Awake and up all night

I've also realised Dnng, that I'm very good at giving advice and need to listen to my own sometimes.

We're all guilty of that hon. I do the polar opposite of what I try to encourage others to do. I'm an idiot xxx

Gill, that's defo not the truth. You have helped me such a lot with your wise advice.

Thanks hon, but I really am a clown when it comes down to myself.

Anyway, have you two any plans for today or just taking it easy? The sun's starting to put in an appearance now so that'll keep me indoors. I was mulling over going to Judy Woods but it's decades since I've been, so not sure what it's like now. Maybe another time xxx

Judy Woods is still good. I've just made crumpets and toast with marmite for the OH.

Ooh lovely. That's one of OH's favourite snacks and we both love Marmite.

Thanks for that about JW. The last time I was there the pathways were uneven and not great if it had rained, so I was thinking about how OH would manage with his stick (Walter). I'll ask if he fancies a stroll round later this month xxx

Otherwise make him a marmite crumpet and give him a hug from me and Pippin.

Wasps usually go for sweet things. Maybe marmite would deter them - or could make them angry, so I won't advise anyone to smear marmite over themselves just yet. Once when my late wife and I were having a picnic on Exmoor, a very persistent pony kept pushing its nose almost into our faces, trying to intercept the cheese and onion rolls we were eating. It knocked one out of my wife's hand, took a nibble then got really annoyed. We had to retreat to the car. I later read that horses do not like onions.  

Aw will do, and thank you. You're a very kind and caring man, but look after the both of you also xxx

You've done it again Ray, chuckling away here

Is that true, about horses not liking onions? If so, it's one for the memory banks xxx
