I enjoyed Fanny’s thread but think I understand why she asked for it to be taken down. In the hope that we can start another and that GN don’t take this down - I’m just enjoying some lovely sunny, calm weather after the recent heavy rain and gales. Doing as little as I can get away with so I can enjoy the sunshine. What about you?

Hollysteres I hope you managed to sleep ok?
Wishing you the best.

Oh dear expensive crumbs!
Yes Callistemon, but I've had an idea. Most of the crumbs ended up on each other in a pile, so not on the floor (which of course was as clean as a new pin).
So I'm going to make Christmas pudding Ice Cream.
Another excuse to 'taste' the resultsgrin

Thankyou FannyCornforth

Glammananna hope you enjoyed your afternoon.

Henetha it's a relief to have the meals organised isnt it?

The sun is shining here and I have just changed my bed and put the washer on so the covers can dry in the sunshine.
Made my DGS a cuppa before I take him for his 2nd covid jab then treat him to a late brunch/early lunch.
Nothing else to do everything is cleaned and polished to an inch of its life so a lazy afternoon for me,enjoy the day ladies.x

No cooking today. I made enough stew yesterday to last three days. Yippee!
Trying to force myself off this computer and go out into the mild but cloudy day.
I've just ordered a heating pad for my back when the weather is cold. The sort you heat in a microwave.
Cheers everyone.

Namsnannyshock oh no!
Btw, I’ve just sent you a ridiculously over due pm blush

FannyCornforth Fri 08-Oct-21 03:20:50

Thinking of you Holly thanks
What a worrying time, I hope that you’re ok

Callistemon I’ve heard RB doing impersonations of famous singers, and also singing ‘as himself’, on ISIHAC, and he always brings the house down. He’s got an amazing voice!

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 sad

Does he sing? I didn't realise that Galaxy

Callistemon Thu 07-Oct-21 23:05:59

It came to the time to take it out of the oven, and I dropped it on the floor!
I've just spent 20 mins clearing it up. It's a pile of crumbs now.
Oh dear! Expensive crumbs!

hollysteers an anxious time for you waiting. I hope all is clear ?

hollysteers Thu 07-Oct-21 22:02:15

Settling down in front of the halogen heater (heating not turned on yet) after a shower, with tv and good book.
Fussing around today looking at music for run through tomorrow for Xmas entertainments, some new pieces.
I now have a date for mammogram and check up brought forward as a bit bothered by ‘sensations’ in left breast (had cancer and lumpectomies in both). Hopefully it’s just referred pain from my gammy shoulder, but it’s on my mind.
Goodnight all ?

I've been waiting for my Christmas cake to finish cooking. Enjoying the lovely smell drifting around the house.

Cup of tea and a plate of crumbs for me.
It does taste nice.grin

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

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

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...

Callistemon Thu 07-Oct-21 18:12:14

Done! Quite satisfying

nooooooooooooooo sad

Callistemon Thu 07-Oct-21 17:43:23

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.

JaneJudge Thu 07-Oct-21 17:39:10

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

DiscoGran Thu 07-Oct-21 17:35:45

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

Coolgran65 Thu 07-Oct-21 17:18:45

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.

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.

BlueSapphire Thu 07-Oct-21 16:29:05

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.

DanniRae Yes I do, and eat the cherry first !
