O/S Daily Sunday September 21 2025

Good morning, it seems to have stopped raining, for now anyway. It hammered down all day yesterday. 
The garden is in a terrible state, what a mess! Dead leaves that have blown in, weeds, plants that need cutting back, it'll get done though.

I nipped to Morries yesterday, needed a few essentials. Then it was house stuff. Nothing planned for today though.

Hope the holidaymakers are having a good time. Thoughts to the poorly people, take care folks.

    Morning All

    Glorious morning, the sun is shining and it's quite warm out after a very cold start. I got loads of washing nearly dried yesterday and my bedding is out this morning. I had a few summer dresses that are ready to pack away so am giving them a wash before they go in the box. I feel quite sad about it but it's too cold to wear them now.

    After my slothful start yesterday I was busy, cleaned the bathrooms, did loads of washing, took down the hanging baskets and washed the downstairs windows. I think I wore myself out and had a nanna nap and an afternoon of sloth!

    Goodness, that lamb's expensive Ruby, glad I don't like it!
    Enjoy your evening out with your Mum Coxy.
    Hope the weather is being kind to the holidaymakers.

    I have 9 folk for sunday lunch today so have been shopping - DS2 and DP have my car so had to lug it all up the hill in my wally trolley, I was slightly out of puff!

    Have a lovely Sunday, take care. XX

    Morning all and thanks for today's start @Scarlet.  After a thoroughly miserable day of non-stop rain yesterday, this morning the sun is shining with a cloudless blue sky and virtually no breeze but it's much, much cooler, especially at night.  Most of the leaves on the cherry blossom tree at the back of my house are now sporting their autumn colours and quite a few have dropped already.  On the upside, it looks as if we're in for a dry spell this coming week.   :)

    I haven't posted for the last couple of days, mainly because I didn't have anything to say!  Nor is today any different really but I thought I'd make up the numbers.  It being Sunday, I won't be doing much but want to make a start on the two cross stitch kits I'm doing for you-know-when - bookmarks, one each for DS and his DP.  Before that I'll do an online grocery order for Tuesday, nothing for the freezer though as I'm still in use it up mode.  I've extracted two beef kebabs for today's dinner and yesterday used up the last container of h/m soup so space is appearing - slowly!   :D   My latest monthly energy bill dropped into my Inbox yesterday, slightly up on the summer months due to having the heating on a bit now, but less than the same period last year and with a decent credit balance to use over winter.

    I hope our holidaymakers are having a good time and haven't been washed away; healing wishes for the poorly ones and hugs for anyone needing one.  Take care all, enjoy the rest of the weekend.  X
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.

    Apologies for my tardiness, if i don't post before I get up then I tend to get engrossed or waylaid and forget!

    Had a lovely weaving workshop yesterday - my little mat was smaller than everyone elses I think I was twisting the fleece more than them. But it's still lovely just don't know what i'll do with it - I can get half my bum on it :smile:

    Just throwing things in the van as off to Cornwall tomorrow so that's the rest of the afternoon sorted. 

    Take care all
