It’s Friday and it’s trying to be sunny. The Welsh are quiet today after their walk and Roger is sat in my bedroom window watching the grave digger and village Elder Islwyn dig a grave for a lady on Erw Wen I've never met.
I had a tutorial with my senior tutor , she says I’m doing fine, even my academic work ( which I find a challenge) she says is fine . “I like how you write “ she said , which meant a great deal
Anyhow, the village coffee morning needs helpers tomorrow but as usual I’m working.
I’m not complaining, weekend work means more money and bills seemed to have shot up this month.
At least Flintshire County Council is not bankrupt but their monthly bill rise is a real shocker.
I’ve had to pay for Dorothy’s cremation too. The ground had been overly saturated to bury her.
I didn’t have the energy to do it myself.
I have some wriggle room but I will need to book a few extra shifts in April and May as my nephew Leo is coming up for a visit ( his first alone) and I’ve got London trips to see Nu (theatre and the Hampton Court Flower Show) and with Janet to see A Chorus Line at Saddler’s Wells and Buckingham Palace.
Sheffield too is calling me back home as it has a want to do , so I’ll message Mike for a date to meet up
I see that old showboat drag queen Myra DuBois is playing the Ledmill
I’d love to get to visit the place one last time…….
Roger is barking his what the hell is going on bark
The mini gravedigger has obviously overfaced him and I’m finishing my coffee before I wash my face and brush my hair in order to meet my family for lunch at the Dinorban
I will leave you with the lovely lisping Spanish Choir
Enjoy
You've got some fun things coming up to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteWork tomorrow, that levells it
DeleteIt's good when we can understand what our dogs are saying by the tone of their bark. Elsie got a new bark, in our new house, barking up at the night sky (lifting both front paws off the ground at the same time). I've been told by the neighbours that she's probably barking at bats, although I haven't seen any yet. Have a lovely lunch. xx
ReplyDeleteLol Roger doesn’t bark at bats he just sits and looks up into the sky
DeleteHave a great Friday, and pick up a few extra shifts.
ReplyDeleteI’m off to bed shortly, strangely knackered
DeleteEnjoy your lunch dear...looks like a charming place.
ReplyDeleteIt’s lovely and the food is amazing
DeleteIts nice that your course is going so well, and that your tutor likes the way you write, we all knew that already. Lots of plans in the works too. Lucky you. Just another day of nothing and nobody here. My dog is going in to the Vets for dental surgery and her pre op blood tests showed that she might have something with a kidney so i have to take her back today to get a urine test to see if she has an infection. Always something. Gigi
ReplyDeleteAs soon as the tests start k something new is always found
DeleteWell done on the positive feedback. There's many here who like the way you write, too! You have some fun things planned, shame work gets in the way, but bills need paying. xx
ReplyDeleteIt’s nice to get some positive feedback
DeleteHaving great feedback on your coursework is very motivating. That said, you are doing everything right. Managing work and school is no small task. Enjoy your family meal.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice to see everyone
DeleteGreat feedback from your tutor.
ReplyDeleteAnd fun things to look forward
to. Btw I have a couple of good “things to do In nyc “ websites for you. Not touristy if you are still headed to NYC this spring

That’s on hold at the moment lizzy…..
DeleteMoney is tight…….😞
The City will be here when you're ready!
DeleteHow lovely and heartwarming to have your senior tutor compliment your writing!! We've said the same over the years, but our compliments don't carry any achedemic weight!
ReplyDeleteLove the plans you have, both near and far and with both family and friends. That should keep you perking along.
Ta for the choir, too, as they ar4e a joy.
I have a potato cake breakfast casserole in the oven and the timer s about to ring.
Hugs!
Now what’s a breakfast casserole ?

DeleteMy name doesn't need to be on the link to the recipe!
DeleteHugs!
I hope you had a good lunch at "The Dinorben Arms" in the bosom of your family. There's always something in "The Gray Diary" which is possibly a sequel to "Fifty Shades of Gray"...
ReplyDelete“Are you smirking at me, Mr. Gray?” I ask sweetly.
I was mr pudding
DeleteGood to have positive feedback on your studies.
ReplyDeleteFamily lunches our are best..no cooking, no clearing up, just eat and talk!
I had sausage and mash bloody lovely x
DeleteJohn that Spanish choir is absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteGreat fun pat !
DeleteA bit of decent feedback gives you a lift and makes it all worth while... everyone needs a bit of validation and encouragement to keep moving in the right direction. The Pub looks charming enjoy your meal with the family as gz above says no cooking or clearing up to get in the way of a good old chinwag catch up.
ReplyDeleteAnother self treat x
DeleteAlways interesting, your posts. The Spanish Choir was brilliant, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA blast from the past
DeleteThe video is boss. I love the violins when they come thundering in and I get the lisping now ( not understanding the reference before)
ReplyDeleteLee
They just can’t pronounce some English words , something I find incredibly endearing
DeleteI had to watch it 3 times , every time I come here and it is still up.
ReplyDeleteWhat is?
DeleteErr the video? DOH!
DeleteKudos on the coursework and the writing compliment! Kathy
ReplyDeleteIt's a LONG time since I was at the Dinorben, probably around 1979 was my last visit there.
ReplyDeleteAt that time, they did an 'All you can eat' buffet.
My last meal there was with Mum & Dad, and I ate until I was fit to burst. After all these years the only thing I remember clearly, is having four portions of dessert, a very rich chocolate soufflé which I more or less drowned in double cream!
Halfway back home I started to feel awfully queasy, and was warned by Dad that if I threw up in his car, I'd be cleaning it for the rest of time. Needless to say, I used 'mind over matter' and kept my delicious lunch down!
Husband and I will have to take a drive out there sometime, for old time's sake!

We all love your writing, no surprise your tutor does.
ReplyDeleteI love your writing - so interesting, personal, and upbeat even when you are down. I was wondering if you know about this guy (sort of think you do) Incredible Voice of Aaron lorey - Singing Trucker 🏴 ❤️
ReplyDeleteSinging Working Man
This is my fav

You live a rich life. Nice to know what your tutor has to say — and no surprise. I’m so pleased with how well school is going. It’s fascinating how aware you are of the lisping. I realize I don’t even think about in anymore. It’s simply like another letter
ReplyDeleteThe Dinorban looks like a fabulous place! I'm glad Leo is coming for a visit. Let me know if you have a free moment in London!
