Good morning/afternoon everyone. Blustery day here today after a rainy night, but dry now thank goodness. I've got to catch my fish in the little pond today and put them in something ready for the man coming tomorrow to empty the pond and move it and put the new path in. So hopefully it'll stay dry today and tomorrow. 

Morrisons delivered and they're worse than ASDA. I ended up having to drive to Bodmin to ASDA to get what Morrison's hadn't sent. I won't use them again. Not sure I'll try out Tesco, they're quite a lot more expensive which only leaves Sainsbury's. I do go in Sainsbury's sometimes when I'm down that way but not very often and they are more expensive than Tesco's so looks like I'm stuck with ASDA. I was chatting to the ASDA store manager in Bodmin today and he reckons it all depends when you book your delivery for, mines always between 9am and 10am so he explained when St Austell get their fresh deliveries and bread etc and advised to pick a time around 11am to 1pm. So next week I'll try 11-12pm  It's like planning a military operation now just to get a grocery home delivery lol

Got my letter from the bank today explaining what to do online to release the loan funds which should then go into my current account within 2 working days. I had no problems applying or going through the procedure and it was approved within an hour. Very simple.

I use AgeUK a lot Diane, I have their friendship call every Tuesday at 4.30 when a lovely lady from Tonbridge Wells calls me for an hour's natter. We just put the world to rights and exchange what's happened in our lives over the previous week. We're not allowed to give our personal details to each other which seems stupid, because I'd like to show her some pics of the garden as she's a self employed gardener and so is her hubby and she would love to see some of my craft work but it's not allowed. pffft.  I suppose it's to safeguard the elderly but the people they have as volunteers have all been vetted so I don't see the problem to be honest. 

Oh well time to get off me bum and get 'fishing' lol  Enjoy your day everyone xxx

I've got a mid week pass with ASDA, its any number of deliveries between Tuesdays and Thursdays. It's saved me a lot of money too. I think it was £35 for the year and also get priority for bank holiday and christmas/easter slots and usually at christmas I can book 3 weeks in advance for delivery christmas week. It's a Godsend really. The problem down here is tourists. In the summer it's horrendous to get anything in the shops, they're like swarms of locust and now they've twigged on it's easier to get home deliveries to their caravans and holiday homes, One driver told me last year he had to deliver to camper vans several times in the summer. Not sure how that works.  In the winter deliveries are better with no substitutes cos the tourists have almost all gone home except for a few die hards.  

I've had Iceland and didn't find them too bad but you can't really do a weeks shop from them cos they don't stock everything.

 

Good morning everyone.

Dry and sunny here.

I'm off to Knit and Natter then Chair Yoga later.

Not so brave Starry. I used to cut hubby's hair then did mine when we were locked down and unable to go anywhere. It was always touch and go whether I kept on doing it or went back to a hairdresser as it always looked fine to me 

Good morning everyone.

It's dry at the  moment after a very windy night. I'd like to try to get out and tidy up the front - but crocheting might call instead. I will do the washing though 

Good morning everyone.

After a very wet night it's dry at the moment. For how long is anyone's guess.

I'm waiting to hear what is or not happening today with Maya and Lola and whether Jefferson arrives today or tomorrow.  I've got a collection at Argos that I Hope Paul can collect on the way whenever and can divert.  At least when Jefferson arrives I know I'm in apart from walks (and Knit and Natter, hopefully) until he leaves

Hope the porch/summer room goes ahead beautifully Hazel. Your garden is looking very smart and mature.
