DH made part of the chicken run which goes with the new silkie chicken house.

We are going to have spaghetti bolognese for dinner.

@koalarabbit

I find your silkie chickens fascinating!!!!

DH just came from the market with 5,4 kg of limes. He loves his lemonade and will probably makes some jam, too.

KoalaRabbit · 22/10/2020 20:01

Thanks Prokupatuscrakedatus

That's an awful lot of limes but lovely to have in lemonade and jam - my DS loves limes and lemons and just eats them like they were oranges though we have to be careful with quantities as DS eats all the fruit in sight. He'ld be over the moon with 5.4kg. Grin

What will you do @OldLeatherSuitcase?

OldLeatherSuitcase · 22/10/2020 20:13

@Taswama it's a tough choice as I'm not working at the moment but I think I'm going to say no. I'm a contractor and I have a few other interviews coming up so fingers crossed I'll get one of those jobs. If I don't find a contract before Christmas I'll then regret saying no to this one! Might be able to stall a final decision until after the weekend.

OldLeatherSuitcase · 22/10/2020 20:14

KoalaRabbit those chickens are so pretty. Do you have any koalas or rabbits?

KoalaRabbit · 22/10/2020 20:20

Thanks Leather We have an indoor rabbit who is with DS on the sofa a lot and DS also has a secret collection (as he's 13) of a 3 foot koala and a lot of pandas Grin

Also have a cat who is scared of the rabbit and oblivious to the chickens.

BurtonHouse · 22/10/2020 20:25

Only about a dozen more pieces to finish my jigsaw puzzle ......

Squirrel26 · 22/10/2020 20:39

Added coffee to my online shop. Accidentally also added some ice cream. Then some more ice cream, because there was an offer.

OldLeatherSuitcase · 22/10/2020 20:44

KoalaRabbit awwww nice rabbit and cuddly toy collection (and cat too I'm sure).

KoalaRabbit · 22/10/2020 20:58

This is the cat, she'd just taken my pillow space and was working on knocking DH's pillow off with her bum to get the whole pillow space for her and she succeeded. Grin She's just howling now as DH is playing the piano and not with her. Selfish.

Imissmoominmama · 22/10/2020 21:32

There’s a fly that keeps landing on me. I don’t like it.

AnneBoleynsHead · 22/10/2020 21:46

I couldn't be bothered to cook for just me so had porridge for tea.

I have made a to-do list for the weekend. I may have been a little over-ambitious.

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 22/10/2020 21:56

Me, it's my day off work tomorrow and my list is longish.

CruCru · 22/10/2020 22:53

My heated drying rack arrived today. I am pleased with it.

OldLeatherSuitcase · 23/10/2020 00:47

Cute cat KoalaRabbit

CruCru heated drying racks are the best!

Oops formatting fail, I was supposed to put CruCru in bold

KoalaRabbit · 23/10/2020 00:55

Thanks Leather I always get told off by DD if I don't put a picture of the cat up as the cat will be sad. Sad She's 15 and fairly blind now and just lives downstairs with a baby gate to stop the rabbit jumping on her.

One more day to half term here Grin DD has been given details of Duke of Edinburgh and wants to do it, she already does running each morning so that bit is sorted just the volunteering and skills now though covid makes volunteering a challenge.

Weloveoptimus · 23/10/2020 01:12

That decaff tea and orange club biscuit has made my stomach really rumbly.
Really very loud.

KoalaRabbit · 23/10/2020 01:22

DH got me a Muller Light 0% fat chocolate and orange discounted to 15p and he had one too. We both agreed he was robbed. Even the annoying fly isn't interested Smile

Nomnomarrgh · 23/10/2020 01:28

I finished module 2 of my online course at 8:30 pm.

TheSilveryPussycat · 23/10/2020 01:54

I stewed some plums earlier and will be eating some with cornish ice cream while watching the Trump-Biden debate.

MrsGRamsay · 23/10/2020 02:01

I have a rumble tum too (can't be arsed to look up which PP was initially afflicted) however, have no idea why and a bit pissed off.

In ye olde days, any sign of "Rumbly Tum" was dosed with shot of Brandy / Whiskey; I love my parents.

TheSunIsStillShining · 23/10/2020 02:16

Finished binge watching Homeland.
And finished knitting a baby blanket.
New yarn arrived :)
