Project 365 week 33

Sunday

An evening walk round the fishery with the lights of the village twinkling on the pond.



Monday

A nice letter telling me about a win. Not saying what I won as it will be used as a present for the grandchildren at some point.



Tuesday

A wet rainy day with an afternoon walk. The wild sunflowers have done better than our ones and were certainly attracting the bees.






Wednesday

A visit day to Stirling. We leave Fifi dog sitting for us. A walk round the fishery in the morning before hand with the dog and then back round in the evening. The guinea fowl were making an awful racket. Lilly dog would have had to have been put on her lead as she would have chased them, Dixie dog does not bother with them at all.



Thursday

An amazing fun day at Calderglen Park with DD1 and the grandchildren. You can read about it all here. 

In the evening I attended the AGM for the Clean up Tarbolton Woods group. I have added various pictures when we have been down there. They have made a massive difference to the woods in the last year and it is so much more pleasurable to be down there. They were looking to recruit new members to help out so me being me I decided to volunteer. Looking forward to helping out in whatever way I cam.



Friday

My poor little fit bit fell to pieces. Going to try a spot of superglue later on to see if I can sort it. Did contact fitbit and as it is out of guarantee they offered me 25% off another one. Still means I have to find 75% so guess I am going to have to hope the glue works.




Saturday

As my regular readers will know I have been joining in with organised cycle rides with the Active Travel Hub and I joined in with a bingo game they were running last month. I managed to complete all sixteen tasks which put me in a draw to win a bike. I was told only three of us were in the draw but sadly I did not win first prize of a new bike, but I did win a Proviz REFLECT360 back pack. I love my rucksacks and this is a great prize for me and will be well used. . I also qualified for a bike tool kit and a travel mug. No more bent spoon handles for me anymore as the tool kit has tyre levers in it.

The rucksack pic was taken in the dark this morning with the flash, so showing up as it would when out using it.

  2. The fishery does look so pretty and looks perfect for an evening walk.
    Well done on your win. I love putting things away for the kids for Christmas & their birthdays when I win something.
    Good luck with gluing the fit bit...How annoying.

  3. Hope you sort the fitbit. I'm always amazed at their customer service. When my One died, they gave me nearly half price off a HR charge 2, and I've had numerous free straps etc over the years. Much better than N's garmins junior where it took ages for them to respond to my emails and then I thought thtey were going to try and charge me for a new strap even though it was less than a year old!
    Well done on the wins

  6. The rucksack looks great! It's a shame you didn't win the bike. Hope the superglue works on your Fitbit. I dread my running watch breaking, but as my husband says, I did get it free (for review), so I haven't actually spent anything on it!

    1. the volunteering is my little bit towards making the local area a better place for my grandchildren time they grow up, and giving them a respect for the area so hopefully they dont become part of the vandal problem we have down there.
