Panda, I've had so little interest in the peanuts that they've gone mouldy in the feeder! Very disgusting. Although due to budget cuts the birds are only getting sunflower seeds and peanuts at the moment (and homemade fat balls but they're not going down either). I can only assume someone else nearby has a better selection!
I randomly was reading an article about a large family and it commented on how often their washing machine was on (almost every day). Well there's only two of us in this household and I'll be on my fourth wash cycle of the day come lunch time so either they meant there's very rarely a day where it isn't running all day or I've been conditioned to change my socks far too often!
Lol Edd, brilliant excuse ...............i'm going to use that one
Glad its not just me re peanuts for birds, had to unlodge them with a pokey thing where they had all stuck together Yuk! But birds have gone through the seed like nobodys business.
Visit to sister went well, she was in a good mood!
I've just come back from the village hall. They had story tellers and OH sang Christmassy French songs with the local choir. Earlier they'd been to sing in the Old People's Home. Then Father Christmas came and gave presents to the village children. When we came to this village in 1990 with our 4 children there were hardly any children and the village school had closed down. Now there are over 50.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I've been watching the second part of Strictly on I player with slow broadband speed
OH only recorded first part..there isn't a suitable smiley to express my mood when I realised. There will be NO more pasta served in this house until JUNE !!!!!
KEF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is he like??????????? I presume you'll be getting breakfast in bed every day from now until Hell freezes over!!!
Aged Ps ok - well, Pa in bed a bit under the weather - they think he may have a bladder infection - they've started him on anti-biotics and he's getting lots of tlc. He slept most of the time we were there but looked ok and his breathing was ok (for him). He woke to say hello and ask what day it was, and he had a little thickened lemon barleywater to drink. Ma was in her wheelchair next to him holding his hand and the tv was on quietly. She doesn't remember sending out the Christmas cards but I assured her that she did it (with some help from Bro) and we've received our and so have my kids, so she's relieved about that. She said she's not usually that organised!
We saw a wonderful stormy sunset on the way home.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I have been feeding the birds today and squirrels, the birds here are eating the peanut and mixed seeds and fat balls, one of my feeder attracts the pigeon and doves, have blue tits on the peanuts feeders, just after I put the food out a black bird was there
