Good Morning Mumsnet! What's everyone up to on this beautiful day?

[lucysmam]

I'm up, the washer's on, and I'm drinking my first cuppa of the day in my spot at the kitchen table.

I'm going to peg the washing out when it's finished, wash up the few pots, then get the girls up.

Dd2 needs new tights so we're off to town for those (hopefully the last bloody time this year!), and will probably have a wander round the market too. With hindsight, it would have been nice to go to Clifton Park maybe with a picnic 🤔

When we get in dd2 wants to make pizza dough, then her praying mantis' enclosure needs cleaning after her moult on Weds and we'll feed the mantis. Dd1 will hide upstairs 🤣 she likes to look when Pancake's inside her house.

I'll crack on with a couple of minor sewing repairs later on then flake with homemade pizza and 🍷.

What about all of you? 🙂

I’ve got a lovely Saturday lined up!

I’m off to my art lesson this morning.
I’m going to play with my new ice-cream maker this afternoon.
Then I’m going to watch Elbow in an outdoor gig at the seaside with my big sister tonight.

Stellar Saturday!

@ShirleyJackson that does indeed sound like a Stellar Saturday!

We were planning on taking the hounds to a local fun dog show...heatwave will stop that.
Might get the sewing machine out instead and make a dress for DD. Material has been in the cupboard a couple of months.

I'm still in bed! Up soon and shower before going to pack a few food parcels then as much housework as possible before it gets too hot later. Laundry all weekend. Then I need to get online to order loads of stuff from builders merchants for our refurbishment.
Then a nap as DD is out tonight so I'll be staying up late to collect her.
I had wanted to tackle the garden this weekend but that won't be happening until the temperature drops.

Very jealous of everyone doing something lovely today.
I am stuck in bed with covid. Day 6 still testing positive and feeling dreadful. If I have the energy later I might sit in bed and learn how to use watercolour paints properly.

I'm going running with my friend in a minute. Then some yoga and weights. Then undoing all that virtuous behaviour with a day drinking lunch in our local town with my SIL.

😁

Still in bed catching up on Love Island from last night as we were out watching The Strokes. I need to get up a shower soon as am I having my lash extensions infilled at 10.

Once I'm back we are going to go out on our bikes and watch the red arrows land at the local airport. Then tonight we are going to watch Tears for Fears, @ShirleyJackson we saw Elbow on Thursday they were fab!

Oh still deffo go to Clifton park!

Just had my grocery delivery and sitting here with a cuppa before the Krackens awake and start asking for breakfast.

Hi @lucysmam 🙂
I'm first up, house is quiet but i can hear noise from buggerlugs next door. Looking forward to my tea and toast, just can't be bothered making it.
Today we are all off, dc going clubbing tonight, dh and i will go a walk later, its nice and dry in my bit of Scotland, but not roasting like a lot of you in England are getting.
No clue whats for dinner but takeaways are a thing of the past here.

In a while I, the least artistic person in the world, am going to attempt to face paint my 10yo DD as Puumba from the Lion King for her drama show.

Wish me luck. And positive thoughts so it doesn’t just look like some kind of horrifically 1950s American racist TV act…

I'm lounging on the sofa with a coffee while the DCs play upstairs as I had no sleep last night.
We're going to a local carnival later which will hopefully give us a couple of hours out of the house before it gets too hot.
Will pop to the library for new books while in town too.
When we're home the paddling pool is up in the garden so we'll be out in that for the rest of the day!

Hope you feel better soon @Mushroomlady

Having a bit of a lazy morning before we go to a birthday barbecue for a 3 year old we know from church. They are having paddling pools in the garden so that will be good for the kids. It's only round the corner from us and then maybe a walk to the park or on the beach later when DH gets in.

@miltonj town & Clifton Park are in opposite directions though, & I don't drive so can't just nip in quickly for tights before heading elsewhere 🤷‍♀️

@Cotherstone find an image to copy & draw/map it out on her face first with eyeliner? I can't draw, or paint, without an image to refer to.

@Mushroomlady I hope you're feeling better soon! Enjoy your watercolours if you get to them.

Good morning!

I'm going to have a tray of tea and brunch in the garden and then put a wash on, change beds and wash out the kitchen bin, while DH does Swiftwatch (checks the upper storey in the shed for swifts that have fallen through from their nest in the roof) and walks the dogs.
Then I'm going to do more stuff with my dolls houses. I'm gluing hundreds of tiny bricks onto my butcher's shop before putting up the sign I’ve painted.
I also have a roof to paint, now all the tiny shingles are in place. This is the fun bit, where I will make it look weathered and old, with variation in colours and green moss in cracks.
DH will be down at our allotment.
Late afternoon, we're taking a champagne (well, cava) picnic to a performance by a theatre company in the grounds of a large house.
When we get home, we'll just chill with the dogs, possibly with the Great Biscuit Hunt.

I got up a while ago, fed the cats and vacuumed downstairs as girlcat decided to kick her litter all over the floor 🙄

Currently back in bed - I just had croissants (which I shared with the dog!) now on to a cup of coffee.

I was mostly off work yesterday so I've done all my housework and I'm off all weekend so I'm hopefully just going to enjoy doing very little with DH ☺️

@Giggorata your dolls house sounds fabulous! Could we see a picture?

Feeling a bit tired as the tween had a sleepover riot night 😴

We might head to the beach later.

We are going to see a musical in Mcr later , Sister Act, just getting ready for the train in an hour. Really looking fwd to this.

My washing is in.
When that is done I'll roast chickens for my dogs food.
Then I want to dust, sweep, mop & hoover.

Then the day is my own. I might go to the gym or I might stay in all day. I've got exercise equipment here so could do it in front of the telly.

Trying to decide what to watch on Netflix now.

Babysitting my 3 grandsons aged 12 4 and 1 till 6 along with my own 11yr old who will be a help.
Then I have stupidly agreed to go OUT OUT tonight with friends but can imagine I'll be knackered after hot day with 4 kids.

Have been sat in garden drinking tea and listening to music, headphones obviously! for an hour. Have caught up on messaging people. Now browsing MN. Plan on a tidy up in about an hour and then a bit of gardening before it gets too hot, a long evening walk with DH. Next episode of Sherwood, playing Minecraft with friends I’m going to kill an ender dragon later. A band of 11 of us aged 18 to 55.

Just showered and looking through my window at what looks a lovely day. Just hoping it lasts as we have not had a reliable weather day for months becoming windy and cloudy affects any plans we have.

I've deadheaded my roses. Now enjoying the sunshine with a mug of tea.

Will be sewing curtains when it gets too hot to be outside.

Then off to the beach early evening when it's cooled down.
