Congratulations to #3 and his leman. As for#7 and #8 that was you one day but as the boys said everything changes. Enjoy the new box.I think I'm being abused.
#7 & #8 have been around for an afternoon sitting on.
It's fun but so tiring.
They have so much energy and I would love to keep up, but alas.
Think I could be termed the summer entertainment.
Must tell, the big news.
#3 got his preferred uni place local, so he can still be at home.
He got straight B's, which is great, but his girlfriend got Straight A's. #3 was really happy, honest.
Some great reports from #4, #5, #6 & #7!
New stuff for the little box coming Monday. Technology proceeds with vigour.
It has of course, a remote control, but it has voice command to turn over the channels.......
I remember our first television back in '68, where twiddling with the tuning button was the latest tech for the two channels and reception, if the aerial was aligned. After it had warmed the tubes for about an half hour.
Then I can actually pick which sport is shown on the box.
Gotta go, that nice bit of haddock won't cook itself.
My best wishes to you lot as always.
That is beautiful @JohnEGreenThe other day while looking through the family tree on Ancestry I came across a 2nd great grand uncle his name was James Lang and in the 1881 census his occupation was given as Innkeeper and the location was the Rockford Inn in Brendon Devon out of curiosity I googled it to find it is still in business and it is possible to stay there so I have decided that next year I am going to book a couple of days there. It is a beautiful place and I like the idea of staying in an inn that 140 odd years ago was run by a family member.
I can't remember being #8's age.Congratulations to #3 and his leman. As for#7 and #8 that was you one day but as the boys said everything changes. Enjoy the new box.

Right, I am late to post today.
I was out early to pick up some stuff, and some stuff I had sourced, but by time I got back home, I crashed out asleep until 3.
Still tired, but got those pillows out and beat them against the garage wall, then the sun came out, so they have had a few hours in the sun...now I need to get them in before the sun sets...
Very tired today, but my readings are okay. I'll be glad when we get cooler weather...

Last night I was late finishing locking up because I found the sd cards and batteries needed replacing...
I finally came in and it was pitch black, and shut the door, but I was about to go back out and give Midnight a cuddle, when I realised Pa Badger was on my heels. I didn't have my hearing processor on, so I didn't hear him behind me.
He was all alert and interested, but I shut the door, and he and I watched each other for a bit, and then he started foraging around by the door, lifted the doormats, sniffed all round, and was outside that door for about 10 minutes. It was lovely to see him only inches away from me....
I am in danger of doing the same tonight if I don't get a move on...
Creative...not so good. I tried these new Kuratake brush pens on Bristol Board paper. I didn't like the way they blended. I sprayed water on the picture, the paint moved on this smooth surface, unlike the cartridge paper of yesterday. But I touched the pastel blue brush pen accidentally into the water and it leached a whole pile of paint out of the brush pen, which now had white bristles instead of blue ones. And because the barrel was solid plastic, I couldn't squeeze any more paint out. I was so disappointed, I thought I had ruined the brush. The blue looked very pretty, but when dried, you could see no evidence of the blue brush pen, nor the lilac brush pen, and very little evidence of the pale green. So that was a waste. Obviously these brush pen paints of Kuratake are not heavily pigmented as in the days of yore...
Finally some blue came back into the brush bit.
I tried doing some drawing with the brush pens, but it is too late in the day and I am dog tired...and ham fisted, and stiff fingers after beating those pillows...
It is getting dark quickly out there...I live quite high up, so I lose daylight quicker than those who live by the river...
Go to go.
Hope your day was good.

Thank you for that.I found some lovely olive oil (for my daily tablespoon and a half) in Aldi made with olives grown in Puglia in Southern Italy.
When I checked it out.I was really pleased to read this:
Aldi’s Specially Selected P.D.O.Terra Di Bari Castel Del Monte Extra Virgin Olive Oil (£5.19, 500ml) just earned a Which? Great Value endorsement in the consumer champion’s latest test, being commended for its overall ‘outstanding value’.
With an overall score of 71%, Aldi’s olive oil beat far costlier options from competition including Sainsbury’s (£8.40) and Asda (£7), with Aldi’s oil even blowing Waitrose’s £15.50 offering out of the water, despite it costing nearly two thirds less!
I was also pleased to see that it was in a glass bottle instead of plastic.Thank you for that.
Thank you for the lovely comment @Krystyna23040A shame about the brush pens but actually it is a really lovely creative @gennepher .
A lovely idea to stay at the inn. Hope you enjoy it when you get there.The other day while looking through the family tree on Ancestry I came across a 2nd great grand uncle his name was James Lang and in the 1881 census his occupation was given as Innkeeper and the location was the Rockford Inn in Brendon Devon out of curiosity I googled it to find it is still in business and it is possible to stay there so I have decided that next year I am going to book a couple of days there.

Wow! That's remarkable value @Krystyna23040I found some lovely olive oil (for my daily tablespoon and a half) in Aldi made with olives grown in Puglia in Southern Italy.

Yes, indeed @Krystyna23040. Another plus!I was also pleased to see that it was in a glass bottle instead of plastic.
Exhausting day and a fine creative despite uncooperative brush pens. Thank youFbg 6.7

Yep, that’s the olive oil I buy - about a third of my current bottle left in the cupboard and a new one waiting behind. Looks like this.I found some lovely olive oil (for my daily tablespoon and a half) in Aldi made with olives grown in Puglia in Southern Italy.
