Third week in February, 19.2.2024.

 This past week my friends and I decided to have a change on Thursday and went to The Daisy Nook Garden Centre Café to see what had changed since our last visit Pre-Pandemic. Then we all had dogs so had to sit  in the outer area of the café but this recent visit we could sit in the café proper. the first thing we noticed was the new decor which is quite nice, place is also so clean you could eat your meal off the floor if you so desired!.

I got a invite  from the ladies in the community room for my friend and neighbour Chris who is a singer and hoping  to increase his client list.

This is him at The Bridge View Café in Portland basin on an earlier visit with a fan, seems a lot of people as soon as they see a mic want to jump up and sing!.

Friend Jean and I went there this past Saturday and my Granddaughter, husband and baby met us there, also my Daughter-in -law too, so we had a good natter catching up since we hadn't met up for a while.

Couple of pictures from an earlier visit to show you the ambiance of the place.

Back home the weather hasn't got much better though it has got slightly warmer, as you can see from the video it's still raining most days on and off.

My beautiful Goldfinches are doing well on their Sunflower hearts.

All these bird pictures taken from my garden hide (Garage)!. 

The berries on these bushes have nearly gone has the blackbirds gorge themselves on them. 

 

Down to the last few at ground level where the birds won't go, so I pluck them off and put them in a dish feeder.

 

This Sunday had a Sunday Roast at Morrison's in Reddish and very nice too, they do a Half chicken one or a Beef one both at £7.50.

Couldn't eat it all!.

I've renewed all my hats this past week, just changed over the hat bands, the old ones were past their sell by dates,  they are Tilley hats and quite dear but the old ones lasted me Pre-Velda and that's 12 years now, so not that dear hey!.

 Kept one old one for working on jobs at home.

Such as this top for my new gate post rather than an open tube, I'm waiting for the rain to stop to hang the gate.

I went to see my Doctor

"Doctor every morning when I get up and look in the mirror I feel like throwing up" "What's wrong with me" He said "I don't know but there's nothing wrong with your eyesight!" 

I so ugly when I was born the Doctor slapped my mother.

I'm saving for a rainy day!,

So far I've got a Sou'wester, two Macintoshes and a canoe!.
