Finally it has stopped raining, i feel like i've been reborn

Widdershins · 23-02-2020 2:24pm

I found my favourite dress I'd mislaid for days, and my Dicentra "Lady in a bath" plant is coming up. The flowers look like pink and white heart shaped locket necklaces dangling from arching stems, it's a spectacular plant.

Your Face · 23-02-2020 2:26pm

The bit of sun we had this morning.

Makes a great difference.

The table quiz at our local pub was great last night, and I won two bottles od prosecco as a spot prize.

Graces7 · 23-02-2020 2:53pm

Took a mug of coffee outside and watched the sky and ocean and the cats playing... Light at the end of the tunnel and happy with it

Graces7 · 23-02-2020 7:39pm

another " fixit" happy!

many months ago, a gale took off the outside flap of the letterbox. Since then the inner flap has rattled and I ran out of sticky tape to stick it down as else also a draft . Today new cat learned how to free it..

So I really had a good look... two minutes later I had picked 4 very thin twigs off the elderberry bush, pushed them in the holes on the flap and frame and HEY PRESTO!

If only all problems were so easily solved... But feeling ridiculously happy..

NB mail is left at the gate so the letterbox is not used .

Our musical is over! 6 nights to huge crowds and standing ovations. It's such a great feeling. Now I am happy that I can spend some time with my boyfriend because god love him, he might as well have been single for the last month!

branie2 · 23-02-2020 10:33pm

Drinking a glass of Prosecco

cj maxx · 24-02-2020 7:23pm

Watching the chase with my 6 yo who's screams she got the answer right but couldn't say as " she forgot" what the word was.
Competitive streak in that one ðŸ˜

Graces7 · 24-02-2020 8:40pm

Playing " bedmice" with one of the youngest cats. Oh she is so smart and fast! Ears up, eyes down; POUNCE!;)

It's been a tough time in the hb house following a family bereavement so it's really lovely to be catching up on the TH thread and to be writing a TH myself. I called in to the home place after work this evening and it was a bit like old times with all the banter at the supper table. The local paper has a Spot the Celebrity type photo competition and my Dad is this weeks celebrity (I use the term "celebrity" loosely as it's a very small place!) What has me TH is how such a silly thing has us all smiling. My Dad, who never likes a fuss is lapping it up while my Mum is acting like she's Jackie O! Also, there's a good chance that one of us may win the prize as we've bought so many copies of the paper and we're 100% sure of the answer!

24-02-2020 9:08pm

^^ That's brilliant Hb! Your Mam's acting like Jackie O

ArnoldJRimmer · 25-02-2020 3:33am

I'm a glass half full kind of guy, so as annoyed as I was about my car battery being dead first thing this morning, and having to make alternative arrangements to get to work, I'm TH that my mate called round this evening and showed me how to jump start a car. He also loaned me his rechargeable battery until I get it checked out

branie2 · 25-02-2020 4:31pm

Pancakes for lunch

Widdershins · 25-02-2020 6:09pm

TH Bagder Balm muscle rub and Tiger Balm give me exciting dreams. I think it's the ginger.

gifted · 25-02-2020 8:05pm

Has to be pancakes or lack of them lol lol....
Chicks kept eating them as I was making them, the piggies lol lol......Nutella with Strawberry ice cream and marshmallows....oh God...lol lol

Autosport · 25-02-2020 8:35pm

Pancakes glorious pancakes

Snails pace · 25-02-2020 8:57pm

I found a tenner in my pants pocket that i didn't know was there

the little things

Boom_Bap · 25-02-2020 8:57pm

I decided to only eat round things today.
Pancakes, pizza and I'll have a few ginger crunches later if I'm feeling frisky.

dubstarr · 25-02-2020 10:40pm

The kids go to school and come back on their own.So no more school runs for me.Which is great in this weather.

branie2 · 25-02-2020 10:40pm

More pancakes earlier on tonight, this time with friends

madmaggie · 26-02-2020 12:47am

I went to the local café for a coffee, didn't even ask about pancakes as I assumed they wouldn't be doing gluten free. Barely sat down when the owner tells me about gluten free pancakes and all the toppings. I had three, and nearly ate the plate as well.

cj maxx · 26-02-2020 12:54am

Reading posts about pancakes just reminded me I have batter in the fridge. Guess what's for supper

26-02-2020 2:24am

This is my 2,500th post and it's only taken me five and a half years!

Graces7 · 26-02-2020 7:40am

Happy all the cats ( well except Tonto who is in hiding from the storm and his share is awaiting him..) are stuffed with raw chicken and snug asleep. Life is so simple for a well loved cat.. Was not up to making pancakes; ah well!

God, I love the internet. I bought several silk camis ('preloved' but basically new) in different pastel colours and none of them cost more than £12.00. All very high quality and designer made.
I'm looking forward to swanning around in liquid silk, staying cool in the summer heat. They also make a nice base layer in colder weather

Graces7 · 26-02-2020 1:18pm

The gale has eased, the sun is shining and I picked a marigold... Happies

branie2 · 26-02-2020 3:14pm

Pancakes for lunch again today

Bit of talk about flight cancellations due to Covid-19 over in that thread and the unlikeliness of insurance covering it etc. Didn't want to post this there and go off topic but it reminded me of this:

A few years ago I was abroad and due to fly to another country as part of my trip but a bereavement at home meant I had to cut my holiday short and instead of flying to my second destination that day, fly home instead. I was extremely upset and I rang the airline JAT Airways (Serbian airline), to cancel my flight at the last minute. I had no travel insurance.

