[Sue]

Morning

Its Friday and the usual, Art and lunch out, thats about it. The forecast is cool, cloudy and dry. Hava good day all

[Stanley]

Once more I shall keep out of the shed. My finger is doing well and I am not going to risk undoing the good work of the last 48 hours..... The promised rain should cease mid-morning and so there is the chance of a walk.

[Sue]

Morning

Its very wet and. Windy, dry later but its due to return. Bob is in Derby all day for a Model Engineers meeting. I have the morning to myself when I shall sort out my own sewing ready for a session with Maxine on Tuesday morning. Lucy is coming this afternoon as I am busy on a lot of Thursdays until mid June. However she finishes school for exams in a couple of weeks so she may be able to fit in other days between exams and revision.

Have a good day all

[Stanley]

Bob's voluntary work for Model Engineers is very onerous..... (and expensive!)
We're wet and windy here as well Sue. not a very cheerful Saturday.

[Stanley]

I shall keep out of the shed for one more day..... My finger is healing well and I don't want to do anything to halt progress!

[Stanley]

Later, I've done all my jobs, renewed the dressing on my finger and had breakfast. Now I think I deserve my second sleep....

Morning

Bob is the treasurer for the local club and the Northern association of clubs. He is also a boiler tester and runs the database of registered tested boilers. Yes it takes up a lot of his time but at least he gets expenses. When he worked he worked away from home during the week for over 15 years, weekends were taken up with household necessities and looking after elderly / ill parents. We both had no time for hobbies. Bob also had no friends locally so he took up Model Engineering when he retired. He joined the Rochdale club and soon had numerous friends with common interests and being at the young end
( we both retired at 55) was quickly persuaded to ‘help’ out at the local and National level. On a really nice sunny day the commitment is a bit of a shame from my point of view but I have the garden and my sewing and we do have numerous holidays and small breaks away through the year. It makes you appreciate how much people give up to provide all these swimming lessons, train rides, football games etc as volunteers for activities for children ( and indeed adults)

Today hopefully will not be quite as showery as yesterday. I got soaked again when I walked with Lucy up to the bus. Bob got back from Derby about 6 so I had plenty of time after Lucy left to make a bolognese sauce, ready to cook the spaghetti when he came in.
So today will be a usual Sunday, a bit of ironing and sewing for me and Bob at the park. Have a good day all .

[Stanley]

It's stopped raining here and I have had a good second sleep so all is well. I have to start thinking about cooking my chicken and veggies, it comes round very quickly!

[Stanley]

I've been out for my short walk and Co-op shopping. I have the heavy end of the veggies and the necessary accompaniments for my chicken so all is well. We have warm sunshine but a very cold wind!

[Stanley]

I feel ready for the shed again but being cautious I shall give my finger one more day of protection.... I think I might roast a chicken instead....
Later at 3:30.... The chicken is in the oven ready for roasting and I am going to have my breakfast before going back to bed for second sleep....

[Stanley]

Things are going well. I have dealt with my chicken and the gravy and I don't need to complete veggie shopping until tomorrow. It looks like a good day for a walk....

[Sue]
