Glad the test came back negative @Sandemaniac.
Another wet, cold day here. I've been on 4km walk to the Leisure Centre and back for a Pilates class. My coat and bag are now in the downstairs loo (the warmest room in the house) drying off before I have to go out again for a hair appointment in an hour or so. At least that is less than ten minutes walk away.
This evening we're off the the local am dram theatre to see The Queen and I. We very much enjoyed Its a Wonderful Life there before Christmas, so have high hopes it will be good.
Another quiet day in Arkland the Mild, after some early Rain. The Coal has been delivered, and I think Neighbour F intends to unload the Trusty Trailer tomorrow. Saturday is a better day on which to employ the old nautical practice of obtaining staff by Press-Ganging...
Neighbour F uses a lot of free wood - he has a virtually inexhaustible supply of pallets, courtesy of a friend of his. The wood warms Neighbour F thrice, to wit, (1) when he's carting it to his Ark, (2) when he's cutting it up (he has an electric saw thingy), and (3) when he's put it in the Stove.
Sweet n'Sour CHICKEN for tea. because (as usual) use-by date...
I had some most welcome time to myself this morning while Mr Nen was out doing Car Stuff, so I did a few domestics, wrote many pages in my journal and tiddled about on the web. This afternoon I was out for coffee and a catch up with friends. This evening Mr Nen and I are going to a meal at the house of some friends. They live two doors down, so we thought we'd walk so that we can both have a drink and it is a No Cooking For Nen evening which is always A Good Thing.
Left the office 10 minutes early tonight so I could get the earlier train home. Wasn't the first out of the door, by some way, though.
Made it to the early train. Then just before it was due to leave they announced that they were completely changing the route and weren't calling at most of the intermediate stations (including mine). So I disembarked and am now on my usual train.
Aargh, so irritating. Today I cycled into work as the BBC had lied been mistaken about the wind speeds. Lucky I did, as on the way home the roads around my house were gridlocked due to an accident. Also glad I didn't have to wait around for a bus for 50mins as I did on Tuesday, when they cut out two in a row.
I’ve been going through stuff stored on my laptop, sorting and decluttering. I re-read some of my annual Christmas letters and decided to print off some of the most interesting years, as part of my files for my memory book. I’ve included the year my parents died, my children’s weddings, arrival of grandchildren, thoughts on retirement ( before, during and after) as well as records of holidays, choir trips etc. Happy memories.
One rare moment I recorded was a choir rehearsal with a guest conductor. Working on pitch, he made us sing 7 different notes from G to G#! The next week, with our usual DM, she commented that the sopranos were singing flat. A number 6, she said. Not too far off, but still flat.
Kedgeree tonight. I made double, one for the freezer.
... there is nothing up my arse that shouldn't be there ...
TMI, but I'm so pleased to hear that!
Another cool, dry day here; no actual bruises from yesterday's mishap (I don't generally bruise easily), but I do have a few Aches, which I'm attempting to relieve via ibuprofen gel.
After a fairly quiet day at work, supper was, predictably, F&C, because Friday.
We came home at the interval from the play. The cast were fine its just that The Queen and I hasn't really aged well and the staging was rather creaky meaning that pacing was lost.

Luckily this was just the poo stick test.
That's the one! You can have a third one, but it's likely to fall between two stools.

Splendid... Extra points for that.

Have had a packet of wine gums.
