    Let me guess, the second part of that comment is

    *knees & back creak with disgust*


    :D




    Decided to [strike]waste[/strike] spend the morning practicing. It's supposed to be half an hour a day, but it never seems to happen like that.



    Still looks so dark outside. Even the cats have given today up as a bad job, and all the weather we have is that it's a bit blustery and cold.


    Suppose I had better shift myself to do something [strike]less fun[/strike] more productive :(.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    You mean you were just sat there until someone joined you :rotfl:
    How long would you have waited?? :)

    Well my kitchen looks better now, I made bread and rolls yesterday (past sell by date flour, very cheap, :money: just add water... even I can do it ;) ) but I did make a bit of a mess and needed to clean again.

    eta I do check the flour carefully before I use it :)

    Good afternoon,

    I have a flying question for Hex. What make of steam press do you use? DD is still struggling with the cottage ironing.

    Still doing gentle flying but my voice is beginning to return.

    Afternoon all

    Been shopping all day. Not a whole lot to show for it but the stockings are almost done and I know a few bits to order online in a minute.

    Going to do a HHC of the dalies before dinner

    Mumto5 sorry about DDs test

    JoJo hope DD coped at school with her brace - I used to take soup to school everyday when I was at secondary, not for a brace, just liked it.

    Hope you are all staying safe in the wind.
