Sunday Surmising

 

Hello everyone,

I hope you`ve all been having a good day.  It`s been really nice here and I`m hoping for more of the same tomorrow.  I like to stay positive despite the unsettled forecast.  This morning I did the ironing, all two hours worth of it...Oh joy, my least favourite job, and then this afternoon Kerry and I went for a nice long walk , and up til now not very much has happened.  I did do a bit more gardening, hurting my back along the way, par for the course for me I`m afraid, and I`ve planted three more pots of flowers and put them on the patio where nature can take care of them.  I`m hoping that they`ll do really well with the morning sun warming them up for the day.

                           

I thought I`d do a cat themed entry today, for no other reason than I think cats are very interesting animals, though they aren`t my first choice of pet after our last cat Paddie and our love/hate relationship.  I think cats were human beings in another life and have returned to live a life of luxury and being waited on hand and foot...lol!  Talking of cats, we`ve been visited by quite a few since the arrival of that flippin` rat.  They are all showing a healthier than usual interest in our garden shed where the rat thing has made it`s home but none of them has done anything about it`s eviction.  We really thought it had left home after we put the trap down and blocked the tunnels but all he did was dig another one, and would you believe it, the earth from his digging set off the trap!  So now we`re back to square one and it will have to be primed again.  Jim says he`s going to buy another one and we`ll try cake this time as was suggested by Jeannette (Jottings).  He certainly didn`t like the chocolate we put down...fancy not liking chocolate!

                  

After I`d done my bit of gardening I sat on the garden bench and had a coffee.  There was an Afro-Carribean wedding reception going on in a garden up the road and the music was a delight to listen too, they played lots of gospel, soul, ska , reggae and calypso.  I could have stayed out there all afternoon but I had journals to read and time waits for no man or woman...!  Kerry brought Roman over at 5pm and he still seems under the weather, he`s been up one moment and down the next.  It has to be that virus hanging on, maybe when he gets to Russia the good weather will get rid of it once and for all, he`s had it for weeks now and it`s not helped by him teething.

                    

Tomorrow Jim and I are going to see the place where he wants to start fishing on the River Lodden nr. Reading.  We`ll leave at about 11am and we`ll take Jake as I`m sure he`ll enjoy the walk.  I`ll take the camera because it`s supposed to be very pretty and there should be some wildlife about too.  For the time being I hope you all have a nice evening.  Goodbye for now and take care. :o)
