Plans went to pot today - had a text to say the scout hut had been trashed, so son no. 2 and I went up there. There were loo rolls all over the place outside, including hanging from the trees, paper towels all over both toilets, a pile of something disgusting in the ladies, beer and coke cans and smirnoff ice bottles everywhere, salt and flour from the kitchen scattered everywhere, loads of mud trodden in mixed with whatever had been spilled, various breakages and two interior doors damaged. Turns out a 16 year old had got hold of a key and invited lots of mates for a party, unbeknown to parents. It took 8 of us two hours to clear it all up. His mother arrived when we'd almost finished the clear up and wasn't even very apologetic.
Oh Lottie what a mess, thank God there were 8 of you. I was just thing of cake when I read that and wishing I had some. Doesn't matter now.Gone off it.
Did have a Snickers ice after lunch though as they don't sell creme eggs here.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Morning all, hope I didn't put the mockers on Andy, it was just the first set he had one.
No teaching today, going out to Stanley Bay. A little beach, no smog, a market, so stuff to buy. We'll have lunch and then come back to the city. Going on the bus, always an experience out here. Buses, trams and taxis everywhere. Constantly doging people on the pavements. They are very focused on where they want to be, best not to get in there way or you might end up in the gutter.
Did birdwatch yesterday. I did the 9-10 slot while the birds were all turning up for breakfast.
Dry at the moment, but wet-wet-wet forecast for the next several days. The ground is already saturated and waterlogged from all that snow. Not much chance of doing anything constructive outside.
Rain here as well . Don't really mind as long as that's the end of the white stuff. Amazed how quickly it melted yesterday considering how much there was of it.
Got a few boring jobs to do around the house today. Had a rather lazy weekend. Haven't been outside yet as the birds have still got food from yesterday. Maybe they are fed up with takeaways and want a nice juicy worm.
That must have been dreadful Lottie. Will they be charged with criminal damage ? I would give them the choice of replacing the doors and a new paint job or report them to the police.
Ohhh lottie and mum wasnt even apologetic..thats rubbish!!
Bad foot today, needs rested so OH away with doggy hoping he returns to report all snow has gone. Few more birds in the garden this morning and a pheasant where were they yesterday whilst counting birds...hmmmmm.
Some boring work stuff this morning then i think i shall rest up and get on with my quilting effort....whilst scoffing cake ...must stop baking !
They seem to be feasting in the trees here. I hope the sparrows dont nest under our tiles again grrrrr, was like sparrow towers in the summer ...no shortage of them here. need the roofer to return and secure the areas and fix the roof.

Just saw the trailer on Utube Becks. Think I'll investigate.
His turn for tele tonight. I watched The Grey last night - wasn't impressed.
There's another one coming out that looks good as well, called 'Mama'

Then I came home and did some painting!
Didn't get round to the birdwatch!

Love you and leave you, will catch up later.

Morning forkers,

Morning forking folk,

I noticed that some food had been left over from yesterday on my birdtable too. That would not have happened last week.
They might be busy doing other things - looking over potential properties for nest building, and associated activities.
