Another weekend.......



Bathroom before

Well its the weekend (again) and I really have to motivate myself to get the bathroom decorated. There is no excuse. I still have a couple of boxes to get sorted out from the move and I want these clearing out too, so as you can see I have high hopes (once again)  of doing huge amounts in Tykes Towers ( and I will probably spend 90% of it sleeping, with the other 10% cooking and eating!!).


However the pasting table is on the landing ( making it nigh on impossible for I Lady lainey to escape down the stairs, but worse........ to get to the coffee!) and so I should flipping well get on with hanging the super swish paper.

Super crickety news for the day is that Yorkshire are in action in Jo'berg against Highveld Lions. Come on boys, I know you are now on to have to win 2 out of 2, but we are all behind you and know that you can do it. #wayaw

On the sporty front  the Mighty White were in action last night again Sheffield Wednesday, and drew 1-1. However some terrible behaviour from a LUFC supporter ruined the game and the club issued a statement at the end of the match

Leeds United Football Club would like to publicly apologise for and condemn the actions of the fan who came on to the pitch at Hillsborough and attacked Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland.

The club will fully co-operate with both the Police and the football authorities in identifying the individual concerned.

After the week football has endured, there is no place for that type of behaviour and the majority of Leeds United fans will be ashamed of his actions.

I think that says it all really!.


The Blades are in action today against Preston, so #coyb

And Birmingham City ( temporary club of cousin  Rt Hon Hooligan Robbo) are playing Leicester City. Hopefully no 'elbowing in  the back when the Ref's not looking' from Hooligan. Robbo.

I have been sneaking about in the extensive grounds of Tykes Towers especially around the Deer Park just in case the flipping frog jumps out at me again. does anyone know of a humane way to get rid of frogs?  Not that I will be blinking well doing it I will get Mr Funky the chauffeur round to sort it out.


If anyone is in the Loftus, North Yorkshire area this weekend, there is an art exhibition, which includes paintings by Granddad Derek ( Monster children nephews granddad on the 'out laws' side). Well done Granddad Derek, not just a hippopotamus!!!!

It has been a terrible month so far   losing friends and lots of friends losing family. After the shock news yesterday of the loss of Bruce Ritchie ( truly a great cricket fan), Comtessa Cruse and the Hon Hodsman lost their father ( in law)  and also beloved friend Adele, an amazing lady and talented travel writer. Baron and Baroness Burphy lost their  mum ( in law). Such sad days, only lightened by the knowledge that they have all gone onto a better place.

Judging by the number of hits on yesterdays blog I would take this to show  that the wonderful Bruce was loved by a lot of people.His funeral is Friday 26th October at 11.30am. Request for donations to Cancer Research.
