Morning

I agree with Hol, Scarlet be more like a yearly thread if I could only post mind blowing stuff. I really like reading about everyones day everyone is so different Saying that though Jackie O seems to always have something exciting going on congratulations to Holly and Tom mum :T
Welcome back nanny missed ya

So my fascinating day will consist of cracking through an enormous to do list of both work and house stuff. Away this weekend on a spa break with the girls so need to think about what I am wearing as you do No dresses here though and as rain is forecast it have to include brollies and raincoats....either that or I just stay in the pool It will a lovely chill before the op though with some brilliant friends :cool:

Good morning chums ,another beautiful day by the looks of things, bright and sunny at the moment at least .Pottering around day today I think . This afternoon its U3A AGM so I will pop in to see whats happening and who has been voted on or off the committee. I do not do committees very weel and although i have been asked to be on them I prefer to watch and see how folk run things .Don't think I could find the time anyway Great night last night at quiz and we had bangers and chips to eat which is all our favourite meal.

Thanks for all your good wishes re my DGD Holly and her lovely BF Tom .They are off for their 'big' holiday in July which they booked before christmas and it will be their last one for a few years and once home they have to start serious saving for the big day. I don't do hats though as I am far too short and round and would look like a weeble :):)

Only another couple of weeks and I am off on my travels to Stratford-upon-Avon for a week with my oldest friend.A new place to explore for a week and it will be interesting to see where we end up.

We always chat to locals and seem to find the odd spots that get missed off the tourist track last year we had a week just outside Manchester and it was really nice. basically my friend opens the map shuts her eyes and waves a finger over the amp and where it falls is more or less where we have a weeks holiday every year .We have done this for the past 12 years and have had some smashing times and met some great people Once we stopped halfway up a hilly road in the Derbyshire dales and had a great chat to a man who was dry stone
wall building right up the side of the hill. Another time in Norfolk I almost decimated a long line of nuns in Walsingham as I came around the corner I don't know who was more surprised us or them But we had a nice chat to them as well You meet all sorts of folk when you start nattering and both June and I love to chat :):)

Right enough waffling, time I got the coffee pot on

Hope you all have a smashing day and the sun shines down on you all where ever you are and what ever you are doing

Cheers chums

Morning all
Lovely day here so washing out on the line and greenhouse plants watered.

Coffee morning later and then going to see a stonemason to order a headstone for my husbands grave. I would like it in place for the second anniversary of the his death in July. Frighteningly expensive but I need to mark his grave properly.

Watched a recording of Notting Hill last night and shed a few tears, the older I get the more emotional I seem to be!
Jackie O I am about 10 miles south of Stratford you will find lots to do, hope the sun keeps shining!

Morning all
Hugs and spoons to those in need.
Another quiet week in Chez Mehefin. Gees behaving themselves. RileyCat depositing dead rabbits by the barn door. Usual stuff

Lainy. Hay very scarce and expensive here too. £5per bale. We can get small square bales of haylage for £6 and its much better stuff. If Lu isn't used to haylage take it slowly as it can be quite rich. We used to buy a big square bale for £30 but our supplier has run out. Normally lasts about 3 weeks. The alternative is expensive but a necessity.

HoweverDS has been offered a new job. Full time and permanent! So bye bye to the university pro rata job.

Bye for now
Mehefin

Csarina maybe consider suggesting changing the doors on the remaining units to match the new units & minimise the council's cost...will also maintain their investment (which a mismatched kitchen won't do! )
