Do you have a day when everything happens one thing after another, even though it was pre-planned .
You wake up in the morning thinking how will I cope?
First we do our main weekly Tesco shop.
Then I go with my friend to the old age home visit.
Come home, make lunch. Some pre-prepared
Then young woman comes to clean our home. I have to clear up the pots etc previously.
She left @ 5pm.
I am absolutely kn......ckered.

I like your style, Urmstongran.

I am completely sloth like , according to the mountains of activities that some of you manage to get through.

If it can be bottled, I should like some of your, whatever it is, to get me going please.

My get up and go, went ages ago, and won't come back. ( like the boomerang) ?

Marydoll, you are a whirling dervish.

What can we older grans do to compensate for our decline?
Fennel Speak for yourself ! wink Get out more and find a Grandad with "Get up and Go!;" then yours might come back! grin

I think Fennel already has a partner but nice try.

We could try dragonfly - a thread for #lazygrans but some ‘busy’ bodies (hehe!) would try to hijack it .....

Marydoll Fri 07-Feb-20 11:32:29

Do you mean me? I am a busy body, as opposed to a busybody. ?
Then again I might be both! I ?

Thanks Marydoll. Do you every find the cross lines on top are chewy? Maybe I use too much flour? We have to spit them out, they're like paper.

That's right Greymar - we've been together now for 40 years as the old song goes.
He's younger than me, that's part of the problem - .I try to keep up with him. I tell him, " just you wait until you're 84"
Then he says "I hope I don't have to live that long!"
We've decided we're both going to go together.

ps @ Ellieanne - those buns look delicious.
When I have a burst of energy I make fruit buns. I've always got the ingredients in.

Marydoll Fri 07-Feb-20 13:24:28

Ellieanne, it's a hit and a miss. I have now given up on the crosses.
You are right, they are tasteless and I think spoil the buns. ?
