sunnyday Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Youngest granddaughter is here today - oh my actual goodness I had forgotten how much she talks, non-stop since I picked her up this morning 😂 most of it starts with "nana shall we just....." or "nana I'm going to...…" Five minutes respite now as she is off 'making music' with grandad - yay! btw "nana it's amazing, I love making music" 🤣 Thought I would just pop on here to see if young Froglet had posted today as she wasn't feeling well ……. hmm no sign then 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

louby loo Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Good to hear you're feeling a bit better today. 💐🍪☕ I posted off my accounts today, so I now feel a weight of my shoulders 😃 I did try and submit online yesterday but I couldn't get logged in- hence the wine so early. Relaxing day after that visiting granddaughter. Obviously not chatting yet - so didn't have sunnydays issues 🤣 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 It's all very quiet here now - she has just gone home - that was easily the best 24 hours that I have had in the last 5 months - she really is a dear little girl Right, I need to put my house back together and then try and find my way into the 'policies and procedures' section EYA - I struggle every year with this! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Good morning all - another Friday - right I need things to slow down a bit now as I am not really getting on with the old TDL...... We are forecast temperatures of up to 37 degrees in this part of the country - phew, I can't cope with that, although I am loathe to admit it, that is definitely an 'age thing', it used to be that it was never too hot for me Have been out for a walk and now I really am going to get on with the aforementioned TDL, I have a fan on it's highest setting and it feels fairly comfortable at the moment Hope the weekend is kind to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondie Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) It is very hot here too and has been since 8 am when I put some washing on the line to "fry" (literally) in the sunshine. Curtains drawn, fan going and like you it is OK atm - but will get hotter - we are never happy with the weather - it is always "too hot / cold /wet etc.," . Have a lovely weekend and take care in this sunshine. Edited August 7, 2020 by blondie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s warm here too but my little house comes into its own in the summer when it stays fairly cool inside so that’s where I am! The TDL isn’t coming along brilliantly when it comes to work things but other things are making progress. I’ve almost finished the housewarming gift I’m making. I have finished the shawl I was making which is currently pinned to my living room as I block it. Joy of joys a delivery arrived this morning which meant I could get started on my next project... I’m going to have a go at knitting socks! 3cm done so far! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh socks - that's ambitious - my dear old mum used to knit socks (amongst other things) I seem to recall much muttering about 'turning the heel'🤣 in photos my 'boys' were always dressed in identical jumpers courtesy of granny's knitting - they say things like "what were you thinking of mum" - well I thought they looked just lovely!

Always fancied having a go. If it works I’ll start producing matching balaclava and sock sets (I can see the Etsy shop now 😂). This is where I’m at right now! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunnyday Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 My day so far A walk before the sun got up (oh and it rained here at 7am, had to dash out and get the garden furniture cushions in!) Two loads of washing through and on the line Potatoes dug, cucumber and toms harvested - the blessed polytunnel was a crazy temperature Chicken cooked - will have this cold with salad and our own spuds for dinner this evening A lovely visit from eldest son (we still sit outside appropriately distanced), we were talking about the rules (amongst other things) finding it hard to remember what we are/are not supposed to be doing now - bring back the daily briefings I say! Other than that I have been hard at work on the old TDL whilst hiding from the heat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a little bit so far when I realised that I hadn’t read the pattern properly but it didn’t affect the number of stitches or anything like that so I ignored it. I feel more sock making coming on this afternoon - I feel like I need an appropriate DVD to hVe on at the same time - Miss Marple, Anne of Green Gables? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I have been hard at work on the old TDL whilst hiding from the heat What a perfect day so far! I feel the same about what I currently can or can’t do. The BBC has a current social distancing rules item on its news app which is useful. I think the little things are going to need getting used to and remembering. I bought a car this morning and after that have resolved to make sure I carry a pen with me everywhere. The man I was talking to wore a mask the whole time, screen on the desk between us, sanitiser on entry etc but every time I needed to sign something he handed me the pen he’d been using round the edge of the screen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My MIL used to knit socks mainly for FIL, but my OH has taken to wearing them especially during the winter over the top of his normal socks to keep his feet warm when out walking, however, it has brought on the need to learn darning! 🤕 I am very similar to you, in that I need something very familiar on the dvd while doing things, nothing which requires my concentration to follow, but something I have seen many times, then I can concentrate on whatever it is I'm trying to do. Can't bear working/creating in silence. Watching Miss Marple always makes me want a good pot of tea and cake/scones though!

I did listen to a very familiar audiobook the other day while crocheting - it feels odd to create in silence. It might be Miss Marple - I can do tea and scones and I do love the tidying up scene in 4.50 from Paddington! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted August 8, 2020 Author Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) I do love the complete randomness of this thread 😂 I like a bit of 'quiet' if I am being creative or working Mr S on the other hand always has 'something on' - at present he is in his workshop, no idea what he is up to but it involves power tools, radio is on but I'm sure he can't hear it 🤦♀️ Oh - I can darn panders - chuck the socks my way!

blondie Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 I have so much admiration (and envy) for people who can crochet something (other than a square) and can knit something (other than a matinee jacket or small girls cardigan) - it is just beyond me and as for using more than two needles ! I do however make a very good chocolate chip and cherry cake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
