24 May
Oh what a miserable day. It’s dark and raining quite
heavily at the moment. We were hoping for a trip out, even if it was to the
market but there’s no way we are going out in that. It’s also a bank holiday;
how many long well planned long weekends are now ruined. I’ve just remember
though, it was two years ago this weekend that I made a bid (it’s the new way
that housing hopefuls have to go about expressing interest in an empty
property), on our flat. Jan was in hospital and had an operation, after which
she had her first mini-stroke. It was that stroke made me make the bid! We
haven’t regretted having made the bid either.
While Jan was out and about she saw so chest of draws
and bought two of them. Yesterday she spent making the first up. When she called
me about them she said they were really nice; now the first one made and it is
clear why she liked them. We will get a tad wet methinks when we go out to get
the next one in ready for making up.
It’s our normal weekend to have Kile but right now I’m
pleased he isn’t here. Yesterday we finished clearing the wall unit ready for
being collected. Well, that’s gone but we now have stuff all over the place because
we had to move things for the unit to be taken out. Once Jan has finished the
next set of drawers we can get back to normal. BUT … all this is not why Kile
isn’t with this weekend.
During the week his mum and partner Danny, went off to
Liverpool for a couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed their time away. The
shine was dulled somewhat when they got back to learn that Kile, who had been
staying with Sam’ best mate, had really played her up. Now he is on punishment
for what he has done. As Jan said to Sam, if he comes to us he’s being
punished, and it will be too late to deal with it when he goes back. If they go
off again we will have him, he will not play us up like that!
History lesson time, and there’s lots of events to be written
about. We Brits are always on about the weather, just have a look above again. In
1686 the man who invented the mercury thermometer was born. It is thanks to Gabriel
Fahrenheit that we have a way of measuring how warm or cold it is. These days Dartmoor
Prison is one of the places where Category A prisoner are sent to. However, when
it opened in 1809, it was used to house French prisoners of war.
And so a photo … yes, got one!
This BMW was racing around
Asda car park and I snapped this one when he pulled up beside the disabled parking
bays. The driver shouted that he wasn’t going to park in one of the bays; but
if I hadn’t taken this shot I think he would have stopped where he was so one
of his passengers could get and out of the store more quickly.
Today’s Funny …
I am
always amazed when after a major airplane crash, they identify victims from
dental records. I don’t get it, if they don’t know who you are, how do they
know who your dentist is?
