Morning all.
Another bitty day here. Sunny, cloudy cant make its mind up day.
Just pottering, done kitchen cabinet doors, put more drain cleaner down just pottery.
No big plans.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/04/2026 13:36

Afternoon everyone 😊
Sounds like one of those can’t make its mind up days @Thebookofcarolagain. You’ve been productive though, cupboards and drains sorted out nice one!
Pottering days are so nice, no pressure to do anything. Hope the sun comes out a bit more for you , l have put the washing out in the vain hope it will dry 🙄. I’m taking it easy today , we did go shopping really early but we were back home by 11.15 . I got up early and got going because of the terrible traffic yesterday so we learned our lesson.

Meh it's foggy and cold now @DirtyGertiefromno30 just awful.
Have cleaned living room windowsill where my succulents sit. I forgot to do it before I put them back. Gets a bit damp with all the foliage so gave it a good scrub, dusted living room and have everything ready to make chicken korma for tea.
Sitting down with a coffee first.
I bet everywhere is busy this weekend @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Pity about the weather though, not much fun for kids going to a beach town for a holiday with this weather.

Thebookofcarolagain · 04/04/2026 14:05

And it's raining! Big surprise.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/04/2026 14:23

Wow, you’ve really made the most of a dreary day @Thebookofcarolagain Cleaning the living room windowsill where your succulents sit, especially with all the damp from the foliage is a job well done & dusting and getting everything ready for Chicken Korma curry on top of that is very impressive ! You’ve earned that coffee break! It does sound like everywhere will be busy this weekend, especially with the holiday crowds, and it’s a shame about the weather. Foggy, cold, and raining is definitely not ideal for anyone with kids heading to a beach . At least you’re cosy inside with a nice coffee and a plan for a lovely tea 😋
I think we are having sausages and mash tonight but first a hot cross buns and a cuppa ! 🍪☕

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 04/04/2026 14:39

Korma is on, I put a tin of chickpeas in just to see if they taste better spiced up. Not a big fan of plain chickpeas, ds2 likes hummus but ds1 never bothers with it. Will see.

I should have got HCBs yesterday @DirtyGertiefromno30 but I walked past then thinking I will get them on the return down the aisle and forgot. Oh well less to munch!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/04/2026 15:42

Well done on the Korma @Thebookofcarolagain l bet it will be delicious 😋 l like Chickpeas and think they will be nice and go well in the Korma 👍🤞
Awbooo you didn't forget the HCB 😱
I only have 2 pkts left and l am not going to be sorry when they have gone tbh 🤣
I have scoffed a few too many l think 🤔

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 04/04/2026 16:49

😁 me too so probably for the best I didn't get any @DirtyGertiefromno30
Korma was nice, very filling though. Chickpeas didn't really taste of anything but the spices so something healthy added without fuss😁 Am stuffed and didnt even have a big portion.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/04/2026 17:25

Chickpeas are great for that aren't they @Thebookofcarolagain, they just soak up whatever flavour you throw at them so you get the goodness without even noticing. And if you’re full off a smaller portion that’s excellent 👌 👍
Probably a good job you didn’t get anymore HCB then 🤣
I have just had a raspberry cream turnover for my tea and a cuppa. It was yummy 🤤 😋
Wind has got right up here !

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 04/04/2026 18:29

Wind is gusting off and on here too @DirtyGertiefromno30 supposed to get worse later.

Popped into ds1s room to say I was going for a shower and see if he needed the loo. His plate is sitting there with a little pile of what I presume are chickpeas on it🤣🤣 (couldn't see from door) Wonder if he even tried them? 🤔
All set for the night. Doing no more till ds2 comes home.
Ooh I haven't had a turnover in yonks, raspberry cream...yummy.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/04/2026 19:37

I burst out laughing at the chickpeas just sat there on his plate @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣
I bet he’s picked around them and decided they’re not for him without even trying them you have got to lol 🤣.
Sounds like you’re all sorted for the evening , best to get everything done before Ds2 gets back 😊
The wind is really picking up here too, feels like one of those nights where you just want to stay cosy .
Just waiting for the Southampton v Arsenal FA quarter final , well l am not waiting but DH is waiting with baited breath he's supported Southampton for 55 years 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 04/04/2026 20:26

