Midweek special!


Or in other words, here are Tuesday and Wednesday's blogs.
Yesterday, I had a lie in wahoo, then it was off to court again, on yet another sunny day, for the long term weather report, I finish jury service on Friday, so it will chuck it down with rain up until Monday when I am back at work!
We were in and out of the court room like a fiddlers elbow yesterday, and at Lunch time, myself and one of the other Jury members went and sat outside to have our lunch, Beth who works nearby came and had lunch with us, then it was back to the court room.
My Husband picked me up in the car afterwards, and I prepared dinner, Irish of course, then, He and Lit'lun went off to church to prepare for the Taize style service that he had prepared as part of his course, I put the dog in the car and took her to a park that we don't usually go to and probably wont again seeing as she was mauled by a huge black Labrador called Alfie, and no this time that is the correct name! Name and shame, this dog ran at her from the other side of the park, en route to her he knocked a girl off her bike! Its owner tried to say it was my dogs fault as she hadn't been to the park before so his dog hadn't met her!! Don't push me mate, I was ready to call the police, and had the girl been injured I would have, my dog was right by my side, she had no contact with the cyclist and the first she knew of the other dog was when it landed on her!
We had a quick wander else where then went to the church to support my husband, it was a nice service and he had put lots of effort into it.
Once home we had dinner and a pint of Guinness, well it is St Patrick's day after all.
Today, I got up and went straight out to do the horses before heading off to court, I walked this morning as my husband had to stay in for the gas people who are changing the gas meter over today. We again spent the whole of a lovely day inside a dull court room, having lunch in the same place again but this time with out Beth.
When I got home after the short walk from the court, there was a man under the stairs! not often you find one of them, and I don't mind telling you I don't want to find another one if this one is anything to go by!! He told me that he would not be able to reattach the gas through the new meter as we had in our house somewhere a gas leak, a small one but a leak none the less! Oh what joy how much was this going to cost, he said we had to get a gas plumber in to find and fix the leak. Fortunately my husband works with one, so while I went and rushed around doing the horses, he spoke to him and got him to come out.
By the time I had got home from the stables we had a now non leaking gas hob, and a gas supply again.
I was able to cook tonight's dinner which was North American Jambalaya,
followed by good old bread and butter pudding!
