Didn't realise my face was scary enough to start a stampede...Looked over the bridge at the young cows calmly grazing in the field , they all took fright and galloped off full pelt into the distance :lol:

A best kept village idiot writes......



Cattle tend to be more bonkers in the evening

Never walk between a cow and calf

Skirt a herd rather than splitting it with your walk

The cattle on Doxey Marshes are tiny and timid at the minute

I can't be bothered to do any of the things I need to today. I should be doing housework, laundry and preparing dinner. Instead, I'm lying on my bed eating Nice biscuits (which are just that!) contemplating whether I should reach over to switch on the coffee machine for one last cuppa.

Yesterday was village planting day, a group of ladies met up to plant bedding plants around the village.
Didn't let the fact that it was raining deter us. Got soaked through but never mind.

I doubt very much the picture of five soaked, bedraggled, dirty scruffy women will make the next edition of "Village Voice"



Today I went over to Stoke (Brown Edge) to pick up my cousin (75) and take her out for lunch.
A nice detour round Trentham Village and the garden centre after our carvery, and then back home.

Just sitting with a glass of wine now.

Another random thing that I meant to tell you all about should you be interested.

While husband was in USA the other week, I decided to do what I had done in Spain. This was to systematically go through every cupboard, drawer, wardrobe, clean it out, get rid of everything that's never ever going to be worn or used again.

So....

I came to a rarely accessed drawer under the bed.

I found, in no particular order.
A black high cut sexy swimming costume.
A pink fluffy bunny tail.
A pair of pink fluffy bunny ears.
This was left over, I think, from when I dressed as a bunny girl for an event at Port Vale FC in the 80's.

In the same cupboard I found my Abaya and my Hijab for when my job took me to Saudi Arabia (Riyadh and Jeddah).

I realise obviously that it was me, myself that put those items there, together., but even I was surprised at the juxtaposition.

Anyway, I've kept everything, ..... well you never know. :embarrass:

I couldn't be bothered to do the things that i should have done today either, I was going to finish of sorting out all the stuff that i took out of the utility cupboards and put on the lounge floor to sort out. The things are all still on the floor now i will try again tmw.

I forgot to pick up a block of dark chocolate today so I'm reduced to eating custard creams. They're not really hitting the spot. I've noticed some fig biscuits at the bottom of the tin.... except I don't like fig biscuits. My dilemma is should I risk it and hope it eases the dark chocolate craving or do I stick with the custard creams even though they're not helping?

My Nan once let my, then, toddler brother eat a whole packet of fig rolls without telling my mum. She got a horrible surprise with his nappies the next couple of days. Thinking he was ill she phoned my nan for support at which point she confessed with the explanation of, he was enjoying them pmsl.

Managed half a biscuit, they really aren't very nice at all. Went to Aldi and bought a whopping big block of hazelnut and dark chocolate.

At which point hide said chocolate in various places in house garden and churchyard

Get even more drunk
