STRAWBERRY RIPPLE..

No, Dear Readers, SHE has not zoomed forward to thoughts of summer puddings, SHE went out and about today after a morning of 'light' house work and did not return until it was 30 minutes past four of the clock, yippee, for it was still light!

The day's weather had been wonderful, slightly chilly but bright and sunny, hurray! And, of course, the 'Strawberry Ripple' in the pale turquoise sky was the sun's ray on its descent.. so beautiful.

It was almost worthy of being called a 'Turner' sky and talking of that wonderful artist, SHE is off down the river to The National Maritime Museum to see the new Turner exhibition which is called 'Turner and the Sea', for they have managed to get some very treasured treasures of his to display.

Oh yum, such a treat to be able to see these beautiful works of art.. how lucky WE are in this city with the never ending amount of glorious things to go and look at, mostly for free! 

I have a new supply of MY favourite yumyum, rye with sunflower and with a soft boiled egg to break MY fast, life is good. SHE said, to a friend of HER'S up in Streatham, that HER life would be perfect if they had had the delivery of Sauerkraut but, sadly, not today, it will be in on Wednesday.

Never mind.. SHE has nice things to report on those norty 15 kilos that have to disapear.. a pair of trousers that were a little too snug around the waist are now comfy! 

How very gratifying. What SHE is doing is eating less, much less, and taking more excercise. With a bus pass it is far too easy to hop a bus for a few stops, now SHE walks and it gives old wicker a bit of exercise and fresh air too.

SHE is doing a full day at Trinity one day this week, so that means SHE will be on HER feet all day, and walking to and from the shop in South Kensington. SHE has to go to north London to collect the goodies from HER old colleague, so SHE plans to walk across the park and pick up the 274 bus from there.

Wicker will go too for SHE needs to take a raincoat to the Invisible Menders on Thayer Street.

A mouse climbed up the very long coat, plopped into the pocket, ate a chocolate sweet that was in there 
and then chewed its' way out.

It was a very norty mouse to make such a mess of that rain coat but what was a sweetie doing in the pocket in the first place, is what I want to know?

SHE has just done something stupid to the television... grrrr. A telephone call came through, so SHE pressed a button on the remote control to silence it but somehow the picture and the sound have gone away and they won't come back! 

Drat and more drats.. I cannot remember what it was WE wanted to watch but now.. WE can't.. SHE will have to speak to that helpfully man at Currys electricals.

Sigh.. this means an early night for US, SHE will do a spell check and then post this. WE will read a few chapters of a library book and I hope to play a few games of 'Chase the Nut', I have to practise this one, I am much better at 'Catch the Grape' but the only grapes in the house are for HER to break the fast, so I am not allowed to play with those.

WE will be back in the week, not sure about tomorrow but never fear, WE won't be too far away! 

GeeGee Parrot.

Postscript.. Ellie's Dairy have had their first kid of the year. She was born yesterday, a cute white kid and I believe they are going to call her Mary.
