On This Day…
Saints at least got a point yesterday with a last minute goal from the penalty spot, after Scunthorpe too had a penalty in the first half.
Spent a huge part of yesterday taking 170 pictures of stuff that is now of no use to the family here and will get listed on EBay shortly. Mainly clothes and the kids old Beanie Babies! What fun…
Off for our bi-weekly visit to the farmers Market in Winchester in a few minutes. Probably get some fish for later and meat for a mid-week slow cook. It’ll please the dogs being in the car…not, but at least they get a walk on the way home in somewhere different, maybe the river?
Cousin Tricia emailed in the week to say that she and my Aunty Avril will be visiting the UK for a few weeks. It has been ‘boiling’ for some time, but they now have flight times and I will be collecting them on the Wednesday before Easter, 19th March. They hope to spend some time with my step mother, visit their sister/daughter in Spain and spend some time in Cheltenham and with us.

For Sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds; Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
