A Full Friday....I mean Thursday lol!

 

Hello everyone,

I didn`t think I`d make an entry tonight, what with one thing and another I`ve had a very full day.  Being Thursday I had the weekly shopping to do, I went to Tescos at 8am and I breezed around the store with almost no other shoppers, no complaints there.  On the way home I got caught in traffic, so the 10 minute ride home took 35, very annoying.  With it being a hot day I was worried about the freezer food melting but luckily it was ok, though the first thing I did was put it away, though silly me had left some grapes and a tube of toothpaste in the carrier bag.  When I went to sort it out later they were frozen solid, actually frozen grapes are really nice and refreshing, you should try them...lol!

                                       

Kerry rang me later this morning to tell me that Roman wasn`t well at all and that she was calling the Dr.  She was asked to take him to the surgery and it turns out he has a throat and chest viral infection and has been given antibiotics, strong ones too.  Apparently they think he`s had it for a couple of weeks and this cold has made it worse.  Because he couldn`t keep anything down this morning he isn`t allowed any milk or solid food apart from chopped bananas.  His stomach seems to have settled and he seems much better than he has been lately.  Kerry came with me and Jim when we walked Jake, then sat in the garden with me while Jim mowed the lawn.  Here are a few photos.

See Kerry`s new hair colour, she isn`t keen on the red in it and is waiting for it to fade.

Jake sniffing the Wallflowers, he`s so nosey!

Just Jake posing for me.

At last we have the rat trap, it`s now primed and ready for ratty with a nice big piece of cooking chocolate for bait.  Hopefully he`ll find it irresistable!  When Jim was putting it in place really nearly got his fingers broken when he knocked the trap mechinism with a powerful snap.  It just missed him but he said the rat won`t stand a chance with it, that`s what I like to hear.  It was difficult getting the trap under the shed as there wasn`t as much room as we thought, so Jim has dug some earth away and we`ve surrounded the area with bricks so Jake can`t get his nose in the way.  But we`ve left it so the rat has room to get in, though hopefully not out!

                                           

I must admit that quite a bit of my `full` day was spent sitting in the garden, mind you when it`s as nice as it`s been today, doing nothing certainly fills my time.  I`ve really caught the sun and I`m a nice shade of brown.  I`m sure it`s because I`m using a Factor 20 sun lotion this year as I can burn a lot easier than some people I know......  Jim only has to look at the sun and he goes a lovely golden brown, by the end of the Summer he`s a deep brown...it`s not fair...lol!

                              

Right, that`s me finished for today.  I hope you`ve all had a lovely day, have a smashing weekend and take care. Bye Bye for now. :o)

 

Making good

A man walks into a pet shop and asks for some ants, three mice, a family of cockroaches and fifteen spiders.  "What do you need those for?" asked the shopkeeper.

The man says, " I`m moving out of my flat this afternoon and the landlord said to leave it as I found it."

 

Mean Molluscs

Why don`t oysters give to charity?

Because they`re shellfish.

 

Electric connection

Two TV aerials meet and fall in love. The wedding was quite boring, but the reception was great!

 

Insect incident

A man is walking down the street when he is attacked by a giant grasshopper, which knocks him out.  He wakes up in hospital where he describes the attack.  " Ah yes," said the doctor, "You`re the sixth case we`ve had this week.  There`s a very nasty bug going round."
