Chatter

I'm a bit lost with the days now that we have had two Bank Holidays. I have to look out of the window in the morning to see which of my neighbours have gone to work. Which cars are there and which are missing. Some of them have works vans as well as their own car. I thought it was Monday when I woke up, then realised it was still the weekend. To confuse matters, the man across the road works 4 x 12 hour shifts then has four days off. Six till six, days or nights. I think that would be a good job to have with those hours. Better than the hours I worked when I was driving, 5 x 12 hour days. 

I did my usual walk today. The tracks are very muddy, it has been raining a lot. I got chatting to a man today, he was walking in the opposite direction. He said he had sent some pics to his girlfriend who has agreed to come out walking with him. She wasn't impressed when he showed her how muddy it is. I said, you will have to buy her some boots, and suggests he goes to Go Outdoors where they have a good selection. 

Chatting for 20 minutes meant that I had to get a move on because I had allowed myself two hours for the walk. I calculated that it would be dark by 4.30pm. 

Not quite dark yet. Ten minutes to get back to the village. 

I met a woman who was walking her dog. She is a nice lady, we have spoken before. She has a gorgeous Boxer dog. I carry dog treats in my pocket so I offered one. She said he is allowed treats. I always ask as some dogs might be on a special diet. He liked it and I got the feeling he would have liked another one. They only get one. Some of the dogs in the village remember I have treats, and get excited when they see me. 

My neighbour was outside at the front of her house when I got back. I stopped to chat. We haven't chatted much before because she is always busy with family stuff. It was a good conversation. 

No cooking tonight. I warmed a portion of stew up in the microwave. That's the last of the meatballs gone now. I wont be buying any more, it was like chewing cardboard. 

Five miles walked today. Total 32. 

Monday tomorrow. Must think of something to do to fill the day up. It depends on the weather. Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
