Morning all this is quick as I need to jump in the shower, going to the parade as advertised yesterday, think I might need to dress warm 🥴 be back soon there is a re-enactment of a war going on but I’ve only just gotten over the last lot I was deaf for a year with the cannon fire, lots of stalls to look round , OH will be at the wood turning stall, I will mostly be at the cake stall 😃

[Gemini]

Have a cake for me Qwerty

[Oma]

Oma - I'm on bedroom cleaning today - and the dreaded hot flat hissy thing! I need to mow the lawn, but it's too wet at the moment. Not much else planned apart from making some bara brith.

Have a good day, ladies.



[/QUOTE]

I love Barra Brith but I only make a small one now and then as B hates anything with Tea in

Qwerty a cake for me too please

Gem hope your Mum is in a good mood today hows Puss ?

[Gemini]

I hope so too Oma!! Nor banking on it however. Hopefully seeing OH, who she hasn't seen for a while, will help.
Puss seems good thanks xx

Had a nice evening next door, good food, lots of chat and a bit too much wine. GD1 and her boyfriend were there and there was a discussion about finding a flat together, that is the last one flying the nest. Nothing planned today, weather doesn't look too bad atm. just right for the London Marathon.

I can understand you feeling a bit down Gemini having to cancel plans for a break from routine. Will not be long now before DD is back from Canada.

[Qwerty]

Change of plan ladies no cake for me , someone has been naughty and stopped from going, it must be bad for them to do that but to be honest she reaching nine going on nineteen don’t know if hormones kick in then but she has had her moments , so a free day for us 😀

[Daisy]

Qwerty, it's an ill wind.


Yes, I think girls, especially, start getting hormonal around 9 - poor lass, she's obviously in trouble at home and might be in trouble with the Guide/Brownie leader for not turning up. (Sorry I don't know what age they start Guides).

Plant - nice easy day for you today after last night's merriment!

Gem - pleased to hear puss is ok. I hope your mum is ok, too.


I've done the lawn - goodness it was long. I'll have to do it again in a couple of days to get it back to a reasonable length.

[Nanto2girls]

Oh dear Qwerty,GD getting into trouble.

Spent the day doing housework.
Just brought the washing in,it's dried lovely.

Hubby spent this morning faffing about under the worktop where dishwasher is going.
It's going in a different place to where the other one was.

[Oma]

I agree Girls turn 9/10 and they think they are teenagers , they push their luck don't they

I often had to say to my DD , im the grown up hear not you

[Clover]

Oh dear Qwerty,GD must have been a naughty girl.Sorry you’re missing the cake though.

[Gemini]

I will have to do our lawn again soon Daisy.

We didn't stay long at Mum's. Her ear is very blocked with probably ear wax and inner ear fluid. Poor thing is almost completely deaf atm. She won't help herself buy smoking less or opening a window however! She wasn't in the mood for company and more or less ignored OH!! No conversation without bellowing, and she has the snooker to watch, so we left quite soon, with me promising to make her an appointment as soon as possible. I phoned her when I got home to remind her to begin putting in olive oil her ears as they won't syringe unless you have done. Mum rang me a while later to say she can't find her dropper to put olive oil, so back I go tomorrow morning before I go out for the day. I do feel sorry for her, but Give Me Strength!!!!!
To cheer ourselves up OH and I went to M&S cafe for coffee and cake.
I'm so glad I have her, all this would be much harder alone!

[Clover]

Oh dear Gem you might have known your Mum would have some difficulty that would mean you had to go back. At least S understands how things are. M&S coffee and cake was well deserved I think.

[Nanto2girls]

Not the best of visits then, but hope you enjoyed coffee and cake.

[Gemini]

We did yes thanks!
I told Mum I will drop off some olive oil with dropper to her in the morning, before I go out. She's a late riser so I won't knock. If it won't go through the letterbox I told her to look on the doorstep!

[Daisy]

Gem - in a way, I'm saying poor mum, having a blocked ear is no fun at all, but she isn't helping herself which makes it much harder on you and S. Does she cope ok on the phone? I did wonder if she might be preoccupied with the snooker. You are very patient!! xx

I didn't get much done this afternoon - portioning up dog food, a bit of the dreaded hot hissy thing, then Eva was giving me meaningful looks every time we passed the shelf where her lead and harness live, so in the end we took er up to the paddock for a run round.

It was so beautiful there today. It's fenced and also has a mixed hedge all round. The bluebells are in full bloom all round the hedge and most of the area is given over to a wild flower meadow, so our friend has stopped mowing it - just keeping the paths mown. A few years ago wild orchids started to appear and they are doing really well now, and look beautiful, especially against the yellow of buttercups etc. Later the ox eye daisies will carpet the whole area . It's opened under the National Garden Scheme, in June, I think, and on alternate years he allows the wood turning club to set up a demonstration and display in aid of the local Hospice. If it carries on like this it will look amazing by then. We used to worry about Eva trampling on the flowers, but she's actually quite careful and keeps mostly to the paths, bless her. We're so lucky to be able to use it.
