Latest moan from you and me - 2016

Good idea, wiseowl, don't give it a chance to fly! Have a lovely day yourself!

 

Must be one of those days all round!
Put a "Spicy Fruit" loaf in the bread machine at silly o'clock this morning knowing it would be smelling all delicious and lovely and tempting by the time I was back from our morning walk. And it was! Except ... the sultanas I had put in the automatic dispenser ... were *still* in the dispenser So, Spicy Fruit Loaf sans Sultanas
If that wasn't disappointing enough, I went into the office to begin a new project but had some beads out. Put them in my cupped hand to put them back into the little bag but managed to miss the bag and *PING! PING! PING!* they went, all over the floor in every direction
Still, on the up side, the sun is shining and I'll be having my coffee outside in the arbour shortly and all will be well with the world once again.

 

I can't blinking believe it! Has anyone looked at the darn weather forecast for the weekend? cold, rain & wind , surely not?

 

Yup, noticed that: typical Easter Weekend weather.

 

Good morning woo, I'm going to blame the weather - we're all blinded and dazzled by the sunshine it is affecting our short term memories

 

Well, after spending a few days with dad, came back to a lovely sunny afternoon so we spent some time outside with me planting out sweet peas watering seeds and repotting. Was all lovely. Had washing machine going, washing on line and my new friend, a Robbin, keeping me company. Other half goes ins inside to find a pool of water. Boiler has sprung a leak and we are now(3 hours later) waiting for council to turn up to turn off supply. I've already turned it all off to stop flow but they will just come out 'to make it safe' until repair can be carried out. Will leave us with no hot water or heating and we have guests for weekend.

It's already getting cold in here and I can see a long wait ahead before replacement part installed. I opened it up and found the fault but daren't even mention it to them as not allowed to interfere. Will update after their visit.

 

Builders! Specifically the ones building the houses behind my garden. Why do they only speak (loudly!) in four letter words (and variations thereof)!!??
So, no more gardening for me today

 

Shoot loudly back in the same four letter words

 

For once, I wish you had meant to spell it that way .... sooooooo tempting!

If I shouted back with the same four letter words .... Mr "M" would have a FIT!!

 

They came out last night and capped the boiler off. New pump being fitted tomorrow. (Hopefully)! I spent all day outside cleaning pots, potting on and filling trays. I'm sure it's warmer outside in the garden than in here. Got family staying for the weekend from tomorrow. What a great start.

 

@Rustler hopefully that new pump *will* be fitted tomorrow! Would be pretty mean to leave you without over a long Bank Holiday Weekend.
And if it is tomorrow, then it really will be a great start to your family weekend get together.

 

Reminds me of a time when I was told to do 500 lines at school. I completed one A4 side and photocopied the rest. I got away with that one - Dennis the Menace couldn't have done better.
