This week,10.4.2017.

This week at the lake its been a bit hectic, with the school holidays but not too bad if you get there early, suppose the little darlings don't get up too early in the holidays, and why should they!.

Wednesday it was off early to the Vets for Pepe's  Flea & worming tablet, then a dash up to Oldham for the lad's wash and trim, I know its a long way to go for that but he gets a good going over and he's not stressed going there which is the main thing isn't it!


Who's a pretty boy then??.

It's a good morning out for me as well, as I get to go to a local cafe that's near to without worrying if he's safe in the car, and the cafe is one half takeaway, sandwiches,pies and beautiful cakes made on the premises and the other half is a nice clean cafe with good prices.

Brought home a nice apple pie for after tea with some custard on.

I also like to have a scout round the charity shop for any books or other items
On the day I got a couple of books I'd not read and this nice plaque for 50p, You've got to buy that at that price haven't you?, bargain of the week!


Will look nice on my kitchen wall!.

Remember I mentioned that Velda had an Eddie Stobart truck named after her, well I can track her on my Iphone and today she was at Trafford Park near to where I live and here she is on the way home down the M6.

Good in't!.

This reminds me of my favourite film, can you guess what?,
Its The Body Guard!, but he's falling asleep on the job by the look of it!.



Not Velda, but a nice message from Eddie Stobart's.

Has spring arrived!, March 2017.

 The lake at Etherow was quite full today with the yachtsmen from the Model Boat Club, there were a few fishermen  out too!, why they park in the front row I don't know and then disappear for the rest of the day. The folk that only come to sit in their cars, have a buttie and perhaps are not able to walk far don't get the chance to park and watch the view at the front, some people are so inconsiderate aren't they!.
The Great Wall just outside the park it seems is not being taken down, but only being pointed!. Doesn't look very good at the moment, still its early days and perhaps the chaps will get better as they progress.

  On the way home stopped off at Aldi and got a big bag of stuff for next to nowt!, no wonder the bigger supermarkets aren't doing very well!.
Then it was a call at McDonalds for lunch and felt a bit guilty afterwards, so it as out with Pepe and off for another walk round Debdale Park to walk some of our dinner off.
Hence the Question "Has Spring arrived".
Crocus on the banking looking towards Hyde Road

More Crocus in the park!.

Beautiful sunny day, but still need the big coat on, or is that my age showing though I wonder!.

Been going to the cinema quite a bit lately, seen some good films too ie
The Great Wall,
Patriots Day,
 Hidden Figures
To name a few,
 Like it at Cineworld as the time early in the day suits us, the sound is great and afterwards my mate Dave and I go to McDonalds for lunch, then I do a bit of shopping on the way home, good day.
Must get an Unlimited ticket though, which makes it a lot cheaper if you are going regularly, gives you money off as well at the restaurants locally.

Have you read any of Matthew Reilly's books?, an Australian writer of Action adventure books, bags of action from page one!.
I'm an avid reader and he is one of my favourite authors, another is Lee Child with his Jack Reacher character, though not too keen on his choice of film star to portrait him though, Tom Cruise??,  still if you buy the film rights you can have who you want can't you, even yourself!, he did a good job though, still not the size of Reacher in the books!.
