FIRST BARBIE 2024

 MONDAY - Went over to my Daughters house got there just before midday the sun was hot clear blue skies .We stopped on the way to buy some hedge cutters and a new spray attachment for the hose .

We cut down a load of overgrown bushes , ivy entwined with some other bush and two giant palm trees over fifteen foot tall which we also  trimmed back the lower leaves and there was loads of waste .We filled the brown bin  to the top as well a dozen green bin liners but the garden looked better , and the electric  horning that sits over the patio doors actually had room to extended out .

Josh came home from work and fired up the barbeque we had sausages , burgers , belly pork , chicken skewers and kebabs our first barbeque of the year and the first barbeque they had in their new home .

The best thing about no twilight shift is i can sit in the garden and see the night gradually get darker and see the solar lights we have scatted about the garden magically turn on , sometimes it the simple things that make the day special a added can of ice cold cider helps too .

FRIDAY - Speed awareness course completed was up really early .Took the dogs out just after six a.m it was cold .Got to the course venue at quarter past seven the course started at eight a good seventy five percent where men it was over just after eleven it was informative it made sense and I learnt a couple of things I didn't know prior to the course so and it was enjoyable not a total waste of time going , but hopefully I will never need to do another will cant for the next three years .

NINE DAYS

 FRIDAY - Had some disturbing news regarding my son Guy if he carriers on doing what he is doing he will be dead before me , He is only 31 years old he has made bad life choices and he his heading on a path of destruction , with no way out . Until he decides that he needs professional help there is little or nothing at anyone can do for him .

Break up a whole nine days off got a few films to watch and a few audio books to listen to and a few eBooks to read and a few cans of pear cider to drink .

My Daughter arrived safely home from her wedding in Mauritius she is back home in her new house.

SATURDAY - Helen had readings in Halifax on the way back home we did some shopping before going to McDonalds we drove past Fox Valley the take away is just before you get on to the south bound stretch of the M1 heading for Sheffield .

SUNDAY - Went to the Springs outlet Helen bought some stuff from Fat Face and Next got a good discount using my blue light card .

HAPPY EVER AFTER

 THURSDAY - My daughters wedding on the Island of Mauritius went fine .The only snag was  they couldn't do a live feed the Island had no wi-fi so it was not possible but videos and pictures were soon online for us all to see .The location and ceremony was perfect they were both extremely happy may they both live happy ever after , forever and a day .Looking forward to their return to their new home they got before jetting off for their wedding.

MISS TO MRS

 SATURDAY - Went to Dobcross garden centre Helen bought a few more plants and grasses she also bought a solar water fountain for £24.99 , hopefully we get to see it work the amount of sun we are getting is a joke its June feeling like January. Driving through Uppermill we saw a new fish restaurant we are planning on checking  it out in the next couple of weeks posh fish and chips .

SUNDAY - Went to Pie Hall at Denby Dale to see a couple of spiritualist they was ok we got there at six and it lasted a couple of hours the last half hour was open circle where anyone with a message can speak out ,Helen gave out a message to one of the spiritualists she was spot on the woman was impressed .On the way home we stopped at a pizza take away shop and got pizza and chips half and half of course i got doner meat and chilli's it was very good better than the last take away pizza we got from Holmfirth .

MONDAY - Received a Face time video  call from my daughter in Mauritius she was by the pool sipping cocktails in another four hours she will be married .Yesterday she was swimming with dolphins today m a few hours time on a beautiful tropical island with white sands , blue seas and palm trees Miss will become a Mrs .

MAURITIUS

 MONDAY -The fine weather we had over the weekend has disappeared back to cloudy skies with a threat of rain .Mind you would I really want to go to work if it was red hot do I really want to go to work anyway .

Found out two tradesmen I use to work with back in the day have  both died very depressing makes me want to change my life do things go places before its too late ,maybe its too late already scary thought .

After going to my daughters house yesterday made me realise my son is never going to get married never have a decent job with  a decent income or  house own a car or travel anywhere  because of his addiction ,its hard to understand how my daughter got it so right and my son so wrong guess its down to the individual .

TUESDAY - My daughter Tuesday flew in to Dubai from there made it safely to Mauritius  got to the hotel in the early evening so text me to say she was there .Hopefully she has a very enjoyable stay .

HOUSE'S PLANTS AND A GUITAR

 FRIDAY - The weather is not improving I have a weeks leave on the 24th of June maybe the sun will appear for a few days and we can have a barbie in the garden so far we have had zero out door cooking .

Still not heard anything from my son its heading for six months without and contact cant understand his logic , no one has heard anything from him .His sister gats married next week and he has shown no interest in getting in touch with her .

She is also moving house hopefully it all goes through today its a five bedroom three bathroom house built at the start of 2000 quarter of a century ago .

SATURDAY - My daughter and he husband to be Josh got the keys to their new house let chaos ensue very stressful but also happy times moving into a new property .

Helen has nine readings to day two in the afternoon and seven in Almondbury later tonight be after midnight when she finishes .

SUNDAY - Went to Dirt Cheap Lants at North Anston Sheffield it is basically run from a house with loads of tropical plants for sale to the general public  ranging from a few pounds to hundreds of pounds Helen bought a couple of Cordylines .

After putting the plants in the garden we waited in Helen had sold her guitar I bought her years ago for £180 the man arrived at two paid the cash and left with a very decent Yamaha electric acoustic guitar .

We went to my daughters new house its five bedrooms three bathrooms over three floors the kitchen dinner is L-shaped with loads of storage we had a McDonalds with them helped Josh put two TVs on the wall hopefully they stay put hollow walls don't think they will move .The house is better than the photos its ideal there is major dislikes the area is near to the main street for shopping and the countryside for walking their dog Bee is just down the street an ideal combo.

Naughty us on the way home we went to McDonalds got five chicken stipes fries and a coke Helen got a fillet of fish meal with coke we got home just before nine o clock another weekend gone too fast .
