Good morning from s somerset, thankfully cloudy, all day I hope
I enjoyed reading about your holiday Bellas Congratulations Ginny and what a lovely special cake
I spent the whole of yesterday just de-cluttering paper, my walk was lovely and I was home by 8am then the paper cutting started.
Sewing patterns come in pdf these days and I usually get the A3 printed sheets with them. I had several of these in a pile in my dining area so yesterday I prepped the A4 envelopes and did all the printed instructions etc. They end up like in the photo and then I file them, which I will do today. The patterns still need cutting properly before I use them
It will be one in and one out today, I have old packs of patterns that I didn`t much like, or no longer fit and they will go. I will keep the pdfs on memory sticks
I did get my e bike ready for a long cycle ride today but I also need to tend to watering my allotment produce, both are strenuous so I have given up on the long ride. I cannot do both on the same day
So today will be an allotment visit, followed by pattern filing and recording, I use blank business cards and small files for that and I can compare patterns at a glance.
Argh, the jackdaws are attacking my Howgate wonder apples again this year, there is a flock at it. They are magnificent apples but they never leave me any to sample. Cheeky birds
Good morning all from Morecambe Bay where the house is hot and airless after being empty during the heat while we have been away. I’ll keep the doors open when we are up and about and hopefully cool it down. It was too late to do much when we arrived home last night. My friend continued to her own home as she was keen to be able to pick her cats from the cattery first thing this morning. I’ll add pics of Glamis castle from our visit on Friday, but yesterday we stumbled on Carolside garden. It’s not particularly well advertised being a private garden but it’s probably taken the number one spot as my favourite garden. Sorry Holehird!
Today will be be a very lazy day as we are exhausted after a very full on week in Shetland. We traveled almost fifteen hundred miles and walked over fifty miles. I’m probably feeling even more tired than I should as my ear infection hasn’t gone and my asthma is worse than usual. Take care everyone.🌸
Good morning from Sunnyside northwest coast. I kept up my walking yesterday and I’ve been asked for another song for Wednesday’s concert, so I’ve dug one out which needs practising.
As I’m leaving for the south the morning after, I’m organising that as well as my concert outfit etc. last night’s film was The Hireling from 1973 and it was marvellous.
Not a great night, my hip troubling me.
Sad sketch of my cat’s latest offering, possibly telling me what a lousy hunter I am😢. Thoughts to all🌺
Good morning all from Glasgow, where it is 10 degrees C.
I have lost my earlier post, because I was trying to type on my tablet, with my swollen, claw like hand. Now the other hand is also very painful.
A case of Déjà vu: This is what forced me into early retirement 10 years ago.
All I ask, is for one day of respite.
I have heard from Susan, she sends her best wishes to all. Life is problematic, health wise for her, but she hopes to be back soon.
Bella, it sounds as if you have had a lovely time. Thank goodness, GN took down the photo quickly.
Years of training teachers in internet safety and safeguarding, have made me very vigilant. Sadly, some posters think it is a fuss about nothing
However, it is so easily done, I too have mistakenly done this.
As for trying to get in the wrong car, I did the same at the doctor's the other day. DH was sitting waiting in the car, while I failed to get into the car behind. He just sat there laughing. I couldn't understand why he wasn't in the car! 😂
He offered to wash the cars yesterday, in order to get some fresh air. It took him hours, because people kept passing by and chatting. He hardly speaks to anyone from one day to the next, I was so pleased he was interracting.
However..... my job was to clean the interiors, but when I got into my car, I could hardly see out of the windscreen, it was covered in a filthy, greasy, brown film. It wasn't like that before he washed it! 😡
Of course, he denied all responsibilty!
I don't know if I have previously mentioned, that I have little or no voice, it's a permanent thing, related to my RA. and causing all sorts of problems for me.
Last night on my way back from Mass, I decided to stop off for Indian takeaway, because I couldn't face cooking.
I placed my order, but was shocked at the cost. However, since I haven't done this for ages, I thought that must be correct.
Sitting thinking about it, I heard a man ordering a similar meal, but it was ten pounds cheaper.
I was just about to query it, when the takeaway delivery driver arrived and asked if I was OK. He used to be our school janitor.
It turned out, that due to my lack of voice, the waitress didn't hear me asking for a set meal for two.
What a carry on!
They were unable to return my payment by card, so it took three of them to work out, how much to give me back in cash. 😁
PS, my permanent hoarseness, is the cause of DH's permanent deafness. 
Safe journey, Ash.
GM, it's always good to hear affirmation about ourselves. Working as a volunteer, one can sometimes feel unappreciated.
I had hoped to potter in the garden, but wont't be able to do much, it is too painful.
I may run to LIDL for more choc mint ice lollies, I have become addicted to them unfortunately DH has too!!! A simple pleasure.
I wish you all a Buona Domenica!, it sounds so much better than, Have a good Sunday.
