Our 100 yo resident strenuously objects to washing being hung out on a Sunday!

Sorry I read this thread every day but don’t post, I copied madeleines post and pasted on here.

About 50 years ago, when I visited my grandparents in Wales, my Nana used to be really angry if she spotted washing out on a Sunday. It was a ‘go to Coventry’ offence!

My DD1 was born in 1976 and I was always doing washing. I pegged the nappies on the line and my next door neighbour told me off for doing washing on a Sunday!!

I can just hear my grandmother ‘tutting!’ 😂

Hanging a washing out on a Sunday….

Me too Kalu. Actually it’s dried but just as I was bringing it in the rain started. Fortunately I don’t care what my neighbours might think of me …. 😊

Thank you! I thought I was losing it - well maybe I am anyway! 🤪🤪🤪

Very stormy here in Co Armagh, our delphiniums suffered
At least it’s dry , got to Mass and lit candles
Hope we can all enjoy today xx

Good morning everyone. A little late today. DH went out for the Sunday papers earlier and got caught in a downpour. Absolutely drenched when he got home, put he faded put the papers up his jumper and they were relatively dry….so that’s all right then.
Sun is out now.
Just potted up a laurel bush and hope to train it into ‘lollipop’. We have been successful with two others so here’s hoping.
A bit windy and chilly here in SW Wales so indoors now and planning our trip to N Wales next month.
Have a good Sunday all .

I think it was quoted because Madeleine posted on an old thread and LadieGracie kindly transferred it.

A bit too much information there, I think, Mick!

Are they never seen together in the same room?
Good morning all from Stockport, very bright at 7am.
Clouding over now.

GrandmaC47 Sun 31-Aug-25 10:40:34

RosieandherMaw Sun 31-Aug-25 10:38:14

Good morning Mick and all GN's on a slightly windy, greyish morning but with a hint of sun coming up

Was it a quoted post or is my iPad (along with my brain) playing up? confused

A very late good morning to you all too!

Good morning from Sunnyside sandhills northwest coast.
My sister arrived from London last night and we had a lovely meal in a civilised fashion at my cleared dining room table with candlelight etc. Talked till the cows came home.

I bought raspberries in M&S earlier and standing in the queue, a gentleman came over to tap me on the shoulder to tell me that there were reduced raspberries on the other side. Very kind.

My sister drives up and down the motorways without a second thought, likewise my DD. I’m not keel for long journeys, although motorways don’t bother me.
There is too much growth at the back of the house and it is setting off the sensors of the security lights, need to sort that.

Off on a little trip somewhere with Dsister.
Sorry you have had another episode Mick and thoughts to all🌺

Good morning from South Lanarkshire, I must try to get into the habit of reading first thing, I like to read all the posts with my breakfast but increasingly other things seem to intervene and then suddenly it’s too late to post.

For example I’m now rushing out to mass but I want at least to say hello😊

Just read about FGT’ planned family day and I am very happy for them and wish them a lovely time together.

Hope you feel a bit better today Mick and that everyone has a pleasant Sunday. x

Good morning
Where did nobody come from 🙄

Beechnut Sun 31-Aug-25 09:37:30

Nobody morning everyone and Happy Birthday wishes to MrPantglas 🎉🍺🎂

merlotgran Sun 31-Aug-25 08:59:14

Good morning everyone from a sunny but blustery south coast. I’ll try and get some gardening done this morning but I have to watch out for my back and neck when it’s windy or it will be four days of stiffness and pain.
If I stay indoors I really should make a start on clearing out the kitchen cupboards!
FGT’s SOAP dish for lunch. I spice it up a bit! 😂
Hope everyone has the best possible Sunday.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
We had rain yesterday afternoon but it barely soaked the ground.
DS and GD2 came and I made a chicken casserole.
After dinner GD put her camera card into the TV and did a sideshow of her week in Berlin.
She played the piano for quite a while and then DS played the mandolin.
A quiet day for me today, just tidying round and watch some TV.
Lovely to hear your good news FGT.

Kalu Sun 31-Aug-25 08:32:29

Good morning all. Sunshine this morning in Glasgow. I’m sure it’s because I packed away the garden parasol yesterday. 😁

Lights out at 11pm last night and I was awake again at 1am! No point tossing and turning, I watched a film, Mrs Dalloway on YouTube until I fell asleep again. Not such a painful mouth today, just waiting for my swollen chin to reduce from what feels like twice its normal size. Not sure what today holds but hopefully I can get out into the garden if the rain holds off and I can hang a washing out too.

Best wishes to all for a pleasant Sunday. I am losing the plot convinced yesterday was Sunday….oh dear.
