Froglet

Oh Sunnyday, I’m so sorry to hear about your tough week. Sending good wishes for you and your family. Apart from lots of long walks with my doggy house guest I have done very little. I am feeling very lazy and need to do something about that next week!

I knew about snowploughs and gritters - some of them have fantastic names. Always make me wish I'd been part of the naming meeting!

Love that! I hadn’t realised fire engines got names!

Cait, that is such a tough job. I’m glad that there will be other enthusiasts that get to enjoy it. I have to admit to doing a fair bit of my own hoarding of ‘just in case’ bits - especially what I think of as ‘good cardboard boxes’! I have had the laziest of weeks - I’m hoping that it is the heat and that I haven’t actually become a sloth! Sunnyday - I am dog sitting a ‘something doodle’ next week (I can’t remember but she’s visited before and is lovely.

All ok here! Enjoy your me time Sunnyday and hope you get your printer sorted. Louby - I feel your pain, I am still decluttering my spare room. Some days it just feels like I move stuff around. Nothing in particular planned this weekend so a quiet one for me(more time for decluttering! 😉😂)

I’m reading a lot more now I’ve finished at school and I’ve just finished ‘The List of Suspicious Things’ by Jennie Godfrey. Really good - definitely recommend if you haven’t already read.

Hello all, The elbow is a little better - I'm trying to do things for just short periods of time and give it lots of stretches and rests. Have made lots of progress on sorting the room of doom this week - including rediscovering the EYFS pink folder! A couple of walks round the park and a day catching up with a friend - nothing in particular for the weekend! Louby - you reminded me of when my nephew (now looking at universities) was little and I would have to play 'stories' with him and I was invariably the big bad wolf/giant/villain of the moment!

I went to the leavers concert dress rehearsal at my old school this morning and then spent a quick 10 minutes catching up with my old class. Most of them seemed to want to ask me to guess how old they were or to tell me how many sleeps it was until their birthday! I have been trying to arrange for jobs like gutter clearing and I also want to make a 'snagging' list for my house - all those little jobs that need doing. I'm not good at this kind of thing so I really have to make myself! I think that all the knitting and crochet I've been doing whilst it's been good for my head hasn't been good for my arm - my elbow is painful when I move it and all the googling I've done tells me I need to rest it but it's really hard to know what to do with myself! There is tons of building work happening in my road at the moment so I'm looking forward to a peaceful weekend without it and with the opportunity to actually park outside my house!

That is so pretty mouse!

My brain’s a bit mushy today - only just realised that it’s Friday! I have done some epic weeding and miss clearing on the path between mine and my neighbour’s house - looks amazing if I do say so myself! 😉 I find that I keep going to check on it’ 😂 Haven’t got any plans for the next week at the moment - my old school doesn’t finish until the 29th so please send some sympathy their way - next week will be a struggle!

Morning! Glad you're you so enjoying your granddogs and grandchildren! I think the hot weather is beginning to get to me - I'm getting up way later than usual and it's throwing me. I did have sorting out the spare room on my TDL for today but am seriously tempted to just sit in the garden and knit/crochet/read this morning while it's still shady and then do the same in my front room this afternoon! This weekend it's the well dressing in my mum and dad's village and my brother is down here for a canoe polo tournament so I will probably go and do those too. Have a good weekend everyone!

I don't think I've ever been good in the heat!! I was at Sudbury Hall today - they have an exhibition of the costumes used in the 1995 Pride and Prejudice which were beautiful. Came home to a new book (The Story Collector by Evie Woods) and a slice of the blackcurrant cheesecake I made yesterday (delicious!) Quiet weekend here too.

Only incidentally - I like it but rarely sit down to watch on purpose. And… How we’re they? I’m having homemade cream tea!

Hope the granddog was ok Sunnyday. How lovely to hear those stories of meeting former pupils all grown up! I was out for dinner with friends last night which was lovely and had a friend round to my place for a meal and catch up the other day. The garden is going well - I've picked my first strawberry and a couple of handfuls of sweetpeas and my 'herb garden' shelf is settling in nicely. Right now my garden is at its hottest so I've retreated inside to the cool for a little sock knitting! Have a lovely weekend all.

Oh Louby colds are miserable at the best of times but especially in this kind of weather - I hope it clears up soon. I have had a gentle week. Some reading and sock knitting (I won't wear them for a bit but they are good small projects for hot weather). I made a rhubarb and custard cake, got my hair cut and spent the first part of the day reading in the garden whilst it was still cool out there.
