Left to my own devices today with Sue picking up Abi from Wakefield and also her friend Daniella for a sleep over, but first she had a Play Gym visit and shopping with them so I was left on my lonesome (play sad music).
3 Degrees appeared on my car this morning - I told them to get off so I could go birding.
I had a nosy around some of the 'good spots' around Brighouse with a visit to Lightcliffe.
Nice and sunny today, but it did not warm up until lunchtime ish.
I found a new (to me) sarnie shop on the Brighouse - Baliff Bridge road, bought a BIG ham salad and a bun and sat outside the shop , on chairs provided, eating it yum yum.
(The sandwich I'd brought with me I'd had left in the car and walked off - oops).
Scam:
As I was walking back from the sarnie shop a white van pulled up next to me and next to a house being done up.
The builder said " Hello - remember me - did you get your roof repaired? "
"What?" I replied.
" I was working on the roof next to your neighbour when you had a problem with your roof" said the builder.
"What? Where was that then?" I replied.
" You know where you B.... live - don't you"? said the builder.
"I do, yes, but I bet you don't" I said.
"Yes I do - you live at 12 ********* street" said the builder as he walked off.
