Morning all, we have intermittent sun/clouds so I have a load in the wm which I'll hang out when the wm has finished.
Today I have to go back to the surgery to collect the script for my missing item, fingers crossed they've done it and it hasn't gone walkabout, then it's back to the pharmacy to collect Mr Fix It's owed meds. We'll go up and see Dad afterwards for coffee and a doughnut, hope he's not as moany as he was on the phone this week !
Gers glad your procedure went well, I love chocolate Turkish delight.
Izzy hope today goes ok for you.
Have a good day all whatever you have planned.
Take care

Morning allFelt really cold yesterday with the cloud and strong wind. Blue sky, sunny and calm today though.Just back from shopping. Thought I'd go a day early to avoid the rush but was still quite busy.Shopping put away and enjoying a coffee now.Nothing much going on today. DS is popping in this afternoon to collect some sunflower seedlings I've got and collect a gilet that I brought home by mistake last week as DH has got one just like it and I thought he'd left it behind!Have a good day all x11

Good afternoon
The Drs surgery sent my note via email so all good. Got to go today to get the wound checked. I’m also waiting on a call from my line manager who is really good.
DS2 is already fed up of washing up and cooking, but he is helping out.Today’s plan, not a lot. Listen to my audio book and perhaps start a jigsaw for something different.
A friend came over so we went to the local cafe and shared a table with a gentleman who is 82, he was lovely and talked about his wife that he lost a couple of years previously. He told us he was doing a skydive in May as it is something he’s always wanted to do.Redruby - enjoy your 4 day break. I too don’t like the alarm in a morning.
Gers - glad all went well
Taff - I’m hoping to do some more sowing of seeds with my wrong arm😂.Izzy - hope your visit goes okay.Hope everyone enjoys there day. Take care.12 -
