What I did today.

bit lazy today really, went to acquacise and had good catch up with couple ladies, then pottered round OH cooked lovely tea steak, fried onions, new pots. mushrooms yummy!!

Just paid his fee online so he is working another year just the one day!!

did not go out this afternoon pondered about it but wait til tom!!
still feeling body clock out gear after hol.

I took delivery of a parcel this afternoon, hoping it was grandson`s C word present from Amazon, it was from Amazon alright, but was hubby`s C word present, and he was sitting right there. He`ll guess it`s for him, because if it was for anyone else I`d show it to him. Another 15 minutes and he`d have been upstairs out of the way!

That is good news. You can watch Downton Abbey on Sunday and Homeland on your computer on Monday, or vice versa.
Don't know too much about cable, I don't think we have it in our part of the world.
Anyhow you have sky already, probably all you need.
Happy Catch up.

Thanks, johanna!

Went to visit dd and DGD. They were having their 'sling meeting' which I was invited to join! I'd taken up a beanie I'd crocheted for DGD but dd decided she wanted it a bit longer?
So there I was, crocheting a couple of extra rows on when hordes of earth mothers with babies in slings arrived!
Dd introduced me, then said , 'it was scary to see me sitting looking like a trad grannie!'
The next thing I know - I'm inundated by demands to knit hats!

Hang on here!

I DONT DO DOMESTIC!

Why have I agreed to crochet some hats and give them to dd to hand out? And all for free?

I suspect I have early dementia!

HELP!
HELP!
HELP!

Well that will keep you out of trouble

Night jeni

everyone!

I snoozed through a vital part of a play put on by a local am dram company. The acting was up to their usual high standard but the play - well - an interesting idea but not very well realised.

anno - just hope you didn't snore.

We went, with friends, to see a really tedious play a while ago calling at the pub on the way. All went well until the main character was droning on in a depressed(well, depressing!!) manner and a man in front of us went to sleep and started snoring. Of course, we all got the giggles, which enlivened the play no end, but quite upset the leading man

kitty I love it when that sort of thing happens!

kitty, I was assured by the friends on either side that I didn't snore - I hope they weren't just being polite!

(Hasn't it got cold? )We have been up in Birmingham at a concert at Symphony Hall last night, the Leipzig Gewandhaus orchestra playing Shostakovich's 2nd cello concerto and a Rachmaninov symphony. It was glorious!! (Present from DD and SIL to DH for his birthday in September) Saw the boys for teatime and bathtime and again this morning as we stayed (obviously) Given that DH doesn't get out as much as we would like, it was a lovely lovely evening and a welcome dose of "normality"!! AND I didn't nod off (or snore when "resting my eyes" as my grandpa used to say)

It is sleeting up north today, I bet this is the edge of the Scottish snow clouds.

It's cold wet and windy here!

Lovely here! Temperature below six degrees but sunny. Been outside working for a while.

Had planned to drive up to Scotland this weekend - but arthriticky wrist/hand allied to long driving put me off and now I have seen what the weather is like, glad chickened out.

Erm... I'm in Scotland. Beautiful weather.

Did you mean the weather on the way?

Bags Please don't overdo things. We want you to keep well.
It is a marvellous day here in Kintyre. Almost a cloudless sky. Wonderful warm autumnal colours. Crisp dry cold.

I think I meant "on the way" - we would have gone at the weekend and I understood from Countryfile that it was getting colder and with the clocks going back, it would also be darker sooner making driving just that bit more tiring! But heigh-ho, Scottish weather can often be the opposite of what we are getting down here! [umbrella] emoticon?

gracesmum...we certainly get our fair share of sunny days. Yesterday's trip to Oban was a real treat. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful.

Well it has been bitterly cold here today and we now have a good covering of snow.

Yesterday we took DD3 for a meal and to the theatre, a rare treat to have her to ourselves unencumbered as it were!

We saw 'One Man, Two Guvnors' and, despite having seen it before, we laughed all night.
