Well…..it seems that, when it comes to not being properly
prepared and not paying enough attention, the Old man has taken the Gold
Medal….. the Silver Medal and the Bronze as well. His Valentine’s Card to his
beloved wife started with the words “To my wonderful Girlfriend” …..uummmm. Just
as well that, for the first time that anyone can remember, he is taking Mum out
this evening….and not, apparently, to St. Catherine’s Café…..
The Student has cooked supper this evening (some rather
exciting noodle dish involving beef and chicken…but of course it could be just
about anything….and we haven’t seen so many horses on the roads today!!)….1 and
2 were home….but going out after (and probably before doing the washing up)…
Barista Boy is taking someone out, but because it was rather unplanned (and his
invitation was given a little tongue in cheek) there was discussion about
whether he had the nerve to suggest “going Dutch”!!......on boy, when it comes
to the “males of Seaford”, it seems that the age of chivalry is not quite dead…
but it must be mighty close!!
Did you know that today is also St. Cyril’s Day……we’ve got
bets on the Pops didn’t know that either…..how unlucky, having ”your day” on
Valentine’s….as the joke goes…..”Jesus must have been so disappointed to have
been born on Christmas Day”!!!
The first laugh of the day came as we were watching the
weather forecast (as opposed to watching the weathergirl) on TV this morning……
it seems that Muddiford were expecting floods today……we did have a little
chuckle.
Dad’s fizog is all over page 2 of the JEP this evening…. The
Fireman asked if it would be possible for Dad to get his glasses any further
down his nose….. The report says that Dad is going to be “grilling Philip
Ozouf” about the proposed Innovation Fund Proposals next week…..that a shame
that it’s actually Alan Maclean that is having the meeting with Dad……good old
JEP…. never let the truth get in the way of a good story!!!
We have cows in our field…..they have miraculously appeared
during the day. This means that the dog has something to bark at (she doesn’t
bark at anything else that we know of) …..that’s in between chewing her
rope…unbelievably she has made very little impression on said rope so far….
While we’re talking about animals….it has been decided that
we ARE going to get our pigs for the meadow….but NOT “normal” pigs (could we do
anything normally?) …..these are Kune Kune Pigs…bred in New Zealand, they are
very friendly and pretty tame….the best bit about them is that they don’t dig
up the grass, but eat it just like cows…..The Ex Farmer has been rabbiting on
(excuse the pun) about these bloomin’ pigs for a long time now….and has finally
found a way to get hold of some. Apparently they will be making an appearance
later on this summer….can we wait?
The Engineer has been using one of the other “attachments”
on his new drill…the digger now has the cab removed…..and it was a “real big
job” to take it off apparently…..oh, the joys of taking things to pieces….by
the time the new parts have arrived there won’t be a machine left to fit them
to!
Friday tomorrow….bring on the weekend….and no rain in the
forecast, according to that lovely girl on the weather….maybe it’s time to
think about the garden and vegetable plot……but only “think”….we’re not so silly
as to actually do anything!!
Check out the puppy on blog SC from Gorey.... ;-)
