Yes it's that time again another thread ! 😁

Glad you are back home@Thebookofcarolagain🤗
Nice cuppa and a little chill out for you is on the cards l hope 🤗
Had a piece of coffee cake and another cuppa yummy 😋

Glad to hear you're still with us @bookbook and hope everyone is settling in well.

Booked car into garage on Thursday. Oil light keeps coming on despite being topoed up last week. Hoping it just an oil change...fingers crossed.
Being totally lazy so far, still walking like a 100 yr old, trying to stay awake, woke up at 6.30 for some reason. Was bright sunshine then!

That oil light would annoy anyone @Thebookofcarolagain, especially after topping it up 🙄. Hopefully it’s just something simple like an oil change or a dodgy sensor, nothing serious🤞.
You’ve earned a lazy day if you’re moving like a hundred year old bless you ! Your body’s clearly telling you to slow down, so absolutely no guilt.
The early wake ups are a pain though, especially when it looks so nice outside.
If all you manage is sofa and tea today, that’s fine give yourself a break today 🤗
Just going to have a jkt potato and cheese and a nice cuppa 😋
Footy on tonight 🤣

Well I certainly followed your advice @DirtyGertiefromno30 😄 Fell asleep for about half an hour! Tea is on pork chops in oven just need to do tatties for me.

Not more footy! I think you should find something very noisy to do 😉🤣🤣

Glad you had a little Nap@Thebookofcarolagain💤
You tea sounds delicious 😋
Footy on 🤣
I am on my phone so l am ok but the chanting of the lpswitch fans is doing all our heads in 😱🤣

Tea wasn't too shabby @DirtyGertiefromno30 . I had a pecan maple plait for afters 😋
Dishes done, pjs on. Was gonna water garden today but I couldn't face carrying all those watering cans, am still stiff and sore, will do it tomorrow.

Oh pecan plait @Thebookofcarolagain 😋😁
Hope you will be better tomorrow 🤞

Just watched King Charles speech at the WH. What a masterclass in roasting trumpy while as polite as you could be🤣🤣
Trumpy will be furious once someone explains it to him😁
Got a list of life admin to do, yeuk i hate it but needs must.
Days not too shabby fingers crossed.

Good morning everyone ☀️
Beautiful day here ☀️
That speech was brilliant @Thebookofcarolagain🤣 all very polite on the surface but definitely some classy digs in there. Very subtle shade, done properly. You’re probably right though, it’ll go over some heads and then cause drama once it sinks in 😁
Life admin is the worst, always looks simple until you start it. Hope you get through it without too much pain.
Glad your day’s not too bad either, fingers crossed it stays that way 👍
We are off to see Mum now have a good day everyone 🤗

My head is mince @DirtyGertiefromno30 am trying to order pallet collars. Found a website, good reviews, recycled products, takes small orders...put 4 in the order, chose postage....£119 postage 😱 collars were only £32!!! Er no!

Omg that's a real shock @Thebookofcarolagain 😮
Definitely not worth it 👍
on our way home now, l think some Garabaldi and a nice cuppa . DH bought Garabaldi from the market yesterday 😂

Ooihhh those garibaldis have a hold on you @DirtyGertiefromno30 do you need sn intervention? 🤣
I am now looking for loo seats. I find one, looks and sounds good then I read the reviews! Fgs does nothing work as it should for more than 3 weeks?
Any tips?
Have washed kitchen floor, and having a coffee to calm my nerves!

Haha the garibaldis are definitely in charge @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣 intervention might be needed!
Loo seats are a nightmare, the reviews put you off everything. Go for a soft close with metal hinges and adjustable fittings, they last longer and fit better so DH says 😱🤣
Kitchen floor done though, that’s a win. Enjoy that coffee and a pecan plait 😋?
Done 2 loads of washing and drying and put it away brilliant achievement 🤣
Going to have a chicken salad fir tea and maybe a Garabaldi or two 😋😂

Will send the men in white coats round to rescue you @DirtyGertiefromno30 😁😆
I had boiled eggs and a pecan plait for tea.
Dishes done now chilling in my pjs.

