Sunday has come round with its usual reliability and I have just checked back on the week’s output. I’m not impressed. I have become irregular and have been using Julia’s photographs to cover up my deficiencies.
If you’re paying attention you might have noticed I’ve done it again with today’s pictures of a bear in the garden.
We had a reasonable weekend, with a massive queue on the A1, roadworks on the Cambridge road (it feels like there have been roadworks on the Cambridge road all my life), and then more roadworks…
During all that time, including on hour queued on the A1, we didn’t see a single man working. They just set up the roadworks, put up the speed limit signs and then abandon them, regardless of the disruption it causes to everyone else. It’s a bit like being a politician – you make a mess, you walk away. At no time do you have to consider your fellow man.
We were well on target to arrive in Stowmarket when we hit the first set of roadworks (I was using the satnav to keep track of the time) and we eventually arrived an hour and a half late.
It was a good party, but I won’t say what it was for, as my sister-in-law isn’t happy about reaching 50.
Later, at the hotel, we found they had laid on a group of swearing drunks for us outside the main door, all smoking whilst wearing smeared makeup and the remains of their wedding finery. It was very kind of them, and didn’t cost extra, but it’s not really my sort of thing.
I’ll leave details of breakfast for later.
Bear with seed packet from Kew
I like the bear shots…reminds me of taking Paddington on a journey and making a book for the grandson. It’s fun.
It is fun. The group enjoy having him round.

Love those bear shots Made me smile. As for those that were partying…most of us have been there at one point or another. 😉
I love that line, “It’s a bit like being a politician – you make a mess, you walk away. At no time do you have to consider your fellow man.”. Right on, Quercus!
I’m getting quite cynical as I get older.
I am glad that the traffic jams didn’t dent your sense of humour. 50? Just a child.
That’s what I said – she’s not even grey yet.
A very funny post. The bear shots are delightful and your reaction to the drunken party hilarious.
Thank you. One of Julia’s areas of special interest is soft toys in garden situations. Sadly this is not an area that attracts major funding, but it keeps us amused. 🙂

Cute bear. I’m 4 years off being 50.
Child! Make the most of it while you can. 🙂
I will. ☺💜⚘🌹
Bear sniffing the pansies – lol.
