Yawn... Wakey Wakey...!!! #3

Good morning everyone and a 'Happy Easter' to you all:flwsml:

We have rain here again today and it feels quiet cold so don't think we shall be going far today and with all the shops being shut looks like it will be a DIY day,although we might have to have a rethink on that one as Mr Kandy has a bad back since yesterday afternoon so unless he feels better it will be a chill out day me thinks.:p

Got Turkey for dinner today so looking forward to cooking and eating that:D

Hope you all have a great day and enjoy the day with families and friends

 

good morning, kandy, shiney, woo, jazmine, natalie and everyone,
kandy yummy turkey dinner sounds lovely my favourite good luck hope you get them anenomes at B&Q.
been raining here in the night looks dry out there now,
off out tonight with my girl friends just going locally.
have a nice easter sunday all have a great day

 

Morning Rosa,Shiney and Woo,

Rosa,I went back to B&Q and got the last of the Anemones,another seven packs.There are only eight corms in each pack but for 49p each well worth the money,plus the four packs I got the day before so will add them to the others I have already in the garden.They are soaking in water at the moment and hoping to put them in the ground today if it dries out a bit.

Shiney,sounds like you and Mrs Shiney have been busy yesterday in the greenhouse and garden.Our paths outside are a bit slippery but hate the noise of the pressure washer plus it would make the dial of the water meter whizz round so we just let the rain wash the slabs:DThe gardeners round here used to charge people £10 an hour but that was a few years ago so don't know what the prices are now as we do all our own.:p Our weather is up to 42f so have a heat wave compared to you Shiney:hehe:

We have just been out for our Sunday morning walk and it took us ages as Mr Kandy can only walk slowly now his back is playing up,but I don't know how he is going to cope in trying to watch the Grand Prix this morning

Woo,hope you don't get too cold when you go out flying this morning and hope you have a good Easter Sunday with your family

Have a good day everyone again

 

Good afternoon everybody and Happy Easter! Spent the morning doing the Easter Egg hunt with the boys, eldest is off to Thorpe Park with a big group of friends from high school days - there's about five of them that turn 21 this week, so they're off to act like kids (is words!)

Just about ready to start getting the vege ready for dinner - have two lovely legs of venison that have been marinading and now cooking in port - have snuck some sneaky tastes and it is delicious - but as it's the leg, has to cook slowly and long to get the 'fall off the bone tenderness'. Serving it with roasted potatoes, parsnips and beets and some lightly steamed kale. Will have some cranberry sauce as well with it. Blueberry cheesecake for dessert

I managed to get out and transplant some plants that last year were just put in the wrong place (hate that when you move in somewhere new and you just don't know the best spots for various plants) - so hopefully some better shows this year If I get a chance today I will pot up my hanging baskets and get them hung in one of the greenhouses - otherwise that'll be a job or tomorrow.

Hope everybody's having a great day with family - have a great one!

 

Hello friends :luv: and hope you all had a lovely Easter. It sounds as if you have with friends and family.
Rosa I hope you had fun with your friends! Kandy hope you enjoyed your day and Woo too
Natalie how come you stay thin with all the food you eat??? :hehe:
Shiney, me and "best behaviour" do not go together, blame my dad he is the silly one!!! Life is too short to be well behaved. :D

We had a great day here, my son, his GF and little boy and Roxy dog came to visit with Easter Eggs and a plant in hand. We went over the field and all had a run around and little man said "let's do keep fit exercises" at which point I panicked!! Good fun with my family whom I love dearly.

 

Good morning Woo and everyone,

Hope you had a good Easter as well Woo and all the best for Easter Monday

Well it's the last day of Mr Kandy's holiday so it's back to the grind stone so to speak and I expect the sun will shine all this week now he will be back to work:hehe:

He is still bent double with his aching back and is starting to look like an man but we managed to get out yesterday for a three mile walk and saw some lovely Red Kites which was very nice as well:DDid another walk after tea round the village plus the one we did in the morning so reckon we walked a good five miles in total yesterday:yho:

Hope you all have a good day,and at least some of the shops should be open today:p

 

Good morning everyone.


Its raining but warm here, supposed to all day, so its a good day for driving, i am leaving around 9 to take Kait back down to school.

 

Hiya everyone:flwsml: hope you all had a lovely Easter.:gnthb: We went to the caravan in Conwy N.Wales for a few days

last week but unfortunatly it rained constantly:( Not that it would have made much difference because we both picked up a virus that gave you a banging head,

where you just wanted to sleep all the time.:dh: Glad its gone now.:thmb:

Just hope the weather is better for when we go back on the 17th April

Just booked 2 weeks off at the begining of May so looking for somewhere to go now

hopefully with plenty of sunshine:yho:

Take care everyone:gnthb: 02

 

Kandy I hope OH is feeling better with his back before heading off to work again! No fun returning from holidays having spent them in discomfort and then having to work in discomfort as well! Glad you've both been able to get out and about though.

TakeMore - Glad your bug is gone and hope despite it, you got to have some rest and relaxation while away.

Jazmine - well behaved? lol - I think we'd need to ask your son about that - I'm sure he could tell some tales.......

Shiney - you went to bed after 3 and woke up just after 6? That's not a normal night for you is it? I don't think I could manage on 3 hours sleep a night! Sounds like you had a lovely day though visiting the gardens

Woo - hope you had a lovely Easter weekend with your family - did you get the hail out your way ysterday? We had it just for about a ten minute session, and then drizzle again on and off. By the time I look outside and realise the sun is shining and get out there, it starts to rain again :(

Penny - I've heard this weekend that Nova Scotia has had some fantastic weather for this time of year - several people have mentioned how happy they are to have had a week of great weather - you'll get yours too Hope you've had a safe and uneventful drive taking daughter back to college - I still remember my FIL doing a couple of 360's on the road as snow was being swept across it from the fields in late March one year taking me from Owen Sound back down to Toronto - was scary, but we were the only car on the road at the time thank goodness.

Jazmine - ALL food, (not only chocolate as I reported earlier) was calorie free this entire weekend - didn't you know? lol

Tonight we had a baked filet of salmon with a rice dish, macaroni salad and caesar salad, wonderful crusty bread with fresh homemade (it was still warm when I frosted it) carrot cake with a cream cheese frosting for my son's birthday - it was delicious. As I'm off for a couple of weeks from work between school terms, I usually put on a pound or two, but that comes off once I get back into the routine of kids/work/kids lol. I swear once they are grown and out of the house I will have all this weight coming to get me........and then there's those Galaxy bubbles! Oh my - had one today at Bluewater - they were giving out whole bars as freebies, and it would've been rude to say no right? I shall have to resist temptation though when I see them in the stores :(

Well, its' past 11......so rather than yawn yawn wakey wakey, it's yawn yawn nighty night for me.....Have a great day tomorrow everybody!
