sunday , lovely sunshine but i never took my hood down due to the howling wind , we took a picnic to keep the cost down , Useful son and his fiance came with us , so not a bad day out at all . Now its gone all nice and showery im not having to water stuff which is heaven , but the howling gale is back today and i keep having to chase the washing down the garden . im currently sat watching all the fledglings in the garden particularly the Goldfinches eating the greenfly , there seems to be an awful lot this year , we have tiny Wrens swearing at you all the time how can something so tiny be so noisy ?  The blackbirds keep coming in the house to steal cat biscuits from the food dishes , im starting to feel very witchy talking to them all .

 So thats my boring life this week at least theres a big jumble sale Saturday in Lincoln 10am Birchwood Scout Hut ...see you there 

Monday

 Well another week another fresh start ..lol

Last week turned into a bit of a shit show , went to Ingoldmells to visit son and his fiancé, they were staying there for the week , it was every bit as stereotypical as i remembered though in an update for you all, it now has the same endless market stalls , less fake branded goods and endless stalls of tat they all seem to be full of endless dog boutiques and weed accessories the vaping hoards were all marching round with a couple of nice friendly French Bulldogs being attacked by hoards of Chihuahuas in pushchairs , very surreal . I cant say i bought anything , himself managed a big cooked breakfast and i was trying to stop crying with laughter at a young couple with a baby in a pushchair who were arguing 

"Well you shouldnt have given her such a long ffing name, then you could afford the bloody tattoo"

Himself "ive never seen so many people in buggies " he didnt see the irony as he sat in his buggy or the huge disappointment as we had to leave early  due to his batteries going  flat 

Just to finish the week , we had to shove him in an emergency ambulance Friday , our wonderful ask GP yet again , it was on for 3 minutes so we had to join the bleedin queue to ring them , i barely got his name out told them he had chest pains and she screamed at me to ring 999 and hung up .  We looked at each other and rang for the ambulance , who promptly sent out the paramedics , nice lads as always only took 10 minutes as they were in the area, they wired him up and said we dont think its his heart but we will pop him in anyway just to be sure , as i said the dreaded GPs said we had to ring you but we didnt think it was his heart this time, the paramedics looked at each other and said the name of our surgery and laughed . It would seem they spend all day going to calls from our surgery . I picked him up at tea time , it would seem he has an infection under the muscles of his chest , painful but not his heart so hes just grumpy and immobile at the moment , he cant use his crutches with one arm and hes sulking because he had to buy new batteries for his buggy .

Im trying to build up the will to do a post on the shambolic world of  Universal Credit , its bad and ongoing , i may save it till the end of this saga 

Pulled

 Well its my lucky day today ive pulled , this super keen bit of man flesh is all over my facebook 

Mike William

Kay Chamberlain Thanks for sharing... pardon me intruding, honestly I must say you are gorgeous and charming...I went through your profile and I found you so interesting and worthy of talking to. Your beauty is engaging and ravishing still your smile is captivating and enchanting. I would love to converse more better perhaps be of a better friend. Kindly add me up. God bless you truly....best wishes

Please bear in mind my profile pic is of a very large beardy garden gnome . Is he kinky for gnomes ? does he want my bank details now to save him wasting his breath for weeks ? Hes from Rockford Illinois , so is anyone out there living near him ? Hes been widowed , so someone may have seen him weeping in a cemetery?  Hes a polo player as well . gosh its a good job im not in the market for a turkey teethed toyboy  Somehow i dont think i want him to be my BFF ...lol   it baffles me how people fall for these romance conmen , its like theyre a punishment for being female of a certain age 

Sweet

 Community Pantry week , early trip to Sleaford and home by 10 with a great haul of veg and 3 bags of sweet and savoury pastries , doughnuts apple turnovers those little pizza breads different sweet flavours of croissant, the freezer is bulging . We also got a big bag of fruit and veg . Popped into Iceland and managed to get some reduced belly pork its been chinese marinaded with an ancient pack of seasoning  and once again into the freezer . Lidl was a bit strange they seemed to have altered things yet again , the meat chillers have halved in size the veg section is once again huge like it was before covid and everything else seems to be cramped into smaller areas , they did however have loads of cheap pasties so thats the fishing season took care of once again ..lol 

Another weird question , why does every bag of carrots i buy seem to be riddled with cabbage root fly ? theyre rotten in days so ive got the dehydrator on all the time AARRGGHHH

Now to the fun stuff , having found how little our pantomime dame mayor can actually do , she and the Boston MP Richard Tice have decided they are going to block all the renewable energy projects in Lincolnshire , bit daft really when one thing we have is tons of wind and solar going free if they ever find a use for mud we are all going to be rich. It does make me laugh when theyre moaning about the solar taking away good farmland , the point is that this land was only turned over to farming during world war II  its not great quality , it needs more fertilizer and water that we dont have and the solar farms are good for sheep grazing if nothing else, in fact they grass round them helps the soil structure and prevents our annual dust bowl conditions and improves the air quality. Ho Hum its going to be fun 

Bank

 So we have a Bank Holiday with weather more appropriate for this time of year..lol  Its bleedin freezing howling wind  with glorious sunshine , had to be up really early with himself today , hes gone out for the day with useful son and his newly appointed fiancée to Truckfest so he will be back tonight , tired , crippled and as mardy as his arse . I think the look on my face when he said did i want to go said it all, it would be like me dragging him to a Craft Event..lol 

So i pottered off to Methringham Car Boot , not a huge amount there , but there is an awful lot of them round and about today, couldnt be arsed to go to any others it was just to cold , managed to get one item off  this seasons list a large ceramic planter in deep red for a whole 50p , other than that i bought stuff just because it satisfies my inner hoarder . a box of vintage Bossons flower plates and a Homepride Fred flour sifter when my hands defrost properly i may get around to photographing them and posting them on a forum i belong to .

Now then on to the fun stuff , it would seem that we have a wonderful new mayor from the Reform Party along with a few councillors as well, Dame Andrea must have been attracted to the job by her well known loyalty and public service , I read with interest the job description and yes it does seem like a pointless job for a leach . We shall see , does this mean we will see more of Farage in our wonderful rural area than his constituents do in Clacton ? I wont insult those who have voted them in, they have their reasons and views , im used to being a minority voter and can live with this . I may say i told you so a few times over the next few years  and she does seem to have a way with her finger . May she provide much fuel for my sarcasm
