Morning all
. Long lie in this morning and I feel better for it. Aches and pains after yesterdays allotment foray but Hey-ho there's no gain without pain!
Need to raid the freezer now and work out what we can have for Sunday lunch......egg and chips would do me! though

Take care y'all

[burnie]

Morning all, bright and breezy here, no plans for the day, we don't tend to go out at the weekends as everywhere gets busy, might just go for a walk round the fields later. Take care all and enjoy the day.

Mornin n'alln'all

sounds like you are having get the weather we had yesterday.
Sploshy stuff here.

I've just had a lovely chat with my mom who is now home.Poor thing sounds very fragile but happy to be back. What a relief!

I might do some knitting today - I've been making a small knee blanket which needs sewing together then an edge, so I might just get on with that... OH is painting up from the ladders so I can't really help him.

Best get the bedding etc in the wash though first....

Afternoon all,sunshine outside,late up here as well Snadger,and why not ,good news about your mom Nicos ,enjoy rest of the day everyone.

Evening all. Late for roll call as internet has been playing up all day.

Fingers crossed you get some interest in the house, LD.

Not much news from me today, really. Very cold and windy. Too cold for my bread to rise but the range is still in the garage. Could put on the gas heater, but it seems a bit much for just me and the dogs. And the bread, I suppose. Even the chickens have noticed the fall in temperatures: only two eggs today and yesterday.

Friend coming over for a cup of tea in a bit, so better get the kettle on. I'll put on plenty of hot water if anyone else wants one.

Have a nice evening, everyone.

Evening we’ve spent the day outdoors, It started out chilly but I soon removed my fleece. GH got up to 28c its cooled right down now though.
Enjoy you evening

Not been on here for a few days. One of the very elderly relatives in hospital. Not sure what is wrong yet but she is not at all rational. They describe it as "Confused". I really have no words to describe it. I am just so upset even though I know she is being really well looked after. Where on earth do the staff get their patience? Not even been near the allotment.

Morning all.

GF I liked your post 'cos you are here again, not 'cos your relative is poorly. Hope she recovers quickly.

Still dark here but no rain as yet. Chilly though.

[Bren In Pots]

Morning

Mothhawk our rains due in a couple of hours then its here for the day, I'll be mostly in the kitchen sorting out those apples we cleared from the trees yesterday.
Have a good day.

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

Sorry to hear about your relative, GF. That was a sympathy like from me. I remember when my mum was in hospital she had repeated urinary tract infections and became extremely confused, coming up with all kinds of stories about Sunday School outings she'd been on the day before and the like. It was impossible to rationalise with her. If your relative has suffered from a similar infection, the delirium can go on for weeks afterwards even once the infection has been treated and cured, especially if she's very elderly. It's distressing to see and hard to cope with. Big hug.

Temperatures dropping a bit further today. Cold and cloudy this morning. Lots of paid work and lunch for a friend to sort out today. So better get a move on.

Catch you all later. Have a good one.

Edited: I was reading an article about the astronomical event on Wednesday at dawn. I don't know if it's because of my current concerns with invading rodents but I can't help but think that the constellation Leo the Lion looks more like Roderick the Rat.

[Snadger]

Morning all
. It's like the 'Dark days before Christmas' and it's only mid October!

Had intended to cut and box off the lawn today and cut my 'wildlife area' on a high cut letting the cuttings fly today? The way the weather looks that may have to go on the backburner..

I am a full time caree now so have plenty to do indoors. I can feel a pie making session coming on.

See ya later folks.

[burnie]

Morning, we have one of those dank dreich sort of days, it's not dry, but it's not really raining either, not a breath of wind, I quite like days like this, might go for a walk in the forest later. Take care all and stay safe.
