On Tuesday morning I took it down the tip then went to BnQ for a new fork and brush and a few bags of bark chippings. Put that down in the afternoon and the rake broke in the process. Some pots arrived that M had ordered and a replacement plant for the pot next to the tellis by the rear kitchen window. Another AFD. Did a ride out to Hambledon with Kelvin on Thursday. Had a coffee and very good toasties at the village stores. Showed him round the Rising Sun in the evening as he's thinking about hiring it for his 80th. Yet another AFD. We went swimming on Thursday morning. Meanwhile there was an Easter bonnet competition at Edith's nursery.Popped down to BnQ with M for a new garden rake and a few other things. Took the old Kasuga into Oxfam Music.
A fourth AFD in a row. Spent most of the day on Friday cooking and tidying in preparation fir Easter. Tom, Sally and Edith got here about 10 30. JAMO came over on Saturday. We did an easter egg hunt followed by lasagne. Got a new Edith calandar as a belated birthday present. Tom beat me again in a very narrow game of crib. Tom, Sally and Edirh moved on to Keith and Fiona's on Sunday. We walked over to no 81 for dinner and got the bus back. Went to see URZ lose to top of the table Lincoln on Monday with Ralph. They conceded early but were always in with a shout and Wing equalised with a fantastic free kick in the 92nd minute only for us to mess it up and let in another in the 96th. It gave them promotion and we are down to 8th. Big crowd 17,144. The 106 legends were introduced to the crowd before rge natch including the likes if Steve Coppel and Kevin Doyle.
