Blotober - Post 2!

-

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?

    So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.

     It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥

    We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven't enjoyed a dinner that much since my Birthday Spaghetti Bolognaise! And that was pretty lush I have to say! Then we had ice-cream. Well, it is the weekend. Puddings are allowed you know!

    The various Tits and Nuthatches we're getting at the moment are being particularly greedy, so a new Sunflower seed feeder has been put out. It has a much smaller opening than the previous one. They still managed to almost empty it! Anyone would think no-one else in the area feeds 'em!

    In the evening we watched the first episode of the 8th series of The Brokenwood Mysteries. It was a little convoluted but also quite funny, and if you've never watched the series before you are really missing out! It is sometimes referred to as a tongue-in-cheek Midsomer Murders, but really it is much, much better!

    OK. That's it, stay tuned for even more excitement! I know, I can't wait either!👋😄

    It was a wet start here, I got soaked walking the dog- dear husband had assured me it would rain all day so I thought I’d better get on and do it. Wrong. Bright sunshine from mid morning….
    Looking forward to reading more!

    You are definitely getting in the swing of blogtober. I haven’t heard of the Brokenwood mysteries. Will have to check that out. Your birds sounds lovely, what part of the UK are you living?

      Hello! The Brokenwood Mysteries are shown on Drama, which I think is still on Freeview Channel 20. Living in the South.

    That was exactly how my Blogtober posts are going to end up! :) I haven't heard of the Brokenwood Mysteries before but I love Midsomer Murders so I'll have to go and look it up :)

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio

     I'll be honest, things are not great here at the mo'.       Quite apart from the fact that these last few hot weeks have turned my hands and fingers into wet and clammy nightmares, we've all had Covid. Yeah, after all this time, we finally get the bloody thing. The daft thing is my parents have been getting their boosters - the last one not long ago - whereas I haven't had one since the end of... 2021?, and if anything I fared better and have gotten over it quicker than they have! That's not to say any of us are exactly "right" at all: Mother still sounds like she has a cold, but doesn't, Father still has an awful bloody cough which is driving us all mad, and we're all still quite tired and head-achey.      And then there's the "other stuff" which I'm loath to go into because there really isn't much chance of any of that changing any time soon, if ever, and you never know who might end up reading all this. Plus I know you
