After a cold start and a frost overnight, today turned into a gorgeous day! Maybe a little cold, but what a beautiful blue sky!
So, after a quick visit to Asda with Lee for a top-up shop, by way of Central Garage (to get Ann’s alloy replaced), we hit the garden for a massive tidy-up. First to go was the last remaining chiminea. Its twin sister had collapsed last year after we noticed severe cracking all over it (we think due to the severe winter) and it literally feel to pieces one afternoon, whilst in place. The remaining one was going the same way, full of cracks and very brittle, so we put it out of its misery with a vicious hammer-attack, and then popped it into the dustbin (sorry dustmen!).
After lunch, it was prune, prune, prune punctuated with regular breaks for the TV and newspapers.
…and then to finish off the day, I gave Ann’s car a thorough going-over including a deep-clean of the three existing alloys to match the new one.
Shiny motor!!!!
By 5pm, we were shattered, so we chilled-out to one of the DVDs Ann had picked up at Asda (for a fiver!) – Robin Hood starring Russell Crowe. We’d seem it in the cinema last year where I rated 3 stars (out of 5).
Spookily, when the film finished, we noticed that on Sky Movies Premiere, they were showing…. Robin Hood (well, at least ours was the Director’s Cut).

I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
