The Daily Drop-in

[Gemini]

Good morning Nan2. Good morning everyone.


I hope you got some sleep Oma.

GS2 and I are up, OH and GD still asleep. GD has to be up at 6 for school all through the week, so if they have nothing on on Saturday morning she likes a lie in

OH and I are out with friends to celebrate a birthday tonight. The Indian restaurant in the village again.
We have things on tonight, tomorrow night and Monday. Then there wont be many more social events before we go away in April.

I hope everyone is feeling well, or better at least.

Gorgeous sunny morning, I still feel half-asleep. Plans for today are pretty boring, I am going to clean my kitchen window inside and the garage window. How is that for excitement. I also need to make some vegetable soup, too many veg getting past their best. I might have a sit in the sunroom later. Rugby later.

Gemini, seems fair for GD to have a sleep in at the weekend, that is an early start for the family on school days. Have a lovely time with friends this evening, you are a social butterfly.

Nanto, I heard we are heading for some hot weather, must clean our the sunroom ready.

Morning ladies
Gem I went up at 5 and slept till 7
Hope GD has a lovely lie in ,Don’t blame you not socialising after the weekend you need to stay safe especially so close to your long awaited holiday xx

Plant the sun makes you see bits that needs doing doesn’t it ,
Yesterday when the sun was shining in the bathroom I noticed water marks on the wall tiles I didn’t see in the gloomy days 🙄

Nanto it supposed to get up to 18 on Tuesday so I read 😁

Havent got a lot of energy this morning, luckily I did a lot of my housework yesterday so this morning it was just a basic flick around and B hoovered for me ,
Then we went to B&Q for a new loo seat for Bathroom ,
I wanted a soft close quick release one ,
The prices are shocking , I could have bought a cheap one but I know I would have changed it in a few month so may as well bite the bullet and get a decent one first time .

Everything is more costly now though isn’t it , nothing really wrong with my old one just the rubber pads under the seat are starting to crack and I think they harbour germs when they start to go and you can’t just buy replacements .

Havve a good Saturday ladies xxx

Plant we are on the same wavelength this morning I have cleaned my kitchen windows and window ledges the sun was showing every mark on the glass I do think a few of Olivers paw prints where on the ledge.
I am also making soup carrot and coriander after buying a bag of wonky carrots in Morrisons yesterday reduced to 10p talk about being a canny shopper ? Jim and I will have it for our evening meal tonight with crusty bread.

Another good night for Henry his previous owner has just rang me she rings every day to check he is OK and has said she will ring less from now on as she is certain he is now settled.

This afternoon I am out socialising with my friend Margaret we just go for coffee & cake I'm taking Henry as the coffee shop has outside tables and we can eat alfresco,its lovely to sit in the sun and this shop has a great suntrap I have fitted the dog restraint in my back seat so he can travel safely in the back.

I'll catch up later today so everyone have a good day. xx

Oma, sorry you had a bad night, you are due for a good one tonight. This lovely sunshine certainly shows up the bits that were missed.

I didn’t get those windows cleaned, I had an invite to go to JL with DD GD! And baby H. I have just had lunch and if I can summon up the energy I will do them now. There are three games of rugby on today, England is not in line for the Championship so might give them a miss and enjoy the sunshine.

Glamm, I think that previous owner of Henry must be very pleased he has settled with you so well. Enjoy your socialising with your friend

[Nanto2girls]

Oma, we have the soft closing easy release loo seats on both of ours. Makes it so much easier for cleaning.

Went to the supermarket this morning. We were talking to someone in the car park,and they said a lot of the shelves were empty.
Well, there wasn't any empty shelves while were in.I got everything i needed and more.

The gardening has been done. Grass is cut,some things have been tidied up.
Looks good,even though i say so myself.

Just having 10 minutes then going to have a nice relaxing shower.

[Gemini]

There were a lot of empty shelves when we went to Tesco last week Nan2. Glad to hear the supermarket was OK for you today.

