Miggins Posted February 20, 2022 Author Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Happy Birthday, Eddie! Did you celebrate at the beer place in Ashbourne? Hope it was a good day!! Went to Ashbourne yesterday morning for brunch and a mooch but then about 12 noon snow came hurtling down and so we legged it back to Belper! No problem getting home although the road was a bit slushy. Edited February 20, 2022 by Miggins cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used a mix of single cream and yoghurt and it was fabulous. cstand and Miggins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve went clay pigeoning this morning for the first time this year and Freddie Goodcat has spent most of the day lying in the sunshine. We've been able to get a first coat of sealant on the new shed in the last two days as good weather has been forecast for the rest of the week to allow it to dry. Blackthorn out everywhere, daffodils looking beautiful and the hawthorn starting to green up. Lovely full moon the other night. It's called many names according to different traditions but I like the Native American 'Worm Moon' as it's when they noticed worm casts on the ground and it was a sign of spring. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly we had to go to my cousins funeral last week. He was 69 and died in his sleep following a heart attack. Very fit bloke for his age. He loved formula 1 and his coffin entered the crematorium to that theme tune. Despite my tears I had to smile as I imagined it entering on a set of F1 wheels and screeching round the pews in true John style!! ☺️ angieram and Comrade 86 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggins Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 A flock of bramblings in the garden today. They were feeding up on sunflower seeds ready for their long journey back to Scandinavia. I thought they were chaffinches until I located the binoculars. It's the first time I've ever seen a brambling and it brings my 'species of birds seen in 2022' total to 42. What a pretty bird.

It's a lovely time of year this, and this sort of thing only enhances it. I almost suggested someone start a thread entitled "Picture the prettiest looking bird you've ever seen", and... well... y'know... probably best not! ?

Rev Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 I bumped into my sister today, for the first time since her wedding 20 odd years ago! Amazingly, it was not at all awkward, despite the distance between us. DarkFruitsRam7, sage, Miggins and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Got some new bookcases as I was running out of space and my gf helped put them up. Then we both enjoyed pancakes and started stacking the books.

Been feeling quite blue recently so it's been the best day I've had in a good while When I moved from Glossop to Belper to live with Mr. Miggins all my books had to be put in storage for a year as there was no room for them. A year later we got better organised and bought some 'Billy' bookcases from Ikea. Being reunited with my books was like being reunited with old friends and it suddenly felt more like my house as well. There's something very therapeutic about getting organised and it's even better with pancakes! Edited March 29, 2022 by Miggins angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
