Good Morning Wednesday 10th July 2024

Good morning, I haven’t looked to see what the weather’s doing here in south Glos, I slept badly and fidgeted all night. I have no idea why 🙄
Yesterday I tidied my craft room, I haven’t done any painting etc for weeks, my mojo has evaporated so I had a good tidy up in the forlorn hope that it would reappear.
DH spent six hours inflating his ruddy kayak in the living room so neither the dog nor I could move (it’s 14’ long) , eventually the dog and I went out in the pouring rain to escape.
It’s his 75 year old man crisis purchase, I honestly have given up trying to work out his mind.
He’s used it twice, he has grand ambitions that are quite frankly scary - he’s never kayaked before in his life but thinks he knows it all because he reads about kayaking online 🫣. What can I do? 🤷🏼‍♀️
The ADCs can’t get through to him either.

Anyway, early dog walk today then I hope to spend the morning tidying up in the garden, my plants have been thoroughly battered by the wind and rain so need sorting out. I’m hoping that the washing will dry too.
I hope you all have a lovely day 🌹

Good morning from a grey Bristol. Not much rain forecast, though the temperatures are still below those desired!
I didn’t go to my outdoor taichi, but stayed in and did some sewing, also watched a zoom class on making a jersey top.
I made two lemon/date tea loaves for today and tomorrow, using the oven to have pizza for dinner.
The evening PCC meeting went well, with many productive discussions.
Today, after morning prayers, I have the complex coffee morning. In the afternoon, my reading group. We’re reading “the lamplighters” but Emma Stonex - a very intriguing story of three lighthouse keepers who all disappeared on the same shift in 1970s. No clue to the event. Worth a read.
Hope the weather holds as I have washing to dry!
Prayers for all in need. Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩

Good morning from s somerset, it might well be a nice dry day today

First project today is to dig up the last of my potatoes, I had a lot of charlottes from a sq m. I have also ordered a small amount of seed to sow next, a green manure, which I will chop and cover before it flowers. Also more blueberry picking, I will end up with at least 5kg in my freezer, a very worth-while crop as I use them daily, all year. I am very grateful to the bumble bees. It is very much give and take in my garden

I still need to get on with sewing but pottering is taking precedence as will be some outdoor exercise today. Another box to pack for ds, more wood carving equipment, I am absolutely delighted that he is so pleased to be learning such a lovely new hobby. I will still retain enough to dabble in this fine art myself

The potatoes have frozen very well, blanched and left to dry first. I will do more today, if I have excess after making rocket soup

Have a good day

Good morning Mick and all who follow from a dry-for-the-moment north 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿- the wet stuff is promised later.

Different wet stuff for Madeleine 🥂- happy birthday celebrations 🥳

Some sewing 🧵 alterations for me as I bought a gorgeous jacket from Klass sale but the pocket buttons draw attention to my embonpoint and my need for that disappeared decades ago…🫣. I shall reinstall them in the cuffs!

Off to see Horizon with the delicious Kevin Costner this evening after a pensioner’s special fish supper in Conwy - the only way I could persuade Mr PG to sit through 3 hrs of me lusting after another man…😂
