Morning all, it’s a new week and another sunny start.

We had a nice bbq last night with the family when our son and DIL came to collect the kids after their weekend away. It was lovely having our grandchildren for the weekend but it’ll be nice to get back to normal this week.

Today if I can summon up the energy I want to jet wash the path at the side of the house, I’m a bit worried about dirty water going on next doors property because it’s a bit lower than our property, they are very house proud and everything must be immaculate but they’re nice people so hopefully they’ll understand if they get a bit of seepage on their side.

Whats everyone else up to today?

@Piethagoram are you still travelling?

Looks like it's going to be another nice day here. The cloud is breaking & the Sun has got his hat on.

It certainly has been a very nice spring & hopefully it will be a sunny Summer too. 

We haven't had much rain here for going on three-months. Won't be long before we get a hosepipe ban the way things are going.

Off to the Superstore shortly to get some goodies before we get a delivery tomorrow.

A lovely morning here as I wait my Tesco delivery.

My friend managed to secure tickets for the Wimbledon trip, and despite it being in London. Jake is coming! Very early start planned, but I am excited. I have been focusing on reaching out via emails today and yesterday.

Along with sorting out other behind-the-scenes things, so that things are a lot more smoother once the season has finalised.

Yesterday was our 19th wedding anniversary with my amazing soulmate @cheeky~k8. Thursday, Jake turns 19 and Sunday is a day I am hoping to spend at least some of the time at Wilford Hill and @super_ram. May is a busy point for us.

Happy anniversary for yesterday @Chris and @cheeky~k8

@Chris I hope you can bring Notts some luck when you go to Wimbledon to see the match, give them a cheer for me.

Good morning, happy Tuesday, though not so happy for me, I’ve got a dentist appointment at 11am for a check up, I’ve got a broken tooth on the top but I’m going to tell the de gist to leave it as it’s causing me no problems at present I don’t want to lose it as I’ve already got several missing on the top and it would mean forking out for a new partial denture.

Have a good day everyone.

It's been another lovely day here with plenty of warm sunshine, but there was a nice breeze too.

It was a nice drying day too & the Mrs decided to take advantage of the warm weather & do the washing.

Watched an early evening movie on You tube. The original, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Michael Rennie. 

I still think that the original is better than the modern interpretation of 2008 that starred Keanu Reeves.

Morning all and happy Wednesday.

I was really pleased with the dentist yesterday she took one look at the broken tooth and said that she could repair it, which she did there and then with no fuss and best of all no needle, I thought that I’d have to have it out eventually because a big chunk had broken off so it was a real bonus to not only keep it but now it’s good as new.

Today we are going for a walk along the river, it should be nice in the sunshine have a lovely day everyone.

It's been another pleasant day, although there has been more cloud than late. 

Watered the garden plants this morning. When are we going to get some decent rain?

I didn't think I would be saying that in the middle of May after all the rain we have had these past few years.

Watched an oldie this late afternoon. The Hound of the Baskervilles with Basil Rathbone, Nigel Bruce & a young Richard Greene from the Robin Hood series.

Mrs Robbie bought some pop corn so it was nice to get a front row seat at the movies while munching away.

@Robbie they said on the weather tonight that we’ll get rain for the bank holiday weekend, shame for the folk who were hoping to get away but as you say the gardens and farmers desperately need some rain.

Morning all, happy Thursday. it’s a cloudy start.

We had a nice walk along the Trent embankment yesterday and into West Bridgford, browsed around a few charity shops and had lunch in a cafe, I managed to avoid the temptation of the nice looking pubs with people sitting outside enjoying the sunshine, we went in a cafe for lunch.

Today the Tesco man will be coming with our weekly shop which seems to go up in price every week, apart from that no other plans we’ll see how the day unfolds.

It was rather chilly today & a marked difference to the Weather from yesterday here.

Was taken by surprise by the Didzy news today that his injury would rule him out of the playoffs.

I remain optimistic that Notts can turn things around on Saturday. Jodi Jones believes they have a good chance, so I will keep believing.

Watched the classic film "Logan's Run" with Michael York, Jenny Agutter, & Peter Ustinov, this evening.

Merry Christmas! 

No, I’ve not gone crazy  that’s what we are up to today, having our Christmas present.

A bit late as it’s been difficult to get a time when all 4 of us are free, we are off to a Derbyshire restaurant for a posh 3 course,, child free, lunch with our son and daughter-in-law. 

It’s the best sort of present, it doesn’t need shelf space, we don’t have to dust it and the memories will last forever.

It will be nice to talk without the kids, although we do enjoy going out with them it’s rare to have an adults only chat so will make a change.

It's been a lovely morning & early afternoon here. Not a cloud in the sky. Just a light breeze to keep one comfortable when sitting out in the garden.

Did some errands for the wife, with some shopping  at the local store & posting some letters. Washed the Car at the local car wash. 

Apparently it has been one of the sunniest springs that we've experienced for a while. We've had as many hours of Sun than the whole of spring & summer of 2024.

Can we final get a summer to compete with the summer 1976?

[Fan of Big Tone 𝕏 @mainstandpie]

Wow, what a fine dining meal we had at The Peacock Hotel at Rowsley in Derbyshire, if your wallet will run to it I can recommend this place, our son paid because it was our Christmas present, he wouldn’t say how much it was but we roughly totted it up and he wouldn’t have got much change out of £500 for a 3 course meal with drinks for 4 people, it was fabulous.

I need a kip now.

Good morning, it’s matchday. A cloudy start here so far.

I’ll be watching the match with Mrs. T and Chloe, hoping for a miracle, then I might watch the cup final and then Eurovision which is less of a contest for good songs and more of a spectacle of bizarre costumes but good for a laugh.

Have a great day and COME ON YOU PIES!

It was a cloudy day here with just a few sunny intervals. 

Well that's the end of the Notts season till the middle of August. How quickly the season as gone by.

Of course the next thing on the agenda is the retained list. Will we see Didzy & Jatta in the black and white again? Will Didzy get a contract extension, will Jatta be sold?

Seven players, Tyler Miller, Sam Slocombe, Zac Johnson, Sam Austin, Madou Cisse, Charlie Whitaker, & Didzy. All these players contracts run out in June.

And of course George Abbott will return to Spurs.

[Fan of Big Tone 𝕏 @mainstandpie]

Good morning happy Sunday, the sun is trying to peek through the clouds, how are we all this morning, feeling sad, resigned, philosphical? I’m sure we’ll get over it, no one died. We’ll be back next season cause that what we do.

Anyway last night I watched Eurovision which I actually thought was half decent this year some good songs and fantastic stage production.

Today we’ll have a walk and later we’ve got some pork steaks and sausages to put on the bbq.

Have a great day everyone.
