A quiet and friendly corner of MN to share the very dull day to day happenings of our lives. No criticisms, political discussions or controversies here - unless it is along the lines of "scone" v "scahn" and jam or cream first. Then it's gloves off! 😁

How did this start? I have found v.2, but not the original:

Of course you can @Mumtobabyhavoc Would love to have you here.

Found two geocaches while walking in local woods this morning. Bluebells everywhere were beautiful.

Ooh, that’s a gorgeous photo of the trees @Blorengia I’d love to be able to paint something like that, but I’m not that good. I would be terrified of the mouse though. My bird feeder camera caught two mice feeding there in the middle of the night, so I can’t put any more food out.
The nurse came yesterday and put dressings on both legs. This time I’ve been told that someone will be coming once a week, not two. I’m still not sure what I’m up to!
Last night OH and I were on our own so I decided that we should have sushi, so I ordered for delivery. It was so good, but I ordered way too much. We’ve had the leftovers for lunch and they were still so good.
It’s a gorgeous day here again today, but I still can’t get outside, because none of my shoes will go over the bandages!
I love William Morris designs @MrsSPenguins . He said we shouldn’t own anything that wasn’t either beautiful or useful (I might be paraphrasing here). I must have hundreds of very useful things here!
@Mumtobabyhavoc Hope you are managing to get some sleep. I managed a few hours last night/early morning.

On my way Penguins. What should I bring? 😊
@Blorengia love that pic. 😍 What a great way to ease into the day.
Uman, I haven't had proper sushi for a while, but I do get Cali rolls for the dc here and there.

It's grey and cool here at 11c. It rained a bit overnight, I think. I have a bit of work to do for the activity of Havoc's that all the parents help out in and a med appt early this afternoon. I think I'll get the dc out for a nature walk shortly. Thanks for the inspo Blorengia. 😊

Bluebells are my favourites. I am secretly hoping my garden gets overrun with them.

@BlorengiaI'm not sure about the rodent. We had a whole family of what I was hoping was mice during Covid but I think were realistically rats. They were bold as brass…..
@MrsSPenguins- we had 6 peppers due to a shopping oversight. DH has made ratatouille.
I am going to Rome this weekend with friends I went to school with. Looking forward to it.

Have a wonderful time in Rome @sproutsandparsnips I love Rome.

Looking forward to seeing you soon. At the moment I would suggest maybe bringing your own jet fuel.

I love all things William Morris too @Umanresources especially the strawberry thief in red. I love the new cups, they are from Dunelm but say made by Spode though it's Portmerion now.

Had our lovely new cleaner in for an hour and a half today and nice to have house hoovered.

I got the refund for the faulty tap today which is good as it was £300 and even better DH bought the new tap. We have a new tap and I have sanded down were the leak was on the worktop and re varnished it twice and looks ok again. So we have plumber in tomorrow to put that back in and will have our upstairs sink back. The black bins have been emptied, and they took everything, I think it was over the supposed 30kgs limit. I turned over our mattress and mattress topper and it's much better. Was wondering if needed a new mattress but no will be fine for a while now.

The cat has a new trick. When DH is in the kitchen the cat puts his big front paws in DHs belt then swings himself around, all 8kgs of him. Watched Below Deck, there's too much drama for me this series but enjoy it. Also watched Reagan film. Lawn is looking good and DS is being careful just walking around paths. He took a 3am bath.

Hello @MargaretThursday 👋 It's been a while, I think?
Sprouts, I'm a bit jealous you can pop over to Rome like that. Have a wonderful time!
Penguins, you definitely deserve cleaning help with all the work you've been doing.
The price of gas (petrol) here is $2 p/litre, that's close to $8 p/gallon, or around £4.33, I think. A bit eye watering.

Waves across the miles to Angiepangy and Blorengia.

DD made another loaf today. The kitchen has a faint smell of buttermilk and the starter (now occupying two jars) is bubbling nicely.

Our weather is so unpredictable that I still haven't washed and put away my winter puffy coat. In fact, there are five coats and jackets of varying degrees of warmth piled on a chair in the kitchen, because getting the coat or jacket situation right (after checking my weather app) is important, and I don't want to have to raid the coat closet every morning.

@Mumtobabyhavoc <waves back> I lerk more than I post.