A lovely sunny day here
GS and I had productive morning creating a whole scene based on Tinga Tales. My role was to stick sheets of coloured paper together for the background and cut out all the birds and animals that GS had drawn (he draws animals so well) He then glued them all to the background.
I will try to post a picture of it during construction!
GD enjoyed a lovely lazy morning and shower, before they went home just after midday. WhatsApp Image 2022-03-19 at 15.31.44.jpg

Gem he is a good artist what a creative mind he has 😁👍

Nanto we have them on both too that’s why I wanted them again , makes cleaning so easy as you say plus no noisy lids dropping during night ,

Plant did you sit in the sunshine or did you do the windows after all .

My Niece went down to our beach today she said it was absolutely freezing and blowing a gale , yet not half a mile inland it was glorious and warm .

I fell asleep on the sofa after lunch had almost a hour but must admit I felt really heavy headed and sluggish when I woke ,
I could have slept on but I may get no sleep tonight again if I did so made myself wake up .

[Lizzie48]

Hallo everyone, a lovely sunny day again but, very windy! I went for my eggs and it was blowing a gale. I had a long bike ride yesterday and really enjoyed it, today I have got my table and chairs on the balcony, decided I won't do it myself in the future, then my neighbour came for coffee and asked why I hadn't asked her to help????

DS1 came yesterday afternoon, always nice for a chat. DS2 and partner are improving slowly from the virus.

Gem, GS2 is very good with drawing etc.xx

Nan2, you have been busy with the gardening etc.

Oma, I do have a 10 minute nap some afternoons, never any longer though. I do sleep well, my only problem is waking early.

[Gemini]

Oma and Lizzie, GS at 5 definitely draws some animals far better than I can!
I do hope you have a much better nights sleep tonight Oma.
Lizzie, yes ask for help next time!

[Nanto2girls]

Gem, he is a much better drawer then i am. Those animals look very good.

The wind got up a bit earlier when we were gardening,but it was good for drying the grass.
It seems to have calmed now.

Yes Lizzie,ask for some help next time.

Hope WG enjoyed the concert last night.

[Daisy]

Just popping in to say 'hello'.

I'm definitely on the mend, although I slept all night and most of the morning (sorry, Oma - I'd send you some of my zzzz's if I could xx) but this afternoon I spent a bit of time pottering outside. It was sunny but quite breezy. I didn't feel up to digging, planting of weeding, so I gave the Box Bunny a much needed trim and deadheaded a hydrangea. By the time I cooked an easy dinner I was shattered again! Still it's progress and I'm starting to feel less woolly headed.

Eva had another walk with Missy and her mum and dad and is so tired she's hardly moved.

I hope other poorly people are also on the mend - and Gem, especially, stay safe. xx

[Lizzie48]

Good morning, Daisy, I am pleased you are slowly improving, just don't do too much too soon.xxx I was chatting to DS2 yesterday, it is the same story, slow improvement.

I will get in touch with the friends daughter and see if I can visit the friend today.

[Oma]

Morning Lizzie /ladies

Lizzie we always think we can do things easy till we start then realise help would have been better 🙄

Sun is out but it’s cold still ,
I slept Ok sort of woke several times went to loo and lay awake for a while but I did go back to sleep so all in all not bad ,

Up early cleaned and hoovered gave my sink a good clean and Polish ,
Had a shower and generally pottered ,
Waiting for B to have his shower then I can get all the towels on to wash ,

We going out for a coffe this morning we usually meet our friends but she isn’t feeling good her legs are painful today so we will just go ourselves ,
Its by the beach so will watch the waves from the cafe window , it’s always cold down there .

Daisy nice to hear your starting to improve but do take it easy ,

Gem how is DD?

WG how was the concert were you warm enough ?

Wonder how our other ladies are who haven’t been on for a while , I do hope they all ok .

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning. Don't know where this morning has gone.

A few weeks ago, i bought some turkey steaks,but we weren't impressed with them.
I don't know why,because we like turkey.
Anyway i cut them up and cooked it yesterday. This morning i mixed them with some ham.
I've made 2 turkey and ham pies. Going to bake one today,the other is in the freezer.

Washed a load of darks,they are out in the sunshine.
Saw the weather forecast this morning and she said it will get warmer over the next few days.
It was snowing in Turkey yesterday.
