Morning A very cold clear morning, following a similar day yesterday. Bob cleared the leaves whilst I carried on with my sewing. With much relief I realised that my lesson with Maxine is not tomorrow but next Wednesday. As happens sometimes I have had to redo several times the basic task of putting ...

Cold, very cold but not raining. However too cold to garden. Perhaps tomorrow when some degree of sun is forecast

Morning Its going to be a dull but dry day today. I have French at Haslingden this morning. This afternoon i shall finish the last of my sewing for Wednesday, this evening I have yoga. Thats it. However I may abandon the sewing in favour of planting my Spring bulbs, as I need to get them into pots s...

Bob will probably still go to the park as they now have some new young members ( 16 to mid 20 s) who are keen to meet up whatever the weather. Have a good day all One of the guys I work with has a neuro diverse son, he's 8 years old and loves trains. There is a model railway he goes to regularly (i...

Morning Well we had a really yukky day yesterday , what a good job I was busy. I gave the house a really good clean apart from washing the floors which I will do today. A pilates friend called round after lunch for a chat and to sign Tairas birthday card and give me her contribution to the present. ...

The forecast says cloud and sun this afternoon….its thick thick mist

Morning

We have had fine rain, its 4 degrees but apparently feels like minus 2. It should reach 6 this afternoon. Bob is out all day at Urmston helping deliver a seminar on bolier testing, as in boilers on model trains. I shall fill my day with cleaning, washing and sewing . Have a good day all.

Morning It appears I didn’t write yesterday again, thats due to the dark mornings sleeping later then rushing to get out of the house on time, in this case for art. So yesterday was art, and in the afternoon a lesson with Lucy. The highlight of the day was resolving my issue with my medical records,...

Morning Its a chilly clear morning, A little precipitation of some sort is forecast this morning but then dry for the rest of the day. Yesterday was sleet, but mainly rain which continued most of the day. We went to town by car as we did need to go to our own bank as well as to take the train money....

Bubble and squeak

Season's greetings Sue! We have significant rain here but it could have started as snow, I was in bed having Second Sleep. Stay inside and keep warm and dry..... That's what I shall be doing. Oh and cooking attractive savoury cabbage and onions. I learned a long time ago that it was an advantage to...

So much for the walk. Its snowing…it was forecast for tomorrow

Morning Its not nice out there, drizzly and cold. I am not sure if we are going to the bank, being a sunny day on Sunday I think the little train took about £90. Worth of train rides. I don’t mind walking in drizzle but not keen if it gets heavy. Otherwise today I will plod on with my suit jacket wh...

I think it was what is described as a challenge run not a fun run . He has done several over the years and trained for a year for this one . This is by far the longest but believe me for a 50 year old he is jolly fit. The other categories were not 48 hours, only the serious runners did that. Some on...

Morning Water divining is a ´thing’ . We have done it on our field in France, for fun really, but it does work. Bob has used it to find water pipes in floors. There was certainly plenty of water fell on Friday. Hope you can solve the problem Wendy. Talking of Friday, my son in law did another endura...

Morning I slept like a log last night, having come to bed early and waking up just now at nearly 7.00 am. Today being Sunday it will be a typical day, a bit of cleaning, some sewing, a bit of cooking and Bob out at the park. I also want to go in the greenhouse where my potato bags are sitting. I gro...

Evening
Just realised I did not write today. Bad nights sleep, awake 3 till 6 then slept till after 8. Out just after 9 then lunch with my sister. We didn’t get home till 4. I lost track of time. Hope you all had a good day. Saw on facebook you were busy in your poly tunnel Wendy

Morning Its a cold wet day today. 7 degrees, wind snd rain. I shall run the vacuum cleaner found this morning, well Bob will, and titivate the bathrooms. Not much to do as we have only been home since Tuesday evening. However I have my usual landslide of sewing debris between the sewing room and din...

Morning Well that was a better nights sleep and waking about 10 minutes ago at a more civilised hour than three in the morning. We went to the cemetery with flowers yesterday to find that the old section where we were going had been fenced and padlocked off for safety reasons. There are many old and...

Morning I am awake early, still on french time, so time to read what has been going on here over the last couple of days. Wendy it was good to hear you have been out and about and staying with friends. A bit of normality for you after a difficult few months. Kev, the bedroom looks good. You wouldn't...

We found St Malo a really interesting place to wander around. Morning Yes it is but we could not park anywhere near the main town. However the small bay just beyond was easy to park at and very pleasant to walk round. Particularly interesting was the renovated wartime boat as per my posting on Sund...

Morning
We are at the port. It was hard getting up at 6.45 when we have been waking up at 8.00. It's raining and due to rain on the crossing with a medium wind. Arriving at Portsmouth at 6.15 and staying over night there. Have a good day all.

Just had a walk round o e of the bays at St Malo a d found this boat. It was renovated in 1999. https://weristwalter.eu/project/ile-de-sein/ Used June 1st 1940 by the youth of the Ile de Sein .mentioned in the article. It was previously a postal boat. It returned in 1946 and became a sand dredger . ...

Morning Thats a good start to the morning. I knocked my glass of water over my pillow, the corner of the bedding and mattress, plus bedside table, and carpet. I now have to dry it before I can make the bed ie before we leave after lunch. Its thick fog outside so sun won’t do it so I am sitting here ...

I can't believe it's two weeks Sue.... I have just finished cutting my pork belly up and putting it in the slow cooker with Onions, oranges and spices. I've decided I need milk so I shall get my walk but just at the moment we have drizzle... We left home on the Sunday morning , arrived here Tuesday...
