Missed the coffee morning at thevillage hall,had a large order for posters so I had to stay at home and work on them,should finish them Sunday,would be nice to have enough money to retire,travel and see the world.
Bit of a shaggy dog story on montana mike's blog billy is causing a few problems on the house selling front.
Sexbomb has gone back to Alan Towers and correctly forecast the England Israel game score,hope he had a bet on it.
I had big reservations about Heskey playing,but he came up with a good performance,but he did squander a couple of good scoring chances,my tip for the top came good again(Micah Richards) and scored a goal.
its all down to beating the Russians on wednesday now.

Jam on toast
This morning dawned bright and sunny,went on the bike for a paper,took bottles to recycling bins, destroying all evidence of boozing.
Jean and Norman called in at lunchtime on their way to their caravan ate us out of house and home! Norman said something like" jyncfre hfteu nidjh" or at least it sounded like that.
I laid some flag stones in the garden then had a sit in the sun with Sheila Norman and Jean.
Tried the Jam on toast this morning ,very nice,and all the better for being partially free,only the sugar to buy.
Had a fairly big order for some posters today so that should keep me busy over the weekend
YES I shall once again be working on the sabbath,but days off in the week make up for it.
I think Sexbomb is returning to Alan Towers in burngreave today,we would have gone to Boston on Wednesday but I had a rush job of posters ,so we missed out on the all you care to eat chinese buffet which we usually go to wth them.
The Montanas are busy trying to sell the Kansas City spread and it all looks a bit hectic for them at the moment.
That poor Rotherham lad is under the cosh again at high green,regarding the quality of his driving but we can take it us natives of that lovely picturesque town on the River Rother.

scrumping
Today painted some posters for a london customer,and then went to Louth to pay in a cheque,a real labour of love ,we bought some fruit in the farmers market then back to little house on the prairie.
After a sumptuous repast at lunch time(cheese sandwich) went to our neighbour Gentleman Farmer George,whilst the ladies discussed W I matters and George cut his acres of grassland,
I explored the wood and found some sloes and damsons which I decided required a little scrumping in the end the four of us were involved ,Graham up the ladder and three offering advice,end result was a little job for the two WI stalwarts(JAM but no Jerusalem)
Local paper featured Patrick Mower the actor who is apparently a near neighbour 6 miles is near in the country,he is currently acting in the Emmerdale soap,Sandra the Pom is it seems a big fan of the programme.
Weather has been nice and warm all day very pleasant.
Prospects for the football international on saturday don't look good Heskey is rumoured to be playing...???? not looking good.

EGGYTHUMP
Yesterday Monday little to report,we went up to louth did a little shopping,bumped into Mick and Peggy Rotherham in Wilkinsons,Mick has dipensed with the stick so things are on the up for him,he claims to have squeezed the whisky out of the cake before eating it,(it's a Rotherham thing)
Today tuesday read Sonia's blog and spotted a very interesting Photo of a young fellow who looks absolutely worn out he obviously needed a power nap.
Donations toward sending him on a well earned sunshine holiday would be gratefully accepted,but PLEASE NO COINS.
Cycled to mablethorpe for a paper and took some bottles for recycling ,came back and read the sport page ,on which subject watched a game between Blackpool and Hull on sky last night,hull forward was carried off with a serious looking injury ,not something you like to see happen,lets hope he recovers ok.
I have been "volunteered" for a couple of WI events,they had a committee meeting last night as a result I am commited to attending two events.
Montana has got a new food fad EGGS! it's the future a bit like garlic bread as recommended by Peter kay the lancashire comedian.
Weather today is Sunny but a bit cool,which leads me into hot Sunny places,Gina's trip to Crete is fast approaching for those not able to make the trip,I can recommend a couple of good books based on the Island by ,Nikos Kasantzakis, Zorba the Greek, and The Fratricides, and as usual anyone seeing only the film will say the book was better.
Have been looking at Calfornia as a winter sun destination any information on it would be helpfull.

Football report
This morning I defied the scriptures and did a poster,however I may be excused because it was for a church in Sheffield,pure hypocrisy.
Some people have no scruples where money is involved.
This afternoon I watched Arsenal v Portsmouth,very one sided game ,portsmouth allowed them to play and were outclassed,fancy football but not one Englishman in the Arsenal side!
The second game was Aston Villa vChelsea, Villa were battling the whole game and came out winning 2-0 I was rooting for them and it was a good outcome because it leaves Liverpool up there(everybodys favourite team)I do have a tenuous link to Liverpool our Herbert 's grandmother was Liverpool Irish(for those not in the know Herbert was my dad.)
Montana seems to think I had an alcohol induced hallucination when I described a lady on a white horse riding by the little house,but it was an actual incident,I'm sure Farmer Joe will have seen her too,he does have an eye for the ladies,though in the past they have mainly been female bovines.
Gina is counting the days to her departure for a cretian idyll, Andrew thinks it is an it conference,but he is being culturaly challenged , ruins and stuff for the uneducated reader

Back on the prairie
Here we are back on the prairie,had a nice couple of days at Sonia and Michaels,met up with all the" quiet "sisters and spouses ,also Dino.not seen him for a couple of years,he looks in good shape,and is off to USA for a holiday,got his e mail address so will be in touch .
Tormented Naomi a little bit but not too much as it was her birthday bash,she was a little stingy with the cake though.
Gentleman George has returned a walking stick I loaned him(through the letterbox)!!I suppose he has got himself a gold tipped one with a whisky flask in the handle.
Montana Mike is off the rails he's eating DONUTS!not a good Idea next it will be Beer and stuff,where will it all end?
On a positive note we watched Sheffield Wednesday losing at home,How some of us laughed,others present were not so amused,Dino was particularly amused as he is a Leeds fan,a legacy of when he used to go wth me and Sheila to watch them.
It all seems a little congested up in the big city amazing how soon you get used to a different environment.
A young lady has just gone by on a big white horse,not many of them in Burngreave.
