been busy today,made a latch for the front gate,it slammed all night in the high winds,maybe we will get a decent nights sleep tonight! the sun keeps breaking through the clods,but its still cold.
Went over to |Tim's at west knoyle today ,picked up some interior doors to replace broken/missing ones in the house,not enough hinges though! got the rear kitchen one up hopefully it will keep it a bit warmer in the house ,the back of the house is north facing and stay's very cold.
Jack has made a beef casserole today ,at 9 years of age i think he is doing well with his cooking,look forwards to trying it later.shame it wasn't venison! grrrrrrrrr!
Well the stew was great! jacks the man when it comes to stews,i look forward to his next try.
the wind has died down now which is good,the wind gets me down.Sarah has just finished a tank top jumper for the school bear ,problem is its too small,hey ho,at least it will fit another of the many teddys here.
Just listening to the radio ,bbc r2 or as it used to be ,the light program! paul gambochini is on doing his American charts show.I have prepped most of the roast lunch for tomoz,roasted chickens with all the trimmings,which brings me onto a bit of a sore subject,supermarkets are hitting us real hard during this resession ,at morrisons this week one thing really pissed me off,they had two small chickens in a pack marked up at £8.00 for the two,made it look like a great offer ,till you look further along the counter and see that a single chicken is only £3.50! (bearing in mind they were £2.50 a year ago.) and Tesco are at it too,1kg tin of quality street chocolates,advertised as being half price at £5.00 a tin,well before Christmas they were £4.99 a tin,when i pointed this out to the customer services assistant i was told that £5.00 is half price as they were £9.99 a tin in June 2011! really deceptive,still Tesco took a big hit over the Christmas period with sales massively down knocking £s off their share prices.(rant over).
Kids are in bed now ,we played rummy card game this evening ,Ben's a real card shark and pretty good at chess too.Charlie fell asleep on Sarah's lap ans she carried him up,guess he had a busy day with his painting,making a mess with brown sauce and terrorising the neighbourhood.
Church tomorrow,missed it last week ,i certainly feel like it does a lot of good ,re-charges my batteries ready for another hard week.The job centre was fun this week,theres just no jobs out there,even the job centre staff,Justine,could only find 4 jobs within 20 miles of this address most of them closer to the 20 mile than is useful,wish i had got my bike licence back when i had the money,if i had a bike i could at least get out on my own,or get a part time job,i am thinking of doing proper carving if i can find the training,i would love a job carving at Salisbury cathedral or for the NT,i look at the ruud screens and the like in the churches and marvel at the workmanship ,would be great for something of mine to be around in 500 years,leave a stamp on history so to speak.
i think ill have an early night and listen to the radio in bed,hope something goods on.
