Chitchat thread #24

Good morning all. Dull and grey but dry and everything is still, so no breeze.
We are having a day out today.
Taking our grandson into town for lunch, then around the city to see the Christmad lights and finally to the theatre to see Peter Pan.
It will be a long day but we started this tradition ehrn our first grandchild was 5 and he is now 34.

Great to hear your work is progressing Nicos and hope your hubby's phone arrives.

Snoop, enjoy your lunch up the valley.

Lottie, hope your baking goes well.

Have a good dsy sll.

Mornin n’alln’all
Loads of sploshy stuff here overnight.
OH has just had notification that his phone will ( finally) be delivered ‘today’.
So, to avoid disappointment , we’ve decided to do our grory hop tomorrow, calling in at Market on the way- instead of just the basic hop later today.
Our friend finished the last door yesterday…and has agreed to give up some of his time in February to help build a couple of fitted wardrobes . Yip yip…after all these years the interior is finally being fully converted into ‘ our home’. It’s amazing what you put up with on a needs must situation.
So…seeing as it’s still raining , I’ve decided to finish off my daughter’s leg warmers, get some more baking done, and just potter around the house doing a few Domestic Goddess jobs

I treated myself to a few ( talking of about 30) new teatowels the other day so might just get the iron out and get those out of
the way,( having been run through the washing machine to remove any starch etc).
A lot I know, but we provide guests with several and about 1 in 3 end up waaay too stained after washing to even consider letting other guests use. Consequently , I have a drawer full of stained teatowels for my own use. Probably getting on for 60 or more of those….on top of my own!

So….that's my day sorted as no doubt OH will think up something…..

Enjoy your day peeps…not long now until the shortest day!

Morning, my lovelies.

Yes, I'm in a good mood today. I've had a very productive start to the day, got the poems out the way at long last, have looked in on the Gardeners Rest and was first to have a go at today's Winter Dictionary entry, so I had my pick of all the possible wrong definitions! If I ever get one right, I think it'll be a lucky fluke. Great threads, LD, GF and MH.

Despite hogging the smiles a bit early on, I've shooed them out so they should be on their way to you. Actually, it wasn't so much me hogging them as them not being massively keen to set off today. It was another perishing cold night last night and they weren't all that enthusiastic about going out. But once the sun was up, they were up and away. They'll be glad, as will I, when the days start to get noticeably longer.

I have a long list of jobs, but none of them absolutely have to be done today except make brandy sauce and/or brandy cream. Lunch up the valley, so that will take care of the rest of the day too, I reckon.

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning all.

Wet and windy today. Grory hop to do later then I shall stay indoors and knit or read I think.

Good news about your GS, Flo.

[lottie dolly]

Rary pop into the gardeners rest it opened on Monday,hope the pain killer work till you get seen,

[rary]

So glad to see your grandson is making good progress Flo, news like that will give you a lift

Good afternoon, managed to get an appointment with the practise nurse at the surgery yesterday, when asked what was wrong I told her that I had a sore hip, when asked if I have had any slips or strains recently, I told her, "no nothing which would cause this problem, I have even moved my wallet to my other pocket" she carried on writing then started laughing when it dawned on her what I had said, so that brightened up the day a bit , anyway I have to phone tomorrow to arrange for an X ray she also provided me with a prescription for pain killers whixh do seem to be helping a bit, as unfortunately as when OH asked how I felt this morning I made the mistake of saying I was fine, which lead to her saying good we can go for some messages, strangely enough I just got into the first shop when I had to tell her my hip was very sore, for some reason she just didnt believe me after doing the shopping we visited our friend where I sorted a table for her, OH wanted to know why the hip wasnt sore now, but as I told her it was still very sore but I just worked through the pain, I got the distinct impression she didnt believe me, again, anyway now back home I'm going to get the feet up and have a rest before making the tea, after which I need to take one of the grandsons over to his youth club as his mum and dad have a parents night at the school, so have a pleasant evening and smile

My mom used to struggle with the dentists chair Flo…I guess the angle is made to make their work easier for them seeing as they are bending over all day?

Hope everyone’s aches and pains etc settle down quickly xx

Flo, really glad to hear Harry is home in plenty time for Christmas. It must be such a relief for you all.
