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.

I gave up trying to make my hair horizontal.

Allira Sat 19-Apr-25 10:39:08

I spend 20 minutes every morning stopping mine from being horizontal.

Mollygo Sat 19-Apr-25 11:05:06

One sided horizontal hair is my problem.

Millie22 Sat 19-Apr-25 11:31:09

Another day without hot water or heating. This is day 5.

Oh joy ☹️

I've just listened to a pod cast about dogs. Story set in Nice (France) lots of sniffing under tails. Actually turned into a very sweet story..
Now sitting contemplating cutting the grass as rain hasn't obliged. Only contemplating, you understand!

Did you know there is a shortage of canned Pilchards? We import 60% of ours from Morocco and there has been a lack of them to fish.

Aveline Sat 19-Apr-25 11:45:30

Oh no. There goes my pilchard surprise recipe!

Caleo Sat 19-Apr-25 12:17:13

I mean, my head has a horizontal bit on the top.

Aldom Sat 19-Apr-25 12:25:40

Still contemplating the grass, but first, must go to the shops for food for the weekend.

Caleo

I will wear my false teeth today

On your Easter bonnet?

Made DP an omelette for brekkie, a rare occurrence.Hung some washing out in the yard and chased off a neighbour’s cat that was hanging about under the bird feeders.
That’s it.

Allira Sat 19-Apr-25 13:40:10

Been to the Garden Centre. Bought seeds and plants.
Do I need to start a different thread?

Is that because sardines have been over-fished?

You’re lucky to have enough hair to comment on! Mine is so fine and pathetic, I almost wish I belonged to a religion that needs me to keep my head covered. (Aside….I suddenly wondered if I have upset anyone of one of those religions. Hope not, but you just can’t make any comments these days without someone having a hissy fit. I would never deliberately upset anyone).
I have always had trouble with my hair, even though I go to the salon every five days! If I didn’t I would be in a sorry state.

I bought an Easter egg for my son which I was going to take to him. He has come down with some horrible infection so will stay away.
I have sent him a different egg and will now have to eat his original egg myself.
Life can be so tough at times 😄

Am back from the hairdresser's and look like a startled spaniel. Very odd horizontal ringlets. One good thing is that every time DH looks at me he bursts out laughing which takes his mind off his bad back.

Aldom Sat 19-Apr-25 15:02:19

Aveline perhaps you could send a photo. My back is hurting, no idea why, so if I saw your hair it would take my mind off my back. grin

Crossstitchfan - a Catholic Nun? When I had a bout of Alopaecia, I wished that too 😂

Aldom Sat 19-Apr-25 15:04:57

Still contemplating the grass here! But have cleaned the patio. While I was away the birds left lots of hints re why I wasn't feeding them!
I've been shopping too.

Grandmabatty Sat 19-Apr-25 15:30:20

I have washed the floors and therefore cannot move from my couch until they are dry. It could be hours...

Aveline Sat 19-Apr-25 15:33:00

Aldom alas too late for a pic. I have already applied the clamps to get it all safely back down.

J52 Sat 19-Apr-25 15:44:05

Been on a 300 mile car journey, I slept for a lot of it. DH was driving.

RosieandherMaw Sat 19-Apr-25 15:53:19

Aveline

Oh no. There goes my pilchard surprise recipe!

Make it with corned beef- now that would be a surprise!

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 19-Apr-25 16:01:06

🤣🤣

Taichinan Sat 19-Apr-25 16:02:03

So glad you weren't driving J52.

Aldom Sat 19-Apr-25 16:47:57

Aveline that's a blow!
I've cut the grass, moved some plants around cleaned the lawnmower etc.
Now my back is even more painful!
Oh well, I suppose I'll have to make do with an ice cold Gin and Tonic. grin
