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

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.

Ooooshock 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

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🤪

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😊

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 🌹

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.

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.

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

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

Well that was a long outage wasn’t it?

Not a lot of point in saying Good Morning, but I will anyway.
How did you all spend your morning without Gransnet?
