Project 365 week 21

This week has been fun computer wise, mine keeps coming up with a blue screen and an error message. So I have cleaned the fans, bought a usb fan to sit under it, backed it up and reformatted it. So far it seems ok, here is hoping it stays that way. 


Sunday

The inside of my bathroom light that hubby took down, I think he needs to improve his cleaning skills. In my defense it was unreachable and unclean-able where it was but he seems to be blaming me for the mess.

Monday

For some strange reason hubby has decided to put a switch outside the bathroom and do away with the pull switch as you walk in. Here are the holes while he tries to find a way through to the outside, You would not know the holes were there as they have been filled back in and the job is finished. Had the gruesome twosome this evening while Bob was at gymnastics but did not have my camera with me.

Tuesday

We took an evening stroll round the fishery, it was freezing. Saw two families of geese and the families. Was a bit of argy bargy going on between one of the geese and a swan.

Wednesday

The local Brownies and Guides had a fund raising coffee evening. Fifi was helping on the plant stall. I went long with hubby, daughter and her other gran to show our support.

Thursday

Bob and I had gone up here the other week for him to decide where he was going to put his four caches as part of his hobby badge for Cubs. So tonight we went up to place them, they are on the geocaching system just awaiting approval and publication so other people can go and find them.

Friday

Was busy making chicken for tea, think the girls were looking to end up in the pot as well. All four of them wandered in for a nose.

Saturday

Today is three weeks until the wedding. I have to do the Mother of the Bride speech. So have started scribbling some notes down as to ideas I may use. Not really sure how long it should be but hopefully can keep it to under two minutes.

  8. My husband would never attempt any DIY things, Seeing that photo makes me kind of glad about that. I think you might want to have a quiet word in the ears of your chickens. They might consider staying well clear

  12. I always start to panic at the minor computer issue. Love the photo of your chicken girls visiting the kitchen. Our lampshades need cleaning too, but my excuse is also they are too high and unreachable for me

  14. Good luck with the speech. 2 minutes sounds like a good limit, although I would struggle to make it less than 20! So funny that the hens were being nosy as you were cooking chicken. Hope they were not traumatised...
