Yawn, Yawn, Wakey Wakey!! 2016

Morning all,

Its raining here, raining in Canada in January!!! Supposed to be nice though the rest of the week.

We had a busy weekend, we had Daniel and while he's so good, you forget what its like to have a toddler in the house, when he left mid afternoon on Sunday Brad and I made it to 9pm before we fell asleep!!

I was down in Toronto yesterday and have some errands to do for Brad today, since I'm back down there tomorrow.

Off to Home Depot......so enjoy your day everyone.

 

Congratulations Becky seems like you have been here forever! I know I have but not so prolific a poster as a lot of others.
Have a good evening all, God bless.

 

Morning early people

Welcome back @shiney

Thought you'd always been here @Beckie76

Got some leaded windows to mess up restore today.

Have a good day everyone and don't leave the Zebrite next to the toothpaste

 

Good Morning all,
You're a dark horse Shiney no hint of being busy doing other things while you were off the pc. Still don't blame you. Hope you had a thoroughly enjoyable time.
WOO hope you and yours are all feeling a bit better now, Spring is around the corner.
Have a good day everyone, stay warm and dry and out of the wind and above all stay safe and well. God bless.

 

Morning all

Very dark, cold and extremely WINDY...

OH has got another bad tummy, flipping IBS is a , mind you, it was
his own fault, he so wanted the last slice of Christmas cake, I warned him
against it, but would he listen, of course not. So we have a lot of another
wind in our house today

Great craft meeting yesterday,it's amazing what conversation goes around the
table Hope it's as good at the coffee meeting today.

Hope you have a great day, and don't let the wind blow the froth off your Cappuccino

 

Good Morning,

It's lovely to have you back @shiney. I'm very pleased to hear you & Hannah have had a lovely time on your travels

I've managed to get my hands on some 4 year old box hedging, a gardening friend cleared some from a garden he's been working in, it looks in reasonable condition, I'm going to fetch it then plant it up & see what happens! Nothing ventured nothing gained! It should be ok I think

Very windy here & mild 11C, my neighbour has just told me this is compensation prior to the snow coming from New York I hope not I'd rather have the rain we've been promised!

Kev has a new self employed chap doing some work for him which is working out really well, I'm hoping that will take some pressure off me & perhaps give me a bit of extra time in the garden

Best I get a move on, have a lovely day folks

 

Morning early people

Just getting light here.

Off to carry on with the windows i'm working on



Have a good day everyone

 

Good Morning everyone, cold again this morning, the temps here are up and down no wonder some of us have rotten colds. WOO hope you are beginning to feel a bit better, take care. Shiney you have been dropped right back into now your home, good luck with getting straight.
Have a good day all, take care, stay dry and warm and above all safe and well. God bless.

 

Good Morning,

Yesterday I went to the garden centre, I needed to buy some seeds for the seed swap & my seed potatoes & that my friends is the highlight of my year so far!

Plenty of wild birds in the garden again this morning, I need to top up the feeders before I go.

1.5C here, it's dry & the wind has dropped which can only be a good thing.

Best I get a move on, I've got a busy day today.

Have a lovely day

 

Goooooooooood morning, WW'ers!!!!

And what a beautiful Spring like day it is here ( *all* the windows are OPEN ) and if that was not enough to bring a ream of beams to my face, guess what?
































I've just heard a cuckoo for the very first time in my whole life!!! That means .... Spring is here ... well, more accurately, the cuckoo thinks it has. Took me a moment for the penny to drop that it really was a cuckoo I'd heard

Anyway:
@shiney and Mrs Shy Knee HOME!!!! Delighted to read your synopsis above but even happier your travels were safe and sound. That is one fantastic photo/selfie!
@wiseowl - fabulous shot! And really is how it is here too today
@moyra - that cold still giving you jip? Time to bring in the big guns then! I recommend a whiskey hot toddy Hope it is on its way out for you now.
@liliana - all these chatty groups you attend .... I bet you've put the world to rights 9 times over by now!
@Beckie76 - fab news on Kev's new worker; especially as it means you may get more gardening time. Good luck with your box plants and hope you get your bird boxes up too (that cuckoo doesn't sing for no reason )

Well, had a really bracing walk with Ozzy this morning at one of our local attractions which has a woodland walk within it. The café there cooks roast dinners from New Year until March and I popped in to reserve a couple of spaces for Mr "M" and I on Sunday as a treat. Something lovely to look forward to.

#1 son is having issues at the student house and is on the telephone two or three times a day. He's lived with a couple of them since first year (halls) and last year they all moved into this house. They are not all on the same courses and not all of them work as well (he does). Two of them now have "couple" status. I've met them all and they all seem like lovely people. But, you all know how it is trying to live together as a couple/family let alone in student digs and spits and spats have developed over the proverbial toilet roll (which would be funny if it wasn't turning more serious). Seems the "house" have concluded it must be #1 son who is using all the toilet roll and not replacing it (he's hardly ever there between working nights at a nightclub, days at lectures and seminars and in between times in the library). He's final year so he's only got to get through until final exams yet the situation has developed into silent treatment, giggling when he leaves the room and having house "meetings" and "outings" to which he is neither invited or included. Very typical of playground tactics really, but I can sense it is getting him down. Very much a learning curve for him that wasn't in the lecture notes

Healing vibes to one and all and miles of smiles all round xxMxx
