Text of the page (random words):
hmcr which told me how much i had been taxed on keith s pension but could i find it it was not where i thought i had put it with all the other official paperwork in the blue boxfile it will have to be stratagraphic searches next i researched cheap swimwear it will only be worn the once to float in the dead sea as i do not like swimming also warm pyjamas for our night in the desert and i may get a silk sleeping bag liner as well as i don t have room to take the sleeping bag they advise though sheets and blankets are provided but it gets cold in the desert at night i also need to get some new casual soft shoes to take done bought the same ones as i had last year from cotton traders i ordered water purification tablets from amazon which we need for jordan and a pretty fungi covered metal drinks bottle from ebay so progress i didn t have time to cancel my tv licence since i cannot get live tv without a roof aerial and can live without iplayer that will be a saving i did force myself to go up and do my best to repair that victorian quilt but by gum each little diamond takes an hour and it s as much carpentry as sewing as the cardboard templates are tough and i have to use snipe nose pliers to get the needle through and try and make an invisible stitch on the printed canvas backing material or go back in the same hole and move the needle along i have just come to a mangled one so removed it and hope that i can insert the replacement with less angst off to do some more of peter rabbit all in browns one dmc number apart so needs concentration i have finished santa and his sheep helper but need to make it up and stuff it before i show a photo posted by bovey belle at 19 23 14 comments labels holiday shopping quilt repair midwinter china peter rabbit x stitch wednesday 22 january 2025 low cloud i didn t realize i could enhance my photos so twiddled with the sky on this one to make it stand out more i think this is called cloud inversion and is reasonably rare where colder air sinks and is trapped near the ground in valleys here i went out to do the grocery shopping ahead of the next storm eowyn which is heading our way over the next few days however our road into town was shut because a new house being built was having a pole put into carry electrics and internet i had been going to go to llandod but this would now mean driving 7 miles to garth then 13 to llandod each way i decided to go to brecon instead as no further it was very foggy up on the epynt range well low cloud really and slow going but i got there as usual i went to aldi then parked in an empty parking space 1 hr s free parking which enabled me to walk to the po in co op and send off my old driving licence did i want to make sure it safely got there the next day that would be 8 50 please no thanks i ll take my chances it s going to be destroyed anyway i took a big bag of charity shop donations to tenovus and popped into wh smith to check if today s quilter was in yes it was and it was the one copy i wanted to buy so that came home with me this tickled me on the way back a sentry box with its own little fireplace and chimney blardy cold up there in winter i imagine it dates back to wwii morrisons annoyed me as they had a good offer on earl grey teabags normally 6 for 80 but there was a ticket saying 3 50 i bought one got charged full price and only when i put my shopping in the car and came back to check did i realize it was their loyalty card offer i don t buy much in there so haven t bothered with the card i wouldn t have bought it had i known ah well s ennybridge range the far side of the b4519 i could hear the staccato of guns so there must have been soldiers on the firing range there were canvas backed army lorries parked up and some young men in army camo gear in the photo below and in a building just off the road too above is the strip of the epynt between this b road and the b4520 which is the route i normally take into brecon i parked up in a layby to take photos of the low cloud i was above to drive down into quite atmospheric i ll never get to the top of pen y fan to see the same thing up there so will settle for this i made myself a tasty chicken stir fry for tea tonight with an aldi pack of chinese veg stirfry just 89p and good fresh veg the tesco ones smell mouldy when you open them and i ve not bought one for years and a sweet chilli sauce yummy it is and plenty for tea tomorrow too as i cooked up a portion of rice to mix in with it i have a list of things i could keep busy doing as long as my arm but will settle for the grocery shopping and a load of washing achieved today posted by bovey belle at 18 14 8 comments labels epynt ranges tuesday 21 january 2025 being a damp squib and update yesterday i thought i was getting better i woke at 4 10 this morning though and that was it for the day although i had a sofa nap mid morning i put on a relaxing you tube video of a stream running through woodland in spring and with birdsong i had it on in the background as i pottered in the kitchen but when i went back in it suddenly hit me it was still winter and i was in tears i changed it to a log fire just as bad as that reminded me of our wood burner back at ynyswen and happier days tam and rosie gave me a video call which helped cheer me up and then gabby arrived with lunch not that i had any appetite and had to force food down ham salad crisps and bread she bought me a boughten beef curry for tea hope i can manage some of that as i haven t been able to eat much just no appetite since getting so chilled my head was very cotton woolly this morning but i ve not had a cold update granny c always said if you have been under the weather eat something tasty anyway i wasn t sure i would eat the curry but once i could smell it heating in the microwave i began to drool it was splendid huge chunks of beef and plenty of them it made me break out in a sweat on my face as it was quite punchy a good strong madras but i ate it all bar two bits of chilli and a spoonful of rice it was aldi s gastro range gabby got herself a chicken tikka and she said she s had them before and they re good i ve also had a soak in the bath and that made me feel much better too off to watch patience on channel 4 which is a good series about an autistic archivist who helps to solve murders it is based on a friend drama astrid murder in paris i have episode 16 of series 7 of outlander to watch too and countless neil oliver and time team digging for britain programmes plus a series called renegade nell on disney which is nice and light she set me up with a monzo account for our spending money out in jordan which trip is once again feeling like stepping off a precipice and i am dreading it stood by whilst i went over using my zettle machine for card payments at the fair something else hanging over me and we got my renew your driving licence form filled out and ready to send off then we set to on the beast of a

