Morning all, thanks Gers- shame about the lack of nice views on your long drive. Must be about 30 + years ago since we used to go and stay just outside Campbeltown with DH diving club, happy days.

Have a great weekend @Wicked_Lady & hope the wedding goes well.

We had a nice meal in Manchester, the trains there and back were rammed though so no seats. DH wanted to go and buy something from a particular shop so it was a bit of a treck from the station and my feet had blisters by the end of the afternoon.We met the friends  at a posh cocktail bar first but I refused to have a mocktail at £ 14.95! Nice to see them though, it'd been a while.

Today we are picking up the DGC, doing a bit of shopping with them and then going for something to eat so not much tea needed.

Got a text saying our new long awaited sofa is being delivered in the morning so will leave DS1 to sort that as we'll be at DGS football, although it's an early match so we could well be back. Then we'll need to start penny pinching after the holiday and new sofa etc. 

@mehefin , our clematis was lovely before we went away, it's on the fence between us and next door but it's just damp petals on the ground now!

Take care all.

Good morning all, thanks for the start @Gers.  Welcome to a soggy Yorkshire.  Rain and yet more rain!  Need I say more?

Yesterday passed well enough and I did a few bitty jobs around the house as well as taking in a parcel for my neighbour.  I slept well last night and feel a lot more enthusiastic this morning, although I wasn't impressed by an early morning call, probably from one of those annoying scammers flogging insulation or whatever.  Whoever it was hung up as soon as I answered.  It being Friday, it's admin day after which I'll pop out for a few bits and pieces that I couldn't get on my delivery.  Tea tonight is a cod fishcake with some fried leftover potato slices.

@AlwaysAllie - Enjoy your short break in Gloucestershire.

@mehefin - Lovely colour clematis.

Best wishes for the wedding, @Wicked_Lady. 

@TA - I'm so sorry to hear you're still having problems with your eye and hope you don't have to wait too long for the other one doing.  

@-taff - I'm glad you qualified "the end is in sight" comment as meaning decorating!     Yes, it's nearly done - hard work but well worth the effort.

Right, admin calls so I'll get off.  Enjoy the day, take care and be kind.  X

Morning all

Back from shopping and collecting my photos which are now all safe on a memory stick.  Just hope I don't lose the memory stick!

Apparently the skip is being collected today.  I'll believe it when I see it sailing down the road on a lorry.  Update it's just being collected whoop whoop!

Re gardens.  I've lost 5 or more of my sunflowers that I grew from seeds and a few other things are suffering because of the wind gusts which are still expecting to blow for the rest of next week.  So annoying

Hope the sun shines and the wedding goes well @Wicked_Lady

I'm also invested into Rob too.  Let's hope they come to the right decision for his future.

Take care and have a good day all x
