Today is the filling in the Bank Holiday Sandwich.
I’m mentally preparing for a day of hanging about at a rugby tournament. I’ve packed a bag of drinks, and alerted Squeak to my intention to get a McDonald’s breakfast en route. Getting dressed is the next objective.
I do love a McDonald’s breakfast. I can’t have the bun obviously so I have two hash browns with the sausage, egg and cheese between them.
I hope the rain stays off for you Pip.
I’m about to go and wish my BIL a happy birthday and give him some Ferraro rochers (sp?) as he’s impossible to buy for. I’ll go shopping then this afternoon I’m off to see A. We’ll go for dinner and watch Clarkson’s Farm
Lovely sunshine here too. I should mow the lawn - not sure I will. I should unpack and clean my friend's festering tent - not sure I will. I should go out and buy wine and butter - I will. I should go to my friend's for a sunny Snuday roast and drinks - I will.
In the meantime I will drink tea and guilt myself into doing one of the things I don't feel like doing.
I've just had a roll with black pudding and potato scone, it was lush. I'm taking my mum to get her Covid vaccine (spring booster) later this morning. J has to go into work for a few hours while I am out with my mum.
It's so nice not to have work tomorrow
Christ on a bendy bus son, don't be such a fucking faff arse
Morning! Pip, that's is a sacrifice, I do love hash browns.
It's a grey start here in the Lakes but we have an awesome view and have had great fun just chatting while weather watching. Today's plans include a wander around the shops and a pub lunch.
No Pip, just buy an extra hash brown ! Breakfast is the only meal I like from there and it’s a few years since I had one , but the hash brown is the best bit!
Arlo had a sleepover at eldest’s last night, which means OH didn’t have to get up early to walk him, so I didn’t get a cuppa in bed. I actually took him one up .
I’m in the garden with coffee and toast and my Murdle book. My toast has the lemon curd on that I made myself and it’s very tangy .
Morning! It's raining here and we have no plans. I'm happy mooching, but J can't compute a lack of schedule and there's a disturbing level of clattering going on in the kitchen. Hopefully the rain will stop soon and I can kick him out to play in the garden.
I don't think I've ever had a McDonald's breakfast.
It is very sunny here.I am just pottering about. Had an immense bowl of fruit with yoghurt and lots of coffee for breakfast. Going to Palladium this evening to see post modern jukebox.

We’re home from glorious sunshine in Birmingham to drizzle in Somerset. A has a football match this afternoon. Sadly back to a standard playing field after the excitement of Thursday evening’s match in the Badgers Hill Theatre of Dreams (Frome Town FC).
I am having a very dull, antsy sort of day. The nice morning inspired me to get washing on the line and consider going out, but since it’s clouded over and threatening rain I’ve gone off the idea. I should be doing boring life admin stuff really but also, or planking something to do for my birthday but am not inspired to do either. So I’m doing nowt.
At the very least I should decide something to have for dinner and go out before the shops shut, but also totally uninspired about that! where is my willpower?

I think I'd like to do this even though I don't need to We always get hashbrown all around regardless of what else we're getting.
I have walked to the shop because the kids used all the milk before we'd got up. Most of the house is unwell except L - I have a cold that I got from S and yesterday and today S and Mr J also seem to have some other bug. I thought I might have been on the mend but then felt worse yesterday and today, which is disappointing.
I have agreed to play minecraft with L which I may come to regret - he's very excited. I don't have much else planned today except I fixed a large outdoor terracotta planter kintsugi style (in that I didn't actually use gold - it got broken when we were taking a tree down and a branch fell on it) and need to figure out what plants to put in it.
Half-ten?! Half-ten?! I've never been up at half-ten! What happens?
We’ve been to Grand Designs Live and are now cramping my FIL’s style/costing him a fortune in Taytos.
I saw a lovely arbour thingy and picked up some kitchen brochures. Sproglette enjoyed the talk by a couple of interior designers, which was the main reason we went.
Hash browns are in the top 5 ways of preparing potatoes. Delicious.
I like Squeak’s message on the back of her legs- how was the tournament?
I went back to Brussels for the weekend and it was just lovely. Went to a couple of old favourite restaurants, shopping, saw Bill Bailey live last night and two lunches with old friends. Unexpected highlight was my going to an exhibition of surrealist art- Dalí, Magritte, Picasso- which was just beautiful and thought provoking.