The lady on the call was so lovely and understanding and totally unexpectedly said 'how would you like your refund? Back to card you paid with?' I said yeah but was thinking it was a mistake. I had a full refund within 48 hours! No forms to fill in, nothing.

Then I had to go to a desk and book home with another airline and that lady was just lovely too. She assigned me a really good seat and made sure it was on the aisle so I could pop to the loo if I was very upset and needed a moment.

Graces7 · 26-02-2020 5:26pm

My wonderful internet connection has been a little erratic this week, It is a small local firm ( God bless you, Westnet!) and I told them way back they were amazing as the dish is on the north/ocean facing gable end wall of the old cottage and while I often cannot stand up there, it has never so much as flickered in all the gales.

When I was with digiweb before I came here the engineer knew the way to the house as it went off in heavy rain

Mu new server is inexpensive and 24/7 with no restrictions. ,..... ,

So I called them. Around noon. Got a phone message before 2 pm that it was fixed; transmitter? .. Made me very happy

A renaissance man entering my local, and sharing his broad knowledge accumulated from lifelong travels. Flatcaps of the world unite. I'm not in the best place right now, discussion of music & poetry immediately lifted my mood. As a failed scribe, Kipling and Keats took centre stage. Simplicity of sharing favourite music, and breaking into song. Tony Bennett, Sam Cooke & Edith Piaf by popular demand. Life is good my friend, life is good.

Wayne Jarvis · 27-02-2020 9:22am

My drive to work this morning,
Sunglasses? Check!
Reggae playlist? Check!
Dancing as much as I can while safely operating my car? Check!
Being warm on a very cold morning? Check!

It feels like a bit of life has returned to the country the last two days, all we needed was a bit of sun and a break from the rain. Now if the cold could kindly fook right the fook off we might start seeing more smiles around the place.

Small note; have you seen what is coming our way at the weekend? Happy we will cope but....happy at the short break from gales …

Widdershins · 27-02-2020 11:50am

I went for a ramble and I saw wild rabbits in their favourite field.Every spring I look out for them frolicking in the morning sun. There was one big cuddly one with a fluffy pompom of a tail that flashed as he lolloped along happily. Ahhhh so adorable.

dubstarr · 27-02-2020 1:33pm

My 2 grandsons are coming over today.Cant wait for a lovely squeeze

Your Face · 27-02-2020 3:14pm

Sitting in the car for lunch and I spot this jackdaw.
He kept taking grass and moss and was bringing it to the top of an old tree stump.
I don't know what he was doing but it looked interesting.

Gathering material to build a nest by the sounds of it.

Widdershins · 27-02-2020 8:37pm

I wonder what the inside of a really good scavenger magpie's nest looks like. Assuming it's true that they collect shiny things?
Maybe that's where my 2 odd earrings, necklace, and bracelet are.

TH richly associative thought aka daydreaming with pasta and a glass of wine

Maybe, he might have been drying out his building materials on the tree stump.

Sardonicat · 28-02-2020 1:33am

I'm far too old for the level of enjoyment I'm getting from the 'Ruin the Band Name' thread. The toilet and smutty humour has me chortling and snorting like a 12 year old reading rude words in a dictionary. A much needed, utterly childish laugh lifting my spirits.

HildaOgdenx · 28-02-2020 2:36pm

A cup of coffee, a bunch of daffodils and a new book.

Bredabe · 28-02-2020 5:55pm

Got the queries over my return sorted and seeing the refunds sitting in my account.

Bredabe · 28-02-2020 6:00pm

I felt guilty putting the oven on to cook my vegan sausages rolls,
after a quick rummage I found a handful of other products that bake at much the same time and temp.

Th, I have made the best use of the space in the over(almost overcoming the two occasions I've burned my hands)
Th2, Items just needing to defrost and be heated on the night shifts.

Edit, all out of the oven now, Indian, Veggie, Vegan, Asian, all chilling in the fridge:P

mikemac2 · 28-02-2020 8:29pm

I got these new headphones with something called "noise cancelling"

Maybe some here knew all about this and had it for years but it was new for me. Forgive the noob

I love it! I did a lot travelling by train over the weekend and it cuts out much of the background noise. Not all of it but enough to make a much more comfortable journey. I listened to my audiobook in peace

Noise cancelling rocks!

Wayne Jarvis · 28-02-2020 9:38pm

TH at finding out there is a Ron Burgundy podcast in existence, fantastic news to get for me, I worship that fictitious man.

And then to find out there is an Alan Partridge podcast coming out next month? Even more fantastic news!

They are my favorite birds here, I have 3 that visit my backyard every morning for their peanuts. And all the while I have a murder of crows on the powerlines waiting their turn,heh.

Th my nephew coming for a visit today and we were playing in the sink and he kept splashing me 😮 the rascal 😃
