Out of the blue

JJ left my "58 years married" anniversary card by the kettle this morning and went off to golf.  See extra.  It did make me laugh.   Camera club tonight but I will make steak and chips for an early dinner.

I had a lovely quiet walk around the wood, which is drying out well but tricky walking through all the dried mud.

When I got back I saw that our bin had been emptied but none of the others.  Our new neighbour had filled up everyones bins with all the rubbish from Saturday's party and was a bit frantic thinking she'd scuppered the bin collection.

I suggested that maybe the bin lorry had had to go back because it was full so we walked around the corner of the close to see whether the others had been emptied, which they hadn't, so problem solved.

I was just peering into one of the bins when C came out of her house all dolled up in a black dress with white bib, dark tights and shoes.  I was just going to ask if she was going to a special funeral when she announced that she was the new High Sheriff.  Naturally I curtised, still in my walking garb and carrying my gardening gloves.  

We know how to do posh in this neck of the woods.
