Rise and shine everyone, how are you all today?

Compared with the lovely weather that we've been spoilt with over the last few days It's looking like a grey/ dull old day here today.

Not sure what today will bring...to be honest ,as with most I suspect, every day is pretty much the same at the moment. Always start it with ( normally) an hour long video call natter with my eldest sister. She makes a coffee and so do I ( well hubs does ) and ..well the hour flies by!

Then a tidy round and depending what day it is a specific room/s are cleaned thoroughly....I pace myself now as I don't do the whole house in one session.

I am now doing regular 5 mins sessions of( will gradually increase) specific exercises for my leg/ knee throughout the day. 2 types this week + short 5mins gentle peddling on the static bike too.

Then on good days it's out in the garden....if not good then the jigsaw is still not completed...boring bit is now left of grey murky waters...talk about 50 shades of grey, this puzzle has a 100 at least!

I have adult colouring books and have a box each of 'posh' pens and pencils only used for this purpose.

I also do daily word puzzles , mahjong challenges and suduko too.

And of course summer border planning and seed sowing are a big part of my day now too.

Inbetween all this and both greatly enjoyed ( well I say that now but we have a mk2 to attempt) and appreciated are Shiney's quizzes.......certainly keeps the brain turning over!!. As I said I now have the new one to ponder over at some point today.
So that is how my days are recently playing out. Not as fulfilling as getting out and meeting up with friends/ family, going on NT days out or cinema visits..which I do love, but nevertheless enjoyable and a productive way to pass the time .

One good thing about lockdown was online grocery shopping ....hubs finally succumbed to having it,... but.... now the 3 wks have passed since his jab he says he'll go back into town to do it this week. I really detest food shopping but at least for now I have the excuse of not yet having received the jab...to get me off going! Honestly I haven't bribed the NHS to forget me.......

Well, whatever you're up to today...enjoy it.

 

Good morning all, @Flumpy Anniversaries are hard.
Have a good day all, don't overdo things and above all stay safe and well. God Bless.

 

Morning all!!

Where oh where does the week go!!!!

Looking like a lovely day is promised ,albeit a tad on the nippy side. Nevertheless we've got sunshine...that the important bit!!

Enjoy your day and keep safe.

 

Good morning all. I get to pick up my new lenses in my last year's frames this morning. £294 just for the lenses. Diabolical. I think I should go to one of the high street opticians instead of staying with this family business that I have been with for over twenty years.

Hope you are all ok and coping in the situation. Hopefully things will gradually get back to some semblance of order. Have a good day, take it steady and above all stay safe and well.
God bless.

 

Morning everyone hope you're all
looking forward to a relaxing weekend.

Lovely morning here again but very cold.

Have to pop into town first thing to replenish my stock of birthday/ anniversary/ get well and blank cards. Have a lot coming up over the next month or two.

Might drop into my brother too at some point today or maybe tomorrow.....we'll see how the day pans out.

Have a super day everyone.

 

Good morning Upsydaisy, thanks for the big hug the other day, just what I needed
It’s grey but dry here, I’m going to check on my sweet peas today, I’m hoping they’ve popped there heads up, also dropping my patio curtains off at my mums house as she said she would shorten them for us.

It’s been a far too busy week at work so I’m hoping to relax at some point this weekend as we have staff off ( holidays) all of March.

Have a lovely day all

 

Most welcome @Flumpy .
Have a great weekend, sorry no time for a shared breakfast cuppa today...maybe tomorrow ?
Enjoy your day.

 

I’ll have our breakfast ready for tomorrow

 

Good morning everyone, have a good day, take care and stay safe and well. God bless.

 

Good day
As usual, @moyra you always put up a nice greeting for the day . @Flumpy I am having spotty successes with my sweat pea sowings. Some are up, way up and others haven't cracked @shiney I hope Mrs. S. gets your back in good working order.

It is grey here today but I'm not complaining as we had several days of sunshine. Still pretty cold but not to worry as I have lots of chores inside to keep me busy.

Cheers all
