Good morning all on this warm final day of September, supposed to get to 28° later.
When I got up this morning I checked on my daughter’s progress home, she was over the NT at the time. It always makes me laugh that any flight to Asia from SE Australia involves spending at least half the time flying over Australia.
Just got off the phone to her she is waiting for her Canberra domestic flight, it has been delayed so she will be late home this arvo. That flight is all taking off and landing, it is only about 200km as the Qantas jet flies.
Have had the mower out earlier to get the grass under control, as soon as the warmer weather arrives it goes mad if the ground has any moisture in it. However it is really nice being out in the garden in spring, Goldilocks temperatures.
I’m going to Curry’s this morning to buy a new vacuum cleaner
The problem with buying any new item is that you can go on & on and round & round but eventually you just have to settle on something, certain in the knowledge that two months later you’ll wish you’d bought something else.
I’ve browsed round at Curry’s a couple of times, handled a few, watched YT Videos and more or less settled on a Bosch Unlimited 7 BCS711GB
So unless I see anything else I like when I’m in the store that’s what I’ll get
Curry’s is on the same retail park as Sainsbury so I might do a bit of ordinary shopping as well
Good morning - I think I’m turning into a teenager. Laid in bed this morning until 8.20 a.m. All that sweaty hot weather has gone and laying there in comfortable warmth listening to LBC Radio and Surrey Radio was very pleasant.
It couldn’t last of course and now up and about. Mrs mart was waiting for me to put the rotary washing line up having got the washing ready to go out on this sunny, mild and dry day. I’ve just ordered another washing line. One that should be easier to open up. The existing one is pretty old and the line is showing signs of wear anyway.
We did the same last week. We went by the claimed wattage of suction power. A Samsung was chosen. We would have bought it from Currys but it was out of stock. Ordered it online in the end. Cordless vacuum cleaners don’t always work very well but the Samsung seems good. Early days though so we’ll see.
Nice and bright here on the south coast. Last night it was so cold, I felt the need to turn our heating on. This morning, it’s so warm I had to turn it off again after my daily walk.
Loads going on here in the ‘Graham household’, apart from everything else, we’re having trouble with BT messing up our accounts and my mobile data limits. And Mrs G is gradually losing it down the phone to the idiot on the other end as I write this.
Sometime later it’s our usual coffee and sandwich (possibly a muffin) and then we are up to my late Father in Law’s house to help clean out his belongings, most of which will end up in various charity shops as hardly any of it has any value. A good percentage will end up in the local refuse dump and we have been getting hold of bin bags and boxes to clear it all out. (My Father in law was a bit of a hoarder).
So it’s all hands to the pump and roll up the sleeves day. As soon as this is all sorted, the sooner everyone can draw a line over it and move on, at least it will after the funeral.
Yeah, same here Surfermom, out for my usual walk early on and had to do some running to keep warm.
I’ve been putting our heating on in the evenings for the last week Graham, our bedroom never gets the sun and is like a crypt at night.
Out with the neighbours tomorrow, it’s their 59th wedding anniversary, so we’ll have a knees up at garden centre…Well, lunch anyway.
I should go out in the garden after making a start on the holly bush, but it filled up the green wheelie bin and I can’t get anymore in until it’s emptied on Thursday…That’s my excuse anyway…
