    Handy for pruning, washing windows, painting ceilings. Maybe you could send it down to the shop to collect your shopping🤔

    Eee another dot. I'm always curious when I see a dot because I wonder what the intended post said and why minds were changed.  :D

    I had typed a flippant reply to an earlier post @Uff but apparently never sent it and it's now out of sync so I tried to delete it. That didn't work as other posters have remarked upon on so I used a dot as suggested by them.

    I had always wondered what the dots meant!

    Oh shucks Lizzie27, that's happened to me, it's a pain when I see a draft post it the box top right and the thread has moved on 5 pages and I'm wondering where my post has disappeared to.

    Well I never @KT53 that's a coincidence  B)

    I’ve had a lovely day! Notification from the library that the next two books in The Expanse series, were ready for me to collect. Went to town to collect them, had an excellent coffee and pastry in the bakery shop, and then managed to get OH into a shoe shop to look at new trainers. He refuses to try shoes on in a shop, and had been threatening to order a pair on line, with all the associated nuisance of waiting in for the delivery, and then having to send them back if they didn’t fit.
    There was a very suitable pair in his size, 30% price reduction, and a month to take them back if they didn’t fit, for a full refund. Even he was impressed! He is happy with them and planning to keep them, result! 
    Then got an update from son, dog has not been well, but after lots of tests, nothing seriously wrong. Very relieved at that.
    Celebrated with my favourite comfort food, spaghetti with grated cheese, bacon and fried egg! Also added some Brussels sprouts, and had a glass of chianti on the side!
    (daughter tells me that fried Brussels sprouts are on many menus in San Francisco, served tapas style with drinks!) 
    OH watching rugby, so I am going to pour myself another glass of wine, and open my book! Bliss!

    I'm just happy with the Scotland won bit.  I won't tell the missus that means England lost - much safer that way. :disappointed:
    Another RTBC is that there have been loads of wagtails in the garden in the past week or so.  We've lived in this house over 30 years and never had any before.
