Morning folks.
The stars are twinkling in the sky this morning, one of my favourite sights of the day. Yesterday I spent some time rearranging my thoughts, pushing some right away and bringing others right to the front of my mind. It's so blooming annoying that one negative memory always pushes in to eat away the many good ones.
Today I'll get on with some household chores whilst waiting for a delivery. The postie is usually very grumpy which makes me feel better, he's polite but certainly not always a 'Postman Pat'. 😀
There's some summer tomato soup defrosting for today's lunch, it's about time it was eaten.

Happy Thursday to all.

Cold but dry so far this morning, I've been to look at the stars Gers and they are lovely but not such a good show as you will get. Hope your mood lifts and the not so nice memories disappear.
It's been a busy old week, work is mad, so much being thrown out and new stuff brought in, seem to have spent the last week or so being sent to shops although going on the bus for a couple of days seems to have stopped that!
Going to visit an old work colleague tonight with a present work colleague (turns out it's one of her friends) so should have plenty of chat.
Hope Steve is home soon Snoozer.
Sorry you didn't get to see your DM Nelski and hope she didn't catch the bug.
Glad your sewage problem is all fixed Ruby.
Oh dear Mehefin, hope it all works out.
Hugs to those in need.
Right, off for another day in paradise, take care. XX
I didn't get very far with my Christmas shopping yesterday despite my good intentions. My legs are not up to trailing around these days so I ended up back in Ilkley in my current favourite "go to" shop (Yorkshire Soap Co) and got things for DS's DP's 3 late teens. I then decided I cba trailing around looking for suitable gifts for all the great nephews and nieces I buy for so I bought some Xmas money wallets and will give them the cash instead. Still immediate family to buy for so might make another foray on Saturday.
Despite changing the delivery day for my dehumidifier to today it was delivered after I got back yesterday afternoon! It's still sitting in the hall boxed up so that will be my first job this morning. I can't believe how heavy it is so it will be a struggle getting it up the stairs I think.
Have a good day folks if you can and ((HUGS)) for the poorlies, fed up and MIA.
ps I wondered if it was MARIE's DH too Scarlet and she's far from well herself. Sad times.
No, it isn't Marie's husband. The lady in question lives in Northern Ireland and I think her username is something to do with that.
Steve is home - I collected him at 7pm but we still had to wait for the discharge letter and medication. He has to keep his foot up and not wear shoes for at least 2 weeks.
It is raining hard as if it won't stop today, I hate days like this but I have just been joined by a curly haired charmer wanting to dress in a superhero costume. His hair is growing into ringlets so he looks like Little Lord Fauntleroy, however he is now having the screaming abdabs over going outside.
He'll be going to nursery soon and the cleaner is due this morning as well, I might have to have a rethink about what she does with Steve lying in bed.
Mehefin, commiserations because I know it's not what you would have chosen for him.
Nelski, I'm sorry you weren't able to see your mum on her birthday.
Have a good day.
Its been raining hard all night and there is now major flooding locally and more rain due today
Off to collect my private client today and go to ex work which is always enjoyable
Not sure whats for dinner tonight it depends on what I buy today but I might get something quick like filled pasta and salad.
Will have a quick tidy round this morning before I go, the dw has been emptied allready, and I will see if there is enough washing to put a load on.
It was not Marie's husband it was a poster who has not posted for ages and I cant remember her name either, all very sad though.
Coxy thinking of you, I think its something you never really get over xxx
Snoozer glad Steve is home xxx
Have good days all xx
a tidying up and pottering about sort of day here before swimming later
take care all and look after your webbed feet🦆
It started raining at teatime yesterday and has poured all day and is still pouring. Some thunder through the night too.
Little one loved the show yesterday - so did I! - though she was quite worried before it started that she would be scared of the giant. I kept explaining that it wouldn't be a real giant with her saying that of course it would be cos it was a story about a real giant....it started and it was a man with a big head on. Little one said - in a rather loud voice - oh granny you were right it's not a real giant! She commented every time they said something that wasn't actually in the book or if there was the slightest deviation from the story ...the grandad in front of us thought she was hilarious.
She stayed with me last night but didn't wake too early - 'granny the clock says six three six so it's morning!' She came in with me for a cuddle and a chat.
Worked this afternoon then popped up to Aldi with DD as I needed fruit and bread - I was very good and almost just got what I needed.
Going to get my dishes washed and put my pyjamas on x
