First post of April!!, 17.4.23.

 I've had lots of complaints, well a couple that I've not posted much this month was here we go again!.

This past Saturday, my two other friends went to Fleetwood again, and again I resisted the offer to accompany them. I went to Pear Mill Café as usual but a bit earlier, and was told that they were two staff short so after my meal I got hold of a tray and between playing my Word game kept the tables cleared up and wiped down much to the delight of the two lady owners. I kept at it for a couple of hours until the dinnertime rush was over, I was offered another free drink but I'd had enough by then and headed home.

It's one job I've never done in my varied careers, but I quite enjoyed it, has if you know me I'm quite a chatter box and enjoyed chatting to the customers, especially the ladies!, you can get away with it at my age hey!.

On the way out I did stop and buy this, the one on the right which was only £7, But I thought it matched the other one nicely, which we had bought in a glass blowing place in Southern Scotland many years ago, think it looks nice in my bathroom on top of the cupboard.

This morning to my surprise and delight the two owner ladies gave me these!.

So the few LBS I'd lost on the day will be going back on, tried to give some to Peter and Jean but they said "you've earned them so eat them".

Talking about Ladies here is a photo I discovered on Facebook from years ago when my silver lady and I worked at Belle Vue Ambulance Station.

That's my Silver Lady on the right in the jumper, where do these pictures spring from?.

We were talking today about Facebook and the fact that some people we know have been long gone and dead but they are still there and can't seem to be removed.

I have been out a bit between the showers, here are a few pictures from Reddish Vale last week.

The Terror-Pins were out sunbathing

I'd thought this was a greylag goose, but others on the Reddish Vale website said it was a pink footed goose, so I think it may be that!. 

A couple of Herons in attendance.

A male and female Mandarin duck.

The coots were busy nest building, this male thinking "I'll get some brownie points for this bit!.

Also visited Debdale ressers for a while too.

A couple of Cormorants were fishing there.

A great Crested Grebe looking for love.

My Microwave finally looked like it was on its last legs so it was off to Argos in Sainsbury's and got a bog standard one, no clock and fancy push buttons.

As you can see there's a clock on the wall there.

The new one, a bit smaller but fits in better, and so easy to use I couldn't believe!.

Tonight's dinner using the new microwave, and my new discovery at Sainsbury's, shredded beetroot which is Polish!

Very nice too!.
So there you have it another post done, hopefully won't be as long to wait for the next one.

He was so unlucky that when his ship came in he was waiting at the airport!.

Before we were married she said "You told me you were well off"

Yes said he "unfortunately I didn't realise just how well off!
