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

Lolling about with a virus ... blessed nuisance

Emptied dishwasher, showered, dressed, took dog to field, collected papers, came home and made a sausage sandwich, tidied kitchen, then gardened until 2pm. A fairly productive few hours. Now sitting in the garden with a cuppa.

Also went to farm shop for meat and veg. Marinated chicken for dinner! 😊

We were up early to get to our flu jab appointments before 9 am. Did a local food shop. Had a phone call from DD3 asking me to pop to her house to collect a dressing up costume. 4 year old DHS had arrived at a party and she had completely forgotten that he should be wearing a super hero costume. As she had walked there it was quicker for me in the car. One very upset little boy pacified and says Nana is a super hero too.
Filled and iced three cakes for DD2 ready for her gathering of friends this evening. Supervised DH and his friend replacing 4 fence panels. I did provide coffee and cake.
Had a message from DD1 to say she would be calling in later.
Painted some colour patches on the lounge wall. Caught up on an episode of a TV programme we missed during the week while we had lunch.
Now I’m off to my craft room to make some card and pipe cleaner lollipops !

Hello everyone.
We've been out for brunch with DH'S family to celebrate his 70th birthday on Tuesday. We then went back to his daughter's house for birthday cake. A lovely morning.
Relaxing now with the papers and a cup of tea.
I hope you are all having a good Saturday xx

First time checking today so I had no idea.

We’re on grandparenting duties so we were up at 7.00 (normally it’s 6.30 on a school morning) and away for a hockey match at school for 9.20.

Team tea at school which wasn’t appreciated by her 5 year old brother then home.

Parents back any minute so roast dinner as requested is in the making.

Got a new phone yesterday and have had such trouble logging back on to all my apps I thought it must be my ** phone!

Much more feisty I imagine TheatreLover?

Well, I went down the rabbit hole of a thread about the Duchess of Sussex. If we posted anything like some of what I read, I think we'd get our knuckles rapped.

Don't think I'll join MN.

All the same I think we get ‘babied’ a bit too much on here Allira as though we’re all in our dotage.

Yes, I do think we are supposed to behave with decorum on GN!

Final touches to the guest room ready for visitors arriving shortly then read a few chapters of my book.
I love lentil soup ViceVersa can you teleport some over please.

Preparing a meat and potato pie lunch for visiting DS and DiL and prepping the vegetables. Then a leisurely afternoon. I didn’t get the chance to check in on the good morning thread until after four o’clock.

I went for a walk with Muttface & DH who managed yet again to just grunt & ignore me! Wondering if a divorce is feasable now or if I've left it too late? He is still chatting away to someone on the phone, when he thinks I can't hear him! Feeling a bit sad really.

I was at Addenbrooke’s hospital with my son who had major surgery on Thursday lasting 8 hours. He was in Intensive Care and I couldn’t visit until 11 am yesterday.

I thought I would kill some time online but no GN. I thought it was because I was on NHS wifi. 🤭
