    Some days just go like that, @Michael Hewett. :help: One thing after another.

    Still ... on the bright side, it wasn't raining and you had lunch out! ;)

          Now I have my new bookcase installed (and filled with books on castles - over 400 of them), I've chosen three pictures to put up (all of castles, of course). Now the difficult part - getting the hooks in the wall so that the pictures are aligned correctly.

            That's nice, I like books. You can stick your ebooks or whatever they call them, and your apps, I prefer real books with pages you can turn over and see properly.

              So do I @Michael Hewett but English books are not on sale here so I have Kindle Unlimited which works like a library, letting choose books to download and read for a monthly fee. I started when I had both feet repaired back in 2013 and needed something better than daytime TV or learning to knit..........

              It's bright and sunny here tho cool. No gardening tho as I'm baking the last batch of cakes today for tomorrow's plant fair - chocolate carrot, chocolate beetroot, vegan chocolate, chocolate brownies and then a gluten free Venetian carrot cake and a cheese andham loaf for those lacking a sweet tooth.

                I drove out to a place just south of Whitstable today, to meet some one.

                Watch this space, more could be revealed in next week.;):)

                      I wondered where my wife went this morning!! She said she was meeting two ladies, but, .... !?

                      Nah, she wouldn't!!! She needs someone to do the ironing.

                          OK, I own up, but nothing is anywhere near settled yet, I have to visit 3 more times next week before they will say I can have him.
                          He's very shy and has come from Ireland, so looks like I will have to get some Guinness on order.;)
