A boring day thread

I’ve just done something I never thought I’d do….Made a complaint to the BBC about a factual inaccuracy in a programme last night.

I must be bored. Time to get on with the gardening.

keepingquiet not sure if you are joking or not about driving round the car park!
I am useless at jokes.

Crossstitchfan, yes congratulations!

Crossstitchfan what a day of ups and downs ending in a wonderful high. How lovely!

Crossstichfan Congratulations on the birth of your great grandson.
Best wishes for your future health. Hope all will be well as possible for you.

I had to pop to the local supermarket for some basics and while there bought myself a little picnic to eat in the car.

Then I was so bored I just drove round and round the car park for a while...

Busy day today. Optician in the morning. I expected him to say my glasses needed changing but they are fine. He said my eyesight seems to have improved since my last visit. He will now be booking me for an annual checkup instead of every two years due to the fact I am now diabetic.
Late afternoon I saw my Oncologist. I have a Neuroendocrine tumour of the small intestine which has spread to my lymph nodes and liver. Surprisingly, my tumours have grown a little since my last scan three months ago, having been quiet for a good while before. No need to do anything else yet except monitor them. I have to go back in another three months unless anything changes.
So, a bit of a day of ‘wait and see’. Came home and had a stiff drink! Surprisingly I feel quite well in spite of the issues. Long may that last!
On a happy note, my beloved granddaughter gave birth to my first great-grandchild yesterday. A gorgeous boy. We are all over the moon and besotted already. Mummy and baby doing well. Daddy still can’t believe he has a son and has a silly grin on his face, bless him!
So, like much in life, bad news and good news.

Thank you I am!

I finally have a warm house and hot water coming out of the tap.

Bliss 😊

After 10 days it feels rather special.

Oh that is good news. Hope you are luxuriating.

Well done, Sunglow.

Surely you can get a lift

Why am I always hungry on a boring day?

Hurray!!

Love them all. So easy to use. The onion ones are great and Bisto ones are usually vegetarian whereas supermarket’s own are often not.

Great fan of gravy granules altogether - Bisto fine but so are supermarket own brands. Very hard to find my favourite genre, pork, but worth it.

A boring question.........has anyone tried Bisto onion gravy granules?

Repotted some indoor plants which looked neglected and on their last legs.

Watered the African violets with Orchid fertiliser (that was the only thing to hand).
Will they survive or will they not survive, that is the question.

£43 lighter after trip to vet for Peggy’s glands squeeze and nail clip.

I now need to do something with 500g of beef mince - the good stuff.
Meatballs?
Burgers?
Shepherds Pie for the freezer?

Decisions, decisions. 🤔

Plenty of “knights” slaying patriotic tunes in our town centre yesterday afternoon' !
Had a dental checkup- all good 👍 then looked at M&S bras, …got annoyed with the hangers, gave up, vowed to email them about the bra chaos.
Returned one that didn’t fit properly.

Bought hot dog sausages, and big rolls, enjoyed the sunshine and a nice peaceful bus ride home once out of earshot of the pub “music” 🎶.
Admired purchases. Changed remote control batteries with new ones I remembered to buy ✔️

fried a chopped onion to accompany aforementioned, slathered artfully with both ketchup and squeezy mustard!

Consumed two greedily, and then fell asleep in front of the tv with sound on mute, waiting for next programme… curtains open, birds twittering in the twilight.
My kind of heaven☺️

Ps. Woke at 2 am briefly, slurped a cold drink snapped a bit off my Easter egg that caught my eye in the fridge. Went back to bed joined by the dog (who was obviously hoping it was a cheese treat)

I like Albert Bartlett frozen chips Allira.
My son once mistook the freezer compartment of an American fridge for the refrigerator. He put the carrots in there. We were on holiday and it was Easter Sunday. So no carrots with Sunday lunch.

I'll look out for those, Aldom

No knights slaying dragons around here today. ☹️
