Thanks Carol.
Yes Susie, I planned on spending the whole weekend with just her and me, and not going out.
God morning all.
Yes loverly photos of the daffodils and love the idea of the phone box library.
All we have is box on a wall for books. We have two but on different roads.
Gloomy is the word that I would explain the weather.
I could not take Minnie over the field this morning as the football mob came early. So just went to the other field a short walk away.
Nothing yet planed, so will just let it happen.
Good morning everybody.
Another day with the heating engineer for us today.
He left us Friday evening with it all working & one hour later it had gone cold - water & radiators!!
I expect it will get sorted today.
Tony & I are going to get busy in the kitchen making ministrone soup.
Have a good day allā¦
Good morning all, itās dull and miserable outside and cold.
Not going out today.
Have a nice day all.
Morning all.
I shall probably stay home, apart from the dog walks. I left out one of them yesterday but she wanted to go out. Probably 8pm old time, and did her business, so before bed I let her in the garden. She has stayed there since and doesnāt seem in a hurry. *
I hate the time change. Never know what time to do meals, mine and hers.
*edited. Stayed in bed, not the garden, in case you got confused. 
Morning all ,blue skies and sun .A delivery today of summer clothes . A plant to move and seedlings to pot on .My day is mapped out .
Have a good day
Good morning all.
Yes the time change does mess things up for a few days. I still give Minnie her dinner at the old time so that she knows when it is food time.
It is quite cold out and I was fooled as I only had my thin coat on. The weather station says it is going to rain.
Got a dentist appointment at 2pm. The filling came out again. I hope it is under a year since they done it last, so I will not have to pay.
Morning all.
How did it go at the dentist, Emjay?
I got the car to a garage yesterday. After computer checks it came up with a failing battery, so fitting a stop start one, adding on diagnostic check and vat, I shall most likely get a bill for Ā£205. They didnāt phone at 4.45, as indicated, so not sure when it will be ready. I was told after fitting they would check with the computer again, make sure no more faults came up.
I have the coffee group from 11.
Wonāt be going to the writing group as there is a venue change again and I am not keen on zoom. I feel left out with all the laughter and I miss what is being said. Havenāt done my homework anyway. I shall see.
Morning all , a bit on the misty side here ,
Ive just managed to order a Pack of LFT ,this will be the last week of Free ones .
No plans for today ā¦
Have a good day all .
Morning everyone, well last weekās glorious weather has well and truly gone - itās dull and drizzly here now.
Got a click and collect at Tesco at 11.00 - weāve got Covid, so canāt go in the shops, but will wear masks and wait for the staff to go back in their little shelter before we get out of the car. Itās day 8 for me and Iāve been asymptomatic for 6 days, but still testing positive!
@Eliza I managed to order some too, and theyāre arriving today - if they havenāt arrived by the time weāre going to Tesco, then one of us will have to stay home!
Nothing else on the agenda today, but Iām sure Iāll find plenty to do

Good morning all.
Back from Sainsburyās with my weekly shop. I did not need a lot, but picked up a couple of reduced bits that I can put in stock.
Dentist yesterday did my replacement filling. It was over the 12 months that the last one was done so it was most painful paying Ā£65.20. And that is NHS.
Just got a bread making, finishing in 1hour 41minutes.
Now going to finish the story on my kindle.
Quickly did my homework for the writing group, have emailed that.
Phoned garage, receptionist said she had just walked into the office, nobody about to ask, so I will await a phone call soon,
Blimey, time has gone quick. Need to leave the house soon for coffee group.
The woman who is currently dong the numbers on Countdown on Channel 4, Anne-Marie Imafidon, is that her own hair as it seems weird?
Please donāt slap me.
Good morning all, a dull, miserable day here.
Off to a Retail park sometime this morning.
Have a nice day all.
Morning everyone, cool here too and chance of snow later they say, brrrrrā¦
Nothing planned for the day yet but Iām not too bothered, something usually turns up.
Have a pleasant day folks 
Good morning all.
It is not nice weather wise here. Dull and cold. Rained a bit in the night.
Off later to the ācake and companyā group. It is not being held in the usual location this month, so meeting in a local pub.
Morning all.
Garage called while I was in the cafe so I phoned for a cab when it looked like we were all ready to leave. One of the ladies lives in the same road as the garage so I offered her a lift. She was happy to accept, but usually walks it. I know the emailed invoice said less than a mile but it is not a walk I am likely to do.
Fingers crossed the car will be ok now.
I wanted my bed early last night, falling asleep on the sofa but I made myself get up, walk about doing things indoors ready, watched Holby (extremely sad) and walked Holly. No #2 from her, and of course she got me up just before midnight for the garden. At least I got a lie in this morning.
Not sure of my own plans for the day. I have a library book to collect, and one to return, but in the middle of another. Might wait till that is finished. I am ok for food.
Bit disappointed in the pie and mash from the neighbour yesterday, not his best. So will see what I can cook for myself today.
Not keen on this miserable weather but as long as it doesnāt snowā¦
morning all,
Very overcast at the moment, yesterday I had an email informing me the Petunia Plug plants are on their way .
Not the best weather for them in the Green house now its turned cold , so might keep them in the spare bedroom till the temps pick up again .
Sleet or snow forcast for today .
Have a good day
Good morning everybody.
Speaking of LFTās, I received some in the post this morning & I didnāt even order them!!
Iām feeling washed out & stressed after a lot of trouble with the plumbers & in pain from my broken elbow so just taking it easy todayā¦
I should imagine you are, Carol! The pain would be enough to be getting on with.
Just seen on social media that Ikea are closing their store in Tottenham, London, where I went last week. I was always in there when I lived in Walthamstow, being just minutes away, and also managed a trip last June during my London holiday. The nearest one now will be Milton Keynes, which I think is a 2.5-3 hr drive away. Canāt understand their reasons behind it, but cynics reckon the land will have housing built on it. A new rail station has opened up opposite, with housing going up everywhere around. Not sure when itās closing, but possible end of this summer.
Wonder if the Tesco next door will also fall victim to this.
