Well BUSY is a word I haven’t used for a long time. I had almost forgotten the palaver I have to go through to learn stories. I am doing some stories for the next two afternoons online and then in person actually in a school on Friday morning. Apart from the story I finished writing this morning for a Y1 class tomorrow all the other stories are ones I have told before. Even so I have forgotten much. I found talking to people we are all forgetting things since we endured lock down. I am worried that my vocabulary has diminished over this last year. So it is good to start having a bit of cut and thrust again! My blogs might be a little sporadic over the next couple of days! especially as I have Book Club on Wednesday night and I am question master for a quiz on Thursday night! See what I mean it like buses nothing happens and ……………….!

I did a marvellous ride yesterday and was actually wearing shorts again! Unlikely to be able to ride much more this week with the awful weather forecast!

Both Blackcaps are still active in our garden!
