Afternoon everyone 🤗
Blimey, no wonder your back’s kicking off at you @Thebookofcarolagain, you’ve been on a one woman garden makeover mission 😂. Coffee and cake refuelling is absolutely required at this point. It's a necessity! 😁😋☕🍪
Typical weather, lures you out then goes nah, not today, just as well the washing’s ready 🙄
WiFi clearly just fancied a little break this morning , at least it’s pulled itself together now 🤞
The pots aren’t going anywhere you can rest up now and chill out treat yourself to a nice cuppa and a cakey 😁😋

Been to see my friend and had a cuppa then shopping in Aldi hone for a cuppa and toast before more footy yay😂🙄

Finished out back, its now in some kind of tidiness 😄 I stacked pots, emptied old compost, swept up. Found a blooming toad up top end when I was moving tools, bags of rocks, thought it was a leaf under the sprayer and tried to sweep it up! So then took a deep breath and gathered up some of the leaves i had just tidied up and dumped them on him. (Also swept up a dried up dead toad too, euuuuwww)
Was gonna tackle my snail bucket but my back was broken by then so that can wait.
Washing is out.
Kids came back just after 12 so have heard all thier adventures.
Dozed off on sofa and woke up frozen! Have had coffee and got heat pad on my back. Sun actually reappeared but was still cold, shouldn't be allowed.
Was watching Littke Mountain Ranch @DirtyGertiefromno30 ;have you seen it lately? I have missed a few...they are going to sell the ranch! and move somewhere with a better climate in Canada. Still will have a garden in which they aim to grow food to sell instead of just for themselves, plus a milk cow etc. Thier kids are growing and thier priorities are changing. Good luck to them. But Chelsea is still gardening this year just a slightly smaller scale. Been catching up her videos from first garden walk and where she plans to put things. Love her garden (but the work!!!)

Watch her and ignore the footy 😉

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 26/04/2026 15:27

You've grafted big time today @Thebookofcarolagain, no wonder your back’s kicking off! Big win getting it all somewhat tidy though well done you 👏 👏
The Toad bit made me lol 😂 leaf one minute, alive the next! And a dead one too, lucky you not !🤢
Good call leaving the snail bucket, heat pad and coffee is the way to go now.
Typical sun though , pops out just to lie to you and still blinking freezing 🙄.
Not caught up with Little Mountain Ranch, that’s a helluva big move for them. Makes sense though with their changing circumstances.
Glad the boys are home safe and sound bless them . I’ll have a nose on
YT and ignore the footy 😂

I made stir fry chicken in oyster and spring onion sauce with noodles @DirtyGertiefromno30 great minds...
Still blooming cold.

Time for jammies and extra layers !

Cold here too, heating on 🥶

Thebookofcarolagain · 26/04/2026 21:38

I am layered up so no heating on @DirtyGertiefromno30 . It seems a bit milder now not as chilly as earlier.
Got to get a few bits of shopping tomorrow, oh joy. And go to chemist. Just a pia.

Oh the chemist , hope it's not a complete waste of time for you @Thebookofcarolagain🙄
Glad it's not too cold with you now. Turned our heating off now .

Good morning everyone 🌞
Another beautiful day here sunny and blue skies 🔆
My elderly neighbour just fell and hit her head bless her so we picked her up and took her in and sorted her out until her daughter came to stay with her.
Poor thing, she was ok afterwards when her daughter came 🤗
Just off to see Mum hope everyone is ok 😊.

Thebookofcarolagain · 27/04/2026 10:05

Morning all.
Overcast here, loads of clouds.
Was up during night after a ridiculous dream so slept in a bit this morning.
Good job you were there for your neighbour @DirtyGertiefromno30 glad she is OK.
Off shopping later. Dont need much thankfully.

Thebookofcarolagain · 27/04/2026 13:38

Crikey I was back from shopping before the washer finished! 😁😁
Didn't get a lot but got some onion bhajis, veg samosas, tandoori naans and dips as a treat in Aldi special selection area.

