Raining in Stoke this morning . Perhaps we brought it with us

Morning I hate Rochdale weather, it rained heavily all day yesterday , cold( 11 degrees) with strong winds. We even struggled to pack the car at 6.30 pm as it was torrential rain bouncing off the ground. We were only about 5 miles away when there was no sign of any rain, and obviously little all day...

Isn’t it today you are meeting family for fish n chips in the square

Morning all And it looks like another wet one like yesterday. Amazingly S Manchester was dry and several degrees warmer yesterday. It was a quiet morning here, leaving for Christies about 1 as we had a few calls to make on the way. We arrived in time for a coffee before the appointment at 3.15. But ...

It took over two years for my brother and his wife to sell his first house in France in the Limousine region. Morning I believe the average time for selling is 3 to 5 years around us. When our friend Audrey moved back to the UK it took 5 years. We will not be seeking to make a huge profit just to s...

We always planned to sell before we were 80. Its 20 years this July since we saw it and finalised in the October, we have had a great 20 years but yes it comes with problems keeping it on. No rush yet but plans are in motion. First finish titivating the decoration and clearing accumulated rubbish

Morning Bank holiday Monday and wet, how unusual🤣.Claire, Adam and Erin are coming for lunch and Adam is going to help Bob get some old chairs out of the loft. They reside next to a little railway line he has up there and has been there since the girls were 9 and 11. Claire suggested they may be wor...

.That was Scott and Bailey, filmed around Manchester. The Police Sation was a former Barclays Bank in Bury. The co star was Lesley Sharp who also featured in "Redeye"….. Morning Yes thats it. It was a very good programme worth watching over and over again on repeats. It crops up every so o...

Talking of Oldham Council, our friend K… worked for the council for many long years, as assistant Chief Ex, and later business development manager. He has been retired over 15 years, all names with held to protect the innocent

Morning The sun is out at last, after three days of continuous rain, well it is for today anyway. I shall have to get out in the garden and prune a particularly large shrub that has finished flowering. First its Bacup market. Suranne Jones played Ann Lister , Stanley. She started in Coronation Stree...

Morning

Its Friday so u3a art followed by lunch out, maybe a bit of work on Jane’s dress later.

It’s still raining and everything in the garden has grown to twice the size, hopefully flowers will arrive next time we have any sun.

Have a good day all

Morning It was a horrendous drive to Christies, driving rain and mist, and rush hour traffic creating a huge splash zone. It took us one hour 40 minutes but we arrived early enough to have a coffee before the appointment. We were home by 12.30, a much faster return journey having called for my presc...

Morning

Up and out early, we have to be at Christies for 9.00 for a CT scan. We must leave by 7.15 am or get stuck on the M60.

Dental appointment OK, just a clean and no treatment needed….at last.

Rain today, have a good day all

Morning We didn’t get to the bank yesterday as we were not sure if Jane was calling round. Instead I sewed and Bob was in his workshop. This morning is a dental checkup for both of us and then we may walk into town. It will be a late lunch if we do. I have pilates and yoga in the studio at 5.15. Tha...

Morning Not as sunny today but still dry. I actually had to water my pots of plants yesterday as they have dried out. I had a busy day, finishing the toile for Janes dress, washed, ironed and spent a few hours in the garden. I now have only a few plants left in the greenhouse and hopefully they will...

Morning What a beautiful morning and the forecast is for the same all day. I think Bob is going to be busy at the park and I shall be busy in the garden. Following our trip to the Plant Dude I have a couple of plants to put in , squashes to pot on and there is a little weeding and dead heading to do...

Morning There I was quietly reading my book, and had been since 5.15 am when Bob’s bedside alarm went off at 6.30 am. Eventually he woke and after a VERY awakening 5 minutes the alarm was still ringing. Be both tried to stop it to no avail so I pulled the plug on the clock which is electric. The ala...

Morning Woke at 2, back to sleep at about 5.30 , it was 7.30 when I woke again. The birds were very noisy about 4.20 . This morning we need to post a parcel, take Kath’s very large geranium back to her house as it has spent the winter in our conservatory, IMG_1731.jpeg pop over to Maxine's for an ol...

Morning I am still waking an hour early, a week after returning home from France. Nothing wakes Bob, he is out for the count and will be for another 30 minutes. Yesterday was productive , Maxine and I made a pattern from one of Janes dresses so that I can make her more of the same. It is an interest...

We haven't even been offered a Covid booster. I just checked and its over 75 years only, but Col should have been offered one. Morning Bob had his booster some time before we went to France, it was because he is over 75 and nothing to do with his state of health. We didn’t walk into Rochdale yester...

I gave my dinner suit to Susan for a fancy dress evening with instructions to take it to the charity shop afterwards. (It fitted her surprisingly well actually!) Today I shall be in the shed making tiny parts and doing fiddly things. The sooner these small bits are over the better! Morning When Mum...

Morning Sue.... Don't get too engrossed in washing. Make sure you have a rest. I am following my own advice and am off to bed for second sleep. :biggrin2: Towels are easy, wash, hang on line, take off line, fold and put in airing cupboard till next required. I have just been potting up in the green...

I was wrong about the thunder, we got a two hour display but not a great deal of rain..... I shall be in the shed this morning doing more tiny turning.......I am getting close to the end of this project thank God! All I can see for the rest of the day is a walk and sit on traffic duty..... :biggrin...

Morning What a busy day. Jane left after breakfast, and I washed her bedding and ours. I think the tea stain came out but thankfully the colouring of the bedding will hide any stain that remains. Before Bob went to the park he fetched the cases out of the loft containing our summer clothes. I spent ...
