my bright side of the moon

  I can't believe we've come to the end of May! I can count the nice days we have this month with one hand. At the beginning of this week it rained solidly for three days which nearly made everyone went mad with boredom and despair. I thought we were going to have a flood as the water in the river went very high -- thank goodness we got away with it. Anyway, this morning was bright and sunny so we took the opportunity to enjoy it by going to the seaside. We went to Sheringham and had a good time.   Clear blue sky in Sheringham  Even Mr Einstein enjoys a cup of tea in Sheringham Unfortunately, the nice weather didn't last long as by afternoon it turned grey and cloudy. At least, we enjoyed our morning in the sun.           

Finn and I go to Salthouse almost every weekend. During the week we gather left over bread and crust, put them together in a bag then we drive to Salthouse to feed the ducks. Finn will never like the idea of it and when I announce "C'mon, it's time to go to feed the ducks." he will give a good groan as if I sent him to prison. But once we are there he simply loves it. We always say we feed the ducks but as a matter of fact there are all sorts of fowl there. There are swans (last week we discovered a new member of the pond - a very beautiful black swan which Finn didn't think it was a swan), geese, moorhens, seagulls etc. There was once an old horse lived in the field by the pond too and we used to give him some crunchy carrots but he has gone now. We weren't sure whether he was drown in the bad flood and storm that hit North Norfolk coast a few months ago or he was rescued and now lives elsewhere. Oh well, life in the pond goes on without the old horse tho...

Woke up this morning and felt that today was going to be a better day. The sun was out, the sky was blue and from the field beyond I could hear a cuckoo! It''s been raining for five days and plants seem to love it! But I love it more when the sun is out. My pansies look very happy this morning My vegetable patch is doing well

If you live in England you have to be overweight. Oops, sorry I was to say you have to put on weight. Look at this lovely scone and think who could resist that. I know I couldn't. I also know that I could eat ten of these in one go.  Cream tea: Devon scone with clotted cream and jam accompanies with a nice cup of tea

For me, ironing is a boring task that has to be done. I try to make this task is less boring by watching one of my favourite films on DVD or a film I want to watch that I picked up cheaply from charity shop. It is almost like to kill two birds with one stone - I get the job done and I am entertained. This week it was The remains of the day's turn. รีดผ้าเป็นงานบ้านที่น่าเบื่อซึ่งถึงอย่างไรก็ต้องทำ ฉันทำให้ภารกิจนี้น่าเบื่อน้อยลงด้วยการดูดีวีดีภาพยนต์เรื่องโปรด หรือไม่อีกทีก็ดีวีดีภาพยนต์มือสองซึ่งคิดว่าน่าดูที่ซื้อหามาถูกๆจากร้านขายของการกุศล มันเหมือนกับกระสุนนัดเดียวยิงนกได้สองตัว เพราะนอกจากงานรีดผ้าจะสำเร็จลุล่่วงแล้วยังได้ความรื่นรมย์อีกด้วย หนนี้เป็นคราวของภาพยนต์เรื่อง The remains of the day The remains of the day is the story of a dedicated English butler named Mr Stevens who would not let anything interfere with his professionalism. Not even when he falls in love with Miss Kenton the high-spirited housekeeper, still he would not let his person...

I don't normally like to complain about the weather as I don't see the point, we can't do anything to change it anyway, but this time I will have to moan a little that it's been raining here, everyday for five days now. It hailed yesterday which made me cross to think what it would do to my young plants. Luckily, they seemed to withstand the hail.  ฉันไม่ได้เป็นคนที่ชอบบ่นเรื่องดินฟ้าอากาศเพราะไม่เห็นว่ามันจะเกิดประโยชน์อะไรขึ้นมา แต่หนนี้เห็นจะต้องคร่ำครวญเสียหน่อยว่าฝนตกทุกวันมาห้าวันแล้ว เมื่อวานนี้ลูกเห็บลงด้วย ฉันอดไม่พอใจกับดินฟ้าอากาศเพราะมันไม่เป็นผลดีต่อไม้ดอกที่เพิ่งเพาะไว้ โชคดีที่มันไม่เป็นอะไร Looked out of the window this morning and this was that I saw -- grey sky and wet earth. I'm hoping that we might have a little bit of sunshine during the day -- just to cheer me up. มองออกจากหน้าต่างเมื่อเช้านี้ก็เห็นท้องฟ้าสีเทาและโลกที่เปียกชุ่มไปด้วยน้ำฝน ได้แต่หวังว่าวันนี้จะได้เห็นแสงอาทิตย์สักหน่อยให้รู้สึกชื่นใจขึ้นมาบ้าง

It's a wet, cold and miserable day. We can't really do much on a day like this. Let's have a look at some of Finn's drawings. He drew them when he was six. I am still very fond of them. วันฝนตกอย่างนี้ไม่อยากจะออกไปไหนหรือทำอะไรเลยนะ มาดูภาพวาดที่ฟินน์วาดไว้ตั้งแต่อายุหกขวบกันดีกว่า                 Happy rainy day!
