Your Day (apart from gardening) - what took place?

Aha, it does look like a gardener's bicycle too

Looks like a nice place. If I ever get out your way I'll stand you one there - oh and of course your significant other as well...

 

relaxing.

 

This morning after breakfast we drove up to the old airfield for a nice stroll but when we got there it was packed with cars It seems that because of some rarities(birds) there were a few twitchers about trying to add more birds to their year list.( Jan1st-Dec 31st).

Anyway we got talking to a chap with a large camera and lens and walked on with him to where these birds were. (We had already seen one of them last evening) In the end we saw a nice male Ring Ouzel (Like a male blackbird but with a white collar round its neck) six Wheaters and a nice pair (male and female) Redstarts plus lots of swallows,yellowhammers and very large bees

This afternoon we have popped down to Mr T's shop and spent some dosh there before coming home and I am now sitting here tapping away doing this post

 

I was painting outside I used two dire rent methods.
First hammerite undercoat and one layer of top coat and job done.
Second outdoor metal undercoat and metal exterior top coat, but this will have to be 2 top coats as the Finnish is abysmal and streaky.
So it will cost more to do a cheaper job, lesson learnt.

 

Haven't been back long from having a fasting blood test done at our surgery this morning.Good job I don't mind the sight of blood first thing in the morning.

Have had to wash my coat though as it had all run down my arm.I feel like a right little bleeder(scuse swearing)

 

Blimey @Kandy who took the blood, Dracula? Never seen so much excess blood from a blood test before.

Which came first, washing your coat or .... f.o.o.d.!!!

 

Oh my goodness @Kandy , I've never seen anything like that after a blood test before. I hope it's stopped bleeding now

 

Thanks for your concern @Beckie76 and @''M''about my little blood test and am able to report I am still around I was a bit shocked as well when I took my fleece off and had felt my arm was a bit wet when I got back into my car but thought I was just imagining it to be honest.It wasn't until back home and took my fleece off that I saw what had happened.The photo I took with my camera looks worse as the smearing goes all down my arm Perhaps a bit of tiger balm will sort it Mr Kandy nearly fainted when I showed it to him

The best of it was that the Plebotamist who took the samples had got back problems and I was more concerned about how she was feeling and giving her advice to keep walking,and walking some more,instead of sitting around all day,so I never noticed the problem with my arm

As an aside,Mr Kandy had the day off today as a day's holiday as he had an appointment at the hospital for a Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening ultrasound thingy that all men over the age of 65 are being offered.Anyway,off he trots at 1pm to get there for his 1.20pm appointment.He comes back three quarters of an hour later,not very happy at all.Evidently he sat waiting for twenty minutes and wasn't called so he went to the desk and complained.The lady behind the desk checked her lists on the screen and then he showed her the letter which had been sent.She then started laughing and said she could see what the problem was.It was the right day but the date was May 16th not April 18th... I nearly wet myself when he told me I was laughing that much

Ps,Food and a mug of tea first then washed the fleece

 

I'm so pleased you are ok @Kandy .

Oh dear poor Mr Kandy ,but I did giggle to myself, mainly because that's the sort of thing I would do

 

I caught up on our side of the pond's last two episodes online today while working.

Had client come by to take their finished projects and hand me money. Everyone smiling. Decided to wash my car and since number one son's car was here, washed if too.

went out back and moved the electric fence wires in anticipation of the new fence I've ordered. All good. Nice little snap noise says all working fine.

Hard cooked some eggs in the sunoven while dinking around. And now I'm enjoying some red wine spritzers.

@ARMANDII , I am very outspoken like Ena but hopefully with a little more polish. I have also been accused of being quite bright with the common sense of Tugboat Annie. Quite proud of that!

 

Went for a lovely walk this afternoon, about half a mile away there was alot of noise a person had got stuck in the field, it was someone who doesn't care about anyone else , so as we got nearer Miss Jiff said, are you going to give him a hand, as he couldn't drive two machines at the same time, i said yes, as i walked past i gave him a good clap

 

Oh @Jiffy That's just the funniest thing! I can think of a few people around here I'd like to do that too!

 

Thank you Beckie and Honeybunny
Honeybunny, i don't think my claping was that fast, but it was so good to see a man in trouble and someone who could have help didn't as the boot was no the other foot, i do feel very guilty
