Don’t tempt me Sunnyday, when it comes to spaniels I’m a right sucker!

I have my own soggy spaniel thanks Sunnyday and usually my son’s soggy sprollie dog as well! Like a drowned rat I was when I got back with them yesterday! I’m so not ready for wet muddy dog walks again! We haven’t blown away yet! I woke up at 4am and all was eerily calm and quiet, then woke up at 6am and all hell had broken loose! Luckily no damage and no power cut (as yet) but it’s still quite wild. Hope everyone else is safe and in tact.

Mum and I went for a mooch around B&M and the range the other day (what a way to celebrate your 91st birthday) and the range was like Christmas had been sick everywhere! 😱. Although I hold my hands up to buying my GS two of the cutest pairs of Christmas pyjamas!

Ahh darling Sunnyday, hope you have had the happiest of days and have been spoilt. Happy birthday. Xx

Sunnyday, so sorry to hear about your granddaughter hope she makes a speedy recovery. Glad the shed is nearly complete! I expect Mr S is already planning the next one! Shame you don’t live nearer, bass is all my husband is catching at the moment and all I want is pollack! Ohh I want to know what happend at knitting group…. Nothing exciting here this week, same old same old. Grandson is being christened on Sunday so have that this weekend. Froglet that pumpkin cake is great. Clever you. Hope you enjoy half term, can’t quite believe it’s that time already! Have a great weekend all.

I call him a lot worse, he’s used to it!

Couldn’t agree with you more! I will tell him.

The usual week here. Monday had my grandson for the day (best day of the week) then picked him up from nursery at lunchtime on Wednesday and had him for a couple of hours. Work is the usual but slowing up a bit now on the changeovers which is a welcome relief! Mum is doing ok, mood has been good this week! Back to all her clubs and groups which has helped enormously. No change in the face of the eye but is now drinking without having to use a straw which is great progress. Have done some lovely dog walks in this gorgeous weather this week, long may it continue. Poor mr S! Tell him to sort himself out and get normal growing eye lashes! Hope his eye recovers quickly! My husbands refusing ti have his flu jab as is convinced he will be poorly for two weeks afterwards. Trying to persuade him that they offer it to his age group for a reason and he’s damn lucky to be offered it! Watch this space… Have a great weekend all. Xx

Well done Sunnyday. Xx

Hi all. Nothing exciting here either this week. Although blessed with some lovely weather. Just off to take the car in for an MOT and that’s about as exciting as it gets! Am going out for roast on Sunday though. Have a lovely weekend all.

Pen behind the ear and tape measure in hand muttering to himself?

Sunnyday, I have a husband that has two big bloody sheds in the garden and they are still not big enough! He also has a winch house on the beach and then built another bloody shed next to it to store the tractor and kayaks! His dream is to have a boat workshop big enough to put the boat in over winter! This dream is also encouraged by my son! I feel your pain. Xx

Not exciting news to report from down here! Grandson had a good first and second morning at nursery so very happy with that. For someone who worked in childcare for over 30 years I was on tenterhooks all morning! (Really should know better) My brother and his wife have been down this week which has been lovely for Mum. Couple of weeks ago I was at my cottage changeover and thought there was a strange smell in the sitting room, opened the drawer in the coffee table to find a bowl of mouldy, stinking grated cheese!! In the bloody coffee table! 🤯 It was the last straw, and I thought I don’t need this 💩 in my life and handed my notice in! (Very rash for me) I haven’t loved this season, the people have been more demanding, more disgusting and trying to keep the expensive John Lewis white bedding pristine has been a never ending battle. I feel very relieved that I have passed the job to someone else! So enjoying a very relaxed Friday for a change! Hope everyone is well and those back at school are still happy! Have a good weekend all.

Oh my, can’t believe I missed last weeks register call! Glad everyone is ok and all those back to school are having a good start back. Thank you for asking about Mum. She is no better and no worse. The eye still will not shut which is probably the biggest problem. She manages about half a day by using eye drops then has to put a patch on as it is so uncomfortable. The face droop is the same and showing no signs of improvement yet at all. She has started back to some of her clubs and activities which is brilliant for her mental health although she had a huge meltdown at the weekend but has got a grip again now. MY brother and his wife are visiting this week so that’s giving her a boost as well. My grandson celebrated his first birthday last week, where does the time go? It literally blows my mind that he is 1! He has his first day at nursery tomorrow! It’s my old pre-school where they now do day care and babies! I’m collecting him at 1pm as I felt it was a long day until 4pm for his first day. My daughter in law was so relieved when I offered, she is very nervous about leaving him with anyone that is not us Nana’s and Granny’s! walking along the canal sounds blissful. Although I’m spoiled with beaches, cliff tops and countryside!

Was coming here to report that!
