Internet is back

 

Hello everyone!

Hope Bert soon loses his grip. Good news about your internet, @Busy-Lizzie ; hopefully your friend will soon have her electricity restored.

We had a fairly wet and wild night (which blew away a lot of leaves fallen onto the lawn), but it's now dry and sunny, though still windy. My normal church service was cancelled due to illness, so I went instead to the Baptist church in Limerick, tying in nicely with OH's service in Limerick Cathedral, where he sings in the choir. Now we're having a lazy afternoon, because we're stuffed! Had a late lunch in a cafe we like, on the way home.

I hadn't thought of suet nibbles, @Ergates . Thanks for the suggestion! I might give them a try first, before looking for wriggly things...

 

Back home after a DIY shop run and checking in on MIL. So many areas of flooding about - I didn’t expect it on main roads!

Sunday evening mode will be activated shortly: chicken dinner prep, uniform drying/ironing etc.

Enjoy the rest of the day folks - lazy or productive as you wish.

 

Hello everyone. Interesting coffee morning after Church this morning. My friend nearly freaked out because there were two extremely large spiders in the sink. I rescued them (and her) by releasing the spiders into the garden. It was extremely cold in the Hall so the hot drinks went down a treat. I was surprised at all the havoc 'Bert' has been wreaking round and about. These were my neighbours bins:

Pleased you are reconnected @Busy-Lizzie. Tell you what though that wind must have been horrendous if it blew down your friend's wall. Love your new words @AuntyRach. Along that vein how about when you go for the last drink out of your mug only to discover its stone cold: Pre-empt-tea?

 

I’m used to that cold last swig of tea @Ladybird4 - occupational hazard! The face it makes you pull is a universal signal!

 

Thought of 2 more for you @AuntyRach
Grounds zero
Has beans

 

Love it!

 

Still raining heavily here and has been all day. At one point our lane was flooding badly as all the rainwater pours off the hills all around us and the natural springs open up. I was on the point of contacting the Council when the fast running floods appeared to slow down. I guess workmen? or somebody further down the lane had cleared a blockage somewhere and the flood waters got diverted into the brook. Far too wet to go and see! Thank goodness, we're on the side of a hill and the drive slopes down to the road.

Our DIL was running a 10k race this morning in a very windy but dry South coast town, good for her.

I also pull a face when my tea gets cold!

 

@Penny_Forthem - brilliant!
Its disgusting here too @lizzie27 and respect to your daughter for her racing.

 

Signing out for today. Enjoy your indoor Sunday evenings. Catch up with you all tomorrow.
