Tonight. For a change I am not driving to Daventry to collect one of our grandkids. It was the eldests turn but he wants to go out with his mates. Of course he does. He's 14 but still the start of them preferring their mates to their grandparents (as it should be of course but, on a selfish note, still sad for us). To make use of the 'free' time we now have we are going out with the MiBs for a curry at the Old Mo Arms in Balsall Heath. Will be able to watch the footy there too. Tomorrow. JB is off to footy in Donny. Hoping to be able to spend time in the garden. The strawberries bed needs tidying and the leaves need raking up. Rugby world cup in the afternoon/evening Sunday. Volunteering at the allotment in the morning. Rugby in the afternoon and (hopefully) evening
Have a good one everyone

The weather here remains wonderful. We had planned to go sloe picking all week but every morning we have heard the hounds and lots of shotgun fire very close to the village so we cancelled that. Yesterday however was quiet so we had a venture out and virtually stripped the sloe bushes in an hour or so.
Friday...
Chrissie is making sloe gin. She thinks we have enough for about a dozen bottles. My aches and pains have been better so I have managed to finish the framing of the false ceiling in the cellar stairwell this week and I am out of timber. I am a bit sore though this morning but will try a bit of tidying in the garden. On Monday I have a hospital appointment to sort out my neck. It makes horrible grinding and squishing noises when I move my head. I think its due to the enormous weight of my brain but Chrissie vehemently disputes this.
Pork Tagine and Couscous for tea.
Saturday...
Garden tidying then a quick run to the dump. Then an afternoon and evening of Rugby. Wales /Argentina should be close. Ireland / New Zealand should be a cracker.
Beef Casserole and Cobblers for tea.
Sunday...
Coupiac is surrounded by forest, and although its mixed the majority of the trees are chestnut, and the fruit are rolling around everywhere. So Sunday morning we are off gathering chestnuts.
Rugby in the afternoon and evening. I have no expectations at all of England. They could beat Fiji but to be honest I think they will get beaten comfortably. They have been pretty dire.
Looking forward immensely to France / South Africa. This should be brutal. We checked at the bar yesterday and it is closed. I was hoping they would show it on the Cinerama sized TV they have. Our miniscule TV will have to do.
Obviously I am rooting for France and am getting excited already.
Chrissie is making Seikh Kebabs and I am doing a curry of sorts, and beer
Have a good one everybody.

Make the most of that beautiful weather - it’s orrible here
Friday - TT up to Watford (well he went last night), meeting Family & going to the England game (my life it was a boring game). I went for a drive with a friend đŸ˜œ, we were looking for a waterfall that is advertised but every time we went to get near it we came up to a private road - oh well that’s for another day. We ended up in Portasham village, went into their local pub, The Kings Arms & had a started for lunch, the prices were so expensive we needed a mortgage just for that. Saturday - TT going to watch his grandson play footie before making his way home. Me, potter about & walk into town Saturday evening - off to a new restaurant called - Little Dishes, tapas, only opened on Thursday, then to The Pavilion to see Fleetwood Mac, obviously not them but a lookilikie Sunday - we now have a free day, it will probably involve a dump run, loads of garden rubbish. I refuse to pay for a garden collection, my garden is tiny & we would only fill one of those bins once a year. Anyway, that’s me & him, have a good one all xx
