    We all seem to be awake early this morning. GS woke me at 5.20 and I haven't been able to get back to sleep. Two GKs are watching TV downstairs. DS is still not better and he is booked to fly with them back to Scotland tomorrow.

    Hope everyone is ok after storm. We went yo local park yesterday as didn't want yo go far. It was very windy and the sun was very red. We just made it home in the afternoon as it went very dark. Expected it to pour but it didn't. Very odd.

    Pleased you had a good meal last night Sheils. Wind must have been frightening. Hope they have a good journey today.

    Wingo we had a good rest in holiday thanks. It was very hot and the wind from the Sahara meant planes were distrusted but fortunatly it didn't affect us. Hope you find another dog sitter and are money is returned from the one who has let you down.

    Let's hope weather calms down today. Be lucky.

  • Euronoris argh Nap dropping. Those days are long gone. Hope poppet adjusts well . Well done on aqua plane, I love the shark ones lol and sanibin!

    Sheils Cromers lovely, are you from that area, we wanted to move to Norfolk and put a bid in for a fishermans cottage near Brudel alas wasn't to be.

    Alfieblue gifts from cats. Oh yes One of my three has a thing for frogs and slow worms she just makes a very odd noise and plays with them..mice she leaves by the back door..lovely! I'd love a tortie and a ginger but hubby says no lol

    Leanfun Hope ds is better soon, those pesky airplane germs and recycled air.

    Miffed that I cant get liar on catch up (virgin) They are only showing episode 5..wondering if it's online as we don't have itvhub ..but then that means me and hubby staring at my tiny laptop scree. Apparently you can do tricky things with a laptop and plug it in via usb to our tv according to my brother..what witchcraft is this ? Clueless!
    Couple more wins a knitted baby book and a starter vape kit for said brother hoping he gives up.

    Have organized a pumpkin picking workshop at the local farm, we get to learn about planting, growing, weighing, selling and they also use Indian corn which is so pretty. I just hope everyone turns up, so many people suddenly have car issues or illness (mostly because it's free) Happens so much and very annoying for people who really would have attended. Hey ho Thats my little moan.

    Have a Fab evening loads of love x

    Mummy2threeboys we live in SW Scotland but do a lot of travelling about!
    Just watched Liar on ITV hub by connecting laptop to TV with HDMI cable (think that is what you call it) It is the cable that we usually have plugged into the DVD player.
    Well done on the wins.

    :hello: Good morning everyone


    Hope you're all well - I think we're in for a mixed bag of
    weather here today .... sunshine and cloud. soleilnuage.gif


    :T Well done on your latest wins mummy2threeboys! :T


    Back to little cat pressies :p - the ginger tom brings in all
    manner of gifts! He once left a dead mouse in the hood of
    a coat and another in a welly in the hallway! :eek: :rotfl:


    cat_mice_big.jpg


    When we were up staying with them ginger brought in a live
    mouse for my son in the middle of the night!! We were all
    up trying the catch the poor little mite - needless to say the
    mouse lived to see another day! :D


    Their home is a happy place of chaos - dogs, cat, chickens
    etc! Never a dull moment! :grinheart


    Brilliant that you've organised a pumpkin picking workshop.
    It sounds so very interesting - fingers and paws crossed that
    you get a good turnout and no-one cancels at the last minute.


    Hope DS3 made it ok to the restaurant yesterday sheils -
    how did he get on? So pleased that you didn't suffer from
    much storm damage and still managed to enjoy a lovely DS3
    meal. :D


    Well talking of getting on I must scuttle off and prepare for
    my day. :p


    Have a lovely Wednesday all and please take care whatever
    you're up to.

    Morning,

    Looking a bit damp today. Had a longer sleep today with no howling wind and no DS3 to transport. He had a good day with his pal assisting him at the restaurant but as we thought he said it was just too remote for him. His pal would love to be back at Gleneagles mind you but although only 24 he has 2 kids and his wife won't move there. Poor DS3 still trying to get his last 2 months pays sorted out as he has been well underpaid and there are supposed to be trying to sort it out but in meantime he has no money as used his savings the first month he was short. They are supposed to be in touch by today to say what is happening. They must have changed computer system or something. He is fuming as you would expect.
    Going to mum's health care meeting today as she has memory problems. DD coming as well as it is something she is learning and can probably ask better questions.

    DD's ginger cat brings her in mice and birds too Alfie.

    Hope everyone has a lucky day.

    sheils x

    EDIT : - Loving all the pics FF and Alfie, thank you.

    All quiet here now. DS has taken his two back to their mother in Scotland.
    Fortunately he was feeling well enough to go out with children yesterday but his cold still hasn't gone so he has probably passed it on to someone else on plane.

    Well done on wins motherofthreeboys. Well done on organising pumpkin workshop donhope you have good turnout.

    Sheils hope your meeting for your mother goes well. Great idea for your DD to go too. No wonder your DS is upset hope it's sorted soon.

    Very dark here early today.

    Thanks for pics everyone. Be lucky.

    :hello: Good morning everyone


    Hope you're all ok. :) Yesterday turned into rather a wet
    day. pluie07.gif Thank goodness I'm working indoors at the mo!


    Decorating is going well. Had the TV on while getting on
    with the painting (which is actually fairly boring) :p and the
    'This Morning' programme was hilarious!


    They had quite a few Nuns on (re 'Bad Habits, Holy Orders'
    Channel 5 tonight) and what a lovely bunch of ladies they were
    especially Sister Linda! bonnesoeur.gif :rotfl::rotfl:


    Really looking forward to seeing the programme now!


    Good idea taking DD with you to your mum's health care
    meeting yesterday sheils - hope all went well. xx


    Great that your DS was feeling well enough to go out
    with the children leanfun but a bad cold can certainly take
    its toll, hope he's back to good health soon. xx


    Well must crack on ... got loads of comps to catch up with
    before the painting begins!


    Have a lovely and lucky day all - take care.
