  • Good morning all, back from a nice relaxing break to celebrate our anniversary, just sitting thinking how lucky OH is to have been married to me for 58 years, (quick look over shoulder to see if she has read this, or my mind, which I am convinced she can do) anyway back home to lots of heavy showers and occasional hail, just getting ready to take one of the grandsons over to an outdoor training centre where he will be attending a first aid course, his dad's car is off the road just now as due to brexit there is a problem getting spare parts for teslar cars, so I am doing taxi work for them😢 and it's also heavy rain just now and as the road goes over the hills it can be a bit of a drive, oh and Snoop of course Nicos thinks we are close in age she is quite good at judging ages and GF try adding some medicated shampoo to OHs bath or washing down with it when in a shower as that can help with itching skin. Need to go have a good day and pass on some smiles
    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

    • Rary, any medicated shampoo you recommend? He already uses unperfumed shower gel for sensitive skin and I never dare vary the washing powder I use as he is allergic to so many things.

        Welcome back Rary! 58 years?….how fab!

        Crazy weather here this morning…..rain, then strong blustery winds, then sunshine, then drizzle, sun, heavy rain, and now it’s a mix of blue and cloudy sky . Think we’re missing some hailstones! Early April showers maybe?

        GF….hope you can sort out the shampoo…
        Interestingly OH was told not to allow shower gel on his wound as it leaves a layer. Soap apparently is fine. Could the shower gel be a problem for your OH? I’d never thought about shower gel in that way previously. Baby soap maybe as an alternative? Hair can be washed with baby soap too.( Just ignore me if it’s not appropriate )

        Ha ha…I’ve just been reading back and spotted a post about scraping back gravel and thought “ that’s what I was doing too”…only to realise it was my post

        Not sure what I’ll be up to today as I had wanted to finish off an area of weeding…We’re out for a meal next door tonight so it’ll be nice not to need to think about what to prepare for a change!

        Enjoy your weekend peeps…

        • What about e45 GF ? I can use that sometimes but went through a weird skin thing and ended up with dermatology who prescribed epiderm cream, been using it since.

          • Good Morning All Raining here and cold. I'm going to try to make tea cakes today. As you know, my bread making has nearly always been disastrous, but if I'm toasting it anyway, it can't be too bad can it? Have a good day

            • Welcome back, Rary. And congratulations on your anniversary.

              Sorry to hear about the Tesla. I have a friend with one. Beautiful looking car. But I've just done a search. First up, a recent article in a paper with Tony Blackburn, who's complaining about the same difficulty getting parts. Looks like a longstanding problem and not just Brexit related. Good luck.

              • Welcome back Rary.
                Not just Tesla, still problems with loads of things, a lot of the delays came from the lockdowns abroad not brexit and also anything coming from china partly was down to them switching production to other things.

                Came in because it was blowing a gale, cold and grey. Sun has appeared now. Typical.

                  Welcome back Rary and happy anniversary to you both.

                  I’ve bookmarked the cake recipe thanks GF.

                  It’s been either raining, sunny, windy or all 3 together today.

                      Sunny and breezy with no frost here, so its looks like being a good day.

                      It doesn't take long for starlings to clear all the food.

                      enjoy your day

                      • Morning all.

                        Nice and bright at the moment. Due to be cloudy, cold and drizzly in the coming week (no proper rain, unfortunately), so some of today will be spent preparing for that. Plenty of firewood and kindling in, for starters.

                        Plenty to do as well as that. Including another slow cooker experiment. Yesterday's was fair to good, not an outstanding success, though I'm not sure I expected it to be at this time of year. Anyway, just over an hour's gas for the oven saved, so better than nothing.

                        Have a great day, everyone.

                        • Morning, it’s a beautiful day today. Just back last night from my week away. Had a lovely time although I forgot how much like hard work a 3 year old is!! Was hoping for a long lie this morning but nope wide awake at 5am
                          Off to do laundry now and hopefully get it dried outside for a change.
                          Enjoy your Sunday folks x

                              Welcome back Jay. Glad you have the sun…it’s still raining here! Can’t complain though- we did have three warm sunny gardening days this week.
                              I had fancied nipping round a local vide grenier but I doubt there will be any turn out in this rain.
                              Very happy to have an indoor day- always loads to crack on with. Might even sit and read- or knit .

                              We don’t seem to get starlings here- mostly bluetits, jackdaws and buzzards. The sparrows seem to have moved on since we bought the treadle feeder for the chooks. ( I was always concerned they could potentially introduce bird flu or something)

                              Enjoy your day whatever you get up to. Anyone seen the smiles yet this morning?

                              • Good morning had a long lie in this morning, staying in hotels where you can relax is fine but nothing beats your own bed, just having breakfast then going to get ready for church, as it is nice blue sky's here I hope it last so that I can get into the garden later, GF I was recommended head and shoulders for one of the children, doesn't cost a lot so possibly worth a try, personally I would go for an own brand type to try first and if that doesn't work try the more expensive one.
                                No doubt some of you will have gathered I am so against brexit, without getting too political I think it has denied our children so much, with that I say no more about it.
                                Just got an invite up to sons for coffee after church, so garden will have to be put on hold for a time, I have also ordered some gladioli bulbs, as I fancy their cheery display round the garden, so here's hoping they work out as I hope
                                Need to move have a good day and smile🙂🙂🙂
