Good Summer-time Sunday morning to everyone.

Nanto - taste of things to come? Relaxing in the sunshine with a glass of bubbly.

Oma - you must have been so pleased to see M and C. Great news to hear that C is looking well. xx

Lizzie - I'm sure your friend will enjoy her caravan break after all that treatment. Your other friend's DD is having a touch time. I hope she comes through it all safely.

Gem - that deck sounds as though it was built to last! Well done to S for getting to grips with it. Enjoy your relaxed day.

I need to spend time in the kitchen today. DS1 and DIL are coming for lunch to celebrate being able to have 6 people in the garden. I thought I'd keep it simple with a cottage pie so I can dish it up in the kitchen. We're out of bread and cakes so I need to bake as well.

Daisy, enjoy your family lunch, first of many I hope.

Lizzie, I hope the sun shines for your friend.

Most of my clocks change themselves, but not my bedroom electric clock, I thought it did so stayed in bed a bit longer than I expected. I just have the heating clock to change. I think I will give the sun room an airing, who knows I might be using it soon.

Oma, how nice for you to have a visit from M and C. How is your balance, when do you talk to a doctor?

[Oma]

Im not too bad thank you Plant , I speak to the Dr on Wednesday about that and have more tests coming back about my white cell count so see what happens with that ,
We spent ages doing our clocks before bed last night then this morning remembered our watches had to be changed

Gem SIL took their Decking out a couple of summers ago it was hard work , theirs stretched across the back of the house , some planks were very rotten but others were a pig to get up .

Daisy enjoy your lunch it will seem very strange

Lizzie that poor girl , life is throwing a lot at that family isnt it .

[Daisy]

Good morning everyone on Meet your Family and Friends Day.

I hope everyone has something nice happen today as we take our first baby step out of the long lockdown.

Stay safe everyone. xxx


It's not often I get on here before Nanto, but I want to finish off getting lunch ready so I can relax and enjoy seeing DS and DIL later.

[Gemini]

Good morning everyone.
Daisy, I'm so happy for you that you get to have the family lunch today I hope the weather is kind.

Good morning, sunny after a dull, windy and cold day yesterday. I have been to the Lidl and came back and decided to paint 2 concrete plant containers I have on the front, a couple of years ago they were down in the hall for someone to take, as I am an early bird, I saw them and took them, they are very heavy so I had to get a trolley to put them on. Months later a friend came up here, the one with Alzheimers, she told me they were hers and she got them when they lived on Curacau, they lived there a few years, her hubby died whilst they were there, sad, she told me the containers were made by the prisoners on the island so they have a story behind them.

[Oma]

Good morning ladies ,

Gem hope all ok with Dentist , i must make a appointment too ,

Daisy such a lovely day to look forward too , hope the weather stays reasonable for you xx

Lizzie its nice to find out about the plant pots what colour are you painting them ?

We have a small TV in the Kitchen it usually stands on the breakfast bar bit but B at the moment busy putting it on the wall out of the way ,
It only gets used if he is busy in the kitchen and wants to watch something ,

After that we popping to the garden centre I want some Crocosmia bulbs if I can get them , if I cant I will have to order them online .

IMG_4245.jpgIMG_4248.jpg Oma, they are off white, whilst in the UK a couple of years ago, at B&Q I discovered paint for outdoors, covers almost any surface, I use it for the potting table and then 2 large pots I had. I will be very upset when the pot is empty! This is before and after. These are not the concrete ones or I would never be able to move them!

[Plantaholic]

A good find Lizzie, you are so enterprising. A very good story behind those pots.

Daisy, I hope the sun shines for your family lunch.

Gemini, I hope the trip to the dentist goes okay and not too expensive.

Nanto, roast dinner today, yum yum. Your OH is a very lucky man.

No real plans for today, I might clean the bathrooms unless anything else takes my fancy.

[Lizzie48]

These are the concrete ones. IMG_9228.jpgIMG_9229.jpg

[Gemini]

I'm back, after a very difficult extraction involving two dentists and a stitch
I am told to rest today, so that is exactly what I am doing! I can't eat until 2pm, which of course makes me hungry!

Lizzie, you are so good at DIY and restoring things!
Yummy dinner Nan2.

[Lizzie48]

Oh dear Gem, I hope you soon feel better! Thanks! I do enjoy messing about!!!!

[Oma]

Ouch Gem , take it easy and maybe have a nap , extractions are a shock to the system xxxx

Lizzie they must weigh a ton but are nice planters

[Clover]

Gem that extraction was something you could have done without!

I'm sorry but when you mentioned two dentists I visualised one with his knee on your chest yanking away and the other one holding you down!!

Seriously though I hope you do take it easy and enjoy your lunch when you get it.

Lizzie your pots look lovely.
