I give up an off for a shower and fight with my hair. Ds2 has dentist tomorrow.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 12/08/2026 20:50

All that waiting for an eclipse and you got bugger all @Thebookofcarolagainjust typical ! I don't blame you wanting a rerun 🫠😂. Go and enjoy your shower and good luck with the hair fight! Hope Ds2 gets on ok at the dentist tomorrow too poor thing 😔. Just had a lolly and a cuppa tea, yes l know, 😂 at least they wipe each other out on the hot cold exchange 🤣

Morning all.
Another nice day here amazing!
Your post didn't show up till late kast night @DirtyGertiefromno30 stupid site.
Fell asleep listening to a new Skyrim story so will have to redo it today.😄 woke up once during night, another wierd dream but not as crazy as previous night, but forced myself back to sleep.
Got pulled down a rabbit hole last pm watching reaction vids to Disturbds Sound of Silence. Love seeing people react to hearing it for the first time and I could listen to it and watch the amazing video forever.
Not feeling like doing any housework before we leave for dentist so on strike.😄
Hope you all have a good day.

Thebookofcarolagain · 13/08/2026 14:02

Good grief car said it was 31 when we left for dentist! Amazing!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 13/08/2026 14:09

Afternoon Everyone! 😁
😂 31° in the car, good grief @Thebookofcarolagain! It really is turning into a proper summer’s day. 🥵 I don’t blame you going on strike from the housework before the dentist either, sod it! 😂 Hope the dentist goes well and you have a lovely day.
Been to take my Mum's friend shopping, then home to see Welsh Water finishing the road thank God for that. I have been sat in the front room in the cool ever since we got home , 🥵 32 here , Mum fine thankfully 😊

Home again. Its dropped to 27 here @DirtyGertiefromno30 blankets of clouds but still lovely and hot. Makes a damm change!
Went for coffee with ds after dentist. He got a burger i had an iced coffee. There's a little grocers shop on high street with fruit, veg outside, lots of speciality produce, cheeses, veg, all manner of things inside. They had rhubarb and greengages so grabbed some. Never see them in supermarkets. Yum.
Got just put the gammon in for tea later.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 13/08/2026 16:21

Aww sounds like a lovely afternoon @Thebookofcarolagain😊.That little shop sounds right up my street, I love finding things you never see in the supermarkets! Rhubarb and greengages too 😋. I bet they’ll be gorgeous. Glad it’s still lovely and warm there even with the cloud. Gammon sounds perfect 😋
DH having a curry from Morrisons , l am having mackerel on toast am giving the gf bread a run for its money 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 13/08/2026 17:11

Greengages are delish @DirtyGertiefromno30 I love them.
Have done nothing since I got home! Lazy git😄
How's the bread?

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 13/08/2026 18:52

I bought Greengages from M&S last year @Thebookofcarolagainthey were gorgeous so juicy and sweet ❤️.
I haven't done anything either it's too hot 🥵. Tried the bread rolls omg they are vile 🤮 .l don't know what it is with them but l won't be getting them again.

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 13/08/2026 21:35

Aww that's such a disappointment @DirtyGertiefromno30. Oh well now you know. Hopefully you find something yourself much better.
Tea was delish. Gammon, chips and egg. 😋 Had strawbs and rasps and cream for pud. I was waiting a bit to let my tea go down so ds2 made mine up for me. He put icing sugar and vanilla in cream and just mixed it up , sliced strawbs fine and mixed it all together. So much! Have just taken my time and it was delish. Tablets are being missed tonight 😄
Dishes done, need to drag myself upstairs to get changed. Just shut the back door, its still warm.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 13/08/2026 22:09

Aww that sounds absolutely delicious @Thebookofcarolagain😋 ..DS2 did you proud with that pud, I’d have struggled to resist it too! 😂 Definitely worth missing the tablets for tonight. Glad you’ve got everything done, now get yourself upstairs and put your feet up. Still warm here too and the smoke has been awful here this evening.
Only just opened the windows they have e been shut since 9am this morning 🙄. First for the heat and then for the blinking smoke . Nevermind we will be fine tonight l expect.
Hope you get a good night's sleep everyone 🤗
I forgot to say the bread rolls tasted mouldy but they aren't up until the 16th 🙄. Heyho back to the drawing board 😂

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 13/08/2026 22:24

Eewww I hate that hint of mould on bread when you didn't notice any spots so having it on bread when still in date is bad. @DirtyGertiefromno30
That smoke is terrible, such a shame its still ongoing butat least the fire was well away from you. Those poor people in other countries having to leave thier hones because of it, horrible.
In my jammies and doing no more tonight. Need to listen to my story!
Got my blood test in morning oh joy. Got a letter today offering a vaccine for some new respiratory bug. Never heard of it! Just cos I have an auto immune disease. Its not actually failing at its job its just over zealous against me! Doesn't affect its ability to attack germs!: Do I really need another jab? Will reread it again tomorrow and decide.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 13/08/2026 22:46

Time for your story @Thebookofcarolagain🤗. Hope your blood test goes okay tomorrow. As for the vaccine, have another read of the letter before deciding. They offered my Mum the RSV vaccine in May and they all had it in the home . RSV gives you a nasty illness . I don't blame you wondering if you really need another jab though! 😂
Smoke seems better now and we have opened up the windows but it is so bloody hot here l am never going to sleep in this tonight 🤣.
Hope you managed to have a good sleep 🤞🤗

Thebookofcarolagain · 13/08/2026 23:49

Listened to my story. Very good, nothing I knew about . Very thought provoking. This ones brain now hurts 😄
Just chilling and listening to more stories to relax before bed.
Have a restful night. Its still roasting here too. Glad you got your window open. Dont think mine is gonna make much difference either.

