Gers

Good morning all.

Gers

I'll be off down to Glasgow shortly - I've an early appointment at the dentist for the fitting of new crown. No doubt I'll do some light shopping there too!

Yesterday turned into a really lovely day, eventually. Getting into the spirit of it I did a white washing load and got it hung outside, the sun and the still brisk wind soon dried it all. Meanwhile I had an ECG at my local surgery which showed no abnormalities, big relief.

I hope that everyone has a good day and keeps well.

Good morning Gers, safe travels.

Bright and sunny today, yesterday was cloudy and only reached 20degs, but was a welcome break from the heat, which is expected back next week.

Today I'm off out with DH who is going to the diy store, morries is close by so I'll have a look in there. He knows how to treat me, lol. Then when we get back I've got another load of plums and apples to process for the freezer, although I may leave them for the weekend.

No idea what's for tea, will see if I pick anything up when out, otherwise it'll be something from the freezer.

Have a good day all, take care.

Morning all

Bright and sunny again but with a chill in the air this morning.

Hygienist went well yesterday and I got the last few bits I needed for our holiday, I’m going to get my summer dresses etc out and wash everything over the weekend, I only ever wear dresses on holiday so I store them in the suitcase so they will need freshening up.

I have a loaf of dd’s washing on the go and another two to go in after, she normally does her own washing but has been working so much recently that she has not had time so I will get it done for her today.

Dinner tonight will be chicken mash and salad, I got a whole chicken do the rest can be for Monday with some chips.

Gers safe trip and glad the ECG was clear x

Have good days all and take care xx

Morning all

My new sky box came yesterday. Set it all up and, hey presto, tv programmes were working so it wasn't the satellite dish causing the problem after all! Trying to get through to a human being to cancel him was an absolute faff though!

Another quiet day here. Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all, thanks @Gers for starting us off today. Pleased to hear your ECG results were normal.

It was dull all day yesterday with a short shower in the morning and it felt really chilly, especially in the evening. Today looks to be slightly more promising with temperatures possibly nudging up to the high teens and dry again.

I didn't do my top-up shop the other day when the practice nurse was running late so that's on today's agenda and while I'm out I may as well return a couple of books to the Little Free Library. It being Friday there's the weekly admin to do (somehow Fridays seem to come round quicker every week! 😕 ) and of course the usual daily tasks. Last night's spag bol was rather disappointing even though I'd made it the way I always do. What's left for the freezer will need a bit of added oomph. I think it may have been because I used chicken mince instead of beef. Tonight it's fakeaway chippy tea - surely I can't muck that up! 😁 DS said yesterday's interview seemed to go well but we'll just have to wait and see if he's been successful or not.

Nothing else happening here so I'll wish everyone a good day, take care all. xx
