Morning! I guess that change in clocks has caught up with everyone.

Hope you all gave a good day & that @dp1 and her family enjoy their London break.

Morning - I was up before 7 today but still tired from the events at SA over the Easter week.
Ironing was done just after 8.
Plan - hopefully a day at home - not had a day without going out for nearly 10 weeks.
I am going to make some cards today.

Morning all, thanks Floss,I was surprised to see only 1 post.I'll catch up later as I didnt post yesterday. Raining here.

Saturdays meal we hosted for DB1 who retired last week went very well, Suffice to say we overcatered but it did mean no cooking yesterday, and I've frozen some leftovers too - freezers are rammed again.

I'll cook a chicken later, we're off to the match this afternoon.

Right- time for another brew, have a nice Easter Monday/April fools day

Morning! Back from Wales where we achieved stuff, very proud of my sister, she has taken 17 black bags of clothes out of there for charity and that's just my father clothes. And a big telly with one of those big backs, no idea how she managed that one. Caught up with my cousin too, and did some bits and pieces..Today I am intending to do some pottering and cook a leg of lamb with garlic and herbs n stuff. There's a whole raft of doings for the this week but not today...

Morning all. 

The sun's shining here so will go out in a while. No doubt it will rain later.

Yesterday's walk was quite short but muddy once we'd left the canal path. We had a nice brunch though and have reserved a table at the Cafe on Friday for 10 of us. 

Have just ordered mats for my new car and plans for later in the day include ironing, making a fruit cake and cooking chilli for dinner. Must remember to watch the first of Masterchef this evening too. 

Hope you don't fall for any April Fools today!

Morning everyone I’m a bit lost off with the days I couldn’t work it out when I woke up back to rain today dogs been walked and now snoozing she has a great life not a lot going on here house is clean and everything is caught up on I’ve been weighed help it’s scary 😱 standing on them scales I’m back into it today I know you have all heard that before. Taff what an achievement it makes you wonder how we gather all this stuff my friend called yesterday she is going to have a day of clearing out she has five double wardrobes full of clothes as well as numerous chests of draws she is car boot and charity shop mad but she told me at least three of the wardrobes she hasn’t even opened the doors since before lockdown. Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day whatever you are doing

Well I'm back to work tomorrow for my very last and short week.  Will feel very strange on our last day walking out for the very last time but onwards and upwards!

Family round yesterday for a lovely lamb roast and now the difficult task of eating all those Easter eggs!!

Have a good day to you all xx

Morning all

Dull and overcast here but yesterday was glorious we were walking in t-shirts we sat outside the pub in the sunshine it was such a treat, we walked for five miles but it was so muddy 😩 my boot kept getting stuck in the mud and I think I’ve twisted my knee while pulling it out as it’s very sore, a day of rest should sort it out.

Dinner today is roast lamb roast potatoes cauli / broccoli cheese, cabbage and leeks mum is coming for dinner and I have a maple and pecan roulade for pudding 😃

Will have a quick tidy through this morning and then prep the dinner we eat in the evening so no great rush, I will attempt to have a sit down this afternoon.

Taff glad the sorting out went well xx

Have good days all and take care xx

Afternoon all - thanks for starting us off Floss.

I've been to my exercise class, took away the recycling and glass and done a small wash. It's a bit dull outside, yesterday was much warmer, though no wind thank goodness.

There's lots of little lambs bouncing around the fields, even seen a completely black one, it's a lovely time of year to see new life.

I hope that all is well with everyone.

Hi everyone,

It's lovely here today, unexpected because the forecast was for cloudy skies and showers. I've washed and pegged out our mattress protector and a throw and am washing the sheets and quilt cover as well. I've cleaned the grout on the en-suite floor and am continuing with sorting the children's craft things, games and jigsaws. I'm taking a break because I'm at the stage where things are at their worst before they start to get better. 

I want to sort the utility room this week as well so I'd better get cracking again.

I hope all the poorly people are as well as can be expected.

dp1, enjoy London, I hope you don't do too much I always feel exhausted after a day there and it is only a day trip for us.

Have a good day.
