 SATURDAY - Another chilled out day took Helen to sister circle in the evening picked her up at eight p.m then called in to Aldi bought nothing much went home and watched You Tube .Got my t-shirts from Joe brown they got delivered whilst I was out .

SUNDAY - Went to Ikea bought a unit and plinth to house mainly the dog and cat food it has four drawers and two baskets I am claiming one drawer for myself to house my leads for laptops and other gadgets I own the drawers wont house my laptops they are too big will able to store my fire tablet and keyboard .I will assemble the units tomorrow also bought like Radiohead a fake plastic tree its a bamboo at  least it wont die we also got new duvet cover and pillow cases .

Went to Holmfield Arms we had a voucher to use so it was a cheap meal Helen had steak ale pie and I had the pulled lamb shepherds pie the food was ok it is the first time we have seen the pub we have driven past the entrance 100's of time but never have we gone into the car park and followed the road round to the pub the pub is massive and done out really nice we will go back in summer and sit out even if it is just for a drink .

SNOWED IN

TUESDAY - Went out and bought a new twin bin from Dunelm its similar to the one we have the peddles are different and this ones black which look good with the white shutters £70 nothing is cheap anymore .We also bought a new mop bucket for the living room laminate flooring , it was half price .All the shutters are finished all in place and sealed and all looking good .Decided to have the kitchen window done we was not bothered when we ordered the shutters now we want it doing £320 be nine to eleven weeks .

Bought the game for Ps5 "Uncharted Legacy Of Thieves " got it mainly because it reminded me of Tomb Raider games and I am not really  liking the  "Ghost Of Yotei", Set up my Air book to remote play games looks well good .I also bought a add on keyboard and case for my Kindle fire tablet works well it is also back light board good for the night .

THURSDAY - Snowing again started in the afternoon says it will last until three in the morning rang in work said I wouldn't be coming in cant risk getting the car stuck and not  to get not have any way of getting home walking Miles and miles in the snow is not an option as I doubt I would make it .They will just have to do without me .Ordered three T-shirts from Joe Browns one is long sleeved similar to one I already have but in red .My ps5 game Uncharted came will not install it yet .Two games I am looking at is Reanimal and the Res evil . 

FRIDAY - It is raining looks like the snow will melt and  get washed away by the time I go to work if it changes from rain to snow then chances are no work  again today .I went to work it was ok least its the weekend .

SHUTTERS UP

 FRIDAY - Woke up to a snowy street and roof tops it is not too bad it i snow lightly raining so I cant see the snow lasting long which is good .

latest buys on Amazon Helen bought another Ninja Crispi air fryer and I bought a foldable blue tooth keyboard with track pad and for the price of £21.99 its very good .

By late afternoon all of the snow had more or less vanished which is good make getting to and from home a lot more easier and safer .

SUNDAY - Went to Dearne Valley farm for Sunday dinner we thought it be a nice quaint family run Inn with fresh food it was a carvery some what like Toby carvery we ate there anyway it was £28 for the both of us no drinks they had three meats , beef , turkey and ham we had all three. There was mash potatoes , parsnips and roast potatoes stuffing and other veg like carrots , and broccoli .To be fair it was ok nothing earth shattering a steady six out of ten doubt we will ever go there again on the way there we saw another couple of pubs to try out at a later day .

MONDAY - The lad from Kestrel Blinds came to start fitting the shutters starting on the patio doors very professional high standards all the gear nice clean job the blinds look well good makes a big difference to the appearance of the room we now have no curtain poles or curtains on any of the windows .At night our bedroom is a lot darker we left the top section opening to see the night sky.

 

THE DOGS ATE IT

 SATURDAY - Painted the kitchen we was going to do it the same colour has the main living room but we must have used it  all , so I painted it brilliant white instead cleaned the tops of the units and work tops had to move everything off the pan rack and off the windows ledges and worktops took a good few hours to get it all done .Longer than I thought we had a late tea of steak jacket potatoes and four cheese spread .

SUNDAY - Went to Acaster Malbis picked Helens parents up and her cousin Sharon and went to the Ship Inn , the river Ouse had risen and the car park was totally  flooded we all had a Sunday Lunch I had the trio of meat why have one when you can have three it came with Yorkshire pudding , roast potatoes and red cabbage , swede , parsnips and carrots for desert I had the chocolate fudge cake with ice cream for the size of fudge cake it should have come with two scoops of ice cream rather than one but apart from that the meal was very good three ordered the roast beef which was pink in the middle which not everyone likes it cooked this way plus it was tough her mother requested a steak knife .We went home with a doggie bag full of beef the dogs loved it .

On the way home I stopped of in Kippax to drop a birthday card of for my daughter her birthday is on the 27th next Tuesday she will be 34 years of age .

NEW DOG FOOD

 MONDAY - Got a bad case of Gandhi's revenge but not had a curry if you know you know .Went to Ikea in Leeds picked up Helens son Ste his first ever visit .We bought some coasters , black pan hooks , some dog blankets a lint/hair remover with extra sticky rolls  and two  new toilet brushes but best of all I bought a Ikea tool kit for a fiver hammer , pliers , wrench and screwdriver with interchangeable bits I use to have one a few years ago ,but  no doubt someone borrowed it and I never got it back .Ste also had his first ever Ikea hot dog .We saw a nice shade for the bedroom light fitting they didn't have it in Leeds but have some in Sheffield looks like tomorrow we go to Sheffield 

TUESDAY - The dogs food cam from Butternut Box we have enough for fourteen days there is beef , chicken , game , pork , lamb and even salmon it is more like human food made from all natural ingredients and is steam cooked and vacuumed sealed we put one to defrost three in the fridge and the rest in the freezer because it is fit for human consumption you can heat it in the microwave or oven if they are fussy dogs and prefer it warm the smells of cooking will make it more appealing and appetising I love a good stew but wouldn't fancy eating it cold we have to transition them over to the new food over seven days mixing it with the old dog food they are eating atm .Rose actually ate most of the new food which is a good start .

OUR ONLY BEEF

 SATURDAY - Took Helen over to Meltham to do two hour readings I waited in the car watching You Tube etc killing two hours for me is easy peasy I have done up to five hours on the odd occasion .
