NO WORK TODAY .

 MONDAY - De weeded the back garden there was quite a few growing even flourishing I must have taken out three bucket fulls the garden I looking more brown then green as you can see more soil .

We ordered a two seater wooden bench to go under the window we cant pick it up until next Monday also bought a hanger for the garden hose that fits to the wall near the outside tap .

WEDNESDAY - Went to Slaithwaite to get my haircut Helen was getting hers coloured her reindeer was picking her up and she was spending the rest of the day with her . I went hone after I had been to the supermarket for dog food , ground coffee , coffee pods , sugar , sunflower oil there is a shortage but managed to get some , I spent the rest of the day chilling until it was time for work .

Ordered some various sizes S.D.S drill bits need to order some various size plastic wall plugs I don't have any suitable ones most  I have are for cavity walls . The  countersink drill bits and plug cutters to make wooden pellets  came the other day I am fitting some dado rail at my daughters house this coming Sunday .

My Son told me again that he  is going to start to pay me back some of the money that he owes that he has borrowed over the last five years , He is starting  from next week great news .The trouble is in the past  he has lied and his  promises have been false I don't think his word oaths pledges mean anything they are just sounds coming from his mouth . But as always I give him the benefit of my doubt I really hope this time he keeps his word . Yes I want the money back or at least some portion of the money back .But also it is about principal and ethics as well and also commitment to keeping a job and to stick to what you say if he cant do that then in my eyes he is not much of a man  or a Son .

THURSDAY - I am still hell bent on getting a new Mac Book Air unless the price is ridiculous then I will get a Mac book my savings is doing really good I have half the money saved I know when the time comes I won't want to spend it saving to spend instead of just saving that's other reason I want so much each week off my son .

Picking dog poo up from the back yard and my back went a shooting pain in my lower back I couldn't move took a while to straighten up its a horrible pain so intense took some ibuprofen and ordered 14 curaheat patches of Amazon though it was going to be that bad as the day progressed it did get easier but I have to be cautious and careful how I move expecting it to get worse fingers crossed it doesn't . I been sat upright most of the day I see walking up and down don't want my back to lock .

HALF SIZED

 Bought some things of eBay and Amazon bought some wired ear buds which had a good write up and reviews a pair of KZ ZS10 Pros in matt black for under fifty quid excellent buy sound quality real .I added a Prozor head phone amplifier it is not as good as I hoped but it does improve the sound quality some what  maybe I was expecting more than it delivers as the ear buds on there own are good enough .

I also bought a 39 piece socket set putting the hanging baskets up I used coach bolts and my cordless drill with a socket bit was not strong enough that was under twenty pound I won't be using often so its more than good enough for my needs .

Bailey finally made it to the groomers for his coat cutting , thought I would  try somewhere different it was less money nearer and in my opinion a better cut , as you can see he looks the dogs bollocks .He is half the size he used to be he looks like a puppy .

Bought some new T-Shirts for summer two Nike and one Adidas finally bought some new North Face sliders need breaking in as well as a bum bag for my phone keys and wallet should have bought one ages ago so handy .

SATURDAY - Watched the new Batman film I love the batman movies I was not impressed it was good in parts but overall not brilliant hated the Bat-mobile hated the ending struggled watching it until the end I was tired and it was not making it w=easy to stay awake I think I dropped of a couple of times a third of the way through Helen went to bed .

SUNDAY - Went to visit my son have not seen him for a while he looked well he is still living in a static home he needs to decorate and get some different curtains and sort out his bedroom checked his fridge at least he had some food in and no beer which was good .After leaving my sons went to visit Helens parents they both seemed well .We left the some braising steak in the slow cooker it was ready when we returned home .

GREENSIDE UP

 MONDAY - Started to plan the front garden its going to get a make over .Went to the garden centre bought six rolls of turf .We are taking out all the plants and bushed and shrubs .They are going to get replanted in the rear garden .Then we will turn over the soil and lay the turf the only thing you really need to know when laying turf is green side up.We also bought two baskets to go under the window cill and a new bigger hanging basket and bracket for the wall as well as two new planters for each side of the front door and two topiary bushed to go in them just them was £150 like everything gardening is not cheap .

We have also feed the lawn and seeded it as well hopefully it will take a hold and grow and hopefully look all the same colour most of it was from the same batch one of the rolls did not look that good so we replaced it along with another one that had a fe moss patches growing and they came from a different batch .

Went to the Fleece at Holme for Sunday lunch it was spot on I had the belly pork and Helen the roast beef and pork we have been before but way before covid for desert Helen had apple pie and ice cream I had the fudge cake just for a change .It was a £54 with drinks so more costly then cooking it ourselves but we was tired from or jaunt to Liverpool yesterday so why not .

MONDAY - Put the castors on to the corner sofa so we can move it to open the door to get to the under stairs storage .I put eleven castors on and it glides like a dream so easy not sure why I didn't fo this before the castors cost £36 for a dozen so by far it was the cheapest and easiest option problem solved .

HELEN AND K.P

 I want to find a book that holds my interest that I cant put down that once its finished I will read again then in a few years later read again .I want to find a film that is worth watching that's a great story with twists and turns . I want to find a game for my console that I can loose my self in that I cant stop playing with great graphics and open world to explore .

ordered Mafia definitive edition there are other ones in the series looks good from the you Tube videos but they always do .

Downloaded the new Red Hot Chilli Peppers album "Unlimited Love"and I am reading a biography about Elon Musk weird how the planets align .

SATURDAY - Helen was working all day I dropped her off at ten in the morning I chilled out until I picked he dup at five .Went on the new X-box game Mafia Definition did the first four levels I am liking it so far so good .

We nipped home after picking Helen up just  to let the dogs out before going to our local The Boshaw Trout for our tea of course both being totally predictable we both had fish and chips yet again but they are that nicely cooked  we stick with it every time we  go there and as you can see below yes they tasted as good as they looked .

After we went for a late night shop at Asda bought three  new frying pans and a wok and some new plastic utensils the largest frying pan has a lid which also fits the wok which is good .

SUNDAY - Helens son is good friends with Kalvin Phillips the Leeds and England football player Helen has known Kalvin since his school days and today he was with Liam so we got to meet him in person what a genuine real and down to earth nice guy he is ,  I parked behind his Lamborghini Urus carefully , what awesome car .

Helen and I went to The Fox House Inn Holmfirth for Sunday lunch we had booked for half six we didn't know it stopped serving at 19.00 hours not impressed the only meat was beef the roast potatoes where like plastic no sauces out I cant eat roast beef without horse radish sauce it was nearly empty w have been to the Fox House a few times and I would recommend it , but not after this Sunday if this was our first meal there I wouldn't be going back its not the cheapest Carvery around and if they are still serving food it needs to be edible or they should shut up shop , the desert we had was spot on and there Inch cider excellent so all was not lost most of the veg was ok but only a 4/10 when usually its a 8/10 .
