our problem is that my daughter arrived from London yesterday and today the train company has gone on strike. She's had to buy an new ticket on a different ( more expensive ) carrier.
Obelixx, we used to have an alsation /border collie cross. Mum got her from a farm, she was supposed to be Alsatian (mother) crossed with the house dog(labrador). Mum picked the odd looking one out of the litter. Vet took one look and said collie cross.Presumably the sneaky sheepdog. She used to round up kids on the beach, and was very protective of her family. Dog training was no good, she wouldn't pick up anything in her mouth, but otherwise would sit, stay, walk to heel etc.
I also have blue poppy envy.
Pat, I hope his taste buds improve soon. Loss of appetite and weight doesn't help matters. Hugs.
Well it's all go around here. Last week they decided to put an extra feeder lane in on the motorway island. To do it they closed the road leading to the motorway, and diverted all the traffic along our B road. Then someone in a stolen van held up the co-op in broad daylight, abandoned the van and set it on fire under the canal bridge that the road goes over, and escaped down the towpath. The concrete has blown and the bridge has been declared unsafe, so the road is closed. Large lorries ignore the road closed sign until they get to the bridge and then have to do a three point turn. More signs seemed to have slowed them down a bit, but it seems we will be in a cul de sac for months. I am not complaining. The official diversion is about 5miles long, going back through the next town and out the other side, so it is chaos in that direction. The local bus is going round the back of us through the estate, but it is a long wheelbase and narrowly misses the bollards every time it turns back on to the main road.
We will soon have broad beans, the pods are fattening.
Yum 😋 We’ve been eating them for a fortnight @fidgetbones ... I’ve frozen some and will have to freeze some more ... this rain is bringing them on quickly ... tonight we’ll be having some with courgette, toms, basil, garlic, capers and anchovies with tagliatelle ... a sort of pasta puttanesca with extras 🤭😂
Traffic sounds a bit grim ... We’re on a cul de sac off a cul de sac off a no through road .... there is an emergency gateway between this bit of the village and the rest ... but apparently no one knows who has the ‘key’ to unlock the bollards so its never ... not even last summer when this end of the village was virtually cut off by the junction being ‘remodelled’... it would have made sense for the buses to be diverted through the emergency gate rather than missing out a huge chunk of the village but by the time ‘they’ listened to us and agreed it made sense the roadworks were nearly over ... public consultation at its finest 😝

I defrosted the new freezer last week. It was installed when we had the kitchen done. When I pulled out the bottom drawer I found a cavity. It had a freezer tray, two cool bag blocks and the instructions on how to operate it. I thought it was small, but it was a big bigger than I presumed.