Gotta take care to garage in morning, oh joy oh well the walks good for me! (Or not according to all the tai chi adverts i get!)

I might take you up on that rescue mission @Thebookofcarolagain🤣.
Boiled eggs and soldiers ( l hope you had soldiers)and a Pecan plait is a proper comfort tea. Glad you’re in your pjs and chilling, best bit of the day. Garage run tomorrow not exciting but it’s a decent walk, ignore the tai chi adverts, they’d have us moving like sloths if they could 😂 Hope it all goes smoothly with no faff 😊
Just having a nice hot chocolate and a couple of licorice Allsorts 😂😋

I had soldiers but i left the eggs in too long @DirtyGertiefromno30 so they weren't runny 😭 they were big eggs so I thought it would be OK. Grrrr.
Ooh I like liq allsorts too. Enjoy.

Morning all.
Took car to garage and walked home. Nice day for a walk. Blossom is glorious.

Having a coffee to recover then might have a toasted roll for brekke.
Hope everyone has the good weather too.

Garden is watered. I see i have an area up the top bed where a load of those mixed seeds i sowed have grown. Will need to thin them out soon. Rest are more scattered. Same in bottom bed. Hopefully they will continue. My lupin seedlings are doing well too.
Have a mystery plant too. Anyone have any ideas?
Will transplant my black plants into gravel later. Always something.😁

I did buy allium bulgarium but cant find a picture of the buds like that. Maybe they need to fatten up a bit more?

Hmmm could be salsify! How weird

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Eggs do that on purpose @Thebookofcarolagain 🤣 still fine for soldiers, just less dipping 😋.
Walk from the garage sounds lovely, blossom is gorgeous. Coffee and toasted roll is yummy 😋.
Garden sounds busy. Mixed seeds coming up everywhere, thinning will help them. Good your Lupins are doing well.
Allium bulgaricum just needs time, they can look slow at first. Dh's aren't bulbous at all yet so don't worry
Mystery plant is the fun bit 😄
Always something going on in your garden 🪏 😁
Been shopping to Aldis , took Mums friend with us . Came home , put all the stuff away , took presents and cards and flowers to another of my Mum's friends then changed all the beds , washed them dried one lit in the line and second one blowing all is well with the world 😁

These are what Dh's are like today .

A friend googled the photo and she reckons its salsify not my allium @DirtyGertiefromno30 how strange.
Bern out and transplanted my black alpines. 2 in gravel and one in the lower border. Fingers crossed. Picked grass and excess plants out gravel then thinned out the seedlings. Gave spread sone in burger and put done in a pot. Mist of tgem seem the same just a few are different. Fingers crossed. Left a lot where they were as insursnce. My other sunflowers I sowed in the garden and pots out front look so much different to the ones I planted in seed trays. Huge leaves and not leggy. Thank goodness.
Back was compkainjbgvso watered themball and sitting with heat pad on and a cuppa and biccie. It looks lively outside but cold in the shade.
I need to put more tape on the useless outside tap, it just constantly leaks water, worst tap ever.

You have been busy @DirtyGertiefromno30. I need to run hoover around and cook stew for tea but it can wait. .
Oh your photo just popped up. Yeah the buds on yours are different to mine. I don't think my alliums are gonna appear. Oh well I can try eating the salsify🤣 its in the wrong place though I am filling that with dahlias soon! Wonder if it will survive moving into a pot?

Fingers crossed those Alpines settle in for you @Thebookofcarolagain, gravel spot sounds good for them 👍
Interesting about the Salsify, nature does love to turn up uninvited doesn’t it 🤣.

Good news on the Sunflowers though, that’s a win. Always makes you feel better when the garden ones behave themselves more than the trays 😁.
Do take it steady with your back, heat pad and cuppa sounds the right call. Everything else can absolutely wait 💐
That tap sounds like a menace though, constant leak would drive me mad.
Get some more plumbers tape magic stuff 🤣
Got the washing in and put it away 😁 .
Steak , chips peas and Mushrooms for DH's tea , l am having jkt pots and cheese again l hear you all say. I know but l love it 😁 😋🤗
Race across the world tonight yay!!
