Morning all.
Bright and sunny first thing now cloudy again.😡
Bathroom done, trying to work up enthusiasm for hoovering.
Woke up at 3 this morning, all achy and felt really wierd. Did go back to sleep thankfully. No idea what that was all about.
Got dentist tomorrow morning, ds1 says he will chum me up for company.
Had a look at my foxgloves seedlings. Will need to put some of them into bigger pots soon!
Hope you are all enjoying better weather than here. Have a lovely Sunday.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/07/2026 14:43

Afternoon everyone 😊
Been to see Mum, cut her toenails , washed her hair , she was fine there thankfully .
Just had tea toast a banana and a nice cuppa . British Grand Prix on 👏🤗.
What's not to like 😁
Glad you managed to get back to sleep @Thebookofcarolagain , after waking up feeling so achy, bless you , hopefully it was just one of those odd nights. Hope the dentist goes well tomorrow, lovely of DS1 to keep you company. Sounds like your foxgloves are doing really well! Fingers crossed the sun comes back out. Have a lovely Sunday too. 🌸☀️

Damm been zonked out on sofa for a while.

Sun never came out properly @DirtyGertiefromno30 . Did a small wash and thankfully didn't put it out cos it rained!

Did housework then put Skyrim on 😄
Getting colder now. 😡

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/07/2026 17:07

Sounds like that sofa nap did you the world of good @Thebookofcarolagain! 😄 At least you were wise not to put the washing out before the rain. Hope you enjoyed a bit of Skyrim too, and stay nice and cosy now it's turned colder . Just finished watching the Grand Prix , Wimbledon on now , Djikovic seems to be very fit and able there as per . Be nice for someone else to win for a change tbh.
Thinking of having a nice bowl of ice cream and strawbs for tea 😋

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 05/07/2026 19:40

Hope you had your strawbs @DirtyGertiefromno30 . I had a boiled egg sarnie and crisps. Didn't fancy anything else.
Dishes all done, scrubbed and in pjs.

Still Skyrimming😁

Rained off and on but stopped for now.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/07/2026 20:24

Aww, it sounds like you've had a nice, relaxing day @Thebookofcarolagain 😊 . Yes thank you I did enjoy my strawbs 😋. A boiled egg sarnie and crisps sounds lovely when you don't fancy much . Glad you've got all the dishes done, are in your PJs, and can just chill with Skyrim. 👏😁😀.
We are watching Brazil v Norway should be a good match 🤞😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 05/07/2026 20:29

I spoke too soon @DirtyGertiefromno30 its piddling down again😡 Oh well saves watering the garden. Hope it doesn't wash out the feed!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/07/2026 21:31

Typical isn’t it @Thebookofcarolagain, just when you think it’s fine it starts again 🙄. Fingers crossed it eases off so the feed is ok 🤞. At least like you say, garden’s getting a free drink for once! It saves you a job 😁.
Watching Norway v Brazil , Norway playing well but it's anyone's for the picking . 😆

Thebookofcarolagain · 05/07/2026 22:14

Ds2 home but wet! Made him a bacon and egg butty.😄
Hope its not raining tomorrow for walking up to dentist!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 05/07/2026 23:09

He’s come home and been well looked after then @Thebookofcarolagain , bacon and egg butty always, always, always , hits the spot 😋
Fingers crossed the rain clears up for tomorrow for you, walking to the dentist is much nicer dry.
Norway won , my lot very happy 😁

Thebookofcarolagain · 06/07/2026 13:32

Afternoon all.
Been to dentist. Rain stayed off till I got back to car and went to Asda. But wind got up big time!
Didn't need a filling after all. Just a tiny but of decay starting so he cleaned it of, smoothed it and voila you cant even see it. Got a clean and polish as well. Don't like that as it sets sensitivity off but its good for ye old teeth so I suffer it. Only a few minutes. No appoint for a year yippee.
Raining here now. Just stop!
Gonna take ds1 to job centre soon then doing nothing all day, sod it.
Hope you all have a bit of sunshine instead of this damm rain.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 06/07/2026 15:23

Afternoon everyone 🤗
That's a great result at the dentist @Thebookofcarolagainespecially no filling! 😊 A whole year until the next visit is a huge bonus. Typical about the rain though! Hope the job centre trip goes smoothly, then you can enjoy a well earned lazy afternoon. 🤞
Went out with my friend for lunch , yummy egg and bacon sarnies and a cuppa gorgeous 😍.
Watching the football from this morning now 🤗

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 06/07/2026 16:24

Ha I didn't stop there @DirtyGertiefromno30 😄 As I gad raven ds1 down i came vack, waited 20 mins then took ds2 to work TBF it did start bucketing down as we went along the street so that's fair.
I went to Asda for bread after dentist and i also got a french stick which we havent had in a while. So had a tuna and sweetcorn chunk of that and crisps. Also got cinnamon swirl but only managed half, will keep the rest for later 😋 DS1 got a chicken combo thingy at McDs so he wont need tea either.
What do your footie fan's think of USAs interference in the USAs red card suspension? Only takes corrupt trumpy and corrupt fifa sucking up.to each other for $$$s to stain the WC forever.😡 I saw people online predicting USA fixing the WC in thier favour before it even started and I wondered how...now I know.
Doing nowt else today am on strike.😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 06/07/2026 18:38

You've definitely earned a day on strike after all that running about @Thebookofcarolagain 😁.
As for Trump, I can see why it's frustrating. I just hope politics and corruption stays out of football as much as possible. The game should be decided on the pitch, not by outside pressure or people with influence 🙄. Fingers crossed the rest of the tournament is celebrated for the football rather than all the controversy.
Enjoy the rest of your afternoon, and that other half of your cinnamon swirl! 😋
Can't believe it's rained with you , it's 27C and beautiful here . Going to be too hot Thur, Fri , Sat though 😱
Hey ho that's just how it seems to roll these days .
Do not know what to have for tea , might just have a bit of toast and honey on it and a nice big cuppa strong tea😋.

Thebookofcarolagain · 06/07/2026 19:15

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 06/07/2026 19:41

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 07/07/2026 12:54

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Oh honestly @Thebookofcarolagain, what a way to start the day! 😩 Some drivers really do test your patience. Glad you managed to get out in the end though. And that weather's having a laugh too 22° but rain and wind isn't exactly what you'd call summer! 😱Hope the rest of your day is a lot less stressful 🤗
Just coming from seeing Mum, who was brilliant today bless her , up one day down the next 🤗

Stopped raining for now but who knows @DirtyGertiefromno30
Put washing away, dishes etc. Just having fun, not.😄
Still cant figure out how to put spell check back on its driving me nuts.

Thebookofcarolagain · 07/07/2026 13:41

Oh I went on something else and tried again. Settings finally opened! Yeah!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 07/07/2026 17:46

You've been busy @Thebookofcarolagain! 😄 Fingers crossed the rain stays away for a bit fir you 🤞. Housework is never ending, isn't it? I hope you get to put your feet up soon. That spell check would drive me mad too . I am glad you managed to get it sorted because it makes life so much easier! 🤞
