Good Morning All! What are you all up to today?

[lucysmam]

I'm just drinking my first cuppa of the day, in my conservatory spot, with girl cat 😊. She's ekekek-ing at the birds using the bath at the end of the garden. Dd2's up and out already to go to the last of the half term revision sessions - history and maths today. Dd1's working again - she'll be rolling in it for a few months but also needs to save towards second year.

Dd2 needs to leave a little early as she's got a haircut booked for 12:30. Hopefully she enjoys the experience - she hasn't been to an actual hairdresser in many years! I'm going with her for moral support/to pay, then we're heading to town for thread to make a minor adjustment to her prom dress, and foundation for her make up.

I'm going to move at 9 to get breakfast. Fruit and yogurt this morning I think 😋. Then I'll get dressed and potter between house and garden until I leave to meet dd.

I wanted to turn over one of the flower beds but the ground's a bit hard for me to manage that so I'll just continue tidying for now. I took all the rogue nails and screws out of shed and fence yesterday & it looks much tidier for it!

I'm not sure what's for tea yet. I did a BIG shop on Thursday afternoon so plenty to pick from. We'll see later. The rest of the evening will be showers and either read or crochet before bed 💤.

What about all of you? 🙂

@lucysmam we are off to see Cuban Brothers. Its a tiny venue and they are very funny. We found them on a tiny stage at Hyde Park last year and it was just a brilliant, brilliant laugh.

Now that I am up and about I have realised I have some admin to do for my volunteer job. I've just watered the garden and the bind weed is back with a vengeance so I will need to go out and start pulling that up before it ruins all the seedlings in the wildflower bed. I foresee a further trip to the garden centre 😎

@Kim82 I'll be interested to see how commuting goes for your dd! Dd1 was pondering the benefits of commuting & using air b&b type affairs but likes being in London too much to do that I think.

I'm very proud of my horse. Today I got him down the lane on his own, he was very anxious and nappy but I persevered and managed ok in the end. He's an anxious horse but is slowly learning to trust me and its so rewarding.

We're sat in a supermarket cafe with a cuppa having just done the weekly shop.

Then haircut at 11am, back to the yard at 3pm for a whole host of jobs and back home for tea.

Good morning Squad

Im in town having breakfast alone and it’s quite nice! Just gearing up for some pottering in town. I’m rarely here so want a nose about.

Will pick up DS in a few hours. Lots of football today so will half watch that and do my course work. Need to pop to my sisters to pick up stuff.

Garden needs a water later and I want time with my book. Not sure about tea but now in the mood for chicken satay after reading about it here!

@FamingolosForDays I do like a tiny venue! Have a fab evening. I hear you re. bindweed - there is that and brambles in abundance here 🙄. A shame because the flower bed is full of established plants/shrubs but I've taken most of it right down so I can see and keep on top of the unwanted stuff <sigh>.

I've been up a while, tidied the kitchen, hung out some washing and just about to start cutting the grass. Got a fair bit to cut and I'll need to do it in stages as will need to recharge the mower batteries a few times!

Will head to the gym later with DH for a swim. DS will probably come too. He's still in bed at the moment - his only lie in during half term as he's been on a course. The mower won't wake him... nothing does!

Then it's a quiet evening in. Will probably all watch a film together, then a fairly early night as we're travelling to visit family tomorrow

Morning Lucysmam and all.

We’re off to visit my parents. My dad turned 75 this week so big family meal out tonight at a local Italian restaurant. We had to preorder food so I’m having calamari then penne salmone which is in a vodka sauce and really lovely.

I’ve got surgery on Tuesday and I’m going to stay at my parents’ house after that so having to pack absolutely everything I will need for this weekend, my hospital stay AND recovery afterwards. DH can always bring me more stuff from home after though so I’m focusing more on the first two things. I haven’t had to pack a hospital bag since I had my kids though and they’re 22 and 18 (and I didn’t even stay in overnight after having the youngest LOL).

Good morning everyone, it’s a lovely sunny but cooler day here and the washing is drying on the line.
Dh has just left with bigger dog for a walk, he took tiddler out early.
I’m faffing around, I have tidied and cleaned and I am now enjoying scrambled eggs on toast before returning to my embroidery.
I don’t have anything much going on here, my life is very quiet 😊
Jacket potatoes with coronation chicken for dinner, I’ll probably just have the chicken with a salad.
i need to look for some dressings for my leg; I had a BCC excised earlier this week and the instructions say to do daily dressings. There are 10 stitches, it’s looking clean and healthy but the bruising is quite noticeable.
I hope your surgery goes well @Tarkan
