Gers

Good morning to all.

Good morning Gers, and all who follow.

Happy Mothers day to all the mums out there. I know it may not be easy for some (my son is not in contact with us), but have the best day you can, and spoil yourself, you deserve it.

Yesterday turned into one of the worst days ever, for various reasons I won't go into. A serious talk with DH is on the cards. But today's another day, onwards and upwards.

Roast chicken for dinner, hopefully there's no more sport on tv.

Have a good day all, take care.

Gers

Morning again though the weather is horrendous, wild wind, battering rain and thick white low cloud has covered the hills and sea almost completely.

The pharmacy appointment went well, blood pressure good, weight down so I almost skipped away but couldn't co-ordinate it either my stick. 😂 And I only bought the local weekly paper despite knowing that it's mostly advertising and I hate buying it, may as well chuck the money down the drain. Bloke came to tweak the TV cables, he tightened both the inside and outside set which restored sight and vision. The test will be today in the winds.

Today is definitely a soup making kind of day. It'll be tomato and cauliflower I think. I'll be hunkering down from the weather, I might sort out one kitchen cupboard which seems to have accumulated 'stuff'.As I need to use the step to reach properly I've been avoiding it. No more!

Keep warm everyone, and dry. Hugs to all. Happy Mothering Sunday to all those mums out there, it's one of those difficult days we encounter.

EDIT - special hugs today to @remmie - hope it all gets sorted soon.

Morning all and thanks @Gers I’m glad the pharmacy appointment went well. Hope the TV behaves itself today x

Sorry to hear that yesterday was awful @remmie and hope you have a much better day today x

We have Mum here later for roast lamb. DS1, DD and DDIL will be here too. DS2 is working. I’m hoping DH takes the lead with cooking today and doesn’t busy himself with a gardening job.

A thrilling rugby match last night - England finally turned up but a little late! Oh well there’s always next year.

Have a good day everyone

Take care

Morning all

I think I missed posting yesterday…….it went by in a blur of dog walking, van cleaning, lawn mowing and cooking. Today won’t be so busy cos I ache!

Some of you will remember our ‘cook a meal from a different country’ monthly recipe challenge……February was a fail as I picked Bhutan and no-one fancied their National dish of spicy peppers in melted cheese and I couldn’t find anything else suitable. Anyway we skipped that and this month is Portugal - so I’ve made a smokey paprika tomato sauce which will go in cod fillets. Quite easy and hopefully tasty.

I sold a small canon camera on eBay yesterday,I use my phone so don’t need it. Had it for 9 years and it sold for £6 less than I paid for it. Just waiting for the buyer to pay but very happy with that!

Hope everyone has a good day

morning everyone and happy Mother’s Day I know it can be a difficult day for some Remmie I hope today is a better day families can be hard work I have a son who never contacts us although I try and a daughter in law that won’t let us see the children my son makes excuses for her all the time although he’s never away from here a daughter that lurches from one drama to another I don’t get involved and a son that will do anything for anybody all you can do is let them get on with it and be there to pick up the pieces it’s hard sometimes but they are all adults now and you wonder why I’m bonkers . Gers you be careful climbing about it’s wild and windy here but bright I can put up with that . I’ve got chicken in the oven I will do veg and Yorkshire pudding later . AA well done selling the camera we all have to much stuff . Silver oldie frost 🥶you are making me shiver . I bought another throw for the sofa not that I get much chance to use it with the little dog she likes her home comforts . Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Morning everyone

Still very windy here, sunny though.

I'm off out soon - hospital this morning care home this afternoon.

Other brother did turn up yesterday, so that was good, though when I asked if he found mam very confused, he said no…perhaps he visited the wrong old lady! I had a nice quiet afternoon to myself which I really enjoyed

Hope everyone has a good day x

Hi everyone,

I had a lovely surprise yesterday, Chris, Crystal and Nate turned up in the afternoon for a surprise visit. Today will be very quiet though.

I want to start sewing again, it fell by the wayside while the family were living with us but I have a big fabric stash that is begging to be used. I'm not going to start this week though because we have friends coming down on Wednesday to belatedly celebrate Steve's 70th. He is Steve's best friend that he has known since he was two. We're going to see Abba Voyage which I am not really looking forward to, I like Abba songs but feel you can have a bit too many of them one after the other. Hopefully I'll be proved wrong.

I'm sorry about yesterday Remmie, I hope you get things sorted out.

Take care Gers.

Have a good day.

Morning all

Cold but sunny this morning

My hip has been giving me pain over the last couple of days and walking upstairs really hurts so am on the painkillers and ibruprofen today. Hope they do the trick.

Happy Mother's Day to all us mums. DS1 came round yesterday and DS2 will be round later.

Have a good day all xx

Morning All

Happy Mothers day to all mums, hugs for those with family not in touch.

DD and DGC for lunch today, snap Coxy we are having lamb as well.

Took DGc shopping yesterday for their gifts, they both chose well. Kept gifts for their mum here but cards kept at home.

Need to empty our bathroom today as work starts tomorrow. We currently have a large very deep bath but not sensible going forward so large shower being put in. Have bought rolls, bacon and sausages for the workers.

My car passed its mot so good for another year.

DP1 thinking of you and your parents x

Gers be careful on those steps x

Remmie, SO, and Izzie sending hugs x

Hope everyone has a good day, keep safe in the winds.
