A boring day thread

Farmgran, what ethnicity is kumara soup? It's actually a very common surname in Sierra Leone.

PS I imagine it was created by a chef called Kumara.

Put few dishes in dish washer, made bed, got washed and dressed, phoned dog kennels, ironed for 45 minutes, made tea and toast , now sitting messing on phone

So boring? But 3 weeks into retirement I'm absolutely loving it
I've waited so long for this

I`ve just found a bag behind the door, a collection of unwanted clothing for charity. So that`s a job for later.

hellogirl this sounds exciting! How did it get there? Why was it behind a door? What else might be lurking behind other doors? My heart is beating faster now, breath coming in short pants.

Hairdresser here shortly, so quickly knocked up a very basic chicken curry with the help of a sauce in a jar, and it’s in the slow cooker, so dinner sorted, as she’ll be here a few hours.
Must let my grey grow in, maybe after the holidays.
Ziggy enjoy that retirement!
I washed one load, and hung it out.
I’m about to change my top as I went out to the chemist earlier., don’t want to get colour in it.
Life is never boring it’s what you do with it.
Bit of knitting, crossword, online puzzles, cooking, gardening, always something I rarely get bored.
Loving retirement too.

Caleo, Kumara is the Maori name for sweet potato.
It makes really nice and quick soup when cooked with lots of garlic, vege stock n curry powder. I made it mainly cos my daughter who lives with me has a dreadful cold. She's much better today!

I filled the bird feeder and love watching the bluetits.
Had a peruse of MN which always manages to shock me a little in some way, but keeps me ‘down with the kids’😁 (if that is the right expression…)
Am using my post covid jab reaction to put off going to a folk club tonight or attempt any proper housework.

My favourite kind of boring day today - three hour train journey home from ‘duty visit’ to Sussex. Knitting and reading, no interruptions. The journey home always feels better than the outward one.

I'm still at my family's house, pet sitting. I'm passing the time having a coffee before walking into Oxford city centre. I shall then have a large latte and a bacon roll in John Lewis.
Next port of call is Bravissimo for a bra fitting. Hopefully, buy a new bra.
I'll look in White stuff and Seasalt, maybe buy a new summer top.
I return home tomorrow, all of sixteen miles away.

Thanks Farmgran.I put all that on a sticky note. My son who cooks will also be interested.

I smelled the dog's blanket and decided it will last another day.

Lixy, that is nice of you to do a duty visit. You deserve your relaxation on the train. Are you not allowed to knit and sew during the visit?

knit and read

Waiting for the plumber ..........

I smelled the dog's blanket and decided it will last another day.

I consider it a good result if his blanket lasts one day 😑

Had a plum and a hot cross bun for breakfast 😋 (well it is Easter), made the bed, slow walk round part of the village, sitting with cup of tea now listening to radio 2

Oh I love this boring retirement, might change the beds later, might not

Oh should have said "slow walk with the dog"

Went to Aquafit class then coffee afterwards. Might just slump for the rest of the day.

Having a boring 5 mins. The rest of the day is busy and interesting.

Waiting for the plumber ..........

He said between 10 and 11 am ......

Sorted the cat's toy basket.
Explained that I was giving some unloved ones to the poor pussies who didn't have toys of their own.

Shades of my mother here and my toys as a child.
😡

Just had a really really fascinating time. Took a boxful of bottles to the bottle bank and had to feed them one by one into an empty bin. Very satisfyingly noisy 😉

Taichinan, I assume the bag came through the letterbox! Filling the bag will be a sad job, because it will mostly be my daughter`s clothes, she who died in November. She would have said it was a boring job, lol!

I don't tuck in bedclothes any more.
