Good morning everyone

CAROL - ok sweetie just dm me when you've chosen or you can buy direct from my shop. I use different filter fabric now which has just become available, little bit thinner but does the same filtration 95%. I suppose they're improving everything as we get more aware of this virus and manufacturers are keeping up with the information.

Sorry to hear you had a nasty fall, it knocks your confidence doesnt it. Hope you're soon back to normal again. 

Well we had a lovely day yesterday and I was out the front sorting out some plants, and I managed to dig a hole and plant my Stags Horn Tree. Now wondering if it's too close to next doors ence or not, but didnt really want it stuck out into the lawn any further. Today it's pouring with rain and they say the wind will get stronger as the day goes on. We have 5 storms heading our way over the next few days. 

Got a home made chilli con carne in the slow cooker, will have half tonight and the rest tomorrow or will freeze it. Although my 2 little chest freezers are full to the brim almost. As people are panic having them full isn't a bad thing. 

Keep warm and safe everyone. 

Good morning ladies. Wish the holiday makers had gone from here, there's still dozens of them swarming all over the place. pffft.

CAROL can you put the recipe for your scousers meal on here, it sounds interesting and a way of getting rid of the tins in the emergency cupboard.

Got the heating engineer coming this afternoon thank God, it's been hell with the heating on full belt the last week. LIke living in a sauna. I did have the windows open but being autumn the big spiders were trying to come in. I'd put new mozzie screens up at the windows but the tape that comes with them keeps coming off the window, so had to order better heavy duty adhesive hook tape today from Amazon. 

I was up at 2am last night, when I went to bed I opened my bathroom floor cupboard to put something away and there was a humongous spider in there, goodness knows how it got in there as the door is tight fitting and the bathroom window is never opened. I went to bed thinking I'd deal with it in the mornng but couldnt get to sleep wondering if it got in there it would get out and could be anywhere by the morning, so I got the vacuum cleaner out with the solid extension rod and sucked it up there then stood the vacuum dust cannister outside until this morning. Dora hates the vacuum so she was barking her head off at 2am. Good job I have no near neighbours. Anyway this morning before doing the hoovering I emptied the spider into one of my hotbins. it'll cook nicely in there bol Honestly it was one of the biggest I've seen. 

Got 2 masks ordered so will make those this morning and wash my hair too as this heat makes me so hot my hair gets wet with sweat. 

Enjoy your day folks! Stay safe
 

Good Morning all, a beautiful sunny day here. I've put the washing on and Gordon hung it out to dry. I did as much as I could of the dishes and am now resting.  Once I've drunk my cuppa I shall go back and do part 2 of the washing up. I'm fine as long as I sit down when I can and then do a bit more when I can. Have a good day all and stay safe.

The washing was drying nicely when it suddenly chucked it down. It was so heavy it reminded me of the monsoon. It went on for half an hour. Gordon spun and put it out again. Still pretty damp might have to put it on a rack.

Evening all a horrible day here, we've both been resting and done absolutely nothing.  Gordon had bad fall last night. Brodie got under his feet and he lost his balance.  I found him a minutes after it happened, winded and on then floor.  He's not feeling great, no damage, maybe a few bruises but  shaken.  It's been wet and windy hear cleared up late afternoon and the sun came out fo  half an hour.  Wind getting up again now.
 

Afternoon ladies

Same weather here, wet n windy. Although the wind's dropped slightly at the moment. I put some new fabric on the shop last night and so busy today with new orders for masks. Someone on Twitter nominated me on a sewing event on Twitter and I won a beautiful sewing box and contents.  It was a lovely surprise and can't wait to receive it next week. 

Hope Gordon is feeling better now Carol. It's a nasty shock when you take a tumble.
