Stamp your foot down!

Vin went to the Post office down the road this morning to get his car tax, and also to get a lot of stamps at present prices. The thing is..stamps are going to rise in April by 14p on a second class stamp!!! diabolical..how they can get away with doing that is beyond me. it's a 39% increase on the price of a stamp. So he went down to get an absolute load of stamps which he keeps in a box upstairs then we buy them back! works for us anyway. If you buy your Christmas Card stamps now at 36p you will save 14p obn each one which is not to be sneezed at.
We stopped in today..i did all the ironing, and Vin has been out in the garden dealing with the weeds which are growing apace in this good weather we are having. can't believe this weather, very sunny, Bobby went out this morning though and came back in fairly quickly. Maybe it isn't as warm as it looks.
Little Rusty is presently out with Vin in the garden, he has just come in and said he has given her a good brushing, and I wouldn't believe the hair that had come off her.

She just likes being out there with him, and will follow him all over the place, little sweetie.
Enjoying reading my book on kindle still. i am now 91% the way through it. it's a bit strange reading a book on one of those, because you haven't got the physical book to look at to judge where you are up to. I guess I must be nearing the end..and you can't cheat either, which I don't ever do actually, but you can't with one of these.Love it though, and will be sorry when it is finished.
Tonight we are having:
pasta bake with a bit of garlic bread
Butternut squash to go with it
