Good morning everyone, it is May day when we celebrate the 8 hour day achieved, at least in Australia, in 1850s (8 hours work, 8 hours play, 8 hours sleep), not a public holiday in NSW though.
Eight hours to work,
Eight hours to play,
Eight hours to sleep,
Eight bob a day.
A fair dayâs work,
For a fair dayâs pay.
A repeat of the previous week of warmish days (25°) but with the remote chance of shower this evening.
Of course my morning walk went off with out a hitch, lots of corellas out and about enjoying the morning sunshine.
Received a message on my phone telling me that a package had been delivered from Amazon. Oh dear, I made a mistake, it was what I ordered but I was expecting two USB C cables rather than just one. I checked and it was entirely my own fault
For the rest of the morning I have been doing little jobs around the house, probably will get the mower out later and mow the lawn.
Enjoy your Friday whatever you are up to. The weekend beckons.
Good morning everyone, typical May Day weather over here, sunny and cloudy at the same time, cold North winds blowing after a rainy day yesterday. Such a shame, it was warming up really nicely.
I wonât be resting, lots of housework to do, and I think Iâll pull up some weeds outside in our backyard and do some general outdoor Spring cleaning. I need to cut my way through a mass of very tall shrubs to get to my cherry tree which has some fruits that will hopefully ripen soon.
I want to keep myself occupied so I wonât think about our cat whoâs gone missing.
Just as Iâm writing this, the sun has decided to hide completely behind the clouds, doesnât look too good, really chilly out there,jackets and jumpers out again.
Have a good May Day to all who celebrate it today too, I know itâs on Monday in the UK.
Today itâs been up early and last minute panic getting everything ready. Weâre off on our cruise to Norway today, so itâs get the house ready (water, gas) work out how Iâm going to get our over-stuffed suitcases in my car, make sure we have everything and make our way to the docks, which is about 40 mins away. I have no on-board data as its a rip-off, so the only time I can go online is when ashore if there is wifi around.
Morning all â as it is a Bank Holiday this weekend, the weather has changed! It is grey and overcast with rain and possibly thunder forecast for this afternoon!
Hope the cat turns up soon Rose
Have a great holiday Graham
Met up with the âgirlsâ yesterday, had a lovely catch up sitting in the sunshine on the terrace of the village hall.
Driving home a light on my dashboard was on â I have never seen this light on before and thought what bad luck, the day my car mechanic neighbour goes on holiday my car decides to play up. Got home and found the reason the light was on was because the boot wasnât closed properly!
Nothing much planned for today â will wait and see what transpires!
We have warm sunny spring day, temps in the 20c and Ive put my long summer Skirt on !.
I think the temps are dropping again tomorrow though .
I think I might do some house work today, Ive left it while my back was painful, or I might leave it for another day âŠ
@Rose , Cats are quite the wanderer in Spring , I only had one Cat and it stayed out for 3 nights, we went out looking for it under cars , calling out its name at night, (Mr Tibbs ) it eventually came back , with its face all scratched , obviously been in a Cat fight , and I was told it was Spring Fever , Cats go looking for Mates .
Hello EveryoneâŠ
First of MayâŠalready one third of the way through 2026âŠ
Sorry to hear about your cat Rose, they can be such a worry. I hope it turns up soon safe and wellâŠ
Have a great holiday Graham, although I feel the cold these days so would be looking for somewhere warmerâŠPerhaps the MedâŠ
Such a nice morning so I did an extra long walk down to Bramwith lock.
Before you arrive at the lock, you pass the junction. Left to Leeds and right for the lock and on to Keadby.
Went to Chinatown this morning, bought some goodies but didnât stay for lunch. We caught a bus to a favourite sushi joint in Kensington. Super weather, about 25C.
