Good morning everyone.
Its another lovely day. Thank heavens for this weather.
No washing to do. Must fit a walk in. Paul is doing some shopping today and apart from a cauliflower if he finds a lovely one in his veg shop, he is popping into a local DIY place to see if he can find some shed paint so hubby can paint them and tidy them up. When we had our FaceTime with him yesterday Hannah was sitting out in her bikini, sun bathing as she worked.

Morning ladies another beautiful one.
My wormery arrived yesterday from France, so spent an hour setting that up, the time was mostly taken by soaking the coir block for their bedding. Once it was all ready I put them in and put their moisture blanket over them. It says they may be traumatized by the journey but they seemed ok this morning with only about half a dozen venturing up into the next tray. It's a stacking system, they work their way up through the trays and the working tray they're in is turned to compost. It's mean to be kept indoors, but can go outdoors too as long as you protect it in the winter. It's rather a snazzy looking bit of kit and much better designed than the ones you see over here. In 12 months they will have turned all my kitchen waste into 75L of compost and given me gallons of worm tea to use as liquid fertiliser. So hopefully will save me some money next year on buying compost and fertilisers.
Not sure what I'm doing today, I should put the wings on an angel teddy someone ordered so I can send it off. I seem so busy lately with the garden and my crafting, the days just fly by.

Good morning everyone.
Its dry but cloudy here. I read that it was raining earlier.
I've just got up. I had a good nights sleep and went through to 4 - then listened for a couple of hours then went back to sleep. After reading that online delivery slots were available for middle of May I went slot hunting and found one for the 14th May, so shopped before I got up.
Paul delivered some shed paint yesterday so hubby has got to stir himself to do it now. No excuse. I found the brush so he's sorted .. apart from he can't find his decorating clothes ... good luck with that. Not a snowflakes chance in hell.

Good Morning all another sunny day here to enjoy. I did a little bit of work in the garden yesterday, my yew bush hasn't been pruned for a few years and was very overgrown. Gordon did the top and I sat down and did the lower level. It looks much better but I can barely move this morning and I'm in a lot of pain. My magic drops have not helped so sitting with a hot wheat bag. Gordon also has aches and pains. I did enjoy it and it's encouraged me to do a bit more, however, I was furious to find that quite a few of my garden tools have gone missing. I suspect one of my gardeners' has taken them. No way of knowing which one, or when as I never go in there. Yesterday afternoon we went to the pictures at home. We drew the curtains, the film was good, the chairs were comfy and there was an intermission for a cuppa and a comfort break. It made a change and we enjoyed it. We will be doing it again. Last year I bought up a job lot of DVD's for £10, I was expecting 50 and ended up with 300! The seller was clearing her parents home and had found four more boxes which she included. There were several travel ones, so we're going to the Isle of Wight this afternoon. Pity we won't be able to get a cream tea or dip our toes in the sea, but it will pass the time. Have you found any interesting ways of passing the time? Have a good day all.

Good morning everyone.
The sun is out today so we'll be chilling in the garden.
I think I might do hair trims to tidy us up. We'll need a walk as well.
All this tidying up - our houses and gardens will be spick and span.
We both painted the sheds yesterday with two coats, so they are looking nice and tidy. That's one thing we can't do is post photos here now.

Good Morning all. The sun is a bit watery today and it's cooler. The weather is definitely on the change, I'm quite looking forward to a drop of rain. The garden needs it. I think my herbs at the caravan will all be dead now. I can't see this social isolating ending any time soon. I think there will be a second wave of the virus which will be worse than the first. If they do end it we have both decided to remain in isolation for a while longer. We both have health problems so won't be taking any chances. Have a good Sunday all.

Sorry to hear this Starry, can only hope that he has the strength to recover. Is he on the ward or is he in intensive care?

Good morning everyone.
Its cloudy and moody looking outside. It isn't raining yet, but it looks like its not too far away.
Want to fit a walk in sometime, but it might be local so we can dive indoors if it rains.

Evening all. The lovely Sally did my shopping this afternoon, only two items she couldn't get, so I'm a happy bunny. It was such a pain having to wipe everything down with bleach and packing it away. My fridge, freezers and larder are full. Still haven't got any flour, but I have got some ready-made pastry. I'm thinking of making a ginger and rhubarb pie as a treat.It's a funny old life to think that the high spot of our lives' is when the bin men come and when Sally delivers my shopping. The bin men came this morning so I've now an empty bin to fill, guess we're going to have to spend some time in the garage and sort out some rubbish. It's £750 to hire a skip here! Way too much and the tips are all shut. They wonder why fly-tipping is increasing! Gordon has made lots of progress in my garden hardly any weeds at all now. I went out and pruned the lower area on my overgrown yew. I sat down to do it as standing is very difficult for me. Gordon did the higher hights. It will take several more sessions to reduce it to a medium-size ball. It's the first gardening I've done in 3 years! My pain level is horrendous even my CBD drops aren't helping. Hopefully, it will ease soon. Hope life is being kind to you and stay safe.

Good morning everyone.
Its wet here and raining. Oh dear. I'm not going for a walk in the rain that's for sure.
I've just got up. Had a really good night last night. Woke up at 5 ish for a comfort stop and plugged my audio book in and snuggled down and just woken up. The only thing different I did was listen to the concert that Hauser the cello player put on before bed. Half an hour of loveliness and I listened to it two or three times. So might have been nice and relaxed.
It is a fiddle faddle wiping shopping down Annie but worth it I think. I always do it for peace of mind.
