Good afternoon Folks,aye it’s wet and chilly here too,

I’m seriously considering getting rid of the internet as Virgin Media charges are costing an arm and a leg now compared to a few years ago…I phone them up and complain and They lower the charges,but before I know it they’ve risen again…I hate the thought that internet providers have Me by the short & curlies :rage:…Looking sensibly at it, I really only use it for online shopping,posting on here,TV & Landline phone…but…I do have a mobile phone which I use more,and it wouldn’t bother Me to just have freeview on the tele’…so…if You don’t see Me around in the next couple of weeks,You’ll know I’ve gone forever :smiling_face_with_tear:

Been out for a walk along another stretch of the Bridgewater canal. Not too bad for a while but horribly drizzly on the way back. Cold, wet and tired now.

Could do with a heatwave for a couple of days.

Trust you are all well.

I’m knackered too … I went out in the rain and struggled back with ice cream and biscuits and other horrendously awful calorific time bombs. I just had an unshakeable urge for one of those Vienetta ice cream log thingies.
It was fun watching the squirrels,

Oooooh. Haven’t had one of those viennetta thingies for years. Didn’t know they still made them.

As an aside …. top tip is that the magnum equivalents from Aldi are really good and a fraction of the price!

Mmmm … the crispy chocolate layers are to die for.

Magnums are yummy too. Aldi hey? I’ll remember that. I have to confine eating ice cream to either side of my dieting.

Seems we’re similar weather wise here May.
Am prepping a new window ledge to replace the bathroom one with next week. So priming and painting over the next couple or so days.

Going to amend my awning again with the borrowed sewing machine.

Not much else, other than to nip out and get some lamb and stuff to make a curry tomorrow morning, so it has time to steep in the spices ready for daughter Dex when she returns tomorrow from her overnight stay in London.

@Rox, how’s the neck?

Good morning. Another one her who doesn’t know what to get up to. Some in housework and do more knitting on the hat for my nephew in Australia, his gran is off to visit him next week . Will have to do some food shopping as the cupboards are bare.

Morning, Still wet n windy here and about 12/13 degs, guess that fleece will be in use again today.
Meeting a couple of my pals later for a catch up and maybe out for dinner tonight…maybe.
Enjoy your weekend folks. :slightly_smiling_face:

It’s easing up but still sore, another appointment at the Chiropractor next Tuesday and I hope it’s the last, getting expensive now. I usually only go every six weeks for body maintenance, gawd knows how I buggered up my neck. :sob:

Hi ThistleAndlink. Welcome from the Forum! I’m just the grumpy old Scotsman but I live in Yorkshire now…

Good morning Folks,a dry sunny windy one here so thought I’d clean the outside windows as they’re filthy after all the rain…Sheesh!..I must have shrunk as I can’t quite reach the top of them :grimacing:…Daughter laughing says She’ll finish them when They come later and I’ve been warned NOT to get the ladders out :roll_eyes:

Hi to T & I,and welcome to the OFC,nice to see You posting on here.

Have a good Sunday All.xx

Morning All, and welcome to our new friend T n L. It’s a wild day up here, lots of the wet stuff and 45mph winds…Yuck. Was at the village shop earlier for stuff to make a big pot of soup, also bought a couple of big slabs of tablet as the lady who makes it had just dropped a batch off, it’s much better than the stuff the big companies make, so glad I got some as it’ll be gone by the end of the day. Right onward, the housework awaits.
Enjoy your day everyone. :slightly_smiling_face:

Good morning and welcome to T&L. Staying home and and catching up on things round here, nephew is coming round to paint some more of the fence if it stays dry. Have a good Sunday everybody.

Here (Yorkshire) it is clear and cold at 13C. And the wee dog loves it.

Good day to you all. Rox, it’s not that you’ve grown shorter, it’s that the rain has led to your house growing taller.

Busyish morning … made a lamb curry, replaced the screen of Mrs Dex’s iPad, and am having a cuppa before I redesign the brickwork leading to the catflap (I’ll explain in more depth at some point).

Daughter Dex home from her jaunt later, and I’ll be press ganged into helping her make carrot juice and some “green” juice.

Saw a headline earlier that it’s meant to be a mini heatwave this week, with temps hitting 26+.

We shall see.

Enjoy yourselves.
