Back at last! How have you spent the extra hours?

Reading the newspapers on line. Watching Himself sleep.
Drinking extra mugs of tea. Still in my pj’s. 😊

Went swimming, then walked the dog, then went shopping and had lunch.
Popping in every now and again to check.

I’ve just sitting here, vegetating. Had quite a busy week and I’m enjoying the peace and not having to be somewhere at a set time!

Good Morning all.

DD1 &her DH came & her DH updated my pc for an extra year’s support on windows 10.
I have ironing to do later - exciting stuff!

I had a shower later than usual , spent a bit more time tidying the kitchen then generally faffed about while checking to see if Gransnet was back. Going out for tea this afternoon so good have a little catch up now.

Caught up with my crochet , and trying to get the site up !
I’m on my own today , everyone else enjoying a weekend away !

Hobbling around with my backache, tidying up and getting the washing done - I’ve optimistically managed to hang it on the line but I’m not convinced it’ll dry 😊
DH has walked bigger dog and is now out with tiddler.
Ham and chips for dinner.
I hope today goes well for you all 🌹

Made Christmas chutney, and tidied up some outdoor pots swept some steps down, did some washing, read the papers, listened to a podcast and generally fiddled. Now sat waiting for a smoked salmon bagel with yogurt to follow by DH😊

Good Afternoon,
I missed the GM thread this morning.
Glad all is up and running again now- I kept trying to login and thought it was me.

I blamed the intermittent wifi at the caravan site we were staying at 🤣
Then we got home about 2 hours ago and realised it was still down. 🤨

Now just got to empty the caravan and load the washer- sometimes I do wonder if going away is worth it- there always seems so much to do on returning!
Will however have a browse of GN first I think, no point in rushing domestic chores today🤪

Oooo worst case scenarios were beginning to occur, the site was out of action for so long. I've become such a creature of on line habits, the news various sources, Duolingo and GN in no particular order

I have cut DH's hair (hang over from Covid lockdown), fought my way round Tesco as my dishwasher monitor forgot to mention we were out of tabs and tidied the house ready for the cleaners this afternoon.

I have a step granddaughter coming to lunch so was quite busy making lasagna and salad, she'll be here soonish.

Only just logged on, didn’t know there was a problem.Out early to look after DGC as DD not very well.

Good site to check if GN is down for everyone or just oneself -

downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

It's definitely soup season here - so I made a big pot of lentil soup.

Had my Covid jab and listened to my daughter talking about work!!

Wasted time on Facebook and YouTube
Cleaned the bathroom
Hung the washing out
Spoke to a friend for an hour

Zoom meeting, so didn't realise until after. Good to see you all.

RosieandherMaw it's been strange and perhaps a warning that I rely on it too much. I've been up since before six with sore feet and hips, so had coffee early, put on a washing, then went to Aldi for food. On my return I stripped the bed and washed the whites and had breakfast. The whites are now dry and my hips are less painful (I put on the heating). The fencers finished the job and my drive is now looking good with plenty of space for my car. Washing number 3 is in the machine and I've had a roll on sausage for lunch. This afternoon I will potter about the house and rest intermittently. Dinner will be mince and tatties. The weather is cool and sunny. A pleasant day. Have a good day all

I went shopping then did some work on my long neglected family tree. The impulse to do it was spurred on by the 'reparations' thread on N&P.

Lots of coffee, chats with my GD and her BF, long phone call with my D and generally missing GN.
I was imagining life without GN if it never came back and realised just how sad that was.

It is indeed Grandmabatty - I am shocked but not necessarily surprised at how much some people have done in the time it usually takes me to read all the GM posts, especially the novellas! (Novellae?)

Been to local butchers and small Sainsbury’s.

Started on getting the house back to normal(ish) still lots of little jobs for builders to do, no flooring in kitchen, hallway, lobby, downstairs loo or laundry/utility rooms, some paintwork needs glossing.

Looked at Mumsnet and impressed by some of the comments. Did more gardening.