Gonna walk down with ds2 when he goes to work to go to chemist. Help!
Washing out, 2nd load on fingers crossed weather stays sunny.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/04/2026 13:53

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Sounds like your brain put on a full nightmare last night @Thebookofcarolagain😱 no wonder you had a lie in 🤗
Aw thank you l am so glad my neighbour was ok, such a relief 😮‍💨
Your getting your shopping made me smile because that’s a proper lovely picky tea 😋 yummy ! Bhajis, samosas, naans and dips sounds lush especially if they were that limited edition curry range Aldi have in on times, DH had a Lamb Rogan Josh he really enjoyed last week 😋
Love that you got back before the washer finished, that almost never happens for us either 😂! Fingers crossed the sun holds for the washing.
Hope the chemist trip is ok and Ds2 keeps you company bless him . A busy but satisfying day for you 👍
Mum was fine there thankfully ate and drank well for me and it's a gorgeous day here sunny and warm 19C .
Just had crumpets and a nice cuppa tea 😋 ☕

Thebookofcarolagain · 27/04/2026 15:34

Phew I am alive ! Knackered but alive. Got my meds, but haven't checked..I really should have. Lovely day now, was kinda melting by time I got home.
Had a coffee at the beach then found out the public loo was blocked! Tried the ones at end of harbour...£1 fee but only card! Arghh.
Sea was having fun crashing around. Swan was there again.

What a mission @Thebookofcarolagainglad you survived it! Nothing worse than shut loos or ones that want a card payment just to have a blinking wee ! A pound for a wee just typical of councils 🙄
Sounds like a lovely time though coffee by the beach, crashing waves, and your swan again 🦢🌊 even if you melted on the way back 😁
Now feet up you’ve earned it!
Just got the washing in and put it away, my friend called in for a cuppa before that and we sat outside it was so nice 🙂.
Beautiful pictures too linearly forgot to say ❤️

Thebookofcarolagain · 27/04/2026 17:18

Well that was fun...not. ds1 did the gun bit after i did one little bit, it was so hard to squeeze! Sealant done although it's a very small nozzle so i might do a second one as have another tube. Not convinced it will hold up. Will be another day though.

Have my scan at hosp tomorrow oh joy. Have to fast till after it, boo.
Nice to get a sit in garden for a chat @DirtyGertiefromno30

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/04/2026 18:42

Blimey, sounds like a proper battle with that sealant @Thebookofcarolagain those guns are ridiculous to squeeze! At least it’s done though, even if it needs a second go another day no rush.
Hope the scan goes ok tomorrow 🤞 the fasting bit is always the worst part, typical isn’t it. Get yourself a nice treat after to make up for it 😋
Garden sit down was perfect 😁
Pizza for tea 😋

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 27/04/2026 19:37

Well those Indian things were a bit tooooooo spicey for me @DirtyGertiefromno30 , shame but even with the dips i couldn't finish them. Never had those type of thing so spicey before. Had 2 blueberry pancakes after. 😄
Need to do dishes then get scrubbed and pjs on. Getting cooler now.

FridayNighFeeling · 27/04/2026 20:26

Happy Monday you two. Glad you could help the neighbour @DirtyGertiefromno30 and that your Mum is OK too.

I don't like too spicy either @Thebookofcarolagain and Shock at £1 for a wee! Outrageous.

Beautiful sunshine here - got washing out and dry but then looked like rain, so got it all in - nothing came of it...

Thebookofcarolagain · 27/04/2026 20:42

Was very light drizzle here too before I went for my shower but its come to nothing @FridayNighFeeling
Its supposed to be dull first thing but brighten up tomorriw afternoon. Hope it's not raining in the morning for going to hosp.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 27/04/2026 22:23

Oh no, that’s disappointing when you’re looking forward to them and they turn out too spicy @Thebookofcarolagain! At least you gave them a go and the blueberry pancakes sound like the perfect rescue food 😋
You’ve had a full on day, so dishes, a good scrub and cosy PJs was definitely the way to go. It’s definitely turning cooler now , that little drizzle never really amounts to much but makes everything feel so damp.
Fingers crossed it stays dry for you in the morning and brightens up like they say. Hope the hospital visit goes smoothly too 🤞
It's always the same @FridayNighFeelingwe think it's gonna rain get it all in and it stays dry , leave it out , brave the threat of rain and it always rains . Just can't win 😂
Thank you re my mum and neighbour they were both ok thankfully.
Just had a lovely cup of hot chocolate time for bed 🛏️
Hope everyone gets a good night's sleep 💤