Fingers crossed for Southampton then @DirtyGertiefromno30 😄 He deserves a win after supporting them 55 years!
Had another sliver of cake, I am being remarkably good about it! Wish kids would hurry up and finish it🤣

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/04/2026 21:20

Omg you are so restrained @Thebookofcarolagain🤣
Thank you for the support for Southampton 👏😁
DH is obsessed 😂

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 04/04/2026 22:28

Why do my posts stay in the text box after I posted? Its so annoying.
Did you win @DirtyGertiefromno30
I am being very restrained, not like me at all! 🤣

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 04/04/2026 22:37

Oh God knows@Thebookofcarolagain
I give up on here l really do . It's all over the shop 🙄😂
Yes thank you Southampton won so DH is very happy😁👏

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 04/04/2026 23:22

Yeah that will put him in a good mood, quick think of a job that needs doing tomorrow 😉
Winds getting up here, supposed to go through the night. Oh joy.
Ds2 got a lift home before it really started but he has a bad stomach hope it's not a rotten bug.

FridayNighFeeling · 05/04/2026 07:21

Morning ladies, hope you survived storm Dave intact. We've not been affected really though a bit dull and cold. Rain due this morning apparently.

Off to have chocolate for breakfast Wink

Thebookofcarolagain · 05/04/2026 08:04

Morning all.
Survived thanks @FridayNighFeeling wild last night and still windy today but sunny!
Enjoy your choc 😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/04/2026 09:21

Good morning 😊
Happy Easter Sunday everyone 😊
Haha yes that’s a good plan, strike while the mood lasts and keep my DH busy today @Thebookofcarolagain 😂
The wind sounded awful your way too.
It's all gone now though thankfully.
Glad Ds2 got home before it kicked off properly, that was good timing. Hope his stomach settles and it’s nothing nasty going round. Could just be something he’s eaten, fingers crossed he feels better today bless him.
Looks promising out fingers crossed 🤞 😁
Off to see Mum in a bit l will return 😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 05/04/2026 12:15

Looks lovely and sunny out but its cold!
Took ds2 to work, he feels better just a bit bleh. Didn't come to anything thank goodness.
Washing is out fingers crossed it's not blown into next week. Wind is still quite strong here @DirtyGertiefromno30
Did a bit more deadheading and checked my bulbs. Have more daffs coming out, triple headed ones, lovely. And theres a big fat tulip bud I wish would open pdq 😄

Thebookofcarolagain · 05/04/2026 12:35

Arghhh just got a coffee and sat down, looked outside....its raining! Mad dash to get washing. it's bucketing rain and wind is howling like a banshee again. 😡

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/04/2026 15:36

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Mum was fine there thankfully, we stayed a long time with her because it was Easter Sunday bless her ❤️
Not long come home and had a cuppa and a cream horn yummy 😋 🤤.
Glad your Ds2 is feeling a bit better @Thebookofcarolagain, sounds like it was just one of those off days thankfully but poor him having to return to work today 🤗
You did well getting some bits done in the garden before it changed again. The Daffs sound lovely, especially the triple headed ones, they always look so full. Bet that Tulip is teasing you, it will probably pop open the minute the weather settles.
Typical timing with the coffee though, you finally sit down and then have to leg it back out again. Hope you managed to rescue the washing before it got too drenched.

OP posts:
DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/04/2026 15:44

Glad you didn't have this terrible storm Dave @FridayNighFeeling 😁
Hope you enjoyed your chocolate breakfast 😋🤤🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 05/04/2026 16:22

The washing had only been out about 5 minutes when it started raining and i ran out again so was saved before it was drenched @DirtyGertiefromno30 The weather changed in an instant!
Been sitting under my fleece with heat pad on it was so cold!

A cream horn? Ooh yum. Where are you getting all these treats from? No fair😄
