So, the Lodge has been empty for a week. We cleaned it and did all that changing towels and bedding stuff on the departure day to practice. I’ve been in every day this week and have single-handedly dealt with about a dozen of those spindly spiders. Today there were two more – (now no more…)
This afternoon I learned two really useful lessons. 1 – it’s no good deciding to make a lemon and poppy seed cake if there are no poppy seeds in the house; and 2 – going up to Leyburn for poppy seeds won’t work if you buy three other things and forget the poppy seeds. I got chatting in Milners (best shop) and lost the plot. (The cake did get made, albeit a bit late in the day).
Quiz night at the Black Sheep Brewery tonight. First Friday of the month, and really tough. The quiz at the Bolton Arms on Sunday nights is easier, but we never win.
