What are you doing now and humorous banter.

Grey and murky here.

I won with the heating. I was toasty warm in bed last night and I've slept for 12 hours (without my sleeping pill I may add). My excuse - I needed the sleep.

Today we have the grandchildren here for lunch. Off to pick them up in a moment. So lots of fun trying to stop Ava-May from attacking the tv and sky box.

I must say I've decided not to dress for lunch so I'm in a tracksuit and tshirt.

On a plus note roast lamb for lunch

Enjoy your day
 
A book called The Crown by Nancy Bilyeau. It's set in Tudor times and features a novice looking for Athelstan's crown in a priory as it apparently has mystical powers. It's OK

I’m reading a book called The Tudor Kings and Queens The Dynasty That Forged a Nation

Tudors are my favourite period of history

Are you into history?
 
Did you see Alice Roberts onNorwich and the Tudors last night Woolfie and Cumbs? Worth a catch-up if you missed it.
 
Mystery dinner tonight.....took a piece of meat out of the freezer to defrost and can’t decide if it is lamb or duck....will be a cook it and see dinner....
 
Which ever it is it’ll be delicious Molly.
Son-in-law cooking a roast here too, haven’t asked what it is, too busy with grandsons’ salt dough. One made a mad moustache, the other millions of cut out shapes. Definitely destined for Tate Modern.
 
The conclusion is that it is lamb...

....and my missing parcel turned up this afternoon.........pity that delivery company office won’t get to read my email of complaint till tomorrow morning but managed to inform them by another that I have now received it....

....having a relaxing afternoon whilst the chef is preparing the dinner and relaxing evening together planned for later....
 
It’s been an interesting day today. Out over the North Yorkshire moors with one of my boys on our bikes. Rained a bit but never mind, some enjoyable back lanes and byways.
Ended up at our caravan and met up with other family members for a few hours and then a ride back home in some pretty strong wind.
Now sitting pouring over a map of the Scottish Borders figuring out three walking routes (about 15, 10 and 3 miles) for our annual family weekend coming up on Friday. 35 of us going this year so I hope that Mrs Miggins and our daughter have ordered all the provisions and sorted out the chores list.
Bacon and eggs for tea
 
Well done Clive, that fitted suite awaits.

Thanks @dunelm,a few months ago I bought an Italian ( expensive ) jacket that is ahem...42 inch chest...I have to drop 3 sizes to get it on: in the meantime my new wedding suit is a bit tight...hence the regime...️‍
