There seems to be a need for it!

Post here what you are doing, if your day is boring.

I, and some others, will still find it interesting.

Hellogirl phone AgeUK and ask them to help with filling in your form, my friend was turned down when she did it herself. But she mentioned it to the lady behind the counter whilst browsing round their charity shop. Someone came to her house and did it for her and she was accepted.

I've had the most wonderfully boring lazy day housesitting for DD. I took the dog for a short walk n fed the guinipigs some chopped carrot which they loved. I was taken to see a Daniel Craig movie and saw him in a totally different role to James Bond!

Eggs ready to colour.

Enormous mess, but they enjoy.

definitely a boring day today. Back was very bad so nothing planned completed apart from buying the local paper!! So have struggled to get some washing out and dried, but did get that done in the end. Read my paper, creaked around doing a very little housework and sat on my tall stool to manage to do the washing up. Thats about it folks, but I was at least able to really enjoy listening to The St Matthews Passion by J S Bach, which was wonderful . Really lovely to be on my own, so not a rattle nor a cough to disturb the music, and I sang one of the solo and several of the choral sections, having sung it many times in the past. Most cheering part of the day.

Well must continue my exciting day by making something to eat. Life is full of choices isnt it!!

Don’t you hate it when you open a packet if biscuits and they are so fresh they just crumble away?

Caleo Sat 19-Apr-25 08:42:52

I will wear my false teeth today

I wish it would rain properly here. Had light rain overnight. I shall need to water the garden if nature doesn't. smile

Yes, and also the chocolate that melts before your eyes!

(especially the sort that then reappears disguised as my hips)

Today is the day for planting the agapanthus so I’m hoping for a bit of rain later. I’m considering buying one of those umbrella hats for these showery days - just for use in the back garden.

Caleo Sat 19-Apr-25 10:13:00

Hollysteers, how does one open a packet of biscuits ?

Aveline Sat 19-Apr-25 10:13:48

I'm going for one of my usual comedy hairdos today. I always come back with a horizontal looking head of polyester hair. I don't know how she does it. I've been going to her for years and can't really believe anybody could be any better. At least it always gives the family a laugh

Did I tell you about my dream about the stray parrot in Safeway's ?

Yes.

Now I've had a dream about a stray gosling.

The person I was with, could have been a grandchild, put it in their cardigan pocket (not that my DGC would ever wear a cardigan with pockets!) then the rest of the dream was spent worrying about what to feed this stray gosling where to keep it, birdcage or box with straw, and whether it would survive.

Allira Sat 19-Apr-25 10:23:31

Oh no, I've just remembered:

Friday night's dream,
On the Saturday told,
Is sure to come true,
Be it never so old.

😯

I can understand that horizontal hair would be a nuisance at the cinema.

Sorry, disqualified. Much too interesting and enjoyable.
Daniel Craig and Guinea pigs - what’s not to like?
