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

Spent 30 mins being harangued by my new neighbour because my cat had the temerity to chase his cat. First time I’ve met this man. He is scarily angry.
Made some gingerbread.
Cleaned the kitchen.
Lugged a heavy Amazon delivery inside from where the driver had dumped it.
Ate some gingerbread.
I need to hoover the upstairs landing and back bedroom but the cat is asleep up there and the hoover scares him. Ah well, never mind…..
Checked Gransnet.

There are some very intelligent responses to Palestine …. I say no more ….

Much more feisty I imagine TheatreLover?

I read Mumsnet instead. That's quite an experience 😀

I was imagining life without GN if it never came back and realised just how sad that was

You and me both uttb.
It’s how one feels if suspended. I’m much more mindful these days. I hated not being able to join in. It actually played on my mind.

Filled a bucket with windfall apples. Planted my bay tree in a new pot and tidied the greenhouse.

Did a pile of ironing….finally!

Made a batch of goats cheese tarts, I didn't want to break my promise to DD.

Don't feel great, but decided to keep busy.
I'm considering making toffee apple cake, with apples from the garden.
Having a rest first.

I decided not to post this morning as I had a very late night. DS came over and cooked carbonara and he’s also a night owl.
Then no Good Morning thread to even read if not post! Shock horror 😁😨

Took Dh for his RSV jab.
Did the weeks shopping and extra for family coming tomorow for a buffet lunch.,
Just sat down with a coffee and there you were 👋. It’s strange how this site just fits into our daily lives and I miss not seeing what the day will bring for you all.

I have cycled from Bradford on Avon to Bath with DH. We just sitting having a beer before cycling back.

Gosh how strange it seemed without GM thread before my trot for a paper!

Good to see we all missed it, got on with other stuff but kept checking in and here we are 👋

I’ve been out shopping I’ve had some other mornings where it’s been out for an hour or so first thing, (I m an early bird so some of you may not have noticed) but it’s been iffy a few mornings but this was the longest so far !
What’s going on GN admin
No explanation that I ve seen or maybe I’ve missed it ???

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

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.

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?)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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