Week 19th- 23rd.Nov 2022.

 Been to the Windmill Carvery today with a friend as it was raining again and Pepe doesn't want to go out in the rain, me too if I'm honest.

Had a nice meal and Jean had a online voucher so it turned out to be two Carvery's and drinks for £9 something!.

On the way home called at the new charity shop ( Willow Wood) round to corner from me, gave them four jigsaws and bought another four and two books by James Patterson all for £9, so it's one of the cheapest hobbies I know of.

Started this one this week, some odd shaped pieces in this one.

This week the Neon tube fitting in the box room (Jigsaw table) failed and you can't buy any tubes fittings or light bulbs from October I think it was, so it was down with the old fitting and off to B&Q where for a fancy fitting they wanted £40+ and it stated no bulbs included. So it was off to the electrical section and bought a complete fitting for £5.80!.

Sorted the ceiling out and fitted this.

 B&Q wanted £5 each for an LED bulb!, so it was over to Home Bargains where I got these at two for £5.99, its as good as a100watt bulb but only uses 13.5watts, it's so bright you can't look direct into it!.

They have all the usual types at Home Bargains so if you need to replace any bulbs their LEDs are cheap.

Another idea I've had for a while was a map so I knew where country's were, I've always been quite good at geography since my dad was in the Navy during the war (11) and was always fascinated by his travels round the world. But these new countries (Stans)  had me stumped.

So these laminated maps ordered from Amazon.

So here are all the STAN'S shown.

I didn't realize either that Qatar was only roughly the same size as Yorkshire!.

Another buy from Amazon are these nice cosy slippers, shouldn't think they'd be much good in the jungle but nice and warm sat watching the telly

My friend Jean had some of my photographs made into a calendar and they are quite good, even if I am slightly biased.

Won't bore you with a page by page review though, you don't deserve that!.

No birdie pix's!, well here are a couple for you, a Little Grebe with its dinner 

 And a Gadwall on Reddish Vale, think this is a male.

Hopefully it will stop raining soon and we can get out with the camera again!.

Why do they think horse shoes are lucky,

 Sheerga had four of them??.

I'm so unlucky, when my ship finally came in, I was waiting at the airport.

What can a goose do, a duck can't and lawyers should? Stick his bill up his rear.
