Happy birthday Sunnyday, hope you have a super day. Xx
-
Quiet week here both work wise and adjusting to life without a son in the house! Absolutely delighted to report he is very happy and settled and loving London life and got a job on Wednesday which starts on Monday. So proud of him, but do miss him.

Sue!🤨🤨it’s October, what an earth has come over you? Don’t let the “keep it in December” team down!
-
Glad you are feeling better Sunnyday.
-
Hope you soon feel better Sunnyday. Look after yourself. Well my youngest son is moving to London tomorrow, he’s so excited. I am however, an emotional mess! Can’t believe both my boys have now grown and flown the nest. Just where does time go? Need to put my big girl pants on to say goodbye tomorrow!

We’ve had quite good weather this week but my brother in Kent said the rain has been relentless. Been gorgeous today but the rain has just started and meant to be here all week! Will be digging those welly boots out me thinks! Have a lovely weekend all.

I have never heard of anyone mowing around daisies! He must really have loved them to do this. Sending you love Cait. Xx

Dear Cait, so very very sorry to hear your news. I hope him being at home and peaceful will bring you comfort. You are in my thoughts. Xx

Amazing total Sunnyday. I just think it’s a cause so close to literally everybody that people are always generous. Mousketer have you had flooding where you are? Some places looked awful on the news this morning.

Louby what a nightmare. Hope it gets sorted soon. Sunnyday enjoy not cooking for two days, what a treat. Although saying that I am loving being back in a kitchen, I’m sure the novelty will wear off soon though! What a fab week of weather we have had, it’s been a real beauty here. Shame about what the weekend is going to bring! Wellies back out I think. Have a lovely weekend all.

Beautiful day here today. Quick freshen up ready for guests at the cottage, then took Mum to Sainsbury’s as she has just returned home from Kent and desperately needed some shopping but was feeling unwell with a chest infection bless her. I was delighted when she let me drive her in instead of being her usual pig headed independent self! Then took the dog up on the cliffs for a beautiful walk, wow was it hot! Let’s hope it lasts. Just looked out the window and it’s a beautiful sky tonight. Hope the weekend is kind to everyone.

Beautiful morning here and then the rain set in! Hubby and son have been cutting the oak counter tops today and we’re literally on the last one as the rain started. Luckily we have a big parasol and that kept the rain of the wood! Kitchen is coming on but due to unforeseen glitches it’s nowhere near finished and hubby returning to work on Monday(for a rest) so the rest is going to be done over weekends😬 I used to love the back to school feeling in September and then by the end of the first week used to countdown to half term!🤣 Off to our sons tonight for tea. He’s cooking beef bourguignon so will make a break from limited shed cooking! Have a love,y restful weekend all.

All the best to everyone going back next week. Mouseketeer reading your post brings back memories and I’m so very glad I am not doing that anymore! Hope you have a smooth start to the term. cannot wait for it to get a bit quieter down here again, which it should do this week. As Mum said it will be the newly weds and nearly dead’s (or golden oldies) for the next couple of months. Still no kitchen! But all the prep work is done, self levelling floor went down yesterday, so waiting for that to dry then it’s all action stations for kitchen fitting next week. I cannot wait. Have a lovely weekend all.

That’s very funny Sunnyday. Nothing like looking for a bit of Granny sympathy!

Such unsettled weather at the moment. One minute it’s hot and the next it’s pouring and windy! Well my husband is currently stripping out our kitchen ready to fit a new one. We are literally getting rid of everything right down to the flooring. So currently cooking in the shed with. Slow cooker, air fryer and a tiny hob plate! The biggest challenge for me is surviving the upheaval and mess, which I don’t do well! It will be worth it in the end though. I guess the summer hols are coming to an end soon? (I am so out of touch now I have no idea on term dates) so I hope you all enjoy the rest of the time you have. Happy weekend all.

I recently made focaccia for the first time and it was delicious. I use a stand mixer and you have to have the dough really, really wet. I then transferred it into an oiled rectangular container for its first prove and then into a baking tin for the second prove. I also found really digging your fingers in really deep over and over before the cooking really helped the texture. Well today’s weather has been lovely which after the horrible weather yesterday is a relief. My Granddog went into be spayed yesterday but it couldn’t be done as she is having a false pregnancy! It’s a shame as we were all dreading it as she is a funny little soul who does not like strangers. It’s just prolonging the agony now! Have a good weekend all.

I just don’t know where the weeks go! Time seems to fly by so quickly! Lots of jobs this week and much dog walking, my dog and grand dog. It’s very busy down here and counting down the weeks until it starts to quieten down a bit! Been loving the Olympics and have watched as much as possible. Hope Zebedee is beginning to feel better. Xx

We hear you Louby!!🤣🤣
-
It was very different! Really not my favourite opening ceremony at all. Loved Celine dion, thought she was amazing. Also liked the horse on the river and the minions! The rest was ……. actually have no words!!

Sunnyday, my Mum is 88 and is a volunteer cook, server, helper at the ‘old people’s lunch’ EVERYONE she cooks for are younger than her! She also helps out at another community lunch and with the dementia cafe! Thats in between Pilates class, keep fit, table tennis and walking everyday! Honest to good she is amazing. I hope I am as fit and able at that age!!
-
Bet Froglet will be a happy lady later! Lovely day at last down here and no work today so a Massive veggie garden weed today ( or until I get fed up). Very happy that the Olympics is starting, looking forward to that. Have a very lovely weekend all.
-
All good, just been totally rubbish about checking in here! Thank you for thinking of me. Xx

Louby Lou, I am so pleased you have got to the place you are now, well done! What you say is so true, I never got to that point when I was still working, but can see it plain as day now I am out of it. I worried way too much, did far too much out of hours and unpaid, and took on far too much myself. And actually probably half of it wasn’t actually totally necessary anyway. Mousie, you need to switch off and have a total break at some point during the holiday and I hope you can do that, maybe Louby can mentor you! sunnyday, glad you are enjoying the singing. They have a choir down in the cove and I was on the beach when they were practicing the other day. Sounds like a lot of fun! Sadly I’m completely tone deaf and would either get expelled or everyone else would leave! I get what you are saying about the dog voice! I’m the same with my dog and grand dog. And my husband constantly thinks im talking to him! The weather down here has been atrocious, so much rain, it’s just insane. The poor garden doesn’t know if it’s coming, going, been or gone! If we don’t get sun soon I might just hibernate!
