Hello Everyone

Hi Ladies.  Quick look in this morning.

Yesterday all the housework got completed and beef cooked and sliced (now in foil waiting to be reheated) and potatoes peeled and they are on part boiling while I am doing this post.  The cherry tree being put in the garden was a step too far, but I did get the shelf up in the downstairs loo and that makes it much tidier in there with a proper place for the liquid soap dispenser and hand sanitiser, etc, and after that was done I did put the drill and the screwdriver away again.

Jean, just like all of us, we get a bit forgetful at our ages and that is why I have a pill dispenser with the days on it, so am sure when the right ones have been taken on the right days.  See the nurse is coming back on Monday,  but the others have now finished and would have to start charging.  I am afraid that you will have to learn to cope with the wobby legs like me, but see you are still thinking of driving.  Enjoy the lunch today with Barry and Sally at the club - at least you don't have to cook it like me stuck with feeding the family - although I am not moaning about it,  as I wlll enjoy catering for them all and the catching up, but these days takes longer and is a bit painful standing for too long doing the cooking.

Dian, As you can see from above, I gave the cherry tree a miss, but glad I got the shelf up and made things a bit clearer in that downstairs loo.  I will enjoy seeing the family today and catching up with all that has been happening.  I see that Duke didn't stay out for long in the windy weather and you were carrying on with indoor jobs.

Barbara, chop and change weather for you yesterday, here it stayed fine all day and has started off with lovely sunshine this morning, but that much colder and we were threatened with rain today, but so far we are okay.  Usual things for you and David and you were hoping he wouldn't get caught in the showers in the afternoon while he was at the terrain.

Sorry it is a quick answer this morning - potatoes were just starting to boil over, so had to turn them down for a bit further cooking before they got into the roasting tin.  Hope all of you enjoy your Sunday.

went to the lunch with Barry and Sally and then yesterday to the day centre, whilst I was coming home on the wellibus the nurse asked why I was not home, I was told
to go and it was arranged the nurse would come about 3.30pm so he rang me at three instead. they were coming to do a blood test and urine tests. anyway
another nurse came as he was not qualified to do this...........................she told me that the hospital had been unable to process my urine test as it had the wrong
details on it...............should be collecting Peanut today. they are coming here for the urine test tomorrow as I could not go yesterday

Despite wanting an early and restful evening yesterday and feeling tired, there was still quite a bit I had to do that had been hanging about on the computer, so forced myself to print off the bank statements and check them (all okay and tallied with my accounts), then an email came through from my daughter so answered her and explained about the funeral next week and think that I will be going with Susi, because spoke to Rachel about this on Sunday and she was going to find it a bit difficult to get there that early (having to check into work first), so got back to Susi to accept her offer of being there and had to answer her email and let her know the details as soon as I could, so she can get sorted.  I will be seeing Susie on Friday here and will sort out more things then.  Got to go to the centre and sort out the flowers and arrange to collect them on Monday ready for early Tuesday.  I eventually got upstairs much later than planned and caught up with some of the recorded t v from over the weekend and yesterday and finally settled down to sleep about 2 in the morning.

Of course, up later than usual this morning and couldn't believe how much there was to catch up on again in the emails and that has taken the last couple of hours getting that lot up-to-date, but here at last.

We all enjoyed Sunday and Hunter was so pleased with his presents.  After they had all gone I just cleared the food and left the rest of the putting away until yesterday morning, because I had promised that dressing up outfit to one of the club members - her daughter had wanted something Victorian and I had a long apron made out of blue and white striped material with a mob cap and that had originally been thrown together quickly for a carnival float - cannot remember whether it was the Old Woman who lived in a Shoe or Old Mother Hubbard, but had to sit there and do some running repairs on that and get some new elastic through the frilly mob cap, so that took up anough of that evening and had to leave the items piling up on the computer.  That was another job yesterday morning I had to tackle before the club - ironing that outfit.

Enjoyed the club yesterday and the lady who wanted the dressing up outfit, was pleased with that.  I had left the slow cooker on with the left over beef and veg and that cooked very well while I was at the club.  No wins for me yesterday, but enjoyed the company.  Now back to catching up and reading your posts.

Dian, yes still that cherry tree to do and I was hoping to get that done this afternoon as nasty storms promised from tomorrow evening, but as you mentoned, I did get that shelf up and pleased with how that looks.  Hope the wind calmed down for you on Sunday and you were able to get some more leaves lifted, as it was dry weather,  but chilly.  I had a laugh with that first email this morning and the second one - what an illusionist he was.  I can see from your post yesterday that you did get rid of those leaves and now have the brown bin half full.  Trip for you around to your local shop for a few items and then enjoyed a chat with your son when he popped in.  Hope today keeps going well for you and see it is dry enough to get some washing out.  Enjoy your club tomorrow morning.

Barbara, yes it was lovely sunshine here also on Sunday, but noticing how quickly the evenings are drawing in now.  Usual things for you and David and good to read that he seems to be getting back to his good form with regad to the Petanque.   Hope everything went well for you yesterday.

Jean apologies that I haven't had the time to put any colour in your posts or enlarge the fonts, but still trying to catch up here.  See you are getting Peanut back today and enjoyed the lunch at the club and hope the urine test gets sorted.

While I have been typing this I have had to reset the keyboard again because this time suddenly when I wanted to put a "b" I was getting an "a" and thankfully corrected that, but don't know why it is playing up.  Must away now Ladies and try and get something done in the garden, while the sun is shining.  Hope the rest of the day and evening goes well for all of you.

Hi Ladies.

Today I am going to carry on with more sorting things, because the amount that Susi took away yesterday makes me feel as though I am really getting somewhere and plus I have more room to work in.  I brought back that spare plastic crate from the club the other day and that is all cleaned up and can actually put some bags of trimmings in that, instead of them sitting separately in the old wardrobe shelving in the craft room and label the crate as containing trimming.  Also a chance to go through more of them, zips, bias binding, webbing, etc., because there is another lady requesting bits and pieces for sewing on Freegle.  I also have an overload of sewing thread, so will sort through those too.  Also this weekend I am going to sort out the purple outfit for the funeral, so plenty to do indoors, because again it is still too damp after the deluge to do anything outside. Got to get a move on too, because am fed up with feeling aches and pains, while sitting here, so must get some exercise in and walk around indoors.

Jean I did wake up too early about 5, but it wasn't raining then and I went back to bed again after a bathroom call and finally woke up at 8, but no rain then either., so hoping we have seen the last of it here for a while.  We were so lucky considering what some people have been through with the flooding.

Despite the weather, try and enjoy your Saturday Ladies and I must away and get moving.