monday 20 january 2025 wassailing i had to drag myself out of bed at 6 45 this morning as the chap is coming to do the heating boiler service for the year it was going to be last friday but they had to cancel it as there were people with broken boilers so i had to go in and get the bed linen off the drying rails move keith s wheelchair a couple of the 3 child car seats etc he was due 7 30 8 a m and hasn t arrived yet 10 to 8 at least we wont be too long without the heating on i had another rough night as it suddenly occurred to me i d left the heating on at 15 as tam gets cold in the middle of the night she sleeps half covered so that rosie has no risk of suffocating so i had to come down and go in the airing cupboard and turn the system off at the control panel then of course i was awake for hours and instead of shivering i was really hot and my bladder was uncomfortable again and my hair looks like an oil slick this morning i took ibuprofen at breakfast but none since and feel a little more human so perhaps it was just a chill then as no engineer appeared i left a somewhat irate message on the company s answerphone as they weren t answering it turns out it was my fault as it was next monday they were coming so we froze for nothing 3 short videos at the bottom wassailing is supposed to take place on the 12th night after christmas however this was postponed from last weekend as it was so bitterly cold hah not much better on saturday it is an ancient pagan tradition to ensure tree fertility in the coming season drinking the health of the tree in cider and making loud noises to scare off evil spirits the piece of bread is to bring good fortunes to all for the year wikipedia will give lots more details posted by bovey belle at 15 43 18 comments labels wassailing sunday 19 january 2025 feeling ghastly i got thoroughly chilled at the wassailing yesterday we were stood around for nearly 2 hours before they went down to the orchard i must have been brewing something as when i drove home i couldn t warm up and in the house i began to shiver and my teeth were chattering and i was in bed at 8 30 with about a dozen layers of quilts and blankets on top of me and a hotty botty bed heater had been on too it was a long night my bladder was very painful and i was up and down to the loo all night and had to take ibuprofen in the end and finally slept a bit then tam is coming over today i tried to persuade her i was better just tucked up on the sofa but she insisted on coming to look after me i think i will be sleeping most of the day wassailing post when i am better posted by bovey belle at 09 20 16 comments saturday 18 january 2025 having a purpose in life i don t like complaining but on checking through my plusnet account i found that i had not been compensated for the lengthy outage in october so yesterday i made phoning them a priority to chase this payment up i spoke to a very helpful girl who put me on hold with the most ghastly background music whilst she spoke to someone about it and was finally told i d be having 78 08 credited to my account so nearly three months of broadband free follow up emails and confirmation of 75 that ll do compensation came in due course so that s a positive now need to try and get bt to cough up the payment for the cheque that got put in a drawer here and forgotten it was a repayment for phone and broadband at ynyswen twice the have told me it will be sorted and nothing happened so monday i shall get onto them again all incoming monies gratefully received roll on summer wisteria at powys castle neighbour s friend came up for a chat again yesterday and helpfully went up the taller stepladder and put some of the masking tape up in the guest bedroom he s popping back this morning to finish it off for me but told me i was not to go on the top step of the ladder to paint when i was on my own as said steps felt a bit wobbly i will make sure i only do the top bits when tam is here she s coming over on sunday so if i do all the top bits whilst she s here i should be ok to do the lower walls with the shorter ladder i made a couple of apple gingerbread cakes yesterday and froze one knowing i was to have a visitor gave me a sense of purpose that is something rather lacking since i have been on my own meals are a bit haphazard no trying out new recipes and i fall back on meals i know off by heart how to make and usually have some for the night and portions for the freezer but having a reason to bake is always good and i love to bake the door to the top freezer got pushed open the other night and so i had a pack of 4 pieces of plaice in breadcrumb to be eaten as they had thawed totally other stuff ok i managed to eat plaice two nights running before i couldn t face a third and the carrion crows benefitted i ll be back late from the wassailing today so will have to get something i made earlier out to thaw cajun dirty rice perhaps happier days the kitchen at ynyswen flowers from the garden i must plant more cutting flowers here i ll do the wassailing post tomorrow meanwhile i have a hot date with a vacuum cleaner posted by bovey belle at 08 40 6 comments labels having a purpose in life friday 17 january 2025 birdsong for a little while yesterday just a little while with the sun out it felt like spring i wasn t out in it long as i had to drive to tam s and it took 2 hrs to get there as i got stuck behind a couple of slow vehicles and the road does not lend itself to overtaking in many places i decided not to fret and just plod and enjoy the scenery around me it had been very foggy overnight but had cleared to a beautiful sunny day when i set off after breakfast i pulled into a layby on the way as i wanted to take photos of another area laid to waste recently by storm darragh this pine woodland was on the hillside and just this one swathe had been taken out and reduced to splinters by a sudden extra strong gust there had been a very hard frost and this area and others in the valley bottom and side which don t get much sun stayed frosted all day the hills give rough grazing to sheep and whilst you might think there it very unwelcoming countryside you can just make out a little farmstead near the right hand side of the photo i think the farmstead is in the trees but this is an outbuilding and a trailer i reckon the birds also note the slow lengthening of the days and i noted this morning there is the start of a tentative dawn chorus which is a real positive i noted it today because i had to take out the corpse of a little chestnut brown field mouse they have white tummies and big ears too and are seriously cute which the girls had run to earth under my bed i was woken by frantic carpet scratching in the vicinity of my head beneath the bed and hanging out of said bed could see lulu scrabbling at an upturned box of tissues they do stake outs on the cupboard under the stairs where i keep the bedlinen and whatever useful boxes of stuff i can shove in there so i guess this mouse ventured forth this old house has walls l...
