I submitted my h/c exchange story yesterday, so that's one thing ticked off the list. In part due to sperrywink who got me over my initial arggggh reaction and themoononastick who came through yet again beta wise.

We've cinema tickets at Durham for the coming Friday and also a slot to go to The Pawsome Cat cafe. That works out very nicely as Odeon is literally a few minutes walk from the cafe.

Re.F.use. has been refurbishing its kitchen so has been shut for a while, but yesterday was open for one day only in order to clean out stock. So we headed off there for opening and they had some great stuff. For example, lots of good quality chocolate and other goodies as well as the usual store cupboard products and fruit and veg. As we were first in the queue we picked Hotel Chocolate stuff as well as a catering pack of Starbucks beans and lots of other more everyday products. Not bad for £2 a bag.

I need to get out the slug pellets as the marigolds I planted have been stripped and only have stalks left. We always have snail problems but I thought it was too early for them yet, but it seems not.

Go you!! *waves celebratory pompoms*

Sounds like you're going to have an absolutely awesome Friday the coming week!

That sounds like a very tasty £2 bag!

Snails are evil! I'm forever grateful that they can't reach my balcony.

Thank you! Now hopefully I'll do it again at some point.

I'm really looking forward to Friday. Not just for us but for places like the cat cafes that can reopen and start to bring in some money again.

It was an excellent bag, and I'm glad we went as last night their FB announced that they were going back to being a cafe only. It's how it started before lockdown, making meals out of food that would have been thrown away otherwise, and then people pay as much as they want to eat, or even nothing if they have no money, paying by washing dishes etc instead. So it makes sense they were giving away all the high end stuff.

Snails are the worst. Thankfully no damage since as I got the pellets out but still, the poor marigolds.

Congrats getting your story in!! That's an excellent achievement. \o/

I hope you have a great day out. And yay for good chocolate!

Poor marigolds. Do you think they can recover, or was that it for these particular plants? I hope the pellets do their job meanwhile.

[shadowhive]

Oh yay!

What’re you going to see? And yay kitties!

Ohh nice

It feels good to have finished something.

We're going to see Nomadland, but suspect we'll also see Godzilla v Kong over the weekend :D

Thank you! It feels good to have submitted, hopefully, I'll join another challenge soon.

Thank you. I'm sure it'll be a good day, and I'm thrilled for the parts of the hospitality industry that can finally open and start to make money again.

I'm hoping the marigolds will come back as they still have the main stalk. I should have put the pellets down earlier but I really did think it was too cold for the snails.

[shadowhive]

Yeah of course!

I’ve not heard of nomadland, so hope it’s good! Same with Godzilla

My local cinema hasn’t got an opening time yet sadly

[sperrywink]

Yay for submission! I hope you found a title you liked.

And you're welcome, as always.

I hope the cinema was fun!

[turps]

Well, I got a title in the end but have to admit it took a while to talk myself out of using some lyrics from Burning Ring of Fire *g*

It was! I didn't realise just how much I'd missed it until we walked through the doors again.
