Its Friday, the weather is beautiful.

I'm sat um the garden with one too many purple violet gin and tonics and my DP is alseeo on the sofa for a pre-skittles nap!

I'm bored, someone entertain me! What are we all doing?!

Heres a picture of my G&T for 'context'
-i just want to show off my berries-

Someone bloody talk to me.

Ah sorry didn’t mean to make you jealous.

DS is absolutely wonderful, he makes my heart burst with joy.

He is a little grouchy today though which isn’t like him as I’m on antibiotics and they’re upsetting his tummy.

Littlepond · 19/04/2019 19:19

@iamnotpatient I would consider adopting you but the fact that you are TTC puts me off, I’m not ready to be a granny 😂 DS has to be dragged off his x-box but when he is he is actually good company and very interesting to chat to, he is a history nerd and teaches me a lot!!

I am on a mission as I have hoards descending Sunday and Monday.
DH is at the supermarket.
I am chilling the base for a hot cross cheesecake.
Baking sponges for a 3d Easter bunny cake.
Washing 3 loads of washing and...
Looking at a rose vegetable tart. How difficult could it be to make? I could make it tomorrow to serve cold Monday.

Finfintytint · 19/04/2019 19:23

Shrewsbury is a fab place. Enjoy.

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:24

@sexnotgender no need to apologise, sounds lovely! I hope you get better soonSmile

@littlepond damn! Ask you dont get..
Your sounds sounds like my DP, obsessed with the playstation bit while hes not fixated with black ops has quite a joy to talk to. I do love a bit of history!

@boredboredbored

@Panticles (attempts to derail thread) Please tell me more about this hot cross bun cheesecake please...

gggrrrargh · 19/04/2019 19:29

I’ve got a bottle of gin rhubarb liqueur I was given as a present, it’s had one glass tried and then shoved to the back of the cupboard in disgust. I’ve gone for a cold beer Smile

My concrete yard is never visited except for the (admittedly extremely useful) clothes line. I still haven’t managed to clear the very last bag of soggy leaves away as there’s a huge tree on the other side that I can’t see but generously gives me most of its leaves. Grin

Finfintytint · 19/04/2019 19:29

Bored bored, have you been to the indoor market in Shrewsbury? Fab food.

bibbitybobbityyhat · 19/04/2019 19:30

I'm hovering around in the kitchen while the ragu sauce I cooked simmers. Probably needs another hour before the spaghetti goes on.

Dh is working for tomorrow's shift on his laptop in the sitting room.

Dd is revising upstairs.

Ds is out playing football in the park.

Have had a very nice good Friday featuring much outdoor plant nurturing and mucking about with my teeny tiny greenhouse.

ScotchPieSingleMalt · 19/04/2019 19:31

Hello! Can I join you?
I'm on the world's longest train ride home zzzzzz from seeing my lovely BF. Can you guess where? It's lovely out there but I can only see the view from the flipping choo choo.

IAmNotPatientOrPregnant · 19/04/2019 19:31

@happyhillock
Sounds like a lovely relaxed day tomorrow! I'm off to do a carboot in monmouthshire. Hopefully the weather is good enough so I can catch a slight tan for my pasty body!

The hot cross bun cheesecake has a base made with cinnamon biscuits and mixed peel. They are individual ones baked and the marked with crosses when chilled.

elephantoverthehill · 19/04/2019 19:32

gggrrrargh I found out last weekend that the way to drink rhubarb gin is with dry ginger. Even better if your Ds makes it for you.

ScotchPieSingleMalt · 19/04/2019 19:35

Hot cross bun cheesecake and simmering ragu is making my mouth water!

Had a very spongy panini and glass of red earlier. Doing a bit of work before I get back to a revising DD, too!

BrigitsBigKnickers · 19/04/2019 19:36

I've been sailing with DH.

We both had a laugh as we left the marina at some people on another boat in full wet weather gear. Got a few miles down the Blackwater in shorts and t shirts before succumbing to the fleece and then a few more miles for the full coats! Was very cold out at sea and not the nice 12 knot winds we were promised ( 25 more like) Sea was very lumpy! Anyway we arrived at our destination and are now sitting on the deck enjoying a drink! Pootling off down the Deben tomorrow - hope it's a bit calmer!

Littleelffriend · 19/04/2019 19:37

Aw thanks I’m not sad it’s just been so long since I’ve been on my own I don’t know what to do. I cleaned the oven 😀but wine now. Cheers and happy Easter

gggrrrargh · 19/04/2019 19:41

@elephantoverthehill aah okay that actually sounds nice, ginger is usually a good addition to drinks so I can see that. Thanks I shall try again Smile

I went for drinking it a) neat and b) with an attitude of a suspicious toddler being given a new vegetable so it was doomed from the beginning!

ScotchPieSingleMalt · 19/04/2019 19:42

Brigit Sailing, fabulous! What a lovely day for it. Wonder where these places are... Did a bit of boating with OH last week and going to visit his boat again soon. I miss it already! Lumpy sea sounds a bit scary. Enjoy the deck!

Littleeel I will be on my lonesome, too. Kids back late tomorrow but otherwise....
