22nd January 2026 - Getting fed up with rain

Thought for the day :"I'm on my way to fix Cat Stevens' caravan. Awning has broken..."

Wet 

Another lazy day - seem to have a few of them lately 

Puppies were a bit lazy as well 

Have the image for Hannah and Ollie's Wedding in July 

Resolved our long standing problem with Paypal Evri and Halal (The Chinese company that Susie bought her jeans from)

Spent a long time getting the time line right and getting all the emails in order to show that Evri were still looking for the package 7 days after the date that they retrospectively stated that it had been delivered.

Took a lot of patience but found a lovely lady called Jenny in the Dispute Section who sorted us out - heard the whole story and then refunded us with the amount claimed - which sadly Susie had entered on the list as £59.50 rather than £59.90 the cost ..  Lovely lady sent us a credit for 40p afterwards. 

So Susie has a Paypal Account again

21st January 2026 - Another wet day

Thought for the day :"Thought I saw a cow sleeping on a building site but it was just a bulldozer"

Wet

Peacocks are still very bedraggled 

But, had a good evening with Ollie and Hannah to discuss their wedding reception in July.

Should be fun 

Trip to NCE to pick up Susie's meds and to Beulah to get more coal.  Filled the car up in readiness for the weekend where I shall be addressing the Haggis in Swansea at Beaufort Ladies' Night and heading off to Bristol for the Thomas of Accon Meeting.

Tillyvision for today :

Still got my head in the book for the Consecration and Instruction next week.

Cheers 

 

20th January 2026 - Signs in the Sky

Thought for the day :"Has anyone tried Stallone's Scones? They're the best thing since Sly's bread."

Wet

Signs of the time ? 
We now have a the aurora as far as West Wales 

Photos from local photographers in Rhydlewis

Sadly - nothing seen at Ffynnon Wen 

For us, the day was wet and dripping 

A wet view of the cottage 

Even Fabio is looking damp and desolate

19th January 2026 - Mixed day

Thought for the day :"I wanted to be a historian, but there was no future in it."

Wet

Early start as taking Susie to Carmarthen Glangwili hospital for her CT scan.

A relieved Susie was able to eat later on !!

Walked dogs and managed a TillyVision 

Fajitas for tea 

Evening in front of the box.

Cheers 

18th January 2026 - And home again

Thought for the day :"The reason birds fly south for winter is because it’s faster than walking"

Dry

Driving home from St Briavel. Got home after lunch time, walked the dogs, and spent a couple of hours unloading the car and clearing all the general equipment from the weekend.

A generally quiet day.

Susie preparing for a CT scan tomorrow which requires starving and taking some nasty medication that keeps her in the bathroom for most of the day. Not a happy bunny.

17th January 2026 - St Elli Installation Llanelli

Thought for the day :"My chiropractor has an inversion table to stretch your spine, if you feel so inclined."

Dry

Drive up from Wye Valley 

Installation at Llanelli - Mandated Officer as Right Worshipful Past Junior Warden. 

A food day 

And then a drive back to the Castle for the evening banquet  and Singing with Devil stick doing his inimitable magic and juggling acts.  

No other photos - which is a bit of a pity

Cheers 

16th January 2026 - And off to St Briavels

Thought for the day :"Mality. Mality. Mality. Mality. Right, that's the formalities over with..."

Wet 

No Photos today - have a car full of music kit and LARP kit.

Cheers
