Volunteers Are Awsome..........

 
SERVSC = Service by Emergency Response Volunteers Suffolk and Cambridgeshire - often called Bloodrunners. 
Hubby has been an active member for nearly 10 years and seven of those he was on the trustees committee and events manager. I'm very proud of what he does and what the whole charity does to save the NHS thousands of pounds every year. Last year was their tenth anniversary and they delayed any celebrating until they could do it face to face. Saturday was a bbq, with partners invited and it stayed dry and sunny. 

NeighbourS happened to mention that her daughter had brought home a big bag of onions from her allotment and nobody was using them so she might as well throw them away NOOOOOOO! NeighbourC and I made her get them and we shared the bag between us. I've just filled six little jars with caramelised onion chutney.  Yummy. I took a little jar to neighbourS as a thank you for the onions. 

Granddaughter E lives most of the time with her boyfriend in a house shared with others. A few of them tested positive for covid so they are all isolating and being very careful. Unfortunately E has also now tested positive even though she was quite unwell with covid last Christmas and suffered a bit after both first and second jabs and you would hope she'd built up a good amount of immunity she still managed to catch it again! 

Another lunch catchup, this time with friendLE and friendSG. Last get together was before Christmas 2019 so plenty to talk about. We went to our usual local pub but the food was not good, two of us had chicken escalope which were both burnt round the edges and the other chicken salad was pathetic and definitely overpriced. When S ordered the creme brulee they had run out of main ones and she agreed to have two mini ones instead, they were so mini she could hardly get a teaspoon in the dish. We will find somewhere else! 

Starting to have a major book sort out, mainly because a whole bookcase was ejected from the downstairs toilet and I've nowhere to relocate it, and should be easier now to donate to a charity shop. But first I think I will sort and take some photos to see if any of my friends or neighbours want them. This could take quite some time! 

Here the forecast is sunny Saturday but wet Sunday, hope that fits with your weekend plans. Stay safe of course.
