How are you and what are you doing today?

Funny you should say that Kim19 as it’s quite a nice day compared to recently where I am, so I’ve been planting bulbs, and just finished putting in some lovely pansies for the pot by the front door, they cheer me up in the winter.

I've been deep cleaning my kitchen

Thank you GermanShepherds Mum
Nice to see that you’ve broken your thread duck?

Commiserations Jane, I’m sure that it will be worth it.
Have you looked behind the fridge yet?

No! I have only done half of it. I have packed in for today.....why is such hard work making your house clean?

I'm 59 This morning I was busy faffing about with my desktop pc which I rarely use now. Updating, deleting stuff etc. This afternoon I've cleared away the rest of the tomato plants and put on the compost. I noticed one large and two small frogs in our very small pond then I saw something jump in the long grass wildlife area, small yellowish frog and then a big yellowish one. Going to be over run with them soon.

I'm tired out now and my hands are really hurting (the olf Fibro and arthritis combo) so it's inside for a cup of tea and meds. Turned out warm and sunny.

Oooohh, Galaxy, I love Rob Brydon and have seen him quite a few times! One memorable time we took DH's brother and his wife who were not getting on terribly well. Rob did a sketch about going to marriage guidance which DH and I found really funny. His brother did not!

I've been sorting and throwing out paperwork but now the shredder has broken.

Tesco delivery coming shortly - did I order ?

Didn’t sleep well last night so just woken up from a little snooze . DH brought me a cup of tea and a mini Battenburg. What more could you want ?

Oh BBbevan I love Battenburg cakes. I'll treat myself to some when I go shopping tomorrow. Do you like Bakewell Tarts too? I do!!

I took my car along earlier to have it hand-washed as the bonnet and roof were splashed with bird poo!
Coming home a light warning of ‘low air suspension’ has come on. According to Mr Google, it’s still driveable and might be caused by water ingress in the rear fuse box (quoting here of course, as I haven’t got a clue).
Wonder if it’s too obvious that the car wash has caused it?
Due a service and MOT next month, but not sure I can leave it that long.

DanniRae Yes I do, and eat the cherry first !

Feeling fine; just walked back from my ballet class, the first time back since before lockdown last year! It was a good workout, followed by a brisk half hour walk home, so lots of exercise today. And it was so nice to see familiar faces again. After the class I had a coffee at a local cafe; sat outside and watched the world go by.

Shall pour myself a small sherry at about 6pm, and will be having a wine with dinner - I know how to live! Then an evening of knitting and watching tv, lots on tonight.

I feel as though I have wasted s whole afternoon trying to get through to British Gas who have cancelled my service appointment again. Booked a lunch out to cheer myself up.

Back from dentist at 3.30. A small filling didn’t even need any anaesthesia. Dh and I did a visit to his sister who lives locally. We took cake but a two finger kitkat for me as I’m counting calories (110 calories).

Will watch the chase and then think about making dinner.

Finished work for the week, made macaroni cheese with onions and smoked bacon for tea, feet up and cuppa for now. ?

my youngest came in from school and asked if I was cleaning the house so I could put up the Christmas tree

Trying to finish a crochet blanket this afternoon and realised I've done it wrong and need to RIP it back quite a way!

I'll leave it now until after dinner.

nooooooooooooooo

He was brilliant the last time we saw him kitty, about 12 years ago, but and this will teach me to read things properly, we have only just realised that it is a night of song with a band, I had thought I was going to stand up comedy which is slightly different

rip not RIP!

Done! Quite satisfying

galaxy I think this tour is both. You will have a great time!

My PCR test is negative! Still feeling rough, but relieved too.

Commiserations to all who haven’t had the best of days. Jane, I was cleaning my kitchen last week ahead of guests arriving for the weekend and I have no idea how two adults and one dog can cause such chaos. I’m still recovering. However I have tied up some plants again (my cheap Amazon twine broke in the gales) and caught up with some long overdue correspondence and dinner is almost ready. A lazy one I’m afraid, chicken Kievs from the butcher, new (allegedly) potatoes from Suffolk and green beans from Kenya. I’m appalled at the air miles but my ‘green’ son tells me I’m supporting the global economy. Plus peppercorn sauce from a packet. I will retire in utter disgrace and bid you all a good evening...

Blossoming

My PCR test is negative! Still feeling rough, but relieved too.

That’s excellent! Hope that you feel better soon B x
