Why do they?

 Husband enjoyed his birthday big cooked breakfast, I also enjoyed mine - I had a small portion of muesli, with fresh forest fruits and Greek yogurt, followed by a pain au chocolat.  I had to laugh - when we arrived, the host (the manager I think) came over and asked if we'd made a reservation.....the (large) restaurant was completely empty!  We went and chose a table and then, as luck would have it, a party of 4 business colleagues who were clearly staying at the adjoining hotel (2 men, 2 women) came and sat at the table right next to us....oddly, as there were so many other empty tables.  They were very noisy and were constantly traipsing up and down to the 'serve yourself' buffet counter, shouting across to their colleagues to ask if they wanted any toast doing, or a top up of coffee or juice.  It's sod's law isn't it - if you park in a big empty car park, someone is bound to come and park right next to you, so close you can barely open your car door 😒😂.  Going off on a tangent, I once went to the Gardeners World show at the NEC in Birmingham with a female relative, who was notoriously scatty - she drove.  When we left the show at the end of the day, the car park we were in was virtually empty, there was just her car and one other parked directly behind it.....my relative, for some inexplicable reason, REVERSED into the car behind, denting the front of it with her towbar.  I didn't know whether to laugh or cry!  (She did leave a note with her details under the windscreen wiper).

When we got back home yesterday, husband decided to carry on with the little fence in the car port - he's finished it now and it looks good, he's made a nice job of it. 

Betty giving it the once over, sorry about the poor light.

I'm going to make a big effort to get our savings back up, as I really want vertical blinds up at the windows, especially the kitchen and lounge - the net curtains are really annoying me.  I'm not a fan of nets anyway, I only put them up as a temporary measure as we're a bit overlooked here, but they're a blimmin nuisance when I want to open the windows, especially the kitchen one - I have to keep moving things off the windowsill.

Husband had a nice card from one of those online card companies yesterday - but it wasn't for him!  The envelope was addressed to him, but the card inside wasn't his name and was from a couple he'd never heard of.  A mistake obviously, but he kept the card on display as it was a funny one 😂

Today we're going to a little independent garden centre and cafe just down the road, we've not been there before although we pass it umpteen times.  I've noticed a sign outside for a dog groomers there, so that's the primary reason for going, I want to check them out.  And have a look in the garden centre, of course!  Just a look though, I'm not planning on buying anything.
