Chitchat thread #24

[Nicos]

Mornin n’alln’all
calm,’warm’ and blue patches of sky - in all, a lovely start to the day - topped with the scent of freshly baked Irish soda bread!

I’m guessing there will be more sewing today - mostly unpicking a large area I sewed yesterday
Then I’m escaping into the garden!

After all this windy, wet weather Snoop, I think you’ve picked a nice calm period for travelling!

Enjoy your day peeps….

Good Morning All Decorating recommenced. Very cloudy here. That's good news Bramble. Have a good day

Good morning.

It's grey and windy here but at least no rain.....yet. I'm happy to say that I've got electricity and gas this morning and no workmen.

I plan to go shopping later. I'll ring my brother in law next for either his list or to see if he wants to come with us.

Our HDD recorder, under the TV has been playing up, on and off, for a few weeks. It must be quite old as we bought it when the analogue TV signal was turned off....maybe 12 years ago? It isn't smart, but has been easy to use. I bit the bullet yesterday, while the electricity was off and ordered a new one, same brand, but the latest all singing, dancing, smart variety. I just hope it isn't "smarter" than me and let's me set it up when it arrives.🤯

Good news, Bramble!

Off to bake some buns now.

Good morni g sll.
Its grey and windy here, Greenishfing, we're sharing the weathet.
I hate buying new electrical gadgets, you need a degree to figure them out, good luck GF.,

Nicos, Irish soda bread, lovely just out of the oven with lots of butter on.

Flo, glad to hear your decorating is back on track.
I have a few errands to do this morning and then having my grandson this afternoon.
Have a good dsy all.

It’s my favourite bread of all time bramble….we had some warm with dippy eggs!

gf…talking about tvs etc, we had a knock at the door this morning- delivery of our new fibre router… Hopefully it’ll be up and running within a couple of weeks. Can’t wait!…

My brother-in-law decided that he felt up to shopping today, so came with us for the first time in a couple of months. I actually lost my shopping list somewhere between the car and the supermarket 🤯 but unbelievably actually bought everything that had been on my list, plus a few extras, which I found later on the floor of the car.

Mr GF has been reading his newspaper this afternoon and eventually drew my attention to a pasta maker that was advertised. I think somewhere in the back of his mind he was considering it for a Christmas present 😬☹. I reminded him that he has gone off pasta which he now calls string. The only pasta I can get away with these days is macaroni in small amounts. I then went into my store cupboard and showed him my well used carefully boxed pasta maker! Yes, he'd forgotten we've had one for years. Maybe I can reintroduce homemade tagliatelle into our diet.

[Nicos]

I love home made pasta gf…go for it!
Such fun to make together!

mmm…you’ve got me thinking now that I might well make some of my own soon!

[Florence Fennel]

Here's my dilemma - I need to go upstairs but both my banister rails are still wet with paint and as you know, my knees don't work. Oh dear

[Nicos]

Go up backwards on yr bum Flo

Morning Rary using the hoover as a walking aid sounds like a plan let us know if it works out

Sadly Bren it didn't work out, also OH needs to learn, crutches are a walking aid, not a wepon

[Florence Fennel]

Go up backwards on yr bum Flo

But how do I get off my bum at the top Nicos?

[greenishfing]

But how do I get off my bum at the top Nicos?

Maybe take the Hoover with you? ........ If you believe Rary's policy of classifying it as a walking aid.😱🤣🥴

[rary]

Good evening, it's been a windy and occasionally wet day today, we intended going to a GC, but first I needed to see the Doc about a pain in my wrist, I have persevered with it for a while but really need to get it sorted, I got an appointment for 1245 to see a nurse, she thinks there could be a small bone broken in my wrist (which I doubt) Now need to phone on Friday morning to arrange an Xray, so too late for going to the GC, we like to be home for about 2 o'clock thus avoiding busy roads, but OH wanted to do a shopping, as someone wasn't getting everything that was needed, went for a shopping where we got more biscuits and such like, than I would have bought, however I will help her use them up,
Have a good evening, keep warm and safe and have pleasant thoughts that make you smile. Goodnight

[Bren In Pots]

Sadly Bren it didn't work out, also OH needs to learn, crutches are a walking aid, not a weapon

Rary it sounds like your OH is progressing well after her opp.

[bramble]

Good evening all.
The weather took a turn for the worst and it's been drizzly rain all evening.
Spent the evening with stickers and colouring books which kept my grandson happy


Rary, I hope you get your wrist sorted, it's no fun being in pain.

Flo, I dont have an answer for your problem but, hope you get back down the stairs safely,

Have a good evening all and stay warm.
