Chit Chat Thread (Part 2)

Afternoon all, had a trip around the Poole Harbour today then a picnic and a walk at Upton Country Park, cold wind but mild enough and dry, as good as it gets in February what more could you ask…

Our vessel for the day…

All aboard with Brownsea Island in the distance …

I once did one of those trips. I love Poole. Would travel on the bus that leaves Bournemouth, through Swanage, onto Poole, then back to Bournemouth. Very happy days.

Good morning all.

Its raining here and looks quite miserable outside.

Off out about 9am this morning to do our weekly shopping (see what’s left on the shelves).

Have a good day all.

Morning everyone, raining here too but forecast to clear soon.

We are heading to West Bay for a walk round this morning before driving to Beaminster to meet with yet more relatives for yet another pub lunch! Home tomorrow though, and probably go on a diet then for a week to shed the extra pounds from this week’s gorgefest… :innocent:

Have a good day folks :slightly_smiling_face:

Morning all.

Allotment at 11, in the hope the gardener turns up on time to rotavate my plot. Then this afternoon someone else expected to quote for garden post renewal.

Some of yesterday’s Chinese takeaway for lunch.

Good morning all.
That seems like a nice outing Barry.
The only time we went to Poole, was to get the fast ferry to Jersey with the car and dog Noodle.
I also went again to Jersey but by plane from city airport. That took a fraction of the time as via boat.
Weather report from my part.
Cold, overcast.
I have a bread making, and using a different timing. It takes 4 hours instead of the usual 2 that I was using. Same ingredients, but a more rise and softer.

Good morning all.

Off to get my haircut at 9am, then popping into Tesco on the way back, nothing else planned for the day.

Have a nice day all.

Morning all.

Nothing planned, other than paying for my April Shearings trip, as I have a pension going in today.

Good morning all.
Cold and a frost. But I can see some orrible clouds heading this way.
As usual for a Friday, lunch at Morrisons, and then dinner at my daughter’s.
I was trying to get free road tax for my car. I thought that as I now have a blue badge, I would qualify. But no. It would seem that you have to be receiving the higher rate of cash support to qualify. Now that I find strange. If you get top cash support, you qualify for it free, But them that get nothing don’t. :thinking:

Good morning everybody.

Ady & Paula are picking us up & taking us to lunch. Josh will be coming too as it’s half term here in Derbyshire.

Maybe do a bit of hoovering when we get back.

Have a good day all…

Morning peeps, no big plans for the day, just baking bread this morning then I need to start thinking about setting some seeds off for the veg garden… March 1st on Weds already, so best get cracking methinks…

Have a good day folks :blush:

Good morning all.
It is very cold out here. Just glad to get back in from the early walk.
As usual for a Saturday, laundry being done.
My daughter has gone to the IOW until Monday, so cat duty for me.
Did I mention that I was thinking of getting an Ebike? Not going to now, as it seems that most of them are illegal. The police are seizing them that have ‘throttle’ control. This it seems started in New York.
So all those guys that do food and other deliveries, now become unemployed or use a normal bike.

Morning all.

Oh that’s annoying, Emjay. I thought it was only escooters the ban applied to.

My brother bought a mobility scooter yesterday, and talked about paying insurance. I asked what it was for…third party liability, theft, etc., he replied he didn’t know. *sigh.

Raining here atm, so dog walk might wait till it passes.

Morning all.

Beautiful sunshine here, might go for a walk later.

Was up late this morning, so have only just put the washing machine on, not had breakfast yet.

Have a good day all.

Morning Susie, morning all, bright here too but quite a frost first thing.

Back from walking the dog now, and doing a few chores before travelling to Leicester later for lunch with eldest son and family.

Enjoy the day folks :slightly_smiling_face:

Morning all.

The sun is just peeping over the rooftops, but yes, I bet it’s cold.

Nothing planned, really. I talked myself out of going to the retail park yesterday and have a feeling I will be doing the same today.

Good morning all.
Yes when I went out at 0700 it was cold and frosty.
Why so early? That horrible little dog woke me up at 0545 to go out for a pee. I went back to bed and 10 minutes later she wanted to go out again for a poo.
Made and had breakfast, took her out around the field. I was just going to go do my daughters cat. I then noticed that that horrible little dog had done a wee in the kitchen. ARRRRG.:triumph:.
Done the cat, and now trying to relax with a cuppa.

Oh no, the aging pet. She doesn’t have dementia, does she?

Morning all.

Got Dentist this morning for a filling (can’t wait).

Then i’ve got to wait in for a GP phone call.

Have a nice day all.

Morning all.

Good luck Susie. Will think of you under that drill. Urgh.

I might put together the little Wilko greenhouse I went out for yesterday, get it outside. Seems with the forecasted beast from the east I have no idea when my allotment one will be put up. I might start some trays off indoors, then move outside later.
