Morning - have they done a midnight flit? Time for you to do your own banging around, mowing the lawn etc!

The sun is shining and the doors open to catch the early breeze - not looking forward to trying to sleep tonight though :-0

Morning one and all. The sun is not out here yet although it is really warm already. Poor Brownies and Rainbows are out on a day trip today I do hope none get cooked ! This is the first outing I have missed with them as I have to be here for OH. :-)

Family comes first :-) Are they going somewhere nice then.........like a swimming pool? Hope the parents have given permission for sun cream to be applied, or provided it themselves.

Morning all.

You little tinker, LG!! Fishnets and a syringe!! Be careful where you stick it!! Your OH might think all his birthdays have come at once ;-)

Maz, I think LG has something arranged with Yidarmylass locally, if that's what is confusing you.

I can come to Chester-le-Street if Pauline is up for it. Any day will suit me while I am on holiday. But as well as that, are you going to your Mum's again at half term?

The sun is up and it is very warm here. Me thinks I will have trouble sleeping tonight, but what the heck!! At least it is a beautiful day and makes life worth living :-D Aunty will be most envious of our temperatures! But, I'm sure she will get her own back sooner or later!!

Good evening. And quit the talk about pleasant ambient temperatures. Actually today wasn't too bad.

Drove miles (well OH did the driving) to breakfast, then to offspring's house then back into the city where OH dropped me off for lunch with the girls, and then a lift home. I have eaten (and I hope y ou have your bibs on to catch the drools), pancakes, strawberries and cream and hot chocolate for brekkie, and then chicken and brocoli with steamed rice, and another hot chocolate for lunch. (The chicken has an Italian name like pollo fino or something).
Had a lovely drive down from the hills into the city and at both breakfast and lunch the food was quite lovely.

Toast and vegemite for tea, and a banana.

My footy team played the top team in the comp today. Opposition home ground. Opposition team have won 26 games in a row at home. They have now won 27 games in a row. And as OH philosophically observed, "at least we won't have to worry about football after the end of the home and away series, we won't be in the finals". True, too true!!

I am picturing LG on the broomstick, dressed in red and white fishnet tights with a laser strapped to her back and weilding a giant syringe, full of....... just what was in the syringe LG?

And Maz, are you sure they have not done a flit. Lorries in the middle of the night sounds suspiciously like they might be leaving or preparing to leave. Unless of course they have taken in immigrants or cyber pets of their own.

Just come in from the garden for a cool down. We've hosed down the fascias and windowsills (the ones we can reach, any way) so that's that job done for the year. Might hang out of the upstairs windows to see what can be reached another time.

Someone has decided to store their spare swimming ring round my middle :-0 Come on, own up and take it away cos I'm not paying out for a new wardrobe of clothes...grr

just got the grass cut sat down for a break and guess what it rained lol
I am going to mums in october that is the plan as we speak ,
chester le street can cope with three of us i guess lol if we can get a day off it has one street and at least one coffee shop lol

I've been a busy girl today, to make up for yesterday :-)

I've even made a meat & potato pie!! Thought it looked to be a reasonable size when I started!! There's enough for dinner tonight, lunch tomorrow, dinner tomorrow night, Tuesday, Wednesday etc etc and the rest!! :-D

Chester-le-Street it is then, Maz!! ;-)

Evening all. the Brownies and Rainbows went to Wicksteed Park. They all had great fun along with H and Yidarmylass. I have been nursemaid all day the syringe is full of vodka Aunty ;-). It has been so hot here that I have only ventured out to the washing line and back. Meet was metioned by DET we are wondering if we can all manage one together to make up for the last PB disaster :-)

I went to Wicksteed park 53 years ago lol

Evening Stan, I bet it's changed a bit since then :-D

Evening LG.

I'm sitting here with the fan going!!! We're in for an even hotter day tomorrow and I've got to go to work :-( It will be awful in the offfice!!!

Morning all. Have you checked with the variouis transportation companies to ascertain whether they will be in operation on your chosen day of travel!!

Sounds like your weather has lost its way and should be over here. Still optomistic about it warming up here, after all we are supposed to have global warming. Or so the revenue raisers like to tell us.

Maz are your next doorers still there or has it been ultra quiet lately.

Vodka in a syringe oh ha, obviously LG goes along with the old adage, "candy's dandy, but liquor's quicker', or some such saying.

It is Monday here which means I have to go to work. Wonder if I could talk management into letting me work part time next year. Yeah and I would then befuddle my brain trying to fit all the work into the reduced number of days and also have to cope with living with OH 24/7.

It's cooled off a little now but may have to put the fan on in the bedroom tonight as it is hot upstairs

Evening - nothing on TV we want to watch so it's been turned off. OH is re-reading a book, so all is quiet.

Part time work, or a job share sounds a good idea to 'ease' yourself into retirement.........and to train someone up to take over. A lot of the teaching staff I work(ed) with reduced their hours as they approached retirement age.

It does take a bit of adjustment when both of you are at home all day. OH had a list of projects to start with, which helped keep him out of the way. No doubt you will have your own list! Now they are finished, we try to go out once a week while we still can. :-D

Glad the young ladies enjoyed their day out, hopefully with no one returning a bright red. And at least you won't have to cook when you get home from work YG!

Evening DET. :-D

Evening - how is the patient? Any less discomfort yet?

A little thanks, the eye drops seem to be working as it is not quite so sore.

Will he be working tomorrow, or another day off?

He reckons he is going to work but he can't see properly yet so we shall see.
