What are you Doing Today?

[Gemini]

We have a lot of cooking apples on our tree too. Intended to give DD3 some the other day but we both forgot.

Apple crumble and apple sauce making tomorrow 😊

[Nanto2girls]

Nice and bright. According to the forecast pleny of sun this morning.
Hoping to get the garden done before DS2 and his partner come.
Just going to get some towels in the wash.

[Gemini]

Good morning Nan2. We may do a bit in the garden too, I did some tidying out there yesterday,
Good morning everyone else, I hope all are well.

No plans today. Our cat sitter friend will be coming on Thursday for our long weekend away so I may get her room ready, after GS2 staying there on Saturday night.
Oh, I am going to make some crumbles and apple sauce too.

After a lovely day yesterday at my GGD1 3rd birthday party, I am hoping to get in the garden. The borders need a tidying up, it is lovely and sunny so no excuse. I wandered down GS1’s garden during the party to try and see WG’s garden but the hedges were too high but I did see her Juliet balcony but no Juliet. I hope the children didn’t disturb her with the noise they were making.

Oma, that sounds like a busy day to me and I haven’t long been up.

Apple crumbles sound good Gemini. Our cooking apple tree hasn’t been too productive this year and for some reason our very old large Brambly tree is dying.

Nanto, these cool sunny Autumnal days are just right for some gardening. I presume you are feeding your DS and his partner. I bet they queue up to have a meal at your house.

Good Morning ladies happy Sunday to all x
Lizzie I hope things are going well for you and you are feeling brighter today.
Daisy did you have a good journey home ?
Today I am not doing too much DD is calling over later she is not at work today so she is going to help me change my bed linen I can't stretch enough to get the duvet in the corners of the cover so need the help from my girl.

Oma same here for stocks at my Supermarket very bare across the store I can't understand how my Morrisons was bare of lots of stock yesterday they where out of carrots & cauliflower and it was early afternoon not very late at all.

Lamb shanks for Jim & I today I bought a couple from my local butcher as a treat for us I will do with dauphinoise pots and have cheesecake for pudding Jim likes rice pudding but I am not fond so today we are having a change.

My best friend from Liverpool is coming to stay again next week-end she had to cancel her last visit as she came down with Covid the same time as my DD did she is going to come with me to the eye clinic on 3rd October for my eye injection so thats something to look forward I don't think !! It will be good to see my friend Daisy we are off to my favourite soft furnishing shop in West Kirby (by the train station) for a couple of new cushions and fleeces for my lounge they have all JLewis stock & M&S I am hoping for burgundy & cream for the autumn months so the room looks all cosy & warm.

Must be going now my lamb shanks due out of oven soon & pots need preparing for later
Bye for now lovely people xx

HomemadeApple sauce is so much nicer than shop bought 😁

Clover
Those apples may be a pain to peel but so worth it in the end,
I love the smell of Bay and Basil is another lovely smell.

Nanto
What are you making for lunch today 😁

Hallo everyone, not feeling much better, I woke to blood in the catheter bag, I phoned the hospital and the specialist phoned me straight back, he told me it is nothing to worry about, they injected in the tube, the blood would form crusts then then the urine? water? would take the crust with it. I am keeping an eye on the bag and up to now it is clear again.

Then, I wanted to go to the toilet and I was so constipated I almost passed out! I read all the tips etc and after sweating etc for almost 2 hours it actually worked.

Now I feel much better for it, what a happy person a Sunday!

Glam, you are a good neighbour to Jim, he won't mind not having his rice pudding!

[Nanto2girls]

Gardening not being done today. Hubby was late home from car boot sale and visitors have come early. Lizzie,glad you are feeling a bit better now.
Oma, DS asked if we could have meat pie for dinner. So I took a mince and onion pie out of the freezer. I'm serving it with mash, cauliflower cheese, carrots and gravy. Rhubarb crumble and custard for pudding.

[Gemini]

Oh Lizzie, I hope you feel better soon xx

I like your new avatar

Glamma, I love lamb shanks.

I'm glad your GGD had a lovely birthday Plant.


I've made apple crumble for 10. I'm not used to catering for large numbers often! Having a rest now, then on to the apple sauce, much easier to make.

[Plantaholic]

All this talk of food is making me feel hungry.

Glamm, Jim must be so pleased the day you moved in. Love lamb shanks but don’t cook them for myself.

Nanto, I think you enjoy feeding your family, I don’t have that pleasure now, just the odd apple pie or crumble.

[Daisy]

Hello everybody. We are finally back home. To those who thought I would be back on Saturday I can only say "So did I!" I thought OH had booked 7 nights but he'd actually booked for 8, and I didn't notice! D'oh.

We had a good journey home, apart from our Sat Nav trying to insist we went to Runcorn.

The internet worked for almost a whole day while we were at the camp site, so I've got a lot of catching up to do over the next few days!

I'll write about our holiday tomorrow or Tuesday, but tonight I need an early night!

Night, night for now. xx

[Gemini]

Welcome back Daisy

Take your time in catching up!

Good morning ladies.

Aquafit class at 9 and out for my mum's birthday later.
I hope to be here in between but I thought I would check in and say hello in case I'm not on until this evening.
Chilly and cloudy here just now.
