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.

Taichinan I'm very close in age to you. I still value my teeth and would not enjoy carrying extra weight.
But, wouldn't it be boring if we were all the same. grin

If you have an hour to learn about disruption in the pilchard industry 🙂

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

Oh joy ☹️

I’m sorry Millie I missed your post, that’s horrible, have you got family close or a friend where you can get warm and have a shower?
Why is it taking so long to fix?

Taichinan Sun 20-Apr-25 10:50:04

In my defence I must add that nobody has bought me an Easter Egg .......

Taichinan Sun 20-Apr-25 10:48:18

At the age of (nearly) 84 my girth and teeth are of little interest to me, so I have had, very boringly, a Cadbury's Creme egg most days since they hit the supermarket shelves on Boxing Day. I do enjoy 'boring'.

Aldom Sun 20-Apr-25 09:28:40

As I had Lily O'Brien chocolates and Lindt Almond white chocolate for Mothering Sunday I'm not having any chocolate for Easter 🐇🐣

Aveline Sun 20-Apr-25 09:25:47

I know it's boring or at least childish but ideally enjoyed starting on my Easter egg this morning.

Aldom Sun 20-Apr-25 07:34:55

Millie22 I know what you mean about no heating and hot water. It happened to me last winter. The heating engineer replaced the wrong part, so I was waiting, in the cold, for three weeks in total.

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

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

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

Love this! I think we all have that problem, just couldn’t articulate it as well as you!

Allira, best wishes to the stray gosling. Did you decide which of your concerns most needs to be fed?

Sorry, been busy collecting insects for the gosling all afternoon.
Ryan was most appreciative.

Aveline Sat 19-Apr-25 18:48:21

I don't know. I don't like ringlets. I don't ask for them and certainly not horizontal ones. I just ask for a cut and blow dry.

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.

What is this fashion with ringlets...

Hopefully it will but not until Tuesday when the plumber calls round.

Thanks for replying as I felt lost there amongst stuff about hair and pilchards.

Oh no!

Hope it gets sorted soon.

Norah Sat 19-Apr-25 16:52:30

Easter baking.

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

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

So glad you weren't driving J52.

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

Aveline

Oh no. There goes my pilchard surprise recipe!

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

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.

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.

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...

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.
