Weirdly I own several watches which I never wear, I think they're in a carrier bag in the garage loft.

Just wrongly got the blame for hubbys mistake of not plugging the ethernet cable in tight enough this morning and losing his connection .
Know I deserve the blame when accidentally yanking it out whilst dusting and sending the modem hurtling off the cupboard a couple of times over the past year .
But when I'm in the kitchen preparing tonights tea , nowhere near the modem , and hear him back on the phone to the boss " It's not the works system down after all , it was the wife pulling the plug on me again ! " to save himself looking stoooopid , It just ain't on
REALLY REALLY Hoping the infection rates keep dropping enough for him to get installed back in the office in July as planned

God, pet thefts are one of the most depressing things. That one’s a cutie!
This is Charlie (11yo), who I’ve posted about before. Charlie likes to find a spot beside me where he feels safe, then lies down and goes to sleep.of course I’m stuck here until he’s had enough, now, so that’s my afternoon schedule cleared.

Luckily we hadn't told the daughter. I'm sure we will find another soon but probably the wrong time of year being Easter
. We have a male so looking for a female companion now he has been 'fixed'

I drove to Tamar Lake this morning for a walk. Heavily overcast with a thin drizzle. Walking around I heard my first skylark of the year, boy was he going for it, I couldn't see him though against the cloud. Drove back under a blanket of grey but at least the drizzle had gone.
Now, four hours later, the sky is blue from horizon to horizon, not a cloud in sight. Now he's got something to sing about.

The birds living in the neighbours tree always chirp away really loudly every morning from 5am - 6.30am then must go back to sleep after their chatter. Realised this morning that they must have put their clocks forward as well, as they started at exactly 5am again
Just seen a real potential covid spreader outside the Wildwood church bungalow . Loads and loads of youngsters piling into a tiny play shed outside, then closing the door behind them . Sort of makes social distancing in classrooms rather a waste of time

Added yet another number to my blocked list. Just had the scary man on the phone threatening prison for tax fraud 
Will be glad once I've had the GP call for my 2nd jab , so that I can stop answering all this bombardment of nuisance calls just incase it happens to be them.

Must be the unluckiest person ever doing ordering online ! 
After all the saga of missing parcels going astray , and some still not located, thought I wouldn't trust my Boots order to be delivered even though it would have been free delivery. So opted for click & collect to guarantee to be able to pick up in store today.
Grabbed my car keys as a Boots text came in, opened the message up....... "We're very sorry , due to a large amount of orders we are running behind. We're working around the clock to get it to you " At least they let me know

I arranged to meet two friends for the first time in over 12 months for a walk on the Chase this evening.
Whilst we were being very quiet watching a herd of deer grazing some idiot sent a drone up and chased them all the way down Oldacre valley.
Why are some people such inconsiderate idiots?

Ah drone man. He's on there regularly and his right to fly his drone to film nature and scare it away trump's everyone else's right to a quiet walk in the country. He lives not far from me and is pretty much despised in the neighborhood. A couple of years ago he decided to hover above my gardenfor a while, presumably to have a good nose as to what's going on. After a brief chat, he hasn't done it again.

Please rescue one rather than encouraging more overbreeding
