On another thread, (about hijacking threads, if you want to find it) this was suggested as a potential thread title - each post to have nothing whatever to do with the previous one I though that a very good idea, but no-one seems to have taken it up and started one, so here goes. Not a conversation, no sequencing, totally non sequiturs.

Supermarket potatoes are sprouting faster than I can cook and eat them!

I had my TV moved to the first floor sitting room today.

Nothing to do tomorrow. Just dusting and hoovering. Then telly. ?

The jigsaw’s taking forever. And I can already see that there are two pieces of sky missing, even though I went the extra mile this time and counted all 1000 before I started.

Our hall has been newly painted (by Mr R) and someone is coming this morning to see about new flooring. Wood on the hall floor and carpet for the stairs and landing. What we have down now is really scruffy - we should have done this ages ago! No excuse blush

Now that people have leant to wash their hands properly perhaps they could now learn how to indicate ?

I went for a pub lunch with friends the other day everything on offer was pre frozen fried rubbish. What ever happened to a simple ploughman’s lunch or a tasty soup with a wedge of crusty bread.

I watched the Magdalen College Choir online celebration of May Morning. A 500+ year tradition. Pre recorded due to Covid. Very uplifting.

While out delivering magazines this morning I was suddenly struck by how beautiful nature is. There was so much birdsong, flowers everywhere, trees outlined against the blue sky, and a gentle breeze.

We need to get the new gazebo up. We’ve been putting this off for a month now. I wish we had an instruction sheet to follow, rather than a YouTube video that doesn’t mention how to fit the roof. hmm

The bloomin’ pigeons are eating my wisteria flower buds ?

Turned my heating off last night. Never been on at the end if April

Lin52 Sat 01-May-21 12:19:57

Yes I have noticed that too.

Maypole dancing would be good right now. Failing that I’ll take Morris dancing.

Why does it rain just after the window cleaner has been?

Loislovesstewie Sat 01-May-21 14:16:06

I've just made bagels.

What on earth is the mindset of someone who leaves a bag of dog poo tied to the arm of a memorial bench at the end of my road? It's beyond me!

I thought today was Sunday

I put the long screws in a safe place ready to fix the large mirror back onto the sideboard when the decorating was finished. I can't remember that safe place and DD, SiL and his DB came over specially to do it for me today but couldn't.

I’ve had a bath for the first time in six months

Doing brunch in the garden today for my son, daughter-in-law and 9 week old granddaughter. Babies first visit to our house smile

My Sunflower plants are getting taller and stronger each day ?

Police helicopter very noisily searching for someone and waking us all up.

My tea has gone cold while I have been reading all the posts on here. Thank goodness for the microwave.

nanaK54 Sun 02-May-21 13:23:54

It is pouring with rain here, much needed, although I did have to get my washing in very quickly

Aldom Sun 02-May-21 14:58:05

New photos needed on the 1000 posts thread. Also, it's a while since anyone added a few lines to the New and humorous story thread.
