Question What is making you happy today?

Have you noticed prices dropping or staying around the same as pre covid?

Prices are pretty much holding, most of the ones dropping are ones which started off over-priced anyway.....some people will just not listen! Might be some minor adjustment but nothing drastic.

The visit to the vet. Maurice the rescue cat went in this morning to have his toothies cleaned and some extractions. Last week the vet had threatened 4 to 8 teeth may need to be extracted. Today it went down to two small ones. This reduced the cost from the £500 estimated to £350. I'll settle for that.

He went back this morning for a post op check on his teeth and they are fine, he's now developed an eye ulcer and is doing a Nelson impersonation. Two lots of drops three times a day and another £38 into the vet's coffers.

Last visit to the vets this morning (hopefully). Maurice is ****ed off with going and so are we. Mind you, we've still got to put drops in his eye until Friday. The tactics have to change each day as he knows what is coming and tries different hiding places. So far, he has been unsuccessful!

That's interesting.Thought the propery market was supposed to be in the doldrums? (Certainly in Barna there was apparently a 25% decrease in propery sales back in May.

What is/where is barna?

What is/where is barna?

Barna= the locals' name for Barcelona (though these days you'll sometimes see it abbreviated to BCN,which is not always readily used or understood by many Catalans).

Been there, done it, no more visits and we got this one as part of the post op check up, so result!

Whilst out running earlier this morning, found an unused book of 12 x 2nd class stamps.
As they say 'every little helps'!.

Driveway finished today, they’ve done an excellent job and it looks really good! Now just got to wait to be able to park on it.

A very lovely home made afternoon tea in the garden yesterday afternoon with three very lovely ladies, whom I count as very dear, close friends.

Had friends over for dinner on Saturday, and one of them is Russian so made pierog, salad olivier and beef stroganoff. Great evening. And my club opened again on Monday, so we've been going the gym/pool every morning!

I have often wondered about the logic of cooking dishes from a guests home country.

If you were invited for a meal in Russia would you want Findus crispy pancakes, oven chips and beans?

I would insist.

She absolutely loved it. Their Russian friends don't cook much Russian fare so they were delighted that we made the effort. The pierog pastry was different to one we normally make but it was incredible.

Good work - I like Eastern European food.

Monday just gone me and my fiancée had our first scan for our first born. I haven’t stopped smiling since. Those scans, wow they are incredible. I’ve known for the last 10 weeks or so that we are expecting but to actually see the little ones feet move around, the beating of his heart.. it’s suddenly got very real.

Not even our troubles this season can ripe the smile of my face.

Looking forward to a nice Friday and Saturday off work with the weather looking great also, plus the FA cup final to come on Saturday.

Thanks mate.

Whilst I do not condone violence and the whole event is rather sordid the choice of lighthearted music for this video article about a high profile local pub brawl amused me.

You have to wonder who posts this sort of stuff.
