Mornin n’alln’all

Hope you managed to get back to sleep gf…..2 hrs is deffo not enough

Early start for me as we have our Pneumonia vaccinations in 40 mins.
Feels like it’s the middle of the night as it’s only just starting to get light and only one or two birds have started chirping/ singing.
I often wonder what they are saying.
This morning its most likely “ flippin ‘eck - it’s raining again,”

I best get a wiggle on… enjoy your day

Morning GF and Nicos, morning all.

Sorry to say I had a decent night's sleep. Missy woke me up once, nuzzling in my hair and trying to turn it into felt. She's doing a pretty good job of it too, unfortunately.

Drizzled in the night. Anything is better than nothing. Especially when you're a weed seed.

Another busyish day on the cards. Getting a lot of support from assorted people, which is extremely helpful. One client has completely taken on an admin task that I would have found difficult to resolve.

Anyway, better get on with a few admin jobs of my own. Book the cars in for their MOTs and try and sort out different medication from the doctor, as the pharmacist says they can't be supplied any more. A bit worrying that: if they're so bad they have to be stopped without advance warning, what might have gone wrong while we've been taking them?

Have a great day, everyone.

Morning

Hope you managed to get more sleep GF its frustrating not getting enough sleep.

I do like making soup it only takes a few ingredients and you've got a tasty meal, much nicer than any tin. I find my stick blender handier than the jug on my Kenwood less to wash up as well.

enjoy your day

Good Morning All Heavy rain here. I'm afraid 57 soup is my guilty pleasure Have a good day

[Snoop Puss]

For a guilty pleasure, Flo, it's very innocent!

[Florence Fennel]

For a guilty pleasure, Flo, it's very innocent!

It makes me feel guilty when you're all making soup! I used to make it for myself when I was working, but it's just another dish on Himself's long list of dislikes and I happen to like the taste and convenience of tinned. It's certainly more expensive than it used to be, but so is everything!

I'm cleaning windows this morning. Not my favourite job, but needs must

[Nicos]

OH has just decided to make soup!
Must be your telepathic waves…

Guinea fowl stock, courgette, onion and carrot.

I guess near enough all the stock we make from chicken etc bones ends up as soup….occasionally in risotto.

Oh, forgot to mention, the nurse said that the Prevnar20 is supposed to be a one off for older people but to check with our GP

Oh and Rary…she probably suggested that seeing as we are so young

Good afternoon.

Not a very good morning. Mr GF was really not well when he awoke. It would have been impossible to get him to the surgery so I rang and for maybe the third time ever asked for and got a home visit. He now, already, seems a lot better than he was.

I was going to do a grory hop today but I've put it off now until tomorrow.

[greenishfing]

For a guilty pleasure, Flo, it's very innocent!

Much healthier than mine. (Red wine and chocolate.)

[Florence Fennel]

Much healthier than mine. (Red wine and chocolate.)

Oh GF, it's not my only guilty pleasure, but maybe the only one I'm willing to confess

[Florence Fennel]

Hope Mr GF feels better soon.

Afternoon all. Just back
from a visit to Lindesfarne, Bamburgh Castle
and Alnwick. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hope mr GF is on the mend. My son got his Covid/flu vaccine on Monday and it’s absolutely floored him. At
least that’s what he blaming it on. Mine in a couple of weeks so I'm hoping I won’t be as bad!
Enjoy the rest of your day folks. x

Evenin n’alln’all

Hope Mr GF is feeling better this evening?
Hope you have a better night tonight lottie xx

I was thinking about being grateful for what we have so gave my OH a special cuddle as he’s not feeling very well after his vaccination this morning
Yeh…I’m fine thanks incase anyone was wondering!!!!
Quiet day planned for tomorrow for sure.

That horrendous rain and wind we were expecting didn’t really arrive.
Yep - we had high winds last night, and heavy rain on and off all day but nothing worrying. Quite relieved tbh when we see the pictures of the hurricane hitting Florida…
