Another Peaceful Start To The Day,

for the fox,

 catching the early morning rays, a quiet day for myself, but for Diana she decided to give the bedroom a spring clean, so for myself it was feet up, keep out of the way and watch some television,

 in the afternoon I decided to take a couple of photographs of Diana's succulents now that the flowers were beginning to open,

and strange they looked too,

 well perhaps not this one,

quite delicate as it happens,

 time for our evening meal,

 Diana had made a delicious salad for our starter,

 a crispy lettuce leaf filled with coleslaw, sweetcorn and boiled eggs, it was almost a meal in itself,

 'Cheers!',

 on to our main course,

 ribs and rice for Diana,

 chili con carne with rice for myself, plus a couple of ribs sans sauce,

 for dessert a mini Magnum,

followed by some of the delicious chocolate from Ocelot, in Edinburgh, for tonight a few pieces of Eggnog, we listened to music for the rest of the evening, and as the midnight hour approached, we were off to bed.

The Day Started With A Nice Surprise,

the chocolate arrived,

 having tried and enjoyed their chocolate before, last week we had ordered some more from Ocelot, which is a small business, based in Edinburgh, Scotland, and is owned and run by Matt and Ish, they make speciality chocolates, which are just so nice,

the chocolate with a cocoa percentage of 70%, is made from beans which are grown in Virunga National park, Africa's oldest nature reserve, and the home of the last Mountain Gorilla, You can keep up with news and offers on their twitter and instagram pages, later today the ducks made an appearance, so I threw some peanuts out for them, just as I found the camera something must have spooked them and they were off, hopefully they will be back tomorrow, in the afternoon couple of games of Monopoly, the score one all, 

after our evening meal it was feet up for We're No Angels, a sweet comedy, taking place on Devils Island, set at Christmas, a great cast and performance, especially from Adolf, next a Poirot, rounding off the evening with a New Tricks, and with the end of that we were off to bed.
