Morning

All ready to head to the home to see mum with her bag of pressies then I got a phone call and its all off The home has been hit with D+V so visitors are banned.Apparently mum is fine at the moment but its not worth risking it. I did manage to speak to her and wish her happy birthday. It would have been the first year I would be able to see her on her birthday since covid.

Guess I will just crack on with the house. Need to call the plumber too. Yesterday the heating was coming on when I put the hot water on as I am still on mission leave it all off then it needs sorting 

Food wise I may go easy with fish fingers peas and mash

Have a good all

Aww Nels sorry you will miss seeing  mum on her birthday but better to be safe than sorry. Would be the last thing you need to catch

Thanks Taff tbh I'm just surprised they don't seem to look at potential ( which is what we did) but hey ho will see what happens in the New Year

Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

WickedLady - that talk sounds fascinating, I hope that it turns out that way.

Carolbee - what exhibition? Did you enjoy it?

Rosy - thanks.  And what dreadful behaviour, makes you wonder why.

TA - thanks too.  Have your DGD gone off Pasta Bake?

Bella - sorry that you're down too. Perhaps the mood will go soon for us both.

Snoozer - that's great news about Steve, I hope that he carries on getting better.

NRA - when I sold my late DM's flat last year I was told to not bother about doing any work as anyone coming in will change everything anyway.  All I did was have a new consumer unit installed. The place sold on the first viewing so I don't understand why you've been told about a lot of work. Perhaps it's because of the squeeze on interest rates. I hope that it sells soon.

Taff - my grass just won't stop growing too.  Yesterday I got fed up with looking at it, it was almost ankle high in some places so I got out the mower, set it on a high cut and set to.  The grass is now shorter and mangled looking but it will recover. There's also some Welsh poppies hanging on and my lovely Mary Berry rose is still in full bloom.

I went out to take the bag of grass cuttings away and filled the car with petrol. The postie brought me a new Echo thing for the upstairs 'new' room. My lights and music are all controlled by the blessed thing. Still waiting for the new chair.

The low cloud hasn't lifted all day and the rain has been drizzling away for most of it.
