Riding high

This is Younger Daughter on her pony, Star in action last weekend. This pony is usually referred to as 'Asbo Pony' but that day she behaved herself - more or less...
Meanwhile, today is Keith's birthday, which means that for the next four months, he will be a year older than me again. Keith and I generally have the same attitude towards birthdays - they are best ignored - but he still gets cards and presents and, importantly for him, a cake!
Only a very small one.
"Look on it as me saving you from yourself," I suggested.
He wasn't convinced.


Hole in the ground

This is what happens round here when the road has just been resurfaced...

Well, it would be too straightforward to do the underground stuff first.

This weekend

Well, Dad's shingles attack is, thankfully, not too bad so I have come back home today to recommence looking after the other three males - Keith, Paddy and Jake.
While I was down at Dad's though, Kathy also made a flying visit, which meant we were able to have a good catch up.
Kathy is going to a wedding next weekend and has decided to dress in fifties style, even to the extent of acquiring some seamed stockings! It seems you really can get anything on Ebay.
After she got home yesterday, she sent me a photo of herself in her outfit.
Smart!



Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
