Blue Bins

Today is a happy day. Four weeks ago we forgot to put out the blue bins, with the recycling paper card glass plastic and tins. Today, two collections later, we have caught up with ourselves again.

Last week of August

Great day at Harlow Carr with Ann, lunch at Bolton Abbey tea rooms on the way, meal at the Wheatsheaf Beetham with Kath on my way back.
Lovely evening with P & A on Wednesday.
DP did the ice bucket challenge on Thursday, then we went to Ask for his birthday.
Fun lunchtime at no 125 on Saturday - interesting folk.
Talk about Daily manna by Kath on Sunday.
Ann made apple cake yesterday. Very good.

Bank holiday weekend

Great meal with friends on Friday, good weather for the picnic on Sunday, Lovely day with Ann at Harlow Carr on Monday.

Inspiring Family

Thank you for knowing three generations of an inspiring family. A party celebrating a 50 year birthday, a brother and sister accompanying each other singing and playing clarinet, and a 75 year old in poor health starting a new adventure.

New lino in one bathroom, a new light bulb in the other. Glorious scenery driving to and from Sheffield, AP driving practice. Roast beef at lunch.

Commonwealth Games

Thankful for a cycle ride this morning, watching abseiling in Liverpool, and diving in Edinburgh this evening - watching Tom Daley win gold.

cake

Thankful for home made cake made with home grown blackberries, and also, on a day that Ann was tired from three social engagements, a wash load, and making the cakes, there was mince already cooked yesterday in the fridge for our evening meal.
