Saturday & Sunday's 75th Annual Basingstoke & District Caged Bird show was exhausting to both Paula & I, but well worth helping out
It was a busy week made even busier & busier...we survived. And enjoyed it!
We helped number the benches, having helped put them up, carry & place arriving birds, sweep the floor of spilt seed, help Harry & Sue supply a judge with budgies. And sat assisting Sue on the Tombola. My Dad bought Rhys and Myles to see all the birds. And the final thing was clear up, in reverse. We had a lovely vegetarian meal too! Followed by delicious Apple pie & custard.
Great fun for the two of us! Thank you to all involved ! (pictures on my site www.flickr.com/photos/colinbp

Football we managed to see Liverpool - brillient match in Europe, followed by Saturday's noon match with a 0-2 smash and grab by Bolton Wanderers. And heard of City's late equalizer and Joey's cheeky gesture to provoking Everton fans! Not sure what Basingstoke Town did???

Monday was spent at the Shaw Trust garden Project (Horticulture).
And Wednesday I was shopping while Paula did a Shaw Trust Creative Writing course in Tadley,Hampshire.

Today was a paperwork/computer one with two men from "Mitie" coming to fix the bedroom door hinges. Great job done!

Friday is a volunteer day and Saturday will maybe see Rhys our nephew come over to see the birds and use the computer photo package.

Sunday's a day of Rest!
