Good Morning Saturday 23rd November 2024

Morning all from a damp West Oxfordshire.

It is Stir up Sunday tomorrow so today I will prepare the Christmas pudding mixture ready to steam tomorrow. In the meantime, OH who made his first ever cake yesterday (a honey and cinnamon loaf) will ice it today and take it to his Bee Association together with jars of his honey. I will go along later to watch the judging and have dinner.

I’ve wrapped all the Christmas presents for my Australian relatives. I’ll post them on Monday.

Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a dry and not frosty NE, forecast is for light snow shower in the next hour, it won't lie though because it is going to be 8 degrees today.
Yesterday's appointment with the GP was a waste of time, he didn't tell me anything more than the letter from the cardiologist had.
During the afternoon I made a big pan of carrot and sweet potato soup.
Today GD has rehearsal from 9am until 6pm so DS says he will visit after dropping her off. I think I will ask if he would like lunch out, saves me cooking.
Have a good weekend.

Good morning from s somerset, the weather sounds bad, noisy wind and rain plus it will be dark and gloomy all day

It will be an indoor day and I will get myself going after breakfast. I have a guest room to clear and beds to make, I know my mind will be easier when that is done. Food for vegans is organised and their bathroom is ready, a few last minute preps today and then kntting, this time I will work on my jumper ufo, using my jumper weight of home spun corriedale wool, which is so soft

My parcel did not arrive yesterday, after waiting in all day, it was DX, I sent messages last night. No wonder amazon have so many customers, they are reliable. Last night, I made two good supported tool-hanging systems for my shed, ready to install next week

Have a good day

Good morning. Snowing heavily here in Yorkshire so looks like a staying in and snuggling down day. Take care everyone.

Good morning from Bristol. Looking out, the pavement is wet, but it doesn’t seem to be raining. Yet.
I’ve been awake for over 2 hours - it’s going to be a loooong day.
Yesterday, we had a good Spanish class, though one lady keeps complaining that the tutor speaks too fast. My other criticism is that the students want exact translations rather than the meaning and interpretation of the words…
I went to DD’s for tea. They took an age to set it up, between Iris’ many tantrums and sulking. I find it so very wearing that the family try to cajole her at every turn. Personally, I’d ignore her, carry on without her and she’d soon learn…
The tea was delicious, DD was pleased with the little extra presents I gave her. I had already given her three Clematis Montana for the garden.
Once again,I was wiped out by the time I got home, and, stuffed with tea, I went to bed early. I did watch th3 silly “Return to Paradise “ though. Escapism.
Today should be reasonably quiet, and I face another full on week.
May the weekend be kind to you (despite the weather forecast). Carpe diem 🦩🦩🦩🦩
