Morning

As it was raining hard yesterday morning I drove to the hospital for my xray, and I expected to have to wait ages as its a drop in service. However I was back home within 30 minutes which amazed me. It’s a bit damp this morning but noticeably warmer. It should dry up later today though not actually raining at the moment. Bob wants to walk down to the bank this morning and I have sewing with Maxine this afternoon. I have finished my suit jacket at last apart from the button holes so Maxine will help me where exactly to put those. This evening I have zoom pilates at 6.45 pm.

Have a dood day all

That was good service Sue! Nice to hear of something medical going well.....
I have just got up after a big second sleep. All that presses in on me today is cooking veggies.... I shall take my time over it. And yes, it looks as though we have come out of the unseasonably cold weather that has been the norm lately.....

Three hours of honest endeavour and I have four pans of cooked veggies and two meals of Smoked mackerel, chips and peas for dinner and tea.... When the hob has cooled I will clean it.... That's a good morning!

Once again no shed. I am waiting for weather good enough to paint castings outside!
Other than that.... savoury cabbage needs cooking....

Morning

Today will be warm and dry. I have art at Haslingden this morning and a dental appointment this afternoon to discuss the treatment I need for an ailing tooth, that unfortunately is supporting a bridge at the front of my mouth. I fear a hefty bill and rather a lot of work to be done. This afternoon, late, Lucy will come to do the hem on her dress. Her next challenge is a pair of trousers which we will start sometime in the near future to fit in with her exams.

Have a good day all

Stanley, am I getting something wrong, isn’t your shed in your house? If so, why can you not do your painting? Am I missing something?

It's spray painting and as a matter of principle I don't do that in the shed Gloria.... And it's just as much a matter of fume dispersal and quick drying as anything. Same restrictions apply to my woodwork on the plinths with the router... Too much mess!
(And I don't enjoy either job so am very easily discouraged! )

Get it now Stanley

It's brighter than forecast and warm so I was tempted to start painting as soon as I had finished getting my savoury cabbage cooking.... But then common sense prevailed, it will do tomorrow....

Morning

Its a lovely morning and nice warm day forecast. This morning I have u3a art, this afternoon u3a Enjoyment of wine where Bob has organised a blind wine tasting, then its an early tea out at the Italian restaurant with Wendy and Keith. Have a good day all

After a bad start due to site attack things are looking up and later I shall be painting in the back yard......
Oh and I have to post a letter....

The fine weather has arrived so the painting got done this morning in the yard.... Glad that's out of the way and it's good drying weather as well.

'Playing' with the tools I got from Colin's workshop
Been making the hip flashings for the gazebo.

Ripped some 3x1 down and used the biscuit jointer to fix them together
You can never have enough clamps and it appears I don't

After a rough start with the site in the early hours things improved. I have cooked my buttered swede as an extender, Painted my castings and posted my letter. In between I read my smart meters. Time to knock off now....
