Mornin n’alln’all

Still, damp and grey here. Not very inspiring tbh.

I’d thought I’d near enough finished knitting a bobble hat for my daughter - just a bit of casting off, sewing it up then make the bobble. “ “Any way to make a peak at the front?” Says she
”” me thinks
” yeh sure”

So after a lot of gooooogling and trawling through YouTube I’ve found out how to knit one. Phew! Thank goodness for the internet!

Its started raining again, so I guess that’s my day sorted then!

Enjoy your day peeps x

Good day all..Dull this morning g but not raining.
Just back from church so having a cuppa.
No plans for the day so far.
Happy Sunday all.

Love hearing the different words and their meaning Rary.
My mother was also a stickler for manners and we would be told to address people as Mr or Mrs. How times have changed.

bramble, I worked in Tesco for a short time and they insisted on staff wearing name tags, showing your first name, there was a grouped of young boys passing through my till when one of them address me by my name, whereapon my name tag came off, a day or so after that I was questioned by one of the senior staff on why I wasn't wearing a name tag , so told him there was no way I was going to accept being addressed by a twelve year old boy by my first name, I never heard anymore about it, but as I was only doing the job to get out from under OH feet I could take the chance on that, I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't like displaying their name but needs the job. Of course doing that job also saved me doing housework

[bramble]

I quite agree with you Rary.
It's all about manners and respecting your elders..

Mind you, working in Tesco was a good way of getting out of the housework. 😏

[Florence Fennel]

Wholeheartedly agree Rary, I find it lacks respect when strangers use my first name. I wouldn't dream of addressing someone by their first name until I had their permission. I also find it patronising when I'm referred to as "duckie", "love", "sunshine", etc!

Good evening spent some time today tidying up the garage, this will give me space to store the wood which I will be using for the roof, that way I don't need to rush the covering of the roof plus I can wait till it's a bit warmer, if I had waited and ordered the material as the wether improves, there is a strong possibility of having to wait quite a bit for delivery and possibly miss a suitable day, so this way I have everything ready when I want it, just one big big mistake made when I was talking about it to my son, as I said once the roof is repaired and watertight I would see about keeping the car in the garage and who overheard that conversation? OH🥴 and since then it's been do you not think you should be clearing out the garage, instead of waiting till you need to clear it, wives just don't seem to prioritise .
I meant to post this a couple of days ago, I was at a meeting, and were sitting around a table and I happened to ask someone if they could cover for me as we were going for a holiday for our anniversary, and the conversation covered various changes that has happened since we got married, and one of the things brought up was when we were first married I wouldn't let OH wash my shirt till the weekend and the fact that we only had a very small sink and a water heater that held about three or four pint of hot water for washing my self in, the shirt could stand itself due to the dry sweat but it didn't get washed as your body absorbed some of the salts back in the next time you were sweating , anyway two young women thought sanitation must have been terrible and imagine no bath, they seemed to think cold water couldn't clean you, personally I thought it was better than a bath especially when OH was helping but they couldn't believe that for the majority of families in the area having a bath in the house had only happened 16 to 18 years previously, how life has changed in such a short time right going to nip out to the greenhouse before I settle down to watch TV, have a relaxing evening and think on something to smile about

Morning
A dry day buy I've a busy start. Perhaps I shall get outside later on.

[mothhawk]

Morning all.
Chilly, and not a cloud in the clear blue sky. If it was 15C warmer, it would be summer! Got to get out to B&Q today for various bits and bobs. I really miss wilkos for such odds and ends.

Off to put the kettle on for a brew now.

Have a good day all

Morning

No idea of the temperature I've not ventured out yet, but no frost, little windsocks not doing a dance so its looking like a good start to the day.

Enjoy your day

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All It was bright sunshine earlier, but it's cloudy now. Have a good day

Morning, just had a lovely few days with our daughter, sil and granddaughter who were visiting for a long weekend! Almost 3 year old granddaughter is going on 13, such a character. She’s got her grandpa wrapped round her little finger!! Lol
It’s lovely and sunny this morning and frosty, kind of days I love! Off out to doctors then I think a nice walk is in order.
Hope you all have a fab day x

[bramble]

Good morning all.
Its a lovely sunny morning and its 7degs.
Domestics first, then a walk and some gardening after that.

Jay, dont you think little girls are so funny at that age.
They have much more cop on than the boys.

Have a lovely day all,

Mornin n’alln’all
Late start for me - rubbish night’s sleep….OH has a cold and was snoring his head off all night
Could you hear him ?…might have come across as distant rumbling thunder

Hibou has improved enough to catch a mouse for her mid morning snack. Still on antibiotics , seems back to normal with her paw now but I know she must finish the course.

Some domestics then attack some paperwork whilst the weather is rubbish.
We have gusty winds and rain and it’s very dull. 5C overnight and now only 4C. Feels like there might be hailstones or sleet due.
I can’t stop looking at the lush green lawn in desperate need of cutting. This sit on mower we bought last year can cope with lush , long grass apparently so long as it’s dry. This will be a real test for it as it’s another week until we are forecast a few dry days giving it a chance to dry out. Fingers crossed it can do what it said on the tin!

Anyone fancy a brew?…I’m just about to pop the kettle on.
Thinking I might make some flapjacks for OH later, but I’m afraid I’ve nothing here to munch with the hot drink…..unless anyone has anything spare to share?

Enjoy your day peeps. I’ve not seen the smiles yet- did they pass by earlier or are they hunkered down somewhere?
