Thanks Roobarb, you reminded me ,I seldom use my mobile ,prefer carrier pigeon - no last year I lost all my credit , was at hospital and tried to phone son to come and pick me up ,said not enough credit !
Passing through our town nearly at home ,I popped into Tesco and put £25
on. When trying it again at home again not enough credit .
So phoned by landline and was told I had not made enough calls!
I had lost my credit ,but wait for this- there was then in total, including the latest £25 —— £ 91 credit!
I flew off the handle big time ,got it reinstated but from time to time phone my landline or my son just to get some calls in ,I will phone someone this afternoon as I will need the facility tomorrow when I have finished at the hospital etc.Son will take me and pick me up, but won’t wait ,it could be a good while - treadmill etc.
Got lots of fresh vegetables so will do a Woolton pie but with some Quorn.
Easy for tomorrow then.
Will hear how FH got in at school this evening when my daughter phones.
That lamb sounds lovely ,I am just about to order a fillet of lamb ,up here that is the wide part of the leg, that leaves a rather long shank .
I like lamb for Easter ,so ordering early ,don’t like cold lamb however.
My M in L cooked lamb every weekend .
My then boyfriend and I had been to the cinema, Saturday evening.
We went back to his house and he decided to have a cold meat sandwich , but did not put the meat away - no fridges in those days .
We heard a clatter in the kitchen and the dog had jumped up and stolen the joint!
We had let him out and left the door open so he could come back in .
That was the dog that arrived home one Sunday lunchtime with someone else’s leg of lamb, where from ?
Next morning in the corner shop it was the talk of the neighbourhood ,my M in L said nowt!
He hated uniforms ,the postman used to swing his bag at the dog when the postie had to deliver to the works office ,well the dog was the self appointed guardian ,so barked furiously.
When the office was being burgled and Police came the dog would not let them in the works premises at all ,the burglars had thrown stones at him but he loved retrieving anything thrown so thought it was a good game .
One item in last week ‘s pottery programme was the large jar ,it did not fit the brief but the folds at the top were quite dramatic I thought .
Why they don’t stick to the brief though!
My right ear closes up if I don’t wear earrings permanently so I got some very
dainty sleepers to wear all the time .
Take them out to clean regularly though ,dip on TCP and replace ,turning a few times .
I hardly change them nowadays.
Never wear jewellery nowadays, ,no chance is there!
That plate etc sounds really painful .
Lovely walks folks,nice to hear about them.
I’ll be off as soon as I can ,I need to get fit for the marathon foray to Bury market!
I do hope it has survived ,it is special, day trippers come in coaches ,honestly.
A walk round M&S ,the best chip shop in the world and Poundland, if they too have survived .
IF ,a little word but big meaning .
Keep safe and well folks
Cheerio for now.Viktoria.
