O/S Daily Thread Fathers Day

Morning everyone,

Thank you for starting us off Nelski

Hugs to those that are unwell or having a difficult time at the moment.

It was glorious weather yesterday, it seems like summer has finally arrived.

Me, my brother’s family and our visitors all went out and about yesterday, visiting a few places that we all knew well but haven’t been to for a number of years. We included a brief stop at the seaside on our travels in the hope that a sea breeze and an ice cream would cool us all down, and had a walk along the prom.

Then a back to my brothers for some afternoon tea and out for a meal in the evening. It was one of the most enjoyable times that I have had for a long while.

Today will be much of the same. My sister in law is cooking this evening but we have had a change of plan and are going to cook some chickens and have salad bits and a cold buffet. It is too hot for anyone to fancy a roast.

For some reason my niece isn’t in a very good mood and was a bit sulky yesterday, which is so unlike her. She moaned a lot about where we were going, and just seemed out of sorts. I hope that it is nothing serious worrying her, but something is.

Time to go and get another cup of tea and some breakfast, and wait to be picked up by my cousin.

I hope that you all have a good day whatever you are doing

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Thanks Nels xx Dad is doing great and will be in the pub at lunchtime for his usual sunday drinks with his brother The only thing he's doing differently is sleeping in a chair (a half-upright garden lounger!) for two nights per fortnight while the pump is doing it's job. He doesn't have to, and he's been told nothing will happen, but he always ends up turning onto his left side when he's asleep and he's worried he'll break the pump, lol.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]The lady just laughs when Scampi yells at her wheels, we've given up trying to chat when she's out and about, we just shout hello to each other from across the road [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Hope today is OK for you xx[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]Four cats on our walk yesterday, he held it together (but was a bit grumbly) for the first three but the last one shot out of a hedge right in front of us. He went mental, the cat was hissing and scratching and tried to do an impression of a facehugger from Alien while I was holding on to the lead for dear life. I tried to march him away but had no chance, just as well he was on a lead because the cat would've been dead if not. Cat was fine and Scampi had a small scratch on his nose.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, sans-serif]It was too hot for me yesterday, when the sun moved round the back at 2pm-ish I closed all the back curtains. There was a slight breeze so I left the windows open and managed to stay quite cool. It's supposed to be hotter today, not looking forward to it at all. I was hoping to go to see dad early but I can't get there til late morning, their house will be cool but I'll be moaning about the heat on the way there and back I've been awake since 4.45am, I expect I'll fall asleep this afternoon.[/FONT]

Morning all

Thanks for the thread Nelski, hugs to anyone in need.

It's already warm here, I walked across to the bridge between the big pond and the little pond at 6 o'clock to watch the geese march their goslings from one to the other.

We open and shut our hatches and curtains depending on which side of the boat is in the shade, we probably won't tilt the solar panels today as it should be sunny all day.

More sweeping and mopping will be done soon.

Have a good day everyone.
Hugs Hester

Morning everyone,

Thanks for the thread Nelski the first years without are always so tough, am going through the same with my darling Mum who died in January, much love x
My lovely Dad has been gone four years but I think about them both every day
Your day sounds smashing Holly hope your DN is ok.
Very warm already here in EA, we had the fan on all night so did get some sleep, lord knows how hot it must be in the cities, at least we get a bit of a breeze coming off the fields. My DSS's are popping over this afternoon to see OH, I made a lemon sponge yesterday so that's all done and apart from bacon butties in a short while there will be no cooking in this house! We have ham and salad bits so no-one will starve.

Have a good day folks x

Morning all


Thinking of Nels today the first anniversary's are always worst, also thinking of my dad he was such a kind, gentle but strong man who suffered terribly but with such dignity, I miss him so much


Another scorcher here I have washing on the go which will dry in no time, I have a gammon joint to out in the sc which we will have tonight with new pots and salad so no cooking really.


I have woken with a sore throat and runny nose so I hope that goes sharpish !
Will walk around the village today to look at the open gardens also get a cream tea at the village hall and there are classic cars too. should be a nice afternoon.


DD is off out with her dad she will treat him to lunch somewhere.


Please put some water out for the birds they struggle to find some in this hot weather.


Have good days all xx

Are you going to the Minster open gardens? If so, you must be near me?
