Sitting in the garden

Albert is painting today.

Me - I am sitting on the lawn, drinking tea and/or lemonade and reading a book.

We will need to go out for tea.

Another Paul

I remember Paul the plumber; he was fun.

Did I just write that?

Disappointed

What a shame - I wanted to see Paul Sinha, comedian who is appearing in York.

Albert wants to take me to bingo ..........!

Felicity

Felicity, the short story is that I started to write about me and my pal Veronica; and events and other people overtook.

We are not ready to stop in and drink tea all day, perhaps in another twenty years?

Decorating

Albert has been busy decorating this week and I found it necessary to stay away from the paint fumes!

Felicity Tiffany Limejuice

Albert and I joined Warwick and Bernicia yesterday to celebrate Warwicks birthday.

I could tell you about the fabulous day we had sat in a pub beer garden but I won't.

I wanted to tell you about Felicity (a friend of Bernicia's) who told me she didn't understand EuniceandVeronica - tomorrow I shall explain it to her.

A writing meeting

I am meeting Paul Clarkson Onions tomorrow; he is on an assignment near York.

Who is he, Paul is a youngish sports journalist I met some years ago when he was cycling to Liverpool from Heptonstall. I had actually lost track of him and never knew if he completed his journey?

Sorry Martin I cannot visit you and Albert your lunch is in the fridge.

Russia

Hello Russia - I appear to be popular here.

BBC

Perhaps I should return the BBC'S telephone call - what do you think?

A dead tree

Many years ago Mabel Elizabeth asked me to take care of her son's tree, a spruce type.

I did look after it, even though I didn't like it, I am sure it thrived to spite me.

Suddenly last week it appears to have died - I should not have told Mabel Elizabeth as she said I murdered it!

Out for the day Albert as I am looking for a replacement tree.

Missed call

The BBC rang today but I was out visiting Martin - I hope they call again.

Allotment drama

Martin Swan was missing and Preston Puddle telephoned to ask if I had seen him?

I had seen Martin picking his broad beans as I left and assumed he was locking up.

Trevor and Norman collected me and we set off for the allotment; Albert was invited.

It was dark when we arrived, we split up to search shouting Martin's name - there was a reply ........ poor Martin had fallen in the communal compost bin.

He is still in hospital but improving.

Tuesday

Yes I know Michael Fusewire  I said Monday - soon I promise; perhaps after dinner and a small sherry? 

Hospital visiting

Such a busy week - Martin was locked in the  allotment and Albert bought new curtains.

Tell you on Monday.

Grounded

It is raining today so may have to stay in - I wonder where the dusters are?

Cabbage, lettuce and onions

Midnight planting was not a good idea when Albert locked me out!

A present

Albert is learning how to order goods on line. However he has purchased a poly tunnel for the garden, so I don't have to visit the allotment so often.

I will send it back!

Rushing

 Must dash as I am meeting Dahlia Lilly, a famous author in Sheffield.

Albert is baking?

Slimming

I need to lose weight, so putting Albert on a diet too.

He may insist I go out often so he can eat what he wants?

Radishes

My radishes are over 3 feet tall!

Cornwall re-visited

I mentioned to Albert that we may not return to Cornwall; it was a seven hour journey home - we could have caught a flight to a Caribbean island in less time.

Also, we had to listen to Neal from Hexham telling us how to make a sweet and sour, curried pigeon stew - NO WAY!
