Spent the day at youngest daughter’s Putting her garden back in order Pruning and weeding And tidying the border I was really most industrious With many a chop and snip Then I bagged up all the rubbish And took it to the tip (Knackered now)

Just me and Mrs B today ‘Twas absolutely sound A spot of shopping in the morning Then spent the p.m. tatting round

This morning Mrs B said “Let’s go and price up a new kitchen!” And that’s why, all afternoon My right eyelid has been twitching

Ain’t been very busy Ain’t had that much to do But even so, it feels That this week’s absolutely flew It seemed to go from Monday To Friday in a flicker (But I’ll bet that the weekend Will go by even quicker)

Didn’t fancy staying indoors this morning So instead I spent an hour or two Tidying the shed

The sky was fairly blue today With something yellowish and round Everything felt kind of warm With shadows on the ground I think I have experienced This kind of thing before And if it’s at all possible I’d like to have some more

Today’s been unremarkable In every kind of way But all in all I’d have to say We’ve had a decent day

This evening I cooked Spaghetti for our tea There was just the two of us (That’s me and Mrs B) I tried to get the portions right But once again, I’ve made Enough for both of us Plus a whole brigade

Alarm clock’s on Half-term is done In the morning - grandkids School run

Just watched the rugby And try as I might I can only conclude That England were shite For the rest of the evening My course of action’s clear I’m going to sit quiet And console myself with beer

We gave our bank account a bending When we went to town today But we are not downhearted We’re feeling no dismay The reason’s very simple Why we’re feeling quite ok It’s because we paid the balance On our holiday in May

Mrs B and I decided For a pub lunch we should go But somehow finished up with Most of the family in tow Instead of the quiet tete-a-tete We had planned We had much more busy time But still absolutely grand (And much more expensive!)

Yesterday was lovely But today, oh deary dear I spent the afternoon Traipsing round IKEA But I didn’t do no moaning Kept a smile upon my face Even though it’s absolutely Not my favourite place (I’m a brave little soldier ain’t I?)

We popped into Birmingham This morning, on the train Mooched round the market, had some lunch Then came back home again We did nothing remarkable Fabulous or clever But we had a lovely day Just mooching round togevver

To the gym this morning Where I gave it all I could Now I’m feeling pretty tingly (But also pretty good)

This evening we are feeling Quite relaxed and calm Got no grandkids in the morning So we’ve switched off the alarm

Watched the rugby this afternoon Now my evening’s course is clear I’m going to sit here quite quiet And immerse myself in beer

It rained again, all morning Then to make our lives complete It rained again all afternoon Only this time, mixed with sleet #HappyDays

Took Mrs B for lunch today A proper, full-on carvery No messing round at all No doing things by halvery

I ain’t watched the Olympics much today I really must admit I’m afraid that I am getting A bit fed up with it I can’t seem to raise the interest And if I may make so bold I’d say Winter Olympics Now just leaves me cold

A swimming sesh this morning And I struck out in some style And managed a PB - Three quarters of a mile

What’s the matter hun? You’ve hardly touched your…

I popped down to the tip Earlier today And passed my favourite graffiti On the way

Today I have been lazy Unto the Nth degree I’ve been watching the Olympics All day on the T.V. The day’s not been completely wasted though I’ve learned a lot - in short I’m now a complete expert In every winter sport

Spent the afternoon Watching rugby, steady boozing Spending the evening Feet up, gently snoozing

Mrs B and I are out again With our mates, for some grub It’s a little Thai kitchen In the back room of a pub It’s tucked away quite cosy It’s a tiny little space But the food is bloody lovely It’s our new favourite place

6 Nations on a Thursday! I’m confused in many ways Already I’m in weekend mode Muddling up my days I’m really not against it That can’t be overstated But I know that for the next few days I’ll be discombobulated

Waiting in for a bloke To get daughter’s washer fixed Meant our morning’s plans Got absolutely nixed Still saw aged relation though That was rather nice No jobs, just tea and cake (Just a little slice)

Youngest daughter rang “Dad, I need some help, I think Our washing machine Seems to be on the blink” I popped round this morning, As promised And I looked And said “It appears to me That it’s definitely fucked” (Pump’s gone)

This afternoon, my meeting Was cancelled unexpectedly So I had a few hours spare Which was completely fine by me

We’ve got a fair bit going on next week So today’s been pretty steady Some tidying and tatting And getting ourselves ready (Grandkids and aged relation Some meetings and some stuff Lots of bits and pieces But nothing really tough)

We’re out again this evening Are Mrs B and me Off out to Brum For our Anni-versa-ree Travel passes at the ready And a bit of spare old cash We’ll do our very best To make a little splash* *A few drinks and a meal, probly

Me and Mrs B have had A pretty decent day Don’t fancy doing a rhyme though Because I C.B.A

It’s time for me to write This evening’s rhyme, I feel Cos in a little while Were going out for a meal We’ve dressed up smart I’ve loaded my pockets full of dosh Cos where we’re going’s quite expensive (You could say it’s almost posh!)

I haven’t done much work today Certainly no grafting Grandson’s still not fit for school So we’ve done a lot of crafting

Went to the gym this morning To improve my helf While I was out, grandson Watched ‘Minecraft Movie’ by himself When I returned, it had ended And although I’d raised a sweat All that I could smell Was a faint tinge of regret

Grandson was off school today He’s still got loads of spots So we watched ‘A Minecraft Movie’ (Which I liked lots and lots!) If he’s still got spots tomorrow He’ll stay at ours, when If I play my cards right We can watch it once again

Made Sunday Lunch For aged relation (I just helped With preparation)

Here’s today’s Unvarnished facts We are both Chilled to the max Some jobs and tidying And such But pressure? Not so very much A bit of shopping Got tea ready That’s our day, Been really steady

Today’s news All morning At the school Doing interviews All went well Weren’t disappointed Had some good ‘uns And appointed

All day today it has been Very dark and very miserable Very dreary, very damp And very bloody drizzleable I have to say, the gloominess Makes me feel quite shitey I can’t wait until the weather Gets a bit more brighty

Grandson’s turn for Chicken Pox He really isn’t well So I went and bought a bottle - Of Calamine (XL)

This morning we went swimming Haven’t been for quite a while So I eased myself in gently With a steady half a mile

Today I have been grown-up No acting of the fool I went and did some governor stuff Down at grandkids’ school If I puts my mind to it And if I really tries I can do a good impression Of being sensible and wise

Popped round to see our mates Just meant to stay a minute But it’s rude to say no When they offer beers innit?

Today, I’m pleased to say Has been absolutely grand I spent the day watching rugby Exactly as was planned

Today I have been busy A proper little bee Done everything (and more) On the list compiled for me So the weekend now is mine I am completely free To lounge around and drink some beer With rugby on T.V

Mrs B has friends round on Thursdays For crafting, drinks and chat I tend to leave ‘em to it Watch some sport, and read and that #CraftyThursdays

I assembled some flat packing ‘Helped’ by four-year-old granddaughter* A simple little job That took far longer than it oughter The time it should have taken Was multiplied by about 4 Although if I’m being honest The ‘help’ made me enjoy it more *getting over chicken pox

Another quiet day today There ain’t been that much to it So when it’s time to write a rhyme Don’t think I wanna do it
