Gers

Afternoon / morning all. 

I'll post this and return. 

Gers

It's been an odd day here.  There's wall to wall coverage about the late Queen, the new King and all points in between, mostly a rolling rehash of the same stuff. The views of life in the UK show a very sombre mood still. I was glad to see and was impressed with the first televised speech and the walkabout. 

One of the Melbourne friends isn't feeling too well so has gone back to bed, the other isn't on the hired car insurance so is lazing by the apartment pool. My SIL has taken her cousin and partner for a long walk, nephew and four children are out at a birthday party, the sun is blazing down and I'm lazing in it all by myself. 😁😁 

I'm trying to listen to Tony Blackburn via the internet though it keeps dropping out, the signal to the wee cabin via an extender isn't good. 

I hope that all's well with you all and your families. Happy Saturday to everyone.

Morning Gers and all to follow

Im up early for me at the weekend I have a hygenist appointment at the dentist at 9 and I need at least two cups of tea to wake me up !

I have put a wash on this morning which should be done when I get back, it can go out on the line today as it looks like a nice day.

BBQ for dinner tonight, I did the shopping yesterday so we are all stocked up, pork belly slices and halloumi cooked on the bbq and put in wraps tonight with some roasted aubergine and salad.

Bella thinking of you and your dd, I hope her and baby are ok xx

Have good days all xxx

Morning all and thanks for the start @Gers xx

My birthday today and the end of a very strange week. I too was pleased that the new King took the time to connect with his public and I thought the speech was good. He looked very emotional towards the end.

I'm off to FC but won't be staying as we are meeting DSis, BIL, DMum, DS1 and GF. We plan to browse an antiques centre then go for a light lunch. We are out with DH's friends this evening for a few drinks. I'm hoping FC will be 5 weeks on the trot for a loss, but we shall see. We saw "See How They Run" at the cinema last night - it was very entertaining, but the showing wasn't until 8.30pm so I nodded a few times. I'm not a night owl at all!

Hope DD2 is doing okay @bellabella - very stressful for you all.

Have good days everyone,
Coxy

Hello all, we had a funny old day here yesterday as it was Mr Fix It's birthday so DD and family came after school, along with my Dad to share in some Birthday cake whilst watching the TV as DD hadn't chance to see anything during the day. DGD was full of questions about everything like " where do they keep her crown now? " 😂 We realised that Dad had lived under 5 monarchs during his lifetime, that's madness!
Today I have done 2 loads in the wm and hung it out, stripped the bed and the bedding is spinning around in the wm now. I'll have to hang it on my "extra" line, then we're over the van to take the cover off and put in some things as we're away tomorrow morning for 2 weeks. Later I'll re-make the bed and give upstairs a swish with the duster, then I'm ready to go.
Coxy Happy Birthday, have a lovely day.
Bella good luck to your DD2, hope everything goes well.
Take care all, stay safe and well.

Afternoon all . Thank you for your good wishes for DD2 and baby they are both doing fine as long as DD2 stays laying in bed as soon as she gets up for a walk round her BP goes off the scale but in herself she feels fine just fed up but no long to go now
I am going with DD1 to visit her tomorrow and then go and finish the nursery and pack her bag as well as collect the dog as DSIL is in the Household Cavalry they as you can imagine are very busy right now so i will take the dog so he doesn't have to worry as DD said he is worried he can't support her as much as he wants at the moment . I will then collect DS from the airport he looks to have had a wonderful time in Egypt with friends
Happy Birthday Coxy
Sounds like you are having a wonderful time Gers
 I hope everyone else is doing ok have a good rest of the day x

Afternoon everyone
Little one stayed last night - she was really tired so was fast asleep from 6.30 last night till 6am - we lay in bed for a cuddle and then she watched the ipad till just after 7. I was shattered too so was in bed for 9, after catching up on the royal events of the day. We've been into town to the library this morning and the watched this morning's BBC programme while we ate lunch - fast forwarding a lot of the talking but she really enjoyed watching the soldiers and trumpeters. She's very interested for a three and a half year old - lots of questions like why have they got those big hats on, can he see where he's going, will they crash into each other when they march....and many more. 
Lots of photos of Singapore from eldest DD this morning and then a message at lunchtime to say she's now in Bali. She was picked up at the airport to go to her hostel and was going for a sleep.
It was quite dull and drizzly here this morning but has brightened up a little now - the first line of washing has dried and I've got it full again.
Well hope everyone has a good day x
