Strange I don't find it difficult at all with the clocks changing. I immediately go to the new times and forget the old. |

Shopping came and I was putting that away when the postman came for a parcel. Did a wash. Had another chat with Ebay agent about the sending of invoices and its been going on for over a month now. |

I was not conciously thinking of anything much Mel but it might have been in my mind I suppose. So far I have showered, put a washing load in and had breakfast of yoghurt and blueberries and read the Mail on line. Now going to have a coffee. |

Good morning all. For the first time in ages I had one of Vera's nights last night. I actually think, if I slept at all, I only had one hours sleep. I feel exhausted already this morning. I was up at various time during the night walking around to see if it would help me sleep when I got back into bed but it didn/t. so I won't be doing a lot today Why is it when you can't sleep you lay for ages forcing your eyes to stay slosed, yet when you get up you have to struggle to keep them open? |

I have been to Holsworthy this afternoon to tke the library books back and get some peanuts for the birds. I wanted to get one of those touch weeder things with the gel in them but Mole Valley don't do them anymore so I just got bird seed. Did that first and then the library and then I thought I would have a ook at the chippy to see if it was open and it was so I bought myself senior fish and chip and it was well worth the money as it filled me up to the brim. Was a good girl and only went in those three places. |

A really beautiful day here again. There’s a bit of a breeze but nothing like yesterday’s wind. All the washing is hanging out and may be nearly dry by now. After I had changed the beds and done all the washing I managed to get a little bit more done in the garden and OH did some tidying and pruning on a strip alongside our garage. We can’t see it from our house but we try to keep it nice as it looks better as you come up the Close and it’s a better outlook for the bungalow opposite. It’s a wonder that anything grows there as there is only a small amount of topsoil on top of a load of rubble but we put in some small shrubs a few years ago and it doesn’t look bad. |

Good afternoon. Had a good day in gloucester. Managed to find a pair of Cargoe trousers in the size the M&S cheltenham disn't have last week so that is good. After a wander round the shops I went and sat in the Cathedral gardens in the sun as I was a bit early for lunch. Lots of people in and around the cathedral, the grounds attract the shop workers with their packed lunches and there was a long crocodile of 5-7 year olds came in allwearing high viz waistcoats. They made for a large patch of grass next to the cathedral and all sat in two rows to eat their packed lunches. so sweet, lovely to see. fish and chips was good three of us opted for the small cod this time and it was plenty enough for me as there was loads of chips. |

Looks like the PC got it wrong Mel. All sorts of charges are going up in April so we'll all have to be careful not to waste. |

Just been up to put the recycling out and the white pheasent was up the side of my garden behind the old workshop. Another female close behind her so I| went past very slowly and put the bin out and came back and she was on the edge between me and Beccy next. Came back down to get my camera thinking she woul dhave gone by the time I got back up there but she had'nt so I will send the result plus the new toy in the sky and a strange cloud I saw when |I went out to see the drone flying. |

I don't think it's that likely to be someone in the close AnnG as most of us are retired, elderly and incapable of lumping mattresses around. The only van in the close is Mr O's and he never uses it other than for his work with the water company. I can't imagine his houseproud wife having stained mattresses either! lol. I used old baking tins as drip trays in the greenhouse once. They eventually went rusty but could be handy to stand plants in when you go on holiday to save as much watering. |

BIL did'nt stay too long this morning so when they left I decided to do the pond filter. Did my pond and it needed topping up from the well so I turned the pump on and came in to eat. I had done the big pond too and just left it as I knew it would fill the filter and that would be that one done as well. Came in and did lunch and sat and ate it and watched a bit of telly and went out for a ciggy and saw that my pond was full to the brim so turned the pump off and looked in the big pond and it was down about a foot six inches. Changed the pump over to fill the big pond and went round to the filter shed and I had only left the bottom drain tap on. It just as well I went out when I did or they would have only had about thrre foot of water left in their pond. I had checked everything but the bottom tap on the filter which let the dirty water out from cleaning the filter. |

Ah I see what you mean ann. Yes it needs somebody to report it it doesn't sound very nice. Wonder if it is somebody on your road that dumped them. |

No they haven't been left outside a house front AnnG. The top of our close on the left just has a long tall fence along the back gardens of the bungalows in the next close and the field hedge is opposite along the other side of the road. I will ring the council if they aren't picked up soon as they are stained and not very nice to see. My word you have been busy with the garden and sorting in the kitchen. I need to replace a shallow round tin that just fits in the microwave and that I use on the conventional oven setting for tray bakes. I got rid of a big heavy tray that came with the cooker a little while ago. I still have some hardly used stainless steel saucepans that MIL had. They are far too heavy for me and I think she hardly used them because they were heavy. |
