Sorry, haven’t been here for ages. I’m somewhat, as in put off by not having found a way of going to the first unread in any thread. So, hello . I was expecting mist this morning according to the weather forecast but it was fairly torrential rain. So indoor pursuits instead.

Went shopping this afternoon, for food. When I got to the shop I thought I’d put my glasses in my pocket but they weren’t there so assumed I’d left them on the coffee table. When I got home I found them in the road and had been run over. Had to happen on a Friday night. Fortunately I do have other specs.

We had to nip out in the car earlier, 3 degrees, rain and sun, then sleet and hail, really not very Spring like lol.

*Looks at clock.....
Its almost full moon time again isn’t it?

Clocks go forwards this time tomorrow...don’t forget!

[Mr Bones]

Good morning one and all.
Clocks forward tonight, I love the lighter nights but I also love lighter mornings too (win-win). Come to think of it I love battening down the hatches and hunkering down in winter as well so perhaps I'll just pipe down

Happy Saturdays, enjoy your day

[Containergardener]

Morning all
We had sleet and hail yesterday too, cold day.
Janie eeek with your glasses. Pleased you have some others.

Cold this morning but no frost, a dry day forecast so I shall be outside.
Unfortunately the dogs don't follow the clock change, mainly the older one whose belly revolves around feeding time so I will no doubt be up at the same time
Enjoy your day .

Morning all.

Off on an outing today. Going to see a man about a gas oven on the other side of town. My first outing since the end of January. Better still, we're meeting him at the duck pond so he can escort us to his place. I feel about six years old. Going in the car and seeing ducks! Oh, and it's sunny and should stay this way all day.

Sorry to hear about your glasses, Janie. Bet you were cursing. I would have.

Have a good day, everyone.

[Containergardener]

Enjoy your outing Snoop, all you need now is a picnic.

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All Very sunny and windy. Hope it dries and doesn't just blow the bedding around the washing lines! Have a good day

[bramble]

Good morning all from a sunny Dublin.
A garden day as there are no other plans afoot.lSnoop have a great outing.
I know how you feel, we have been locked down within 5 km radius since late Dexember.
Have a good day all, brighter days ahead.

[greenishfing]

It feels very cold out here. It actually looks quite nice but brrrrr!!! I put the apricots to soak overnight so I'll be making jam shortly.

[mothhawk]

Good morning all.
Had to stay in this morning to wait for the district nurse to come and give my Mum her second vaccine dose. Only 8 weeks since the first one, so our local roll-out must be going really well.

[NannyGreen]

Can I come with you Snoop Puss seems ages since my jab (last and only outing for a year) and I love a picnic

Oh JanieB that wasn't a good start to the weekend my children bought me one of those string things to avoid mishaps but I just kept getting dirt on them as I leaned over the cuttings

My sheets are drying too Florence Fennel (I hope) do you think we may have jinxed this lovely day? I do hope not.

Somehow the sunshine makes everything a bit better - except the windows where every smear is now visible, shutting my eyes to it though. Hoping everyone has some sunshine to enjoy today.

[Nicos]

Mornin n’alln’all
cloudy and windy here....where’s the promised sunshine????

Oh dear Janie- how frustrating about your glasses
So easily done when you think about it.


Ducks? ...I’ll bring the picnic if I can come along as well to see the ducks!!!? Pretty please?????

Loads to do today...no peace for the wicked eh?

See ya later peeps- enjoy your day!

[Snoop Puss]

So there we were, admiring the ducks and geese (we think), waiting for the man to turn up and Mr Snoop says, "All we need is a picnic". But we didn't have one. Might go back. Some of the ducks and geese were certainly hoping we'd got something for them, as they came scooting over to inspect us.

Anyway, cooker bought. It's a long time since I had a gas oven. It's a very old Rangemaster with two ovens. Not in prime condition, but it seems to work, which is what counts. Made some biscuits (still in love with the Helen Thomas book mothhawk recommended) and they came out OK. But it'll take me a while to get used to cooking with gas after wood. How sad... we'll just have to keep eating biscuits till I feel brave enough to try a cake.
