18th October 2026 - Sunday Lunch

Thought for the day :"Just swapped my Venison dinner for Roast Pheasant - it's a real game changer"

Dry 

Getting chillier but still very bright blue sky.

Walked the dogs - though Tilly is on heat again - and Toby is still only five weeks from his op so may still be viable

Sunday lunch at the Penllwyndu - popped in to admire Sarah and Dave's new house which they have done a great job with.

Books out again to learn the Prior for Ancient Masonic Order of Alfred the Great.

Also the Most Excellent Master for Tuesday - Life is busy 

Cheers

17th October 2026 - Royal Order of Scotland - Penarth

Thought for the day :"It gets on my nerves when people use the same word twice in a sentence. Enough is enough."

Royal Order of Scotland meeting in Penarth. Luckily have now persuaded two Aberystwyth brethren to join - which gives me a lift !!   Result !

Not much time for anything else today - rest tomorrow 

Cheers 

16th October 2026 - And a Green One - Belgium Style

Thought for the day :"I've started on a Beekeeping course.
I'm getting a real buzz out of it."

Wet

And the fire is lit - first day of the winter 

But the garden is still blooming

Cheers