FridayNighFeeling · 14/08/2026 06:38

Hi you two and @bookbook glad everyone surviving.

We've had a mini road trip across the border and saw both the eclipse and the meteor shower. Record breaking hot day yesterday, slightly cooler today at 32ish. Tomorrow hopefully more bearable.

Take care x

Thebookofcarolagain · 14/08/2026 07:49

Morning all
Wow lucky you @FridayNighFeeling how great you saw both events. Temps dropped here (big surprise...not) only to get up to 23 here today . Oh well better than nowt I suppose. Hope its more bearable for you over weekend.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/08/2026 13:06

Afternoon everyone 🤗
Glad you enjoyed your story last night @Thebookofcarolagaineven if it left your brain hurting! 😄 It’s still roasting here as well 27C 🥵. 23° is definitely better than here l would love 23C 😁. Just coming home from seeing Mum she was great there today thankfully.
Sounds like you had a brilliant time seeing the eclipse and the meteor showers @FridayNighFeeling, stay cool 😎
Cheese and crackers have my name on them and a nice big cuppa tea 😋😁

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 14/08/2026 15:16

Afternoon @DirtyGertiefromno30
Took a while for the clouds to clear but they did, mostly. Wind is of course buzzing about.
Have done washing, bathroom, tidied kitchen and pottered in garden but not much else.
Had my blood done. Was the nurse I used to get regularly so we had a good natter.
Not making tea as still gammon left so sarnie it is. 😁
Just being a lazy bisum today😄

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/08/2026 15:27

Afternoon you lazy bisum @Thebookofcarolagain 😄😂
Sounds like you’ve actually done plenty to me ! Washing, bathroom, kitchen, garden AND bloods done ,that’s more than enough for one day a alotmote than l have done l can tell you 😁. Lovely that you got your old nurse too, nothing like a good natter while they’re having a go at you with the needle 😂. Gammon sarnie sounds perfect, especially when it saves you cooking. Put your feet up and enjoy being lazy 😁.
I have done a load of admin , sorted stuff out and put it away properly and got rid of the stuff with our details on. Made an appointment with a Dietician for 2 weeks time re my Coeliac diagnosis 🙄. Not that it will do much good l reckon you just have to suck it up and get on with it 💪

OP posts:
DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/08/2026 17:58

Just going to have a ready meal curry and some of the nice flat breads l bought myself 😋 DH having hot dawgs 🤣

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 14/08/2026 18:27

Hopefully your dietician can give you advice on what if products are the best and what to look out for @DirtyGertiefromno30
Washing put away, dishes done, in my pj's ready to do more nothing 😁 Damm wire on another bra has gone! Meant to bring the sewing kit down with me and forgot, oh well it can wait till tomorrow 😁 I must get myself organised and get new ones . Its such a faff as no two makes are the same damm sizes.
Bluergh I hate admin, such a faff. Well done for tackling it.

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/08/2026 19:06

Evening everyone 🤗
Hopefully the dietician will be able to point me in the right direction @Thebookofcarolagain🤞.
Well look at you, all done and in your jammies ready to do absolutely nothing! 👏 Sounds like the perfect evening to me. Typical about the bloody bra wire though! They’re such a faff, especially when every bloody make seems to have completely different sizing. 🙄 Sewing kit can wait until tomorrow, definitely time to put your feet up tonight!
And yes, admin is an absolute pain in the arse. 😫 Glad I’ve got it tackled though, one less thing buzzing around in my head and l had to pay £60 for the gas repair we had last month , it was up today so glad l shifted my ass and paid it 🤣🤣🤣
Still boiling here 🥵

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/08/2026 19:08

Oh we just had an alert from the Govt on our phones about the wild fires . Andy Burnham has sent the Army here to help fight the fires .

OP posts:
Thebookofcarolagain · 14/08/2026 19:30

Just saw that on my WhatsApp group. They all nearly jumped out thier skins. 😁
Glad you are getting help with the wildfires. Bout bloody time. First thing he has done right so far😁
Its hot here too, have shut the curtains as am boiling and can hardly see the telly screen!

DirtyGertiefromno30 · 14/08/2026 19:59

Oh I bet they did, bless them @Thebookofcarolagain! Nothing like a good jump scare to liven up the WhatsApp group! 😁 And yes, about bloody time someone did something right with these wildfires! Hopefully they can get them properly under control now. 🔥🤞

It’s bloody roasting here too. Windows and Curtains are open here now still bloody boiling . We’re all melting! 🥵
