Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2020

Wow everyone is sooo busy.
I wonder how Upsydaisy is going on? Has anyone heard from her?

Shiney them Chocolate buns look yummy and your meal sounds delicious too I’m sure you will all enjoy it.
I pottered in my garden yesterday just to get some fresh air as I’m not feeling 100%, so I took a lovely picture of my Gazania........

 

Good day
@shiney those muffins look lovely. I too bake gluten free for one grandson. He is autistic and removing gluten from his diet has done wonders to keep him from getting hyper. I used to think it was all phoney baloney until I saw the difference in him.

@Flumpy I like those flowers! And when you come online, Good morning @moyra

I've got dough for baguettes and also some for chillie buns. Baguettes are for making bruschetta later as I am getting overwhelmed with tomatoes including the roma variety. And chillie buns for a friend who likes spicey bread.

It's going to be a sunny day so I plan to putter outside today too.

Cheers all and please play safe

 

Ho Lori I can smell your baking bread from here, it must be lovely in your house, always something cooking and always being creative, when I retire that’s what I want to get back into, work takes up too much of our lives I’m afraid but I suppose it pays our bills, if I EVER win the lottery.......... keep on dreaming

 

Hello @shiney , @moyra , @Flumpy and @CanadianLori and all else who may drop by .

Hope you're all well and have been out enjoying this fab weather.

I haven't been in a good headspace for the last couple of months and have also be on the receiving end of an on going issue that we have unfortunately felt the need to inform the police about.....not that at this present time they can do much about apart from seeing how things progress.....really hoped that they didn't!.

Significant disclosure this morning and sadly we now think we know who is behind it all and we agree with what the Police originally thought and they are having serious mental issues ( definitely not dangerous) . Hubs and I are now debating as to whether we should go and see them for a chat as we are aware of their recent change in circumstances and they must be feeling so very isolated during these awful times. We really haven't had much contact with the person for the last 25yrs so think this must be a desperate cry for help.

Oh what a dilemma.

Covid has much to answer to. No one knows what is going on in people minds and behind closed doors.

 

Hi Upsydaisy lovely to see you we’ve missed you!
So sorry to hear you have to go through this trauma as well as everyone else, yes Covid has got a lot to answer for, I’m hoping next year is better, I’m in two minds on your subject as to go with your gut instinct or leave it to the expert’s, I’m guessing they are on medication for there mental health and that is why they are acting this way, hope things get sorted out very soon, big hugs Upsydaisy

 

Good day
@Upsydaisy it is sad that so many suffer with mental illness but it is even sadder when it manifests in hurting others. Perhaps a friendly chat might help. I can't see how it would hurt as long as you keep your "distance" and use a friendly tone. It will either work. Or it won't. But it wouldn't cost anything to try.

@shiney yes, I use almond flour, sometimes coconut flour (cookies), rice flour and all sorts of combos. I have a good recipe for white "sandwich" style bread and I fill 8 (2 month's worth) containers with the various ingredients so they are ready to simply dump with the liquids into the bread maker. I can't imagine making each batch individually with so many ingredients!

@Flumpy I hope your cold is improving. And, @moyra, hope all is well with you.

It is another sunny day. The high will be 17f according to the guessers. I've got lots of things to keep me busy indoors and out so it will be a lovely, active day.

Cheers all and please play safe

 

Night god bless everyone

 

Good day
There are a few clouds in the sky this morning but the temperatures have and will be lovely and moderate for another 5 or 6 days with the daytime high coming in around 76f - perfect

I've been busy too. Been to the courthouse only to find out that they want to transfer the file to another one and we have to go to the other one next week. And the line up to get to the counter is about two and a half hours each time. Standing on marble or cement floors that long is absolutely unacceptable! And hard on the feet and back too.

Sam and I are going to putter around the yard today. I bought some bricks to build better, more level footings for the cold frame and will be starting that digging. I also bought some pipe to make a new place to insert my umbrella clothes dryer and have cut it with a 45 at one end so I can drive it into the ground. Got my piece of wood to place on the top of the pipe so when I start whacking it with the sledge hammer, I don't mushroom the end. Good workout going to happen.

Got lots of other things to get done but the umbrella is the important one today. And the usual cooking and baking will be going on too.

Cheers all and please play safe

 

Hi Shiney & Lori and anyone else who is around, sounds like you are all very busy, have a good day, I’ll check in on you after work

 

Good evening
It's been a long busy day from the moment my feet hit the slippers. Nothing bad happened, just frenzy!
See you all the sunny side!

 

Morning all, had a pretty traumatic evening on Thursday, had to ring the police, we where very shuck up, me and my hubby disturbed three men in balaclavas trying to steel our neighbors car exhaust! One chased me with a metal bar I managed to get in my house and rang the police, but I was worried they had beat my husband up, thankfully they went speeding off down the road, I was so relieved to see my hubby alive, but feel very nervous now what is this countey coming too, I can’t wait to move, hopefully in 4 weeks we should of moved. Hope your all ok
