MrsLW why am I unsurprised you are the first to jump & land?! Grandpickles keep you limber?! Have a glorious whole weekend (though um, weather?)!mhagster - out before dark is a Treat, isn't it?! Splendid son bringing logs in.SuffolkSue - rousing hurrahs you have improved technology to ease yourself & your beloved around.DundeeDoll - giggling at curtain fabric & crooning over academic lunches where with a strategic box you have the evening meal sorted too. (Must ask of father why he never has, some time!)PaulieHerts - yet to try iPad, currently hefty great desktop here. Remembering watch batteries - awed - this is superlative good neighbourliness!LaineyT - I too reserve judgement until have tried on All My Tech so still several days experimenting to go! An unexpected afternoon exploring BStE sounds glorious, plus nice cafe - hurrah!ampersand - have gone off death but still ready to visit Fens with sundry menaces - just say. Glad Spits had a last minute whee & OhMyWordYes famiily tree climbing leaves you contemplating stubs of branches no-one mentions. Isabel's had Jamie's child? Heavens, that's got to put a crimp in swanning off to concerts & restaurants. (I liked her bachelor life! Ah well.) Mind "archaeologist and graduate orchestra cellist!" is a blink somewhat combination too.OS Pleasures recently.Pizza is a lovesome thing!Beautiful spring afternoon, lovely colours, admired from under only the usual coat - good on you Raffles for the Yellow Stuff! [We'll figure colour soon.]Talking scouts through badges - one of our smallest (in age & height ONLY) is a complete shoo-in for Master At Arms with fencing foil & we’ll be trying to get the rest through on air rifle over the rest of the year...Colours of sunrise! After a feast of starlight too. (The pie crust of cloud scooped away briefly.)It isn’t tea without the boiling water. Youngest had two mugs prepped, kettle filled & boiled & puttered off. So I got the credit.Courage to all venturing through these did ought to be familiar & yet strangely not-quite lands (let alone RL)! Along with the usual health strength love & robust wind & weather proofing as Storm Ciara visits. Dear girl...13

Think of it as a house move - there will be another fortnight of tweaks & trials & "what if we"s - so keep letting them know where you loathe things & what you are learning to live with & what you in fact quite like or at least are becoming accustomed to?!12 -

I think it will be ok ,like my new Easilift
DH wasn’t keen as more like a hoist, but having seen and stopped me lifting him the old way ,the physio told him bluntly that if I carried on that way,it wasn’t if but when I did my back in ,
he’s getting used to it !,
Bit like we all will with the new layout14 -
Certainly do keep us on our toes D for V, love every second of it too! the weather can do as it will, I had a lie in until 7.30 today (amazing) and feel much renewed too, what with rugby this afternoon x 2 it will have been a good Saturday as we also went over and booked the removal of French doors from the kitchen and the building of a wall, installation of 3 opening windows and a tilt tip stable door back door for me too, so very chuffed with the new solid roofed conservatory and the blokies who did it we're using the same firm.
Paid off rest of conservatory bill and put deposit on next phase.
Visit to Aldi where I am staggered to have done the weeks shopping for £33 and a few pence.
Garden centre for coffee and we tried their carvery lunch which was absolutely amazing, so full now I need a wheelbarrow to move around (but it was worth it).
Rugby, rugby and more rugby gotta love 6 nations.
House all clean and tidy and only a tiny bit of ironing left to do which will happen later on this afternoon, weekend OK!!!

Hello. Try posting today’s pleasures...not that there’s many for no other reason than I’ve not done very much! Pah! To the new forum!I slept all night! Hurrah!Up and about pottering around. Me and my doggy.
Washing out on line. Made the most of the big winds! Almost dried before the rain started.
The fire was started by the boy and kept going by me! Bag of logs brought in so enough for the night...I ain’t going back out in that weather!Had soup for lunch.
Had a tiny snoozette.Had to listen to the biggest moan from DD2...a bad day at work! I suppose the pleasure is she talks to me.Not sure what we are doing for tea tonight.17 -
I like that I have a ‘piece of the furniture’ badge ...which means we can’t remember when you weren’t around!12

i too am now a piece of furniture
i can't tell if i've thanked a post unless i hover over it, which is annoying cos that was how i very quickly could tell how far i had got reading your lovely posts. On the other hand it looks now like i can post pictures, so here's my sitting room with my new carpet and my new curtains and blinds grin grin (sorry can't work out how to resize the picture or wrap text that said i've just spotted the html toggle mwahahaha )
1) gbf came round and we did an hour of gardening, him on weeding me on pruning
2) lunch was lo haggis dinner for me and i did a bacon and tomato sarnie for him
3) then dd2 phoned hoping for a lift which he duly did. dd2 had bought much needed teabags and not needed at all but very welcome crisps
4) did another 75 minutes gardening, on my own this time cos gbf went to mr t then home. also cleared some leaf mulch which had mulched right down to soil but was in the way of the gate to the community garden - it is now in my raised bed which was in need of a top-up
5) gbf's with dd2 for the rugby. he had made a lish beef casserole for afterwards.MrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025
