Yawn Yawn Wakey Wakey 2024

Morning all.

Your day certainly sounded truly awful Upsy. I far prefer our hot spells than your wet ones as we are geared for heat. We had a drizzly day yesterday and may have another today ... but the sun is never far from us. I ventured out for 10 minutes to check on things and pot up the Yellow Hibiscus but the wind was sharp so I got back in quickly ... with Munchkin on my heels.

Upsy, it is the True Love about a group of old friends who make a pact about dying.

Have a peaceful one all.

 

Hi all, sorry I’ve not been around, feel like I’ve not a minute to myself, and when I am home I’m tired.

Upsydaisy the weather is has been awful for weeks & weeks here, it’s driving my dad crazy, not being able to even get out for a walk or a small stroll around the garden….I went to fill my bird feeder up yesterday and the grass was just so soggy, this am it’s frosty and blue ish sky, hope you and family are well

Victoria, have you been able to get any potting done this weekend? Has that wind calmed down?

Redstar you sound very busy with your business, does it take up a lot of your time ?

Lori, have you made any garments lately, I know you had a pattern and was deciding?

one of our staff is going Newyork at 2pm today for a week, it’s not my thing really, I don’t like crowded cities but it’s what ever floats your boat I suppose.

my manager as just got back from centre parks in the lakes, I know it rained most of the week.

Catch you all later….off food shopping now

 

No this one Vicky...../wiki/True_Love_(


Yes it certainly was..I missed out another section of that dreadful day as I was depressing myself .......when we arrived at my brother 's town, and I blame the condensation on the bus windows , we discovered we got off the bus too early and had to walk another mile to his place...in the bloomin torrential rain. Had to pass a huge cargo transporter that had parked up on the pavement and completely blocking the way so we had to scramble up a slippery, muddy and steep grass bank...while the driver snuggly watched from inside the driver's cabin......needless to say I conveyed my thoughts to him!!! And not in a very ladylike way may I add.

Enjoy your day xx

 

Good morning @Flumpy good to see you.

Yes it's been the same down here for weeks too.
Your forecast looks good for today and tomorrow...well by my standards anyway.

We have more heavy rain today and strong winds ALL day tomorrow...playing havoc with the Daffodils . And mustn't forget...well it's impossible to really , the two streams flowing passed us outside down our lane.

But...on the plus side, and it's a huge plus for me , on the whole it's been relatively mild, apart from the last few days. Unless of course, unlike Lori , I've finally toughened up!!

Enjoy your day

 

Oops that link didn't t work Vicky...just as well as it was the wrong one. There are quite a few with the same title.

Sadly the lovely and highly talented Julie Walters had to pull out from starring in it.

I dislike cities too. I grew up in Queens New York. I prefer small towns at the best of times. That's why we live in the country.

Potted one small Hibiscus plug plant. Wind is coming back this afternoon. I'm staying snugly indoors.

 

Upsy, this is what we watched ...

Yep same one Vicky.
I got confused with this one.

 

Vicky this is an unusually prolonged spell of rain..... I suppose in normal circumstances we can still venture out and about. To be honest I feel more comfortable with an umbrella that walking about in high temps and covering up with light clothing and loads of sun block. Very wet weather leads to the same outcome as high temps.....staying indoors.

 

Sunday Morning about 8:30AM
Good dry out day yesterday, and nice and sunny today--- so today it is raking out more leaves from beds day. As much as this old body can take. Stretching along the way, pain pills ahead of time. You know the saying, Move it ,or lose it. LOL.

I get it, recall going to NY about 10 years ago to meet up with friends from a far, cannot believe the amount of people walking about, the closeness of buildings, so glad I live in the country also. And have run across certain towns that there seemed to be no control over visual buildings of things, just haphazard placement. Nuts. Also certain horrid things humans have done to certain natural nature wonderments, such as the different rivers that connect in Pittsburg, PA. very sad, all loaded with railroads, docks and storage units.

It all takes up enough time. Between the Show Car stuff, and the Airbnb stuff--it keeps my mind moving in that direction, math ect. trip planning, making sure the house runs well, (airbnb) I am retired. So do have those 50 hours open now. I am used to bouncing back and forth to different mental stimuli, as I did when I worked. Sometime it amazes me that my property manager does not notice things I do about the house ect. Like simply, leaving the light on outside for a late guest arrival, I have to tell the cleaners to click it on, or my good neighbor will walk over for me to do that.

Anyway, off to outside tasks, lets burn those calories. Take care all.

 

Good day
Again, I've had a busy morning and am just now getting time to visit here. I'm using the weekend to get lots done so as to free up my days this coming week.

I hope it stops raining on you @Upsydaisy and @Flumpy. It sounds like the dreadful time we went through in November. It seemed it was cloudy and wet non stop.

No, I haven't gotten to actually sewing any garments lately. A friend/client roped me into agreeing to do some linen window treatments for her place which will take a lot more time than most jobs like that because linen wrinkles when you look at it!

Cheers all

 

Very windy day today but rain isn't forecast.... is the forecast to be believed, that's the big question!

Laundry is done..a guarantee to put a jinx on things.
Fingers crossed our undies don't take flight over the nearby allotments.

Might get some garden time in today after the house chores are completed.

Have a grand day.

 

Morning all, just getting ready for work….4c here and sun is out for today, they’ve forecast rain for the rest of the week

have a lovely peaceful day xx

 

Morning Karen......peaceful day,..with this wind, I don't think so.

We're suppose to see some sun too ..at some point I hope.

Have a good day yourself.
