Today I shall be Mainly...

[Wendyf]

Is there a family celebration planned for your birthday on Saturday, Stanley?

[Stanley]

I don't know about Rochdale Sue, but the remarkable thing about the weather in Barlick today is how stable it is, there is almost no variation at all in any of the parameters throughout the day. Even the wind speeds stay the same. For that reason , as soon as I have had a hot drink I shall have my short walk to the Co-op for my milk. Then I shall have second breakfast and think about what mischief I can get up to...... It won't be gardening.....

Wendy, just seen your post. We will be at the Tempest Arms at 12:30 on Saturday.....
Just back from milk shopping at Co-op. Very light breeze and mizzle. Things could be a lot worse!

If anyone happened to be passing they would be very welcome..... There will only be me, Mick and Susan...

[Stanley]

I shall be in the shed early doors for an hour and then after second sleep I expect a visit from Susan, they arrived in town for the flash mob on Saturday at the Tempest...
Later.... domestic matters intervened and shed was declined this morning..... No rush, one of the advantages of being your own boss!

Morning

It was a good mornings sewing with Maxine. We resolved a couple of issues with my suit jacket and also adapted a pattern for a summer dress as well as having a good natter. Bob finished the wallpaper stripping in the lounge so we can progress to painting. We have opted to finish the lounge before moving on to the dining room to reduce the overall mess at any one time. Our friend Kath called round in the afternoon with a birthday card for Bob and stayed for an hour or so for a cuppa and a chat. Which reminds me I must phone my friend Wendy in Norden. I haven’t seen her since before Christmas.

This morning I shall go for a swim, Bob has an engineer friend calling round for a coffee and a chat. This afternoon I think we may start the painting, ceiling edges today and perhaps gloss tomorrow. Rain is forecast. Have a good day all

[Stanley]

Susan and Mick visited yesterday and Susan vacuumed round and changed my duvet covers.
No visit today, they are going to Skipton. I shall try to do better with the shed this morning and will probably spend what promises to be a cold day indoors doing a bit of light housework.

One small task this morning. Make the eccentric rod and fit it to the valve rod clevis. 45 minutes of quiet careful work and we have it finished and error-free. Nice! Now for breakfast.

Change of plan. For some reason I didn't feel like second sleep so I cut my pork belly up instead and got it going in the slow cooker with oranges, tomatoes and onions. If I get sleepy I can always have a dadnap!
