Great company
Well, it’s another lovely sunny morning, and I’m
sitting here in front of the computer with a cool
breeze coming in from the window. It’s quiet
outside as the morning rush hour has yet to
start. The birds are tweeting in the garden and
it’s very peaceful.
We had a very busy weekend seeing our four girls
and other family members. We went round to our
daughter R’s house in Bramcote, to celebrate all
the birthdays. One of the children did a rain
dance, whereupon it rained heavily for two hours
throughout the BBQ time. We sheltered under a mini-
marquee, huddled together, while people (well,
mainly my son-in-law) took it in turn to hold a
large umbrella over the BBQ. Lovely to have some
rain after the incredible heat of the past week or
two.
We put up two of our girls and a niece for the
weekend, and had a lot of visitors too, so we’ve
gone from having a houseful of people to now, just
Mrs C and myself. A big contrast, but one we’ve
grown used to. I’m sad to see everyone go, but
.. hey .. they’re all not far away.
By the way, I did a special cooked breakfast on
Saturday morning as it was Mrs C’s birthday. We
started with fresh grapefruit and Tropicana orange
juice, and then had poached egg on toast with tinned
tomatoes, mushrooms, vegetarian sausage (Cauldron
Lincolnshire, which we think are the best), and wild
rocket, plus a mug of tea. Delicious.
Today, I’ve got a few phone calls to make, some
paperwork to do, an AGM to go to in the city centre,
do some bush/tree pruning in the garden, and then
some cooking – some new potatoes and green veg to
go with the end of yesterday’s lentil loaf (which
Mrs C made). I might watch a bit of “Richard & Judy”
and “Coro” with Mrs C, and catch up on some TV drama/
documentary that we’ve previously videoed. We like
watching “Silent Witness”, though last night’s plot
was OTT I thought … the body count was too high.
While we’re televising, we’ll probably have a glass
or two of wine or a cold beer, and be visited by one
or two of our cats. They’re great company.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend. No rain here sadly - we need it so much. Our lawn is nearly dead.
Yes, Silent Witness was well OTT last night. It's better though since Amanda Burton went (she was so dull) - Emilia Fox is very pretty!! All those bits they cut out of the bodies always rather puts me off the glass of red wine I tend to be clutching when I watch it!!
Have a great week.
Kitty: I thought Part 2 of Silent Witness was somewhat better, with an interesting interweaving plot, and less gore. It's becoming like a blend of CSI and Six Feet Under, with some of the technical wizardry plus long scenes showing grief-stricken characters.
I like watching Emilia Fox and the Scottish actress, Ruth Millar, (who played the sergeant who was killed). Both of them stunningly attractive.
