Things That Gladden The Heart

Dishwasher finally broke yesterday, now people may think "wrong thread that's irritating" indeed it is..however we have lived here 10 years. It was left for us by the owners (with other bits) it's the last thing left really. It's done well! I've been eyeing up one with a draw for the cutlery for ages but refuse to throw away a working dishwasher.

So tomorrow the new one arrives, added bonus it is more efficient aswell

Only about a day washing up as it had finished yesterday before it gave up
 
For the first time since the separation I have just booked a 3 day gig/festival for March next year. No idea who I am going with but I want to go and so I have 8 months to find someone or I am going alone. Learning to live my life the way I want, with someone or without. Anyone going to the anniversary Shiine On Weekender in Skeg in March next year, I may need company at the bar :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
so proud of eldest.

Farewell to rainbows tonight (becomes a brownie in September) she got a special gold award for doing all the badges. The first rainbow in the groups history to get that (does help when nanny is brown owl so does the badges with her)

She was so proud bless her.

Twins will start end of the year ... Ones excited.. the normal pain in the bum twin is ofc "I don't want to go" shouted at top of voice
 
There will never be bad profiteroles or Crème Brûlée .. they may differ they may not be made as well as others .. but they will still be enjoyed.
 
One of the joys of travel is the culinary delights one comes across. The latest offering comes from Scotland. Killie pies. I smuggled through customs 4 x Killie Pies. There is now 3 left. They are a thing of beauty.
Say Aye to a Killie pie.

Missis Ts birthday today. Ended the day at a pub called Carpenters Arms in Walesby Notts. It’s an Italian restaurant. Sweet lord it’s one of the best meals I have had in this country and certainly the best Italian i have had.
 
White vinegar, nothing like coming back to work after a nice break and bringing some in to descale the kettles for the crew.

Nice clean kettles again.

Beautiful

Thanks Tashy, only 30 miles away so within easy distance and been looking at potential date venues away from my village.
 
When I go to visit my Ma - who doesn't live too far from Walesby - it's often the Carpenters we go to. It's good.
I didnt know until I had booked it but it has been nominated as one of the best restaurants in the East Midlands. 😳👍

It was the towns carnival this week

The daughters school were doing Alice Wonderland and they spent weeks decorating the float

Then all the kids were put into a hat to see who would be part of it on the day and my daughter and three of her friends were picked

She went as Queen of Hearts and they had a brilliant time -

And now just found out they won the prize for the best float 👏👏

To say well done we went to the park yesterday where she promptly fell off the zip line , lost a tooth ( that was due to fall out ) , fat lip and sore ankle this morning 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

But she had ice cream and loved it 😂
