Dear Family and Friends, It was a warm sunny day today, although it clouded up later. We visited Clacton this morning, it is definitely becoming tatty at the seams, we noticed as we hadn't visited since before the lockdown. Home to lunch, after which we watched more "Monk", one more episode tomorrow. Now it is time for me to assemble another work of art for your viewing pleasure!
From our old friends across the sea, together with a bunch of woodshoes having fun!

Dear Family and Friends, Today started dull but brightened up by lunchtime.My back continues to complain, meaning that I have been keeping a low profile. PM we continued to binge watch "Monk", which resembles a cross between Columbo and Professor T. Now I have as is often the case, been ferreting around and gathered together enough material for another blog. Please enjoy!
Ah! That's how it works!
Another oldie that was a hit in the 60s and reappeared in the 80s!
Shopping!
Thanks Stuart!
Re Barbecues!
This is very important. Please read carefully. BBQ RULES: We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion: (1) The woman buys the food. (2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert. (3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill - beer in hand. (4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three meter exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman. Here comes the important part: (5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL. (6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery. (7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat Important again: ( THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN. (9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table. (10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes And most important of all: (11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts. (12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ' her night off ', and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there's just no pleasing some women
Thanks again Stuart!
