Good morning everyone. 

It's dry here at the moment - but not for long. The gardener is now waiting for a dry day  to cut the grass.

I've got the hairdresser at the house today. She's gone mobile.  I was waiting for a cancellation, but she's actually coming.  Then I'm going to finish the crochet along section for this week  Its a rectangular blanket and it starts with a rectangle, then two squares that add either side of the rectangle then we join them and start going in rounds.   Next doors are having new kitchen fitted. They started Friday and luckily their noisiest day coincided with me houseworking and making my own noise. 

Good morning everyone.

Its actually dry here at the moment

I'm off to Knit and Natter, then Chair Yoga then WI tonight. Not sure I'll manage them all today. We'll see

Well this is odd, I wrote a post this morning and come back now and it's not here. Weird. 
Oh well never mind.
It's been a lovely sunny day today with a bit of a breeze, great to have a dry day for once. 

Been trying to find a good carpenter to come and look at the porch and give a quote on replacing it as the 3 companies I had quotes from for the court, on has gone bust and the other 2 are booked up til end of the year, and I wanted the porch up before winter if possible.

Sounds like you have the wind we had yesterday Starry. Diane, did you make all 3 things today, 

Good morning all. It's a lovely bright and sunny morning here. Once my kitchen duties are done the day is mine. I'll probably finish my book.  Jimmy is out in the garden worshipping the sun. No doubt he'll come in when he's hungry. Have a good day all.
 

Afternoon all. 

Diane that was a weird day for you. I found when the physio came to me a few times the exercises she told me to do made me worse, so after 3 weeks I stopped doing them. It was for my balance, and she also gave me some to help the arthritis in my hips, it made them even worse. Makes you wonder if they actually know what they're doing. 

Starry I've been pretty lucky with couriers but I do get the odd one like the one you had, or rather didn't have, yesterday. They just can't be bothered. 

Carol, Jimmy would stay outdoors if the weather was good every day (and night) wouldn't he lol 

I've got XPets this Sunday so must try and suss out what to do for that, it's getting a problem now to think of new things, thank God it's only once a month. 

I've been phoning round carpenters about the porch and at last one is supposedly coming Monday to take a look and listen to what I want doing. I was going to go for a lean to conservatory but can't get anyone to put it up for me. There's some real bargains now but a lot of them have the door too close to the house so wouldn't work here as I have an air source heat pump each side so wouldn't be able to open the door. So another wooden one it will have to be. Hopefully if it's built properly this time it should be weatherproof.

The guy who put the plywood on the roof of this one is tied up til mid December then it'll be too wet to do anything, but he's finding someone's phone number for me who may be able to do it but not heard back from him yet. He's probably forgotten to ask. 

I'm still having a clear out, most of the clothes I have taken to the charity depository and now I'm on to the bedding, duvet covers, duvets, pillows, sheets, towels, etc. Plus I've got a lot of dresses and tops to sell which have never been worn so not giving those away. When I can be arsed to photograph them and list them on Ebay. I did download Vinted but dont know how to use it LOL 

I'll be so glad when the football has finished and the tennis, the tv channels are all over the place and you have to hunt around for regular programmes because they're all moved to make room for the ruddy football.
