Chat Away

[Plantaholic]

Oma, GD1 and her partner are winging their way up to your neck of the woods. They are staying Newcastle and want to spend some time looking around. they want to see The angel of the North and Lindisfarne. they will be back on sunday. Make the sun shine for them.

I don't know about further north where Oma is Plant but the forecast here is nice for the weekend, not so good for tomorrow.

By crikey,its cold here today,my feet are frozen.
Hubbys pal just come and he said its going to warmer at the weekend.

I did manage to get to the post office.

Hairdresser has been and we both feel better now.

I am finding it very chilly indoors. Just been around to my GS1's family to take a cardigan I had knitted for GGD and to show them a pattern to knit a winter jumper for GGS. GGS was so excited having someone indoors, he wanted to show me all over the house. They have had so much work done, a lot GS1 did himself. What they have done so far is very nice, he has learnt so many skills.

Nanto, it does feel so much better to get your hair done

[Gemini]

Plant, GS2 cannot wait for me to go into his house! He now has a 'new' bed (his sisters ) and so does she. He is dying to show me.

Evening all

Some very excited little ones about,

I don’t know what came over me today but I flicked the fluffy pink thing ( I’m a bit of a rebel, no yellow for me !) round the bedrooms and even used the fluffy tickling stick in the corners Plus a good sucky up session everywhere upstairs. Tomorrow- downstairs

Unfortunately Finn is still in quite a lot of pain so has to stay in hospital another night. They have elevated his arm to try to reduce swelling and perhaps help his arm feel less painful.

It’s been rather overcast and dull here for most of the day but the sun has just popped out.

Have a good evening.

Daisy, it is now permitted for 2 household to meet indoors, maintaining social distancing, which is now 1 metre, more if possible.
It would be fine for you to go to your GD's home or they yours. If it's more than one household meeting up though it's outside still.

Gem - many thanks for that clarification. These means we'll still be in the garden when we see the GDs tomorrow as their other grandad will be there as well - he's their bubble as he looks after them every afternoon. We would willingly looked after the girls, but at that point only one person was allowed in another house and as S lives alone he was the obvious choice. He's being very helpful, but I know he finds it quite tiring, so us going to play with the girls takes a bit of pressure off him. And of course we're more than happy to see the girls.

I'm sure your DD will enjoy her birthday, and hopefully the weather will be a bit better tomorrow.

Plant - your GGS sounds a delightful little lad.

Nanto - I hope you do get warmer weather for the week-end. The forecast is better here as well.

[Oma]

Plant it's forecast showers but it said today was going to rain and it's been lovely so can't rely on the forecast .
we are about 10 minutes from the Angel

Gem I'm sure he will be so excited Grandma can see his big boy bed

GS1 was out for a bike ride with his friend today , bell rang opened the door and the two of them are at the end of the drive ,
Nana can we have cans of coke please we thirsty gets them cans , then Nana can we have crisps too goes gets crisps.

So I said have you had lunch yet ? No I will make some pasta or a sandwich when we get to mine so he ended up with £20 to go get some lunch

Said to B that was a expensive visit

[Daisy]

Oma - it's lovely that GS1 can just call round like that and be sure of a welcome, to say nothing of goodies and lunch! What happened about his school uniform? (Sorry if you said and I've missed it.)

[Gemini]

But you loved it really Oma

Clover these accidents happen so easily. My DD3 broke her wrist as a teenager, running home from the video shop with her best friend. They tripped, BF fell on DDs arm, it broke.

[Daisy]

Clover - I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier - they crossed and I didn't look back up the screen. Pink fluffy things sound very daring, you rebel, you! Poor Finn. I do feel sorry for him. I hope the pain eases off soon, but it does sound like major surgery, poor lad. Is his mum still staying with him? My DS2 had two operations two years apart (different things) when he was about Fin's age and I was able to stay there overnight, but with all the Covid restrictions I wondered if it was a no-no. I'm sure he'll need his mum, bless him. xx

[Nanto2girls]

Its a lot better weatherwise this morning.

Clover,hope Finn is feeling a bit better today.

I don't think there is much happening for us today.

In laws later.

Good morning, rain forecast for today, I got so wet yesterday going for some flowers. There are sheep down in the park, they go from village to village mowing the grass for the council.

[Clover]

Morning all.

Lizzie the sheep are a great eco friendly way of cutting the grass. I could do with just one in my back garden.😀

It’s actually not raining this morning . Hope we’re going to have a fine weekend.

Daisy,yes DD is staying overnight with Finn. She expected to be sent home but was told it was usual for parents to stay and the current situation made no difference. Of course no other visitors, so DD is sending SIL a list of things she needs and meeting him in the car park when he drops the stuff off .
I’ll be in touch later to see what’s happening with Finn today.

Today I’m giving the downstairs a shock by a bit of cleaning,or at least that’s my intention!
I’m also going to have a look at the instructions on an old colour printer that decided to play up months ago,. It was abandoned as G wasn’t up to looking at it and I really thought it had had its day. There’s nothing to lose.

The numbers of Covid cases in America is really concerning. It’s obviously an enormous country but the numbers are horrific

Have a good Friday.

[Lizzie48]

Yes Clover, eco friendly! Some people complain of what they leave behind, but, will complain about anything! I am pleased GS is improving, poor boy.

Good luck with the printer, and yes, the Covid cases are very high in America.
