    Something about the bunker mentality perhaps @Lizzie27, but I have been eating more, so my waistline is going in the wrong direction!

    MY RTBC? My OH and I have been together 21 years today and are still very much in 💕 

    Nothing special, anniversary-wise, we had a big celebration for our 20th last year, but we enjoyed a rather good bottle of rose in the sun and pottered around the garden, listening to “Music to Watch Girls By” which is dear to our hearts. We went on holiday to the region where we are living now, shortly after we met. I bought this CD in the airport and it has become the sound of summer ever since. Happy memories!

    A good reason to be cheerful is my neighbours are tidying up their gardens! Long may it continue after the lockdown finishes!

    My neighbour is doing the same now that he can't go golfing.

    Happy anniversary @Nollie.

    OH is getting loads done out there now he isn't spending 2 or 3 days a week golfing, not to mention no golf on TV either except re-runs of things like the Masters.

    Congratulations @Nollie :)
    'Lang may yer lum reek', as we say here  ;)

    At the risk of sounding like George Formby, it turned out nice again here, after the overnight rain. Got loads of footery things done, and watched the birds and butterflies flitting around.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    I couldn't believe that I've lost weight. It's the thinking before you eat thing, i suppose.
    That being said, i  dont think my diet has improved from a nutritional point of view. Home made biscuits are a lot nicer.

    Home made biscuits are dangerous!  Off the menu for the mo as far too tempting.

    We have new neighbours.  Farmer Luc is finally happy with his fencing and electrocuting and water butt and has released two young Blonde d'Aquitaine heifers into our paddock.   They are leaping and frolicking and our 2 dogs are highly entertained.

    It's wonderful to see cattle doing that. It's not just lambs that gambol!

    Watching Countryfile and they showed cattle being turned out into a field after several months inside.  They were all leaping in the air and generally playing silly buggers.  It was great to see.
