    morning all,

    Beautiful day here, shame I have to go to w**k, still needs must, they think it will be 75 degrees today :eek: :T .

    Felt so good yesterday having got the bedroom done, but really, where does all that dust come from :eek:

    Went to collect DD from station yesterday and all the trains were delayed, so little dog and I sat at the station for 2 hours waiting :rolleyes: , could not come home an wait and she was on the train between stations, and could have arrived at any moment.

    We have fish cakes tonight, I have some brocoli and green beans that need eating too.

    All washing up to date thanks to the glorious weather yesterday. Rubbish needs to go out this morning.

    Hugs to all in need

    Morning all :wave:

    Another gorgeous day here. Think I might wear a skirt today :eek: my legs don't come out very often,but I have two lovely skirts that I bought for my holiday last year and have only worn once and I'm worried that with losing weight, they won't fit for much longer :j

    Need to take a leaf out of N9eaves book and get my veg planted. We're going away for a week on Saturday and I still don't have my potatoes in :rolleyes:

    Just cooking some pasta for lunch as it is a work day, and going to do a sausage casserole in the slow cooker

    Good luck with the bood test Lyndseyann, you will be fine, needles are so thin now that you probably won't feel a thing

    Smokey, some people believe that dreams like that are visits, and are a very special message from your loved one to tell you they are OK. I had a couple when my Mum died, and although they are bitter sweet, I did get lots of comfort from them. xxx

    Hope everyone gets some lovely sunshine today x

    Morning all.

    SMOKY - I have just caught up with your post on yesterday's thread. I'm glad that Eric was smiling in your dream; I think that's his way of telling you that he is happy where he is and is watching over you all. He must be full of admiration for how well you are coping. (((Hugs))) to you all.

    CHURCHMOUSE - :hello: :hello: :hello:

    MRS MIX - Thinking of you and your Dad

    PENPIN - I hope you have a good day today.

    MARTYN - It's lovely to read how upbeat you are lately. Have a great time in Yorkshire!

    Well, we are in for another scorcher here today. Does it really mean we can stop wearing winter clothes? I can't believe how the weather changes. Only last week a friend came to visit (on the Wednesday, I think it was) and it was pouring with rain, windy and cold when she turned up - took ages and several cuppas to thaw her out and now it's so warm. Typical British weather, I suppose!

    I have a load in the WM and a small pile to iron so I am up to date with the washing - well, until I change the sheets tomorrow. I need to make some cakes; I only made a batch at the weekend and they've gone already. My DGS will be here for tea and he always likes a piece of cake so I must get some more made. Then I shall go to the gym and come back and do some w**k until I have to collect DGS from school.

    Well, I'd better go and clear up the breakfast things so I will see you all later.

    Have a great day!

    Hugs Hester

    Busy on her own, or with someone ? :D

    Good Morning All

    Glad you asked that Redruby - I was going to - Im dreading the answer :rotfl: was she 'entertaining' Hester?

    Lovely lovey weather here today. OH has some work so is out this morning. I have my Tai Chi and am going out for lunch with my friend from there. Its a slow process learning Tai Chi but my back, neck and shoulders are definatley a lot looser now.

    Once home it will be a toss up between ironing and paperwork or maybe both. Will try and get out in the garden for a short while. Vegetable plots look great, nothing shooting up yet - must learn some patience.

    No idea whats for dinner tonight, didnt realise but my menu plan ran out yesterday - another job for today.

    x

    Edited to say - Just checked out your blog Hester :eek: :rotfl: :eek: :rotfl:
