Tuesday 30th May

Back to early mornings since I didn't do much yesterday.  Four when I woke up, coffee, games, television at seven and finished watching what I slept through last night.  The joys of Netflix.  Washed dressed in gardening clothes just in case the mood took me and it didn't but I did managed to wander the garden for tortoise at nine and only managed to spot Blue and Green God catching what rays of sun were available...and that wasn't much.  Toast for breakfast, poor pickings in the house at the moment and I really think another trip to Lldl is on the cards.  The other morning I really fancied baked beans and after sorting though the tin bin, there weren't any left so they're on the list already.

The rest of the morning was taken up with continuing to set up the little laptop.  I tried to download the picture reducing programme, that part worked but I didn't manage to sign in to an ID that wold accept changes to the computer so back to the drawing board Cecil and I gave up on trying.  It's for another day...this one works very well on my deslk top.  I also started to go through the printouts for the two families that I've been working on  and I've decided that the quickest way to create an acceptable layout is to use magnets and attach the printouts to a metal sheet and I have one that I can use.  Just need to find a place to set it up.  I printed off today's lesson for my student and it worked very well,  the Witches is proving very popular and I'm impressed that he puts so much expression in it when reading the text and laughs finding it very funny.  Don't think that you get many youngsters reading Roal Dahl in BG.  

Down to the shop and sat with his mother for a while having a chat,  I told her that her son had shown me his PROM clothes that he was very proud of.  He'd put half towards his shoes himself,,,,and his final exams to see if he changes schools take place in two weeks time,  His brother changed schools at his age and travelled into Kardjali each day on the bus....not sure if it's going to work for the little one but he's a really bright boy and manages to hold a conversation in English at thirteen,

Supper is finished, turkey thingies again stuffed with cheese and spicy wedges so want to get this update posted.  Nipper is going in for a check-up tomorrow bright and early so I'll stop for bread on the way back and then I'll manage without Lidl unless we have a rainy day.  I've just taken the photos of the garden , I'm so pleased with the selection of plants this year.  I've let it go wild in places because of the tortoise but it still looks good.  LN.....Gardening day tomorrow when I get back from the garage.....LN

Wednesday 31st May

Well another month soon to be gone and le't hope the weather cheers up for next one.  I've just had the first clap of thunder of the day so won't be long on this update.  The evening full of promise has gone already.

Early start for me again, I wasn't too late to bed and I've had a very pleasant day.  I really should have mown the grass again looiking at the storm clouds gathering, I though the weather was beginning to settle.....but it appears, no chance.  Toast for breakfast, I came home from my student's lesson with ten more eggs so I should really be doing something with them, I've got three left from the last haul.  I washed and dressed for the garden but it just didn't happen, I was about to drive into town when I  spotted Zelinger in Avatar's garden and went over for a catch-up with them, nobody gave me a shopping list so I said fond farewells and headed off to the garage.  When I'd started the Nipper up yesterday I smelled gas so wanted the pipes checked out.  I didn't notice it this morning and when I got to the garage and opened up the bonnet, they couldn'd smell anything either and asked me if I'd recently filled up.  I said yes and they said that it was a common problem, there was nothing to worry about so I drove to the main square and went on a walk-about.  

First stop was the flower shop and found a gaia that needed love and attention and I got money knocked off it.  I also asked her if she could manage to get me a large bag of potting compost, I saw that she sold the twenty litre one and she said that she would ask the supplier.  A few more things from the leva shop, ten minutes with my student's mum in the shop and a few more giirlie giggles and then home to see Green God near the garage as I parked up.  I was eager to get the gate closed so he couldn't escape, didn't manage to spot him so forgot all about it,  Ten minutes later I went out on to the terrace and he was standing there so I picked him up and airlifted him back to the grass.  Next thing he was scrabling in the little garden between the steps so I left him to it.  About fifteen minutes later I spotted him back on the terrace....and somehow he must have managed the steps....no way could he have walked round so back he went onto the grass and last spotted heading down the garden,

I was home for one unpacked the shopping, made a coffee and a cheese and onion sandwich, sat down and put Netflix on.  I was looking for something new and fell upon a one off called Unbelievable and it was really good.  Brief interlude when Avatar came round with a bowl of strawberries that she'd been given so I traded two spicy sausages of the four that I'd bought earlier in Djebel.  I offered to cook supper for her but her son is still here so maybe she'd got something already planned.  I've just been out on a photo shoot, especially noticing that the moon was out...a very rare sight these days.  Those clouds I took a pickie of have thickened somewhat, moon has gone and it's looking very much like it might rain.  We've had two peels of thunder and rain may be on the agenda for tonight so maybe no gardening tomorrow....and still the grass grows longer.  Supper over and done with, spicy sausage, onions and potatoes with mayo and that should see me through until morning.  LN.....Welcome June and hopefully summer....if not more ancestry or Netflix......LN
