Friday - my youngest, Joe is here for the weekend so we went to a café in Portland that we like, from breakfast, well brunch really because we waited for Tony to finish his morning round. Joe & I will have a wet wander in to town. Not sure what tea will bring but we will be off out after for a few bevvies. Saturday - Not sure about the morning but after lunch we'll wander down into town to visit the sea food fest, listen to some local bands & have some more beer, stagger home at some point. Sunday - Joe is off early, his football season has started, and although every year he says he's not playing anymore (he's 34), he signs up. Tony & I will amble down to the sea food fest again to listen to more bands & more beer. The have have a fish auction around 3pm and all the money goes to the local fisherman's fund. There has ben a lot of controversy over the fest because you now have to pay to get in but we enjoy it and as locals & early birds, we get it cheaper. Have a great weekend everyone

Tonight. Not sure but JB is making a lasagne. It's delicious! Tomorrow. Son and daughter-in-law dropping off youngest Greanddaughter for the weekend as it's Sons birthday so they're off out, so we're babysitting. He's just sent me a message asking me what our plans are so I told him that first she'll be cleaning the chimney, followed by polishing all the shoes and finishing with ironing haha. With the weather not being brilliant it'll be more like baking cookies, play-doh, painting etc Sunday. As she's staying over there's not allotment this weekend but, if it's not raining, we may pop in just to show her where her Nanna-GarGar spend a lot of their free time. The afternoon will be spent recovering from minding a three year old. They're exhausting!

Friday...Did a bit of woodwork in the cellar but it buggered me so watched a bit of cricket untill they went off for rain. Off out for my daily walk shortly, its quite bright after a dull start but theres a cool wind.
Home made Tomato and Courgette Soup followed by Salad for tea.
Saturday...Attempt a bit more work in the cellar. Walk and relax.
Chicken Curry for tea. I am cooking, how many chilli's do I risk putting in? Quite a few I reckon, I am feeling brave.
Sunday...Vide Grenier, (junk sale) in the streets of Plaisance which is about 3 miles from here. There is a classic car rally and a vintage tractor display. Then have a cross over the river to Curvalle and have a mooch around the allotments to see what is still growing.
Something simple for tea, it depends what Chrissie can rustle up quick if we are out most of the day. Could be Pork Echine with Ratatouille and Couscous. We have our own Peppers, Aubergines, Tomato's and Courgettes in the garden. But it could be something else.
Have a great weekend everybody.

Wish I had the enthusiasm to cook or actually do anything but I seem to have lost all my enthusiasm, I used to do proper cooking, lots of arty stuff but now I don't really do anything like that

Tonight - tea at Jean's then collect Elanor from the station. Tom isn't over this weekend as there's an e-sports tournament on for the next two weeks that he always watches.
Saturday - shopping for crocs and wellies for Elanor. She's off to Costa Rica for three months on an ecological/wildlife thing next Friday, and they're the last things she needs. Pizza for tea in front of the telly.
Sunday - enjoy my last day with my baby until Christmas (😢) before veggy lasagne and taking her to the station in the evening and a bit of a sniffle in the car on the way back.
Have a good 'un, folks.

Elanor (not Eleanor that auto corrected it to!) will have an amazing time and you know this! Yes it’ll be sad that you won’t see her until Christmas but that’s still this year. Poor Jayne didn’t see her boys for far longer so you’d better not be sad around her
Consider yourself told!!

Today(only just!): We went to the Woodshed at Combeinteignhead and had a lovely long chat with the owners as there weren't many customers. A restful afternoon, including a quick trip down to Dicey's for a pint with my mates from the Rugby Club. Posh Spag Bol for tea.
Tomorrow: It's the start of Teignmouth's Rugby season and they're at home, so if Sarah's having a good day I'll go and watch. It'll be strange not to be involved personally. We're having chicken curry too - it's a recipe from the old Independent newspaper back in the 80s. The original cutting from the paper is still under a magnet on our fridge, but I really should scan and print it before it disintegrates.
Sunday: Pint at the pub at noon, then roast lamb for a late lunch.

Everyone (adults and children) in education in Wales has a Hwb account. It has all sorts of useful stuff for teaching and learning, including email and free access to Microsoft Office.
Since I'm now officially retired my Hwb account is suspended, which is a pain in the bum as all my recipes were written out using Word on Hwb. 😡
