Morning Anng and all,

Its bright here this morning and the sky is sort of blue. Same as you Anng 3 degrees and theres been a frost as the car has the remnants of fern p[etterns on it.

My magnolia and forsythia are both out up at the south facing wall so a little later than the one Gwyn saw in Kent.

I am dying for my coffee and I have made it too hot!! Better put more milk in it.

Had a horrid dream about borrowing mums car which was a Ford in gold but this one wa metalic blue and I stopped somewhere and when I went back to the car it had been pinched. I went back to a shop I had been in and asked if they would call the police and they did but they could'nt find it. I went bak to the car park and a man and I found it in a ditch covered in moss. I pulled some of the moss back and said yes its my mums car as the tudor bricks are still in the back. Now where on earth did that all come from??

Good luck for the dentist and hope its not as bad as you think its going to be. Oh always told me to take some paracetamol before going for a clean.

Good morning AnnG and all

I hope your dental appointment isn’t too uncomfortable

It’s also 3 degrees and dry here. At the moment it’s bright but I don’t think it’s going to stay that way.

We haven’t heard about our spring Covid jabs yet. We had our last one on October 2nd so are shortly due for the next.

I’m hoping to get into town today but otherwise I haven’t got any plans

Good morning all it is only 3 degrees outside I think we are going backwards now. At least it is dry so far and hoping it stays that was as I have to walk to the dentist this morning for my second deep clean appointment.
My spring covid jab is booked for Sunday 22 April so that means I can't extend my stay with daughter which is a nuisance.

I cleaned the big girls out this morning and half the bantie and came in for a COT and forgot to go and do her run so she has a nice clean bedroom but not downstairs. I shall have to do that tomorrow.

Just written in my diary and saw that British summertime began today!!!!

We did'nt have a bad day here at least the wind had dropped.

Glad you managed to get a little sleep Vera now take it easy and I hope you get osme well earned sleep tonight too.

We hav'nt heard from Gill for a while.

Going t o watch the new Dickensian thing on BBC now so see you all in the morning.

Good morning AnnG and all

Bucketing down with rain again. The courtyard in front of the house is like a giant paddling pool.

I lay down at about 5 pm yesterday and slept for an hour and I got some sleep last night, though I was very restless. Still feel a bit shaky so I’ll be taking it a bit easy today.


Enjoy your lunch and film AnnG. It sounds as though it will be a good afternoon out.

Morning Anng and all,

Have a nice lunch Anng.

Its quite bright here this morning and pc says 6 degrees and cloudy. I can see a tiny bit of blue sky out the front.

When I got up and looked out the window there were two deer out the back and 3 female pheasents and Phil out by the big girls run. They have got to know the times I feed the girls and are waiting for thier corn too.

good morning all 5 degrees but bright and dry so far. Nothing planned for this morning but being picked up at 1pm to go to lunch at a restaurant called the Aviator which is on the perimeter of Gloucester airport. then going to Tewkesbury theatre to see a film about the artist Cezanne.

I can't get into anything either. The suns gone and its been raining. Iv'e had some lunch so I am now going to get the castings out I did this morning.

BIL did'nt come and I think thats thrown me for today.

hopefully you are jus over tired Vera. Hope you will be back to normal tomorrow. I don't have much enthusiasm for anything today, no reason, no excuse, just can't settle. I have re-potted a couple of plants I had waiting, there are still four more needing to be done. I have given up on the frosted geraniums. they are not going to recover so I am emptying and re-using their pots.

I think part of my problem is I have the dreaded dentist appointment hanging over me for Monday now. :-( :-( :-(

I did make the effort to go to the garden centre with OH. They didn’t have what he wanted so all we came out with was a birthday card for grandson. OH suggested going on to Dobbies, another 20 miles away, so we did that. We nearly got blown over just walking from the car park. The wind was really gusting. He got what he wanted and suggested we had a coffee there but the cafe was packed so we just came back home.

I still feel very strange and disoriented, as though I’m wearing someone else’s head :-S. I think I am functioning normally but feel as though I’m on the outside looking in, if you know what I mean. I’m sure a good night’s sleep will make all the difference so I’m hoping for the best tonight.

sorry Vera I meant to say maybe if you went to the garden centre it would clear your head and you would feel better. anyway that is a bit late now so I hope that you have felt better as the day wore on. :-)

It's so annoyiung when that happens but I don't have a problem with eggs.

Fed all the birds and now I am going to do a bit of casting and then go up the shop. I also need to clean the big girls out but the wind is so cold I don't want to do it plus the fact that all the wood shavings blow about which makes more mess.

Hope you feel better later on Vera and perhaps a little outing will buck you up a bit.

Just had the receipt and notification from Tesco. Not so good this week two subs, bacon ok just a different pack, eggs medium substituted for large, ok acceptable as better than no eggs. Not available postage stamps (I guess everyone is stocking up) and reduced one litre Gordon's gin. that is annoying as it was to take to daughter's.

Morning all

It’s another grey day with rain promised for this afternoon and it’s still quite windy. I’m going through one of my regular spells of not sleeping much so feel very heavy headed and lethargic. I haven’t got any plans for the day. OH wants to go to our local, small garden centre for a couple of bits but I’m not sure whether I’ll go with him or not.

It’s a good job you got Asda sorted out Mel.

Mel Fairy Godmother Report 25 Mar 2023 08:21

Morning Anng and all,

I just had an email from Asda saying not to forget my order but I had done it in the week and it was telling me to book a slot. Anyway I think I have sorted it but it took me three quarters of an hour.

Nice bright morning with blue sky and whispy white fluffy clouds scudding across onthe wind and its 9 degrees.

Hoping BIL comes today as he did say he was coming this week to start sorting the shed.

good morning all. 7 degrees here so far and feels a bit chilly sky is cloudy bright. slept ok but lots of dreaming that I can;t remember except I woke up feeling really sad and I hate that.

Tesco delivery this morning but nothing else planned for today. could do a bit more tidying in the garden if it doesn't rain I suppose.

Even more confusing if you google pronunciation of Maya. Seems it can be pronounced every which way :-D

SuffolkVera

SuffolkVera Report 24 Mar 2023 19:26

Surprised you feel confused AnnG as that’s how I would have pronounced it. Well, it’s a pretty name however it’s pronounced.
