sunnyday Posted May 1 Author Posted May 1 Good morning - as zigzag said - 'tis Friday! Busy week here - 'operation sort out' at my dear late MIL's house is almost complete - we have done all that we can manage and now a house clearance company are booked for next Thursday/Friday they are eye wateringly expensive but there you go, it is what it is - one bonus is that they clean the house when they have finished - which saves me the job! Operation sort out here - hmmm - what can I say - next week possibly/maybe 🤦♀️🤣 Today will find me out in the garden - very much my happy place. Nothing much planned for Saturday/Sunday - will just take it as it comes... On Monday - Mr S, eldest son and youngest grandson are off fishing - grandson's request - wonder how he will last before getting bored! Sure he will love the ducks, geese and moorhens on the lake if nothing else. Wishing you all a great weekend full of things and people that you enjoy x 2 Quote
louby loo Posted May 1 Posted May 1 I can't believe how fast the weeks are going! Usual weekly stuff going on. Just back from a nice lunch with Andy after a hosiptal eye check up for him. Out Sunday... might be a bbq- might not! Such weird weather at the moment- very hot here Monday, then freezing Tuesday 🤷♀️😂 Hope everyone has a good weekend whatever they are doing. Cx 1 1 Quote
Froglet Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Pretty quiet week here, lots of crochet which has meant two visits to the yarn shop - I'm trying not to buy yarn unless I need it so am waiting until I finish a ball before I buy a new one. I have a doll that comes from my old school that I've been asked to make clothes for. I've just crocheted it a cardigan and then will go looking through my fabric collection to see what else I might make. I have enjoyed several breakfasts and lunches outside - it's way too hot for tea time and it's making me ponder what to plant. I've been thrilled with my gardening experiments so far. Have a lovely weekend everyone! PS. Carrot cake is on next week's baking plan... 1 2 Quote
sunnyday Posted May 8 Author Posted May 8 Good morning - 'tis Friday The three generation fishing trip was a great success - youngest grandson is well and truly hooked (see what I did there!) House Clearance at MIL's house is complete phew! Next step is Estate Agent valuations (two maybe three not sure) This evening we are off to a surprise 70th birthday meal - one of Mr S's many cousins - will be good to see everyone and it not be at a funeral far too much of that has happened recently. Weekend - not sure what we are up to will take it as it comes... Happy weekend all x 2 Quote

We had a lovely doggy walk, just my daughter and I with them. Nice phone call from my son when we were having a picnic, watching the steam engines nipping back and forth along the NYMR. Just one person noticeably missing, or it would have been perfect. 3 Quote

Froglet Posted Wednesday at 18:43 Posted Wednesday at 18:43 Cait - even more belated Happy Birthday. A doggy walk is a lovely way to spend the day. I'm so glad it was almost perfect. xx 1 Quote
sunnyday Posted 15 hours ago Author Posted 15 hours ago Good morning - 'tis Friday Lovely to see the sun this morning - horrible weather here most of the week... We are just off to meet yet another Estate Agent - this will be number 3 - one for Probate valuation and two for Sales appraisal... Not sure what we are doing this weekend Have a good one! x Quote
Froglet Posted 14 hours ago Posted 14 hours ago Happy Friday! I wasn't well last week so never got around to posting. Grim, cold weather here too although the sun did come out yesterday and I went to Calke for a walk and a look at the stunning wisteria in the walled garden. I'm pondering what to tackle in the spare room next. My brother asked this week if I would like to have my niece to stay during the summer holidays so I need somewhere to put her! It will be the first time she's ever stayed over with me and apparently she cheered when he told her I'd said yes! I'm not working today but have told my job share that I'll go in at the end of the day to help set up the classroom ready for next week. I'm finding it hard to get my head around the classroom areas/set up and although I don't intend to make a habit of it I think it will help me to learn and understand what's going on. Continuous provision has changed since I was teaching in Foundation! Other than that no particular plans for the weekend although I really should try to do some gardening - I'm very excited because my alliums are on the point of flowering and I've never grown them before. Have a good weekend everyone! Quote
louby loo Posted 8 hours ago Posted 8 hours ago I almost forgot it's Friday today! Had a really busy week doing nothing very much 😳....... at the moment I would like to sleep for the whole weekend. Hope everyone is well. x 1 Quote
