Good morning all. Fabulous concert last night in Folkestone. Off to Wiltshire for the weekend this morning to visit my brother. Not a very money saving few days, but am able to do all these things by being OS rest of the time!

have a lovely weekend all, and thanks for starting us off @Gers

Gers

Enjoy the time with your brother Carolbee, good to see you posting. 

Yesterday I left Glasgow fairly early, did a bit of shopping and was home by midday. The persistent rain made the day gloomy though intermittent sunny periods brought out a few spectacular rainbows over the hills.  After my bad night on Thursday I went to bed early and slept right through until 6.15am. Now I'm back in bed listening to 'sounds of the sixties'. Dancing when horizontal is interesting!  I couldn't stop moving to 'do you love me' by Brian Poole and the Tremeloes. 😂😂

Today I'll be a bit slothful. I just need to organise things for tomorrow when a friend is coming over to help me hang pictures in the two bedrooms. I'm eventually getting round to it. I may also get him to turn my mattress, I would struggle to do it by myself, he'll do it in one minute. Think I'll get my dumbbells out and start using them again. 

Anyway, hugs all round. I really enjoy reading here every day, it feels so cosy. Happy Saturday to all.

Morning everyone
Yesterday was mostly fine apart from a downpour at 3pm just as school finished...everyone was running to get their kids. A few minutes later DD dropped me off and there was a beautiful rainbow. Little one was delighted as she loves rainbows.
This morning it's pouring - hope it brightens up later as I have washing to go outside. I need to go for some shopping and will go to mam and dads for a cuppa on my way home. Other than that a quiet day - until little one arrives later for a sleepover!
Had to phone housing association last night for an emergency plumber - for leak from the bedroom radiator which was supposed to have been stopped is now spreading across my bedroom carpet. The radiator needs taking off the wall - plumber says he'd report as an emergency to be sorted next week.
Izzybee - enjoy a quiet day hope you feel better soon
Gers - wishing you a good lazy day too x

Hello all, it's been raining here but now the sun is trying to show it's face. I think it will be a bit of a battle between the two today, I wonder which one will win ?
I got everything done yesterday and finished my jigsaw, I'm on to another one now so will do some of that today. I do have some mending to do first though, our windbreak for a start as Mr Fix It put one of the poles through the canvass 🤨 It's only a small hole at the bottom, but I don't want it to get any bigger because it's too expensive to replace and it only gets used a couple of times a year. There's a pair of woolly socks and another pair of trousers with the hem coming down too, so I might as well do all the mending in one go.
I have no idea what to have for tea tonight, I might have to sort the freezers out then perhaps something might give me a lightbulb moment !
Carolbee enjoy your time with your brother.
Izzy glad the eye is on the mend.
Gers I too love that song, the 60's and early 70's had the best music.
dp1 hope you get your leak sorted asap.
Take care all, happy Saturday.

Morning all

Bright and sunny here and looks to be a nice day, I have a towel wash on the go and that can be hung out later.

DD is working today so big pup will stay with us, will do the housework this morning and then get them out for a good walk this afternoon.

Salmon for dinner I think I will marinade it in lime juice and chilli and then do some roasted veg cous cous with it.

Mum is coming for dinner tomorrow so will do a roast, Ive got a bit of pork which will hopefully stretch over two days.

Have good days all xx

Morning folks and thanks GERS.  I'm a latecomer this morning as I wanted to pop down town early doors. I needed one or two bits but it was mainly to renew my bus pass which I hadn't noticed was approaching it's renewal date. I can't be doing with paying bus fares.  We all seem to be having the same weather mix this morning, one minute raining then the next sunshine. But at least we are having some beautiful rainbows in between. 

DS and his DP called yesterday morning on their way up to Northumberland for the weekend. He later WhatsApped me a photo taken from the cottage - only the decking separates them from the beach. It looked beautiful, He says Molly Dog is loving chasing up and down the beach. I hope the weather is marginally better there.

I think it will probably be a slothful day for me too, I don't feel to have much go left in me after my early trip to town. It will be the usual hm soup and bagel for lunch and I have got some smoked haddock out for tea. Probably topped with a poached egg with baby new potatoes and peas to accompany them.

Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for our poorlies and getting better. Take care all and stay safe xx

Morning all
It's a beautiful day after the rain.  Today's plans:  dental hygienist in a bit, then more tidying.   Washing is out.  At the moment we're trying to live out of the freezer.  Have a fabulous day all
