Your treat for today

I am expecting my first Great Grandchild on St Patrick’s Day- How amazing is that!

Ordering a take away.. well it is our 47th wedding anniversary.

Just eaten a family size bag of Maltesers.Result!

What a boost you all are: a real tonic in these unknown times! I have a CD on at the moment (really loud as not worrying anyone inside or outside the house, even attempting a blackbottom dance to the music from that era - no-one to witness my efforts !
This is my first message on Gransnet as have tried several times in the past without success, so maybe another first with a bit of luck. Best of luck to you all, Keep it up!

I’ve just ordered a bouquet of stocks, lilies and iris from our local coop! Along with the rest of the order that is.

Stay safe everyone

I've been home from work since last Thursday with the "normal flu" and have been in pj's ever since. Today, I'm feeling more human and have showered, dressed and made a smashing fresh fruit salad.

Just spending precious time with grandchildren before that is taken away from us. I live opposite WCML so may watch the trains go by later while having my walk no fears of meeting anyone stay safe everyone☺️

My treat for today is an expensive one so will have to scale back sharpish after this - I'm going to take out a subscription to the Oldie to cheer us up.

Feel the urge to knit something - v good way to relieve anxiety but would need to start from scratch - squares perhaps.

Fresh hot cross bun with coffee and a tidy up the house session. Strangely comforting. Great thread. Happy birthday Anoia!

Well I managed to weigh in at my SlimmingWorld group this morning and got my 3 stone loss award ! I’m so pleased with myself ? lol
Now I’ve been informed that all groups are now closed just glad I got there today .

That sounds the best idea but we live in the midlands

Was trying to reply to the person who was going for a walk on the beach!

I’m going to plant some seeds. Veg and salads. I’m thinking wartime....Dig for Victory. Also, I’m collecting recipes and patterns from my collection of 1930s and 40s Women’s magazines. I knew there was a reason to collect them.

My treat today is fresh salmon with veg,parsley sauce and wine.mmmmmmmmmmm.

I shall take a walk to deliver a jigsaw puzzle which apparently are in short supply. I hope to get one in exchange... maybe leave on doorstep as we are all in that vulnerable category. I miss my swims and bridge club ... have to have a purpose for a walk. I appreciate new laptop .... what would we do without wifi?

I was referring to the lady who was going for a walk on the beach!

Happy birthday Anoia x

G54, I use spray starch on my cotton shirts and tops, works really well.
Just come in from what will be my last visit to have my eyebrows waxed and any hairs on my face that shouldn't be there. Did a bit of shopping wearing a mask and gloves. Now home and intend to make that dress i was always going to do. Dentist tomorrow and a bike ride Thursday. Keep happy and safe everyone.

I’ve been pottering in the garden and really enjoyed it. It’s really mild at the moment and the sun keeps breaking through, which really lifts the spirits along with seeing all the new growth popping up and the birds busy nesting.
Happy birthday, Anoia ? and well done to you Biddysue - you must be very proud of your achievement.
I like your boots, GabriellaG54. I wish I could wear heels, but they’d cripple me after a while, I’m afraid.
Thank you for starting this thread Pantglas2. It seems as if lots of us are taking pleasure from simple things. ?

All my friends saying they are exercising, dieting, dyeing hair and using anti wrinkle cream to look younger in case there is any age selection process, then they might find themselves in younger category LOL some hope. Anyway all those things are morale booster ideas in case we get bored, but by the sounds of it most will be too busy gardening, painting and decorating, knitting and sewing and planning what to do when they escape.
Stay cool and carry on, let’s show em what we are made of.

I plan to pour a large G and T later and wish myself many happy returns!

Not locked up GG54? I thought you had said you were in your 80s!

Just back from a two hour walk along the coast in the glorious spring sun and breeze. Now about to heat up a couple of pasties for lunch.

witzend I LOVE rice pudding especially made with full cream unpasteurised milk. Yum yum

I have never in my life had chocolate that I rationed myself with. In fact I am extremely embarrassed to say that I demolished a couple of eggs before we came away that I had bought for the ACs?

Will have a walk along the seafront and think about how we spent St Patrick’s day last year. Happy St Patrick’s day

I did a bit of shopping this morning......with the emphasis on ‘a bit’. A jar of coffee, a loaf, which was the only one left, and cost me £1.70 and a chunk of Lancashire cheese. There were a few other things I wanted, but the cupboard was bare! I also bought some red wool to knit a sweater for my little GD in Oz, though I don’t know when she will get it. Posting it costs more than the cost of the wool!
Just heard that our U3A trip to Liverpool to see The King and I has been called off ? as have most of my other activities. Luckily I have plenty of books, jigsaws and wool to keep me occupied.
I will get out in the garden this afternoon, while the mild weather lasts. Plenty of things need tidying up. I may even clean the windows, if desperate enough to occupy myself!
Stay safe and warm, everyone.
