Saturday 7th. Random Things From the Week

 More box packing has been done this week, and answering yet more questions from my buyers solicitors, questions I've already answered or don't know the answer to, it gets a bit annoying and I worry that the buyers will pull out over something.

I was out Monday to the solicitors for signing my will up date, in the same direction as going to the book sale last Saturday, roads that won't need travelling very often once I move.....if the move ever happens!

So 'mogging' is the word of the year says the Collins Dictionary, internet slang meaning 'Outshining, outclassing or dominating someone'. Never heard it and unlikely I will.

I had a much needed hair cut on Wednesday. 

The £1 roll of  'Heavy Duty' black sacks I got from the boot sale are not heavy duty as I discovered when I decided to fill one with  all the bedding from the two spare beds. They are also not very big so I need some proper large heavy duty bags for all the bedding, cushions etc....which I forgot to get when I went shopping - duh!

I picked up the Christmas food brochure from Aldi, some of the special buys look so delicious. There are two pages of veggie alternatives.

 Christmas music was playing in Asda already - oh dear.

Surprisingly no anons jumped on Wednesdays post, but there were some interesting comments on Thursday. One person  had investigated and apparently making a you tube vlog from a bath is a Thing. I didn't look at the one that was recommended and certainly not searching for more!

Friday's NYT Wordle was a weird one, luckily I got it in 6, only because I'd run out of letters to try but then had to look up what it meant - a slang word for trash it seems - another word I'm not likely to hear.

Nothing interesting happening around here this weekend as far as I know. 

Hope you have a good weekend, I'll be back Monday. 

St Peter, Bruisyard

 This church was difficult to find as it's tucked away along small lanes and the village, with a population of just 150 people, doesn't have a centre just groups of houses and farms dotted about.

The lovely lych-gate was built to celebrate George V

This is one of Suffolk's round tower churches and the tower is Norman

Just a small simple church, updated in Victorian times as usual.

A rood loft beam still in situ, although probably not original. With icons of St Clare and St Francis

The East window stained glass is 20th Century

The pulpit with sounding board

Lots of carving on the font which dates from C15 and shows some damage.

There is plenty to read on the reredos behind the altar

Lots of colourful stitched kneelers.

Something unusual is this South Transept built in the 17th century as a chapel for the Hare family....... 

..................but now used as a vestry.

I liked this chart in the porch of all the wildflowers found in the churchyard in 2024 following a survey by Suffolk Wildlife Trust.

Not What I Needed to See

 I was looking at Railway Rebecca's vlog of her beautiful knitting. I don't often wish I could knit but she does make some lovely things using gorgeous colours and she's so enthusiastic...especially about getting her things onto her new dresser!

Then over in the sidebar of  recommended vlogs was a well known blogger/vlogger making a vlog from her bath! "Chit chat from the bath"!

 Good grief, that was something I didn't need to see!
