Morning Looking good there Kev, i think we went to a wedding there once or it may have been my Aunts 90 th birthday. Long time ago This morning I am feeling a lot better though Bob is now suffering a bit. I did not sleep as well as the last couple of nights but I hadn’t taken any medication. The par...

Morning Another sound nights sleep, with minimal medication. I reckon I am over the worse now. We went for a walk yesterday afternoon to the post office and then a short distance down Whitworth Road to a specialist workshop machine repairer. I need some sewing scissors sharpened and after a search o...

Morning That was better, apart from a trip to the loo about 2, I slept from 11.30 till 7.30 pm. This morning i have a thick head but hopefully will now be on the mend as this is day 4 and a bit. I didn’t do pilates and yoga as I felt quite yuk yesterday evening. Maxine has said no to a sewing sessio...

Morning Yes the second one in a month Stanley. This one is just a runny nose and mild congestion , I only had a hint of a sore throat on Saturday evening. I am up in the kitchen with a cuppa as I cannot sleep, and am feeling bored. I have finished one book on my kindle and started another but sleep ...

Afternoon

Taking it easy today as I have another cold. I didn’t go to french but did some grammar myself. I will do my yoga this evening online. I have written some Christmas cards this afternoon. Its a miserable day out there

Morning We had a lovely afternoon with Claire yesterday, a nice opportunity to ignore the awful weather. Erin was doing her homework, of which she seems to get a lot . I helped her just a little with her Biology but it gave us some nice grandma grand daughter time. It was after 5 .00 when we got hom...

Morning Woke up with a start at 7.25 this morning. It was the front door bell being rung by the postman with a parcel delivery for Bob. Now we are both wide awake sat in bed with a cuppa. it was another full day yesterday. An hours cleaning by both of us was followed by a cuppa and a late lunch out....

Morning Only just woken up. I was very tired last night. We had a full day. Art then lunch and we had only been home about half an hour when Lucy came. We made progress, she is coming on well. By the time I got back from walking with her to the bus it was nearly 5.45 pm. Then we had a much needed cu...

Morning Its dark , its damp but its 11 degrees. It's forecast to be the same all day even reaching 13 degrees. Yesterday stayed dry until the evening and we had a pleasant walk into Rochdale and back. We had a browse in Marks and Spencer's to check on the price of a few things for Tairas present fro...

Morning It was a beautiful day yesterday. I wrapped up warm and did some gardening, giving the fuchsias and the roses a light winter prune and then planting up my pots of bulbs. I spread the last bag of manure in the areas where I grow veg and Bob swept up the leaves in the front garden so everythin...

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...
