Peggy's Mundane Thread

Up early, give wife a cup off tea and the morning paper in bed, We have a long day in front of us.

How long ?

Off to town - pants for the daughter and a new bedspread for me - how exciting my life is!

It a long story, We have the little ones coming over soon and they having a sleep over.

A long day and a long story. This might take a long time.

Meanwhile, having been wide awake during the night, I didn't wake up until 9:30. This will be a short day.

It will drag from 3pm till about 10-2-5, after which normal service will apply.

In other news, there is actual blue sky and sunshine visible in Cornwall this morning. WTF is that all about?

It snowed last night in Callington.

The long day as started, we are, we not, we are, we are not, maybe we go to the football with you and it only 1315.

Have been up to the park to take some seedlings from my garden to my allotment greenhouse, and nab a few leeks, brussels and kale in the process. And some heavenly parsnips.
It's pretty miserable up there, blowing a gale nearly. Anybody who pops up this afternoon seriously needs to understand why they can't think of anything better to do. It's not as if it's a community enterprise anymore, and even the Board members tell you you're not welcome.

Great programme!

Fish and chips for tea and a nice cup of PG.

Took the small people swimming after school today and - at last - I've found the key to persuading them to get out of the pool, have a quick shower (as opposed to a very slow one), dry their hair on a towel instead of faffing about with the hair dryers for about half an hour, get dressed and get in the flippin car.

It's easy. Take them to Lidls on the way there and let them choose a chocolate bar / cake / cookie (one each) for after swimming. And, of course, leave said items in the car.

When that ceases to work Peggy you could always try Seadogs solution to a problem and throw small veggies, potatoes,onions and such things at them. Mind you that might only work if said small people start shitting on your lawn.   

Mars bar and peanuts for brekky today... The pub across the road was still having fun at 6am this morning

Off to Calstock for lunch and a couple of glasses of vino   

Going by boat.

one and a half

Mount Edgcumbe and beyond today. The camelias are beginning and won't be long before the smaller of the magnolia burst forward. It's all looking a bit weather beaten, and probably the lowest tide I've ever seen, but glad to see PCC are still keeping up with the pruning/management etc.
It's an absolute gem of a public asset, and credit where credit is due, I actually think PCC are doing a better REAL job than the often too romantic National Trust who often think they're putting on a stage show. Not that I don't support the NT, but well done PCC. Thank gawd Edgcumbe doesn't have a plump professional football club attatched to give cover to nefarious activities, but then Edgcumbe is grade 1 listed landscape. A pity Central Park ain't.

Does that mean it's not needed other nights?
