Urmmm… more rain!…well, that certainly wasn’t forecast!

Bren , we have my MIL’s wind up clock needing repairing. We took it to a local shop specialising in clocks and watches ( sadly now closed down) only to find they couldn’t fix it as it didn’t have a metric sized mechanism inside.
We really should get it fixed- it had a lovely slow, gentle tick.

Morning all.

it was very misty earlier, and the sky is a bit of a grey duvet, but there's not a breath of wind to stir the trees.

The washing machine is earning its keep today, and the vaccuum is back in the cupboard having a well-earned rest, everywhere was dusted yesterday, so I'm feeling incredibly virtuous. Going to have a second coffee now, and maybe a H/M cheese scone. I keep them in the freezer (along with the plain scones, fairy cakes, and biscuits), so I won't be tempted too often.

Good Morning All Cloudy but dry here. Have a good day

Morning all.

Anyone thinking of getting chiming clocks mended should do it sooner rather than later. We had terrible difficulties trying to get my mum's fixed, not so much because of the parts but simply finding someone who could do it. Surprisingly expensive, too...

We had a goodly amount of rain in the night. Dull and damp at the moment, but not actually raining. More forecast over the next few days.

On the cards for today, some domestics, some work to get a bit of the kitchen back in place (permanent kitchen next spring, I reckon), afternoon nap and cuddles with Missy. She's turning into a proper fusspot. But the sooner we can stop her walking across the table or jumping onto my keyboard the better.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good afternoon.

Due to events beyond my control I got hardly any sleep last night. This morning there was something I needed urgently. There was only one shop locally that I knew would have it. I was outside at 9am when the shop was due to open. There was a sign on the door saying they were closed today, reopening Monday. I was thinking that I would have to go quite a long way when I decided to call in a very small shop near where I live, on the off-chance that they might have what I wanted. They didn't actually have what I wanted but had something that is actually better. I have spent all morning washing and ignoring the iron which is not going to guilt trip me into using it.

I think a very early night is on the cards for tonight, if I can stay awake until then.

^Hope everything's OK GF and that you get a good night's sleep tonight.

Thanks for the right word, LD.
