Oma - a sad afternoon, but i'm glad it went as well as it did.

I've had a busy day with GD2 today. Everything she doesn't want to do is a battle at the moment - the terrible twos, I suppose - so it's tested my ingenuity to get her smoothly through getting in and out of her high chair, getting dressed, and nappy changes as needed. The biggest battle has been getting her off the trampoline which she adores. The easiest one was getting her ready to take their dog for a walk - but then she wanted sole control of the lead. <sigh>

My poor OH has had 'one of those day'. He still has a courtesy car from the accident 2 weeks ago. The repiars to his own car seem to be dogged with problems like wrong parts being sent etc. So this morning he went over to a mate's and got a puncture in the courtesy car, and the mate was out. He eventually got back home, got a phone call to say his car was ready about 4 pm and the garage closed at 5. Left to collect it - about 15 miles away - and never got there because of a massive traffic jam. Eventually he turned round and came home. Then he ran out of petrol. He's gone out to his wood-turning night out tonight, in my car. Should I be worried.

Well, he does sound unlucky with cars ATM, hope he got home safely

[Nanto2girls]

Oh Daisy, poor hubby.Hope things get better when he gets his own car back.

Good morning.

Good morning everyone.

Two of our members have a birthday today! Nan2 and BL, I hope you both have lovely days

This afternoon I collect GD from school and go back to theirs. I have Bara Brith ready to go into the oven when I get up, I will take half to DDs.

[Daisy]

I hope Nanto and BL are having the same lovely sunny day we're enjoying.

OH's car saga continues. He got back home safely in my car last night. Set of early this am to collect his own car and return the courtesy car. He was back an hour later - still in the courtesy car!! When he looked at his own car he noticed they hadn't sprayed the chunk of metal showing on the nearside wing. This was on the original repair estimate approved by the insurance company. So he has to go back tomorrow (Thursday), hopefully to collect his car!! He wasn't a happy bunny.

Yes I think probably we do Plant it's next door to us although 2fields away they have pigs, cows and all the crap literally it comes down the back of the house in lofty loads via a tractor goodness where it goes then, it's pleasant living there but sometimes smelly lol

We had a wasp and a bee in today, but no flies!

One DD with on and off baby blues, one with a poorly little boy with chickenpox - I need to be cloned!!

[Daisy]

It's nice to see the bees buzzing around flowers again, and I don't even mind the occasional wasp since they eat aphids.

Gem - poor DDs and poor you - everything happens at once. xx

[Shemadee]

Insects in my garden are so ungrateful. I plant lots of flowers specially for them then they leave their "calling card" all over the washing that's on the line!

[Oma]

We had a whopper of a Bumble Bee bashing itself off our window today first I have seen this year 😊

[Nanto2girls]

Good morning.



Busy day today, decorator coming at 8 am to do the kitchen. I'll be going to in laws to do some jobs. Hubby will be in charge.

Can't possibly make a meal with decorator here, so we are going to the local pub for something to eat when he's finished.
Went out last night for a birthday meal.That was lovely.
