It is really  is  strange, mine on 3rd and his on 5th, his was a write off and was paid out in 2 days, and, it was his fault, unlike mine, 2 weeks and no one has  been I  contact ,  find it a bit spooky.

Where is everyone  today,?,  it is very quiet, not that you are enjoying  the sunshine!!, been a miserable day here.

Clocks change soon, we need the weather to go with  it to encourage me out to do the gardening, well over due

Take care

This morning Postman Pat delivered an envelope addressed to both wife and myself. The Local Elections are due in our area this year and this envelope contained two application forms for Postal Votes, one for each of us and with our names printed on from one of the Political parties who will be fighting the election.   We have not requested these but I suppose that the Party concerned is trying every which way to garner some extra votes.
What does bother me is the fact that they are using the "official" Council application forms, personalised with our names.
I can understand them sending out letters in the normal manner to make us aware of the potential for using a postal vote if we so desire but to have gone the extra mile or six and personalise the official forms makes me wonder if they have not taken their enthusiasm just a tad too far and overstepped the mark. Any thoughts on the legality of this?

It seems not impossible that eventually someone would assume which way we would vote!
Easy to bamboozle a daftie like me.

Some forms nowadays look official but really are not,they are advertising.

Oh why not just leave things alone.
At least until I have popped my clogs!

Dropping in briefly to say ...

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Different date for us and not Mothering Sunday

We have to wait until May

Enjoy ... and remember our own mums too in some way

Love the diary thread.

Remembering my mom Winnie 1923-2006 on Mothers Day.

Off out for Mothers Day lunch later with my daughter and her family.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Thankyou you from me Mare , I am just up ,opened card from daughter and son in law, first son will make a visit this afternoon, ,second son who is here for the time being is still asleep, not yet over Covid so first son won’t come
in .He has been unwell for some time but things are at last being sorted out .
A funny day it will be.
Mothering Sunday really. Always the fourth Sunday in Lent., the lead up to Easter.
It is a Religious day here really but Americans call it Mothers’ Day,
Whatever it is a nice gesture to Mothers.
In days of yore—— servant girls were as far as possible allowed home to see their mothers, taking a cake ,a fruit cake decorated with marzipan ,called a Simnel cake.
Symbolising the “ Mother Church “ really.

The price of flowers has shot up this weekend ,because of Mothering Sunday.

Well must get on,am trying to get to Church , I am so used to being alone I find it difficult to have someone here with me.
It will all work out .
An easy evening meal, I got a side of salmon ,but it will only be we two ,other son not coming in, so half frozen, just new potatoes,new. Peas and green beans and Hollandaise sauce..A lemon drizzle cake with cream .

I will have something of my mother’s on the table today ,she died in 1957,aged 61. I have flowers for her and got a little plant for the garden,Ceanothus ,a climbing one.
Hope everyone has a good day , we are so lucky to live where we do, not Russia or Ukraine.

Cheerio  Viktoria.

Happy Mothering Sunday to all you mothers, have a lovely day ⚘

My mother wasn't a churchgoers but she always referred to Mothering Sunday rather than Mothers' Day so I always made a point of buying her a card with that particular greeting.

Happy mothering Sunday to all,  mothering means caring  so we don't have to be a mum to share mothering Sunday

Have always been included in Mothering Sunday celebrations by my niece and nephew as I am also their god-mother.
