How are you and what are you doing today?

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.

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!!

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 ?

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

Tesco delivery coming shortly - did I order ?

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'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.

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

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

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

I've been deep cleaning my kitchen

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.

Another positive thread. Great. I suppose it's a continuation of the daily good morning one which is very friendly. My day so far has been spent revelling on yesterday's successes. Two lovely eating out sessions and a couple of perchance purchases which absolutely made my day. Eating out twice in the one day is not my idea of good planning but my son can only offer last minute slots in his busy schedule and I never say no to that. Wonderful when it happens. I do small portions at both and offend nobody. Today is grey but surprisingly mild here up north. Ground is a little bit heavy but I really must try to get the last of my bulbs in. Hopefully report success tomorrow! Keep having fun everyone.

I'm having a cup of tea and the last piece of a cake I made on Sunday. This morning I tidied the garden and cut some pyracantha ...very carefully. Gosh those thorns are sharp. I've done two lots of washing and it's drying outside. Fairly quiet after a full day of minding gc yesterday.

I'm sitting in a hospital waiting room. My friend, who has dementia needs an xRay. I usually accompany her to any appointments. Yesterday it was to the GP surgery for a blood test. Having me with her takes the pressure off her.

I've just forced myself to get up off the sofa and go for a 45 minute walk. I am now eating fruit and yoghurt and feeling very virtuous ?

Should be starting on my exam marking but am in the park with DGS instead. Looks a bit grey overhead.

Nice thread by the way.

The expression "herding cats" always makes me smile, as I have never had any bother doing so - my cats come when called, irrepective of whether I got them as kittens or as fully adult rescue cats.

I washed up, go the recycling bin ready for tomorrow's collection and out onto the pavement, emptied the household and compost bins too and washed them.

Then I did two loads of washing and walked up to the nearest shop of a packet of cooking salt.

Now I am reading Gransnet (you'd never have guessed, would you?.)

Going to finish a doll's dress before the light goes - it is dark green so I can't see to sew it decently in artifiical light.

I am collecting my Grandson from School out of the area I live. I got here early,so I am in a lovely little restaurant, having lunch and coffee. Bliss.

Good luck GG13!
I’m back after a long walk with my book club friend.
And I’ve just written out a Diamond Wedding anniversary card for friends who live on the beautiful Fylde coast. I’ve never sent anyone one of these before!

I'm home exhausted after a two-hour gruelling expedition around Westfield shopping mall!

I'm a very unenthusiastic shopper, as is my best friend, but sometimes needs must.

I bought two pairs of Skechers and trainer socks - nothing else took my fancy. My friend bought boots and a coat, then we were out of there

You're either a shopper or not!

Me too, I hope it was okay.
I’ve been to local gardens with my youngest granddaughter, lots of water for her to play in, luckily not too cold today.
Now already, I’m beginning to prepare for my very long school run.
Thank goodness it’s only twice a week!

Hope you appointment goes OK GG. I'm the same, a visit to the dentist is always a white knuckle ride for me.

Waiting in dentist car park, for a hygienist appointment.

(I am really phobic about all things dentistry related, so not particularly happy )

Ailidh I had my flu jag on Saturday and felt a bit off that evening and next day. Never had that before with flu jag. Ok now though. Mum was same - before she was boasting about never being up nor down! She had covid booster too though.
