Chatty

I bumped into the vicar yesterday. We talked about retiring. He hangs up his cassock next year and is looking forward to it. I always thought that vicars just carried on until their spinster  house keepers found them dead in the vestry clutching a mysterious note ........perhaps I've watched too many episodes of Midsommer Murders? 

Mrs Trellis tottered through the village and informed me that another village character Tinkering Pete had lost his  shihTzu to a nasty bout of pancreatitis this morning. 

I'll drop in a card later

I forgot to share that If you enjoy bloody, atmospheric whodunnits go and see The Limehouse Golem which is on general release at the moment . It was the movie I saw on Friday and didn't have time to review , suffice to say it's a romp that neatly gets into the psychi of the Victorian poor, with their jet black humour and appetite for gore and it was interesting to see the two police leads ( Bill Nighy and Danial Mayes as Inspector and PC Plod) portrayed as gay men!
I enjoyed it.

I'm presently planning my week. Dinner out and badminton with the Prof, a talk to some retired nhs staff, more work quotes for kitchen work, the garden to clear of dead wood of and a trip to London to see best mate and a trip to see Wings with Juliet Stevenson in the West End !
Oh and I've just bought a smart phone! I'm now down with the yooofff
And that's all before the weekend!

Some of the nursing staff Ive left behind at the bast on Friday!
