Mornin n'alln'all
First up, best dressed for me then?

Very dark and wet and dismal day for me here...just about to light the wood stove and hunker down for the day!
Think it's a rice-pudding type day today.

I've put an alarm on for 5 mins before the Armistice Hour.
Don't want to miss paying my respects this year....must wear my poppy too.

Right...stuff to do....
See ya later peeps...

Good Morning All My youngest son's birthday today and his son is at the cenotaph this morning with the Army Cadets. Raining here. Have a lovely Sunday

[Thelma Sanders]

Mornings!
Rained all night here as well so it's mild this morning under the cloud, Mollycat is happy because the door is open for a while. Off in a mo to get the paper and that's probably as far as I'll go today...

Have a good'un whatever you're up to

Errr...nothing further to report, today looks to be exactly the same, plus showers, when I was hoping to get to the plot

[burnie]

Quiet here today, SWMBO obeyed is still in Birthday shopping mode, off to the House of Bruar today(at least they have a fishing department and a nice café lol).

[Nannysally99]

Morning, what a difference a nights sleep makes.
Rained and hailed yesterday afternoon, evening and night.
Today? Beautiful bright sunshine.
‘‘Tis lovely from indoors, and not too cold outside.
Got a lamb casserole going in the slow cooker, kitchen smells lovely
Have a lovely day folks, and big hugs to those that don’t.

Good afternoon, raining here today, as its Remembrance Sunday when I first went out this morning it was dry but by the time it came for the organisation's marching to the war memorial it was raining, one of our grandsons is in the scouts and he was absolutely soaked, the past four years it has been cold but dry but sadly not today, but I suppose a small price to pay to say thank you

[Mr Bones]

Had a bed delivered today from Ikea, it arrived at ten past seven. Mrs B was really excited at having a new bed, I was really excited at all the cardboard for the compost . I'm glad we've had a new one the old one was starting to give me back ache.

[Snadger]

I have various squash that I have harvested which look to be the same variety. Some are yellow which I have eaten but some are green and of the same size and variety? Are they still edible?

[veggiechicken]

Evening All,
Snadge, they change colour as they get older - like hair (if it doesn't fall out first).

I've had a fun day visiting my Mum. Only popped in for a chat before the carers arrived - wasn't expecting the kitchen floor to be wet. Turned out the upright freezer door was slightly open because there was a small iceberg inside, stopping the top drawer from sliding in properly, which meant the door was slightly open. (Did I just say that?)

I emptied the freezer, all the food was still frozen fortunately and set about defrosting it using the only implement I could find - a plastic scoop - it was a long job.
Neither of the plastic washing up bowls would fit between the freezer shelves because there was too much ice so I couldn't put bowls of hot water inside. By the time I'd finished, I was soaking wet and my knuckles were raw from scraping along the iced up shelves.
The carers came - and went - and I was still grovelling around in the puddles.
Eventually, I went back into Mum and she said" Hello, have you been out shopping?"

Never mind, I eventually made it to Morris before they closed and bought 9 packs of Bounty and Mars bars for 30p each, reduced from £1.50. That cheered me up and since I don't believe in dieting. I think I'll have one now.

Hope you're having a super evening - do you realise its Monday tomorrow!!

VC...I have been known to resort to the hair dryer when the ice gets too thick in the freezer.
I know the health and safety risk but it saves your hands and knuckles freezing.
