How far have you got into The Crown-Jac?
Seriously thinking about having my panic buy washing machine put in. The old one makes so much noise I canāt hear the radio! What make is your new one Rhosyn? A friend has just had one (make I have never heard of) and she says it is almost silent. I wish!
Finally buckled down and have taken down some of the decorations - now the job of ferrying them upstairs - a bit at a time. Leaving the tree for a few more days, I do enjoy that.
Dark and dismal this morning.
Washing machine arrived at 2 yesterday.Unfortunately they couldnāt install it because the hot water pipe needs isolating and itās siezed.New machine is cold fill only.So Iāve got to get a plumber to do it.So Iāve got two machines in the kitchen.Iāve got the phone number to use once thatās done so they can come back and install it and take the old one away.Why canāt things go right?
Sue-itās a Hotpoint machine.Will report how quiet it is when itās up and running.
Stay safe.
Chilly but some sunshine here . Just finished Charles Investiture Rhosyn. i thought Charles did a good job.
Managed to get a Tesco slot for Wed but nothing then until 25th . thought it might go back to normal after the hols .
Keep warm and safe xxx
As you say Rhosyn - why canāt things go according to plan? Heating engineer finally signed us off this morning. Glad Rob is paying his bill, not me. Managed to blow my shredder up the other day, so contemplating a new one. The battery charger is also giving up the ghost so might be a toss up which to buy first.
Another cold old day here, been taking more of the decorations down but still enjoying the tree in the conservatory so will leave it until tomorrow.
Went shopping early this morning after walking the dog.Driving back there was a big yellow shiny thing in the sky!
The plumber came yesterday evening to cap off the hot water pipe so they are coming tomorrow to install the new machine and take the old one away.
Did a big shop so wonāt have to go out for a week.
Stay safe.
Lovely warm sunshine here. My daughter phoned , in tears . Her front tooth has fallen out and its really hard to see a dentist . Poor girl
Feeling lousy and the watching the news doesnt help
Take care xxx
Trying to watch the news only once a day, so depressing.
Youngest grandson here today. He helped take the tree down, put it and the decorations away and this afternoon we went to fetch Robās meds and some laundry from Bronllys. Had to put sunglasses on the drive down, but we were back to black clouds by the time we got home. Made a big pot of mince and carrots etc. for lunch and his nibs has just had a second helping to keep him going.
Quite sunny here but chilly .My daughter managed to get a dental appt so will have a Bridge in a few weeks . Tesco has been so ok for a while
Take care xxx
Not done much today, except for making a lemon drizzle cake for eldest grandson (his favourite). Went to sleep watching The Chase now on to Chris Tarrant doing a railway journey across Turkey. Would love to do something like that - love a train trip. Weāve had snow showers on and off all day, but not much laying, thank goodness.
Cold but sunny morning.
Had a long phone call with granddaughter last night.Sheās very stressed at the moment-finding it difficult to keep working from home and looking after two little ones especially when they both play up at the same time!
Washing machine still not plumbed in-something else needs to be done with the pipes connecting it so plumber coming this evening,fingers crossed thatāll be it.
G.grandson having a grommit op tomorrow,has to be in the hospital by 7.30 am.Trying to explain to a two year old that he canāt have breakfast isnāt going to be easy.
Stay warm and safe.
Is a grommit op something to do with his ears Rhosyn? Poor little dab, no breakfastā¦
Had a phone call from accountantās office āwhere is the info for your tax returns???ā Been putting it off and putting it off - due in for 31/1/21! Main bother is having to print bank statements because my bank suddenly decided off their own bat not to send me any paper ones (presumably to save themselves money). Well tough luck, I want paper ones, makes it easy to whizz through and they do little enough for me! Anyway, think itās all done now so all I have to do is persuade DIL to drop the papers in for me tomorrow.
Been very quiet here, small grandson is doing school work online and Iāve been doing said tax return!
Dark this morning-looks like snow.
Plumber came again yesterday eve-hopefully Currys can install machine and take the old one away tomorrow.
Little g.grandsonās op is now this afternoon,he has to be in hospital by 11am.Yes Sue it is to do with his ear,heās got whatās known as glue ear.
Wonder what will be announced by the Welsh first minister this afternoon.We already know about school closures.
Keep safe.
Its really cold out there today. Not many on the beach
Trying to put off listening to the news,its so depressing .
Granddaughter may call down later
Hope all goes well with grandson Rhosyn
Keep safe xxx
Hope you little grandsonās op goes OK Rhosyn. So little to have to have that done, but I suppose the sooner the better.
Got all excited when my postlady came (2.30 pm) with a letter inviting me to make an appt for the Covid jab. Phoned, but after waiting about 10 mins the phone was answered by the receptionist at Brecon Hospital who proceeded to transfer me to another number. Waited another five minutes then a young lady said she would take my details and get someone to phone me back. Sat with phone next to me all afternoon but no joy. And they are only working 9 - 4pm Mon. to Friday, which seems ludicrous when you think of the number of appointments that have to be made. I was mad. Think I might try tomorrow morning on the offchance that someone will answer the phone!
Little great grandson had his op yesterday-he was a bit grumpy when he was back on the ward but he was fine.They were home by 4.30. Had a video call with them this morning-my great granddaughter is 4 yrs old today.She showed me her new bike and other things sheād had,I miss seeing them.He couldnāt understand why he didnāt have presents,but he did have a toy car yesterday for being brave in the hospital.
Hope you have success making an appointment for your vaccine-Sue.
Stay warm and safe.
Another cold one .No news really . Granddaughter and daughter called yesterday , they had a job getting here because they are resurfacing the road . Not expecting anyone today so will carry on with The Crown later. Glad all went well with grandson Rhosyn
Be safe xxx
Glad the op went well Rhosyn. Have done sweet f.a. today, apart from some washing and cooking lunch. Very cold and looks decidedly slippery out there so I havenāt put my nose outside the door. Trying to take some extra care of my hands as theyāve become very dry.
Not so cold this morning.
Had the washing machine installed yesterday-at last.Will now have to work out how to use it!
Taking it easy today.
Stay safe.
Its chilly here but quite a few walking on the beach .
Finished The Crown yesterday so will have to look for something else to watch
Keep safe xxxx
