O/S Daily Friday 26 November 2021
This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything Old Style and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what Old Style things we’re going to do today or what we’ve achieved already. Everyone’s welcome, please do come in, put your feet up (although check the fence hasn’t just been painted first!) and join us for an Old Style natter. The more the merrier!
As this is the Old Style Board, it would be appreciated if posts could include some Old Style content. Please be aware that many people may have small screens, or SLOW internet connections, so please don’t post large pictures, or clip art – links are preferred. When you make a post, if you feel like giving it a title, that will help others that don’t have the time to read everything skim through the thread quickly but if not it's not a problem. Please do not start a new daily thread before you go to bed at night because this often leaves things confusing with two daily threads live at the same time. The idea is that a member would start each new daily thread after they get up in the morning
Morning everyone
Sorry I hadn't read last nights post - so sad to hear that dumpling has passed, love and thoughts to all her friends and family x
Hugs to those that want/need them, those who are poorly and those who are looking after a poorly person x
Happy birthday to those with a birthday x
Still dark, dry underfoot but air temperature has really dropped.
DH and DS1 up and getting ready for work, I'm showered and dressed and enjoying my first cuppa and my porridge. DS2 settled and happy.
Dinner last night was gammon, egg and chips - loads of meat left, so that will be my lunch with some salad and possibly a boiled egg and salad at dinner tonight - there's loads more meat than I expected.
Today will be a "to do" day of lots of things, food shopping first then into town to visit the bank and building society. Also much visit the butcher to pay off the last of my xmas meat hamper. Housework and washing and drying to do also. Going to be a busy day.
Keep safe and well x
