(possibly disney?- but I hope not!) It's such a shame about the weather because it's at a lovely hotel and it did/does include outdoor activities with the mini princesses attending. ☔ Everything crossed that the rain stops for you or that they can make the 'outdoor' activities into indoor ones or that they have a big marquee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 Good morning - 'tis Friday (I do realise that 12:50 is not actually morning but it would feel unlucky not to give my usual Friday greeting!) Hope everyone is okay and that for those still working the first week has gone well. Beautiful weather here at the moment - long may it last (it won't) We have our youngest granddaughters birthday to look forward to on Sunday - she will be 9 - hard to believe... Have a lovely weekend all x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It certainly is Friday AGAIN! A good week here.... using pefect time the granddaughter finally caught chicken pox on Saturday! We'd been on tender-hooks all last week as over half her nursery class were off. We couldn't tell her about last weeks (expensive non-refundable)afternoon tea until the day- just incase, but we had a lovely afternoon, then Saturday morning the first spot arrived 😳! All nicely scabbed over now, and perfect timing for her holiday in two weeks time 😁 Have a good weekend eveyone. xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Well it's Sunday here! I've been a bit of a slug today. I have some planning I must get done before yesterday (I mean tomorrow - but that mistake probably says everything about my brain at the moment!) but I cannot motivate myself. I can't motivate myself to do much else either really. I hope the birthday party has gone brilliantly Sunnyday and Louby I'm impressed at your granddaughter's good timing! I might just slug for a little longer and then hope desperation works as a motivator! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 Just had conversation with youngest son - he asked are you watching football on Sunday - I said well yes, of course - he said so are you coming here - lovely - I wondered why he hadn't mentioned it before - think he just took it for granted that big matches are watched at his place - so big whoop we will enjoy that! ⚽ (is that a football - who knows😂) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted June 14 Author Share Posted June 14 I have two youngest grandchildren here... They were looking through some old school books that they have brought home with them... Granddaughter (9) said "I missed so much of Year R) - I said "eh, did you, why" and she said "lockdown" - she went on to say that it makes her feel sad when she thinks about it adding "we couldn't even see you and granddad". Isn't that just too sad 😥 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Thank you Sunnyday! That is sad your granddaughter remembering missing reception. We’re teaching ‘Covid’ as part of history next autumn an I know that they won’t remember it - it’s definitely had an impact on them though. Enjoy your football celebrations! I’m with both of you on the weather - have been hot and cold. This afternoon I had to close my classroom blinds as the children said the sky looked ‘like the BFG was coming’ and were all distracted looking for rainbows! I drove home through torrential rain and am now curled under a blanket on the sofa. We’ve survived the PSC this week, just about survived my toughest class ever and am very ready for the weekend. My nephew has his last GCSE on Tuesday so he will be thrilled they’re over. I made cheese and marmite sausage rolls which went down well at school. 6 weeks to go… 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten to update the new bank card details- mindyou it took 6 weeks for them to notice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted June 21 Author Share Posted June 21 Good morning - 'tis Friday Hope everyone is okay? I have had a fairly busy week, today is the first day with nothing 'extra' to do. The birthday celebrations were lovely - four generations present with ages ranging from 3 - 95 - that's pretty special in my books ❤️ The least said about the football the better 😧 Enjoying the tennis, although haven't had much time to watch so far. Sun is shining here - yay! Wishing the best of weekends to all x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueFinanceManager Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Hi sunnyday Sun is shining here too...about time lol 3 - 95 - how wonderful...hope you took lots of photos 💗 The football.....hmmm well think Gareth Southgate might have lost the plot. I know players cannot always play were they normally play for their own teams but some of the roles seem a bit bonkers and it's no wonder players are not performing well 🥺 Anyway, have wonderful weekends one and all and hopefully the good weather will last 🙏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 The sun was shinning! Early this morning on the beach it was absolutely beautiful but now it is pouring, I cannot see the end of the field through murk and it’s cold! But I’m sure I can hear my allotment giving a big cheer! Busy week on the holiday changeovers and really making the most of non muddy dog walks as well! I am still feeling utterly blessed to being able to have this lovely work life balance at the moment. Two years on from giving up work and so wish I had done this years ago! We attended the funeral of a 96 year old neighbour this week, I was talking to his wife after her first night back at home since he died and she broke my heart! They had been married 70 years. Just cannot imagine how that must feel. Have a lovely weekend all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 Beautiful weather - isn't it lovely and I'm so glad it was this week as we've had two trips which have gone well. It's warm enough for me to contemplate removing a layer of blanket from my bed and possibly not having a hot water bottle tonight! ;-) 5 weeks to go... Nothing much planned for the weekend although my nephew finished his GCSEs this week so has his first weekend free of revision and he and the rest of the family are coming up to mum and dad's so I'm hoping to see them on Sunday. Tonight is just about 'chilling' and possibly knitting a little more on some rainbow socks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
