 SATURDAY - Did a twelve hour shift four hours overtime finished  Saturday morning at 06.00 a/m got home just before seven cooked a fried spam and egg sandwich and made a coffee .I didn't go to bed Helen had a nail appointment at 10.45 seemed pointless I took her down and drove back home I laid out on the sofa until it was time to pick her up a couple of hours later .

We ended up driving to Sheffield to Meadow Hall it was after five when we got there Helen bought some tops , vests and leggings from Primark and a couple of tops from Fat Face . On the way home we stopped at the local Holmfirth chippy and got two fish one bag of chips a large battered sausage two bread cakes and a carton of peas and a carton of curry sauce for me .I was really tired watched some You Tube be for going to bed just before midnight .

SUNDAY - Went and bought some provisions we needed I was going to cook a beef cobbler for Sunday dinner .I needed swede , carrots , beef mince . onion , as well as coffee , pear cider , coke , dog and cat food and bread .The picture below is a stock photo I forgot to take a picture but needless to say it was legend , we had Yorkshire pudding and air fried chips and loads of gravy 

ALL FLUFFED UP

 MONDAY - Its raining again we have had too much rain over the last few months roll on summer .Rosie is going to the groomers this morning she looks like a Rasta hair coat is long and is starting to get matted .

As the groomers is popular you sometimes have to wait longer then the normal eight weeks but they know her and will look after her .A few hours later to be precise around two hours and £42 Rosie is done she was smelling nice was very soft and was excited to see me when I picked her up , hopefully she is not too cold on her morning walk specially if its windy .Helen bought her a new jumper just in case . 

WEDNESDAY - Break up this Friday for a whole nine days off work including two weekends i also get paid on the Tuesday have loads of films to watch. I still have not heard anything from my delinquent son my daughter has sold her house and has had the offer on a five bed confirmed . 

SUNDAY CONTINUED

 SUNDAY CONTINUED - We went to the Foxglove Inn at Kirkburton a few miles away this after our trip to Halifax .We went home for a tea and coffee and to book a table for five for Sunday lunch at the Foxglove .

we both had the same Duck and orange parfait with toasted sour dough bread and red onion chutney for our mains we both ordered the Sunday Trio sirloin of beef , pork belly and crackling and and turkey breast served with seasonal greens roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding Helen ordered a side of cauliflower cheese the dinner comes with as much gravy as you want.

But they messed up and brough us two turkey dinners when we pointed it out the brough use a side plate off beef and belly pork so we got a lot more meat then we should have  it was very filling .It came to £65.It was dark when we left the meal was really good we both enjoyed it all it couldn't have been better .Helen did leave quite a bit of meat which we took home for the dogs , we have never had a bad meal at any of the Vintage Inns we have visited which is five on numerous occasions. 

DAY OUT IN HALIFAX

 SUNDAY - Helen as been nattering to go to Hebden Bridge for the last few weeks so we went mid morning we eventually got parked up to be honest it was not worth the cost of petrol it has become a dump crappy vegan cafes or overpriced arty shops looked like the shop keepers who's leases moved out years ago due to the flooding cant say I blame them it was dismal least I got free parking the only good thing I can comment on .It is nowhere near as good as it was a few years ago I doubt we will go back .

We decided to go to Piece hall in Halifax last time we went it wasn't that good a lot of the shops were empty today there was a lot more retailers to be fair 100% better we walked round both tiers i am sure we went around the top level twice .Helen bought a incense holder in the shop o f a long black box with ornate fret work to let the smoke out and stink up your room .At the far end of the picture there are outside seating for the bars which there never was they are also staging concert in the summer time Blondie is one act that is appearing .

NO GO

 TUESDAY - We have two tins of corned beef to do a corned beef hash we have not cooked one for ages cant wait for tea time.

SATURDAY - Went to Pudsey civic hall there was a health & healing festival it was ok Helen enjoyed it she bought some incense sticks and a couple of hand made necklaces .After we went to M&S at Owlcoates she bought a table runner that had been reduced .We went to Greggs had wedges and a sausage roll .

In the evening we was going to our favourite chippy on Hollowgate  bottom of Dunford road we could get down to the bottom the road it was sectioned off no idea why , So we diverted and still couldn't access the street  that the chippy for some reason there was was  a big police presence a total no go area so we had to go to Compo's instead  which used to be our favourite one not any more think its changed hands and they are  not as good ,  but still  not bad fish and chips .As far as we know there was someone who discharged a gun think the bullet hit some bystander it was unintentional .But never less an offence  

.

SNOW DAY

  WEDNESDAY - Midweek already watched the latest film staring Jason Statham "The Beekeeper" it was ok a typical over the top beat em up and shoot em up film with  some great over the top fight scenes was  worth watching .

We have been forecasted snow over the next 48 hours will it wont it is the big question if it does might get a long weekend .

THURSDAY - Snow day doubt very much I will be going out never mind going to work ,snow days are always appreciated they come out of the blue which is different to booking time off we always seem to be on the verge of running out of something when the snow hits , last time it was toilet rolls this time round it was dog and cat food but by the day after it was ok to drive down to the village .Where we live can snow quite bad and lays pretty quick but in the city twenty odd miles away they will have little or no snow .

WEEKEND - Did very little chilled out went to Fox valley Sunday bought a joint of pork and gammon for Sunday dinner  most of the snow is gone.

SUNDAY DINNER

 THURSDAY - Nothing going on a average stay at home day took the dogs out Helen did a couple of readings did a slow cook stew .

SATURDAY - Helen had more readings two people came to the house .Ring door bell playing up again its a pain in the arse to set it up it goes so far then goes to a page asking if i want to transfer device ones it hits this page i cant go back when i restart the process it takes me to the same fucking page and I cant get any further .

SUNDAY - Got up walked the dogs did a slightly different walk they will only go so far on this walk not sure why before they want to turn back .

We went over to my daughters house in Stanley for Sunday lunch we had chicken and beef and all the trimmings it was very much appreciated it's always nice when someone else does the cooking .It was a good end to a week of doing nothing much .It's back at work tomorrow but only for a few weeks as I have leave at the end of February and end of March for a week .

Still not heard from my son I have no idea what he is up to or where he lives cant fathom out his  logic hopefully he is doing fine .
