Second week of July, 2024.

 Was another good week last week,

Tuesday we went to Morrison's at Bredbury, as its the best one to suit the three of us, we all had the hot sandwiches and very nice too.

I then went to get three coffees as it was my turn, but then realised they do refills free! so I got three free coffees and then we realised Jean hadn't got her points on her Morrison's card before the girl on the till had closed the order. She later phoned a number she has and got her points back!.

Wednesday, I went to Reddish Vale Park, not much doing on the day, but did manage a few pictures for you.

Give me some of your apple mate.

Thank you Duckie.

Very nice.

 Then it was off to my Morrisons at Reddish where for a change I had Gammon, egg, chips and peas I usually have a refill to top
up my drink whilst waiting for my meal and on the way back to the table saw this.

My meal was very nice for a change  from fish and chips.

Thursday Jean and I were off to The Bridge View café, where the welcome was very nice as usual, in fact we both got a nice takeaway box, that was a nice surprise.

I'd been to the charity shop in the week and got this box set, 18 DVDs that's 6 series in all and it only cost me £2, I'd watched the first two stories, but it wasn't for me so gave it to the girls at the café.

Boats on the canal there from all over the place.

Bought another two bird feeders in the week, has they are the best I've come across to keep clean.

Will be chopping off those lower rings to slow the pigeons down a bit, see previous posts.

I've decided to replace the dogs on my fire place and got these nice birds from Amazon, the kingfisher I already had from my good friend Bob and his late wife, they gave it to me after I got my very first kingfisher picture at Reddish Vale, they said it was the "Order of the kingfisher"

More careful dusting hey!.

I've had some cacti in my porch for years and years and just noticed this week that the donkeys tails had started to flower!.

On looking on YouTube it seems that they flower all the way down the strands, so I must have been doing something wrong all these years, perhaps been a bit mean with the water!.

Today Monday 15th, I had a gentle stroll round Reddish Vale and managed a few pix's.

Sunny and warm so the terrapins were all out.

Baby Mallards.

Heron on the hunt.

Big terror pin.

 The female mandarins having a rest after the busy season looking after the youngsters.

Morrison's today I ordered the gammon, egg and chips again, but as I sat down the young lady came up and said there's no gammon, will you have your usual mini fish and chips?, so I said yes but look what came, she said we've given you the full one for the difference in the price!!, oh no thought I it's too much and over facing, so just eat the fish and peas, but the chips were very nice though!!.

The fish was bigger than that but forgot to take the picture first.

So another good week for me, not so for Joe Biden with his gaffs and Donald getting shot at, he's lucky it wasn't an ex military guy or he wouldn't have been so lucky, there will be a lot of questions how the shooter got so close and had got some shots off before the secret service managed to kill him.

What's the difference between a cat and a complex sentence?,

A cat has claws at the end of its paws and the complex sentence has a pause at the end of its clause.
