    Aloha everyone,

    No gardening for me (under orders :rolleyespink:) but I may wander round the garden. I still haven't been past the willow tree since we got back from our holiday over two weeks ago! :doh: It doesn't look as though it will be bright enough to take any photos and they forecast rain today.

    I need to get going on sorting out the entertainment for Open Day. The Flamenco dancers can't make it this year and neither can Zara the singer (daughter of one of the dancers). So my sister has volunteered to sing (she's normally running the raffle) as she and her hubby used to be semi-professional folk singers. We've also had another Ukulele band offer their services so I need to speak to the ones that performed (fantastically) on the Sunday last year. I've got to give them the choice of days.

    Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

    Aloha!

      Good morning everyone,
      Beckie commiseration on loosing poor Marion but you gave her a wonderful free roaming life.

      Shiney, hope after H's treatment your back is much better today. However, you will have to take things easier.

      'M' hope Ozzy is much better now and it was only a 24hour thing.

      Have a good day everyone, have a golden Labrador waiting patiently to be taken for her early morning walk.
      Take care, keep dry and warm and above all safe and well. God bless. :wub2:

        Good morning fellow WW'ers :spinning:

        I was up and out early with Ozzy today and my mission was successful: I beat the rain! :yes:

        Thank you, @moyra , he managed to eat when we got back from his walk this morning :phew: He wouldn't touch a bite yesterday so he was almost 48hrs without any food. But at least it meant I didn't need to use any bags this morning :whistle: :heehee:

        @Beckie76 - with Kev being under stress at work, maybe you could take him a Valentine breakfast in bed tomorrow so he can get a lay in.

        @wiseowl - good to see you posting, how's your flu? Are you over the worst?

        @shiney - hope you aren't aching too much today.

        I need to get more organised and update my pocket diary; saw a few posters when I was out and about today of different events happening in the village in the next few weeks and I wouldn't want to miss out.

        Healing vibes for all who want them and miles of smiles for everyone xxMxx

          Sorry to read about Marion, Ozzy, Flu and bad backs. Roll on Spring I think we could all do with some sun and warmer weather to cheer ourselves up.

                  Aloha everyone,

                  Today has changed from an expected very quiet one to a busy one - it all changed yesterday afternoon.

                  Mid morning we have some friends from New Zealand coming, with their three little ones, and staying for lunch. I haven't, yet, told them that we have people coming at 6 p.m. for dinner :doh:

                  So I started prepping food at 4 a.m. this morning :phew: I've made two soups, lentil and chicken (Sarafi must have smelled the chicken cooking and was at the back door at 5.30 a.m. demanding, very vocally, his share :heehee:), and got loads of different veggies prepped for a big stir fry that will go with roast chicken and crispy roast potatoes tonight. Apple and mixed fruit compote made, plus chocolate pots. Fresh fruit salad will be done later - mango, melon, blueberries, pineapple and cherries. I'll pop to the village shop for French bread for lunch - they make their own :blue thumb:.

                  My back is improving but aches a lot if I sit down too much. No chance of that today! :snork:

                  Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                  Aloha!

                    Morning early people :)

                    Sorry about your chicken @Beckie76 :sad:

                    Still floodwater sitting on the fields here, but going down despite the rain yesterday.

                    Went right round the edge of the pill box with aqua seal last night :fingers crossed:

                    Happy Valentines Day everyone :)

                      Good morning all,

                      My word you have a busy day today Shiney, not going to give that back of yours time to sieze up by the sound of it. Do take it steady.

                      WOO, hope you are on the mend. 'M' glad Ozzy is back to eating again. good sign.
                      Have a good day all, stay warm and dry and above all safe and well, God bless. :wub2:Happy Valentine's Day!

                        Good morning one and all :)

                        Seems I'm on a roll for dodging the rain when I take Ozzy out at the moment :yes: :heehee: Doesn't help with the mud though :th scifD36:

                        @shiney - gosh, you should open a restaurant :heehee: Enjoy your lovely visitors, as I'm sure you will :thumbsup:

                        @moyra - thank you, yes, it is a good sign that his appetite is on the up once again :doggieshmooze:

                        @Beckie76 - definitely have the chat about work-life balance; burnout is no fun ;)

                        :wub2:Happy Valentine's Day everyone :wub2: and if you are looking for love today, don't forget to look inside of yourself ;) Ladies, it is a leap year, so traditionally, you can ask the man in your life to marry you (if you aren't already :heehee: ).

                        Healing vibes going out to those who would like them and miles of smiles to all xxMxx
