First Thing Blog Posted,

and I was out, 

into a grey, wet rainy day, because of that every visitor had brought their cars, so the space I had was as far away from the entrance to the nursing home as was possible, inside Duncan was in fine spirts which made the journey worthwhile, we chatted away, I mentioned that in just 2 months time I would not be visiting as we will be in Thailand and Diana in the Philippines, we chatted about our stay in the Philippines way back in the mid 1980s when we stayed in Puerto Galera, great fun reminiscing, as Duncan's lunch arrived we said our farewells, 

back across the car park and a drive home where I played with a few photographs, all from a folder I call Funfair, these are two of them,

the funfair at the end of the pier in Bournemouth, 

and a close up of one of the rides when we visited a steam fair, next,

 time for my evening read and sherry, 

for tonight a prawn cocktail, 

and a cottage pie, 'Cheers!', after the usual Outback Opal Hunters,

 I decided to watch Birdsong, which is a TV mini series, a drama set before and during WWI which was quite enjoyable, I watched episode one and will watch episode two tomorrow evening as Diana has another late shift, next,

The Day the Earth Stood Still, I had watched it before, great special effects but take those away and the 1951 original I thought was better, after which Diana arrived home, so it was feet up for a coffee and a chat, as we watched one from It Ain't Half Hot Mum, before we were off to bed.
