Wash day again

Bed stripped and in the washer, DB says it will rain later........if so it will go in the dryer.

I have been trying to enter my meter readings on line, not been able to for the last 3 weeks, if I cannot do it this morning will be giving them a ring..........

I have been looking at the embroidery I did the other day, have decided that it needs some fancy stitching round the edge, I need to have an in depth look at my sewing machine and find a suitable pattern, it will mean a few sew outs. I will then have to see about getting it framed.

According to DB and the papers we are due a mini heatwave.....we might get the tomato's ripened at last, we also need to pick green beans, they were slow getting going but are growing fast.

Yesterday I used some of the fallen apples and some rhubarb for a crumble, I made too much crumble mix, so its in a container in the fridge, I can use it up for another one.

Cannot remember whats for supper tonight...... pot luck I think.

A bright morning

but DB tells me rain is forecast later.....it was very cold in the night, the heating switched on first thing.

No plans for the day, we have gathered up our library books to return tomorrow, we both have had books booked out to us by the library which we have to collect from the van when it comes. So new reading matter. The last time the van came was the first Monday in March, so 5 months ago.

DB might go for a short wander up the garden a bit later, we were late getting up, as I was late waking.

Supper tonight pork steaks with roast spuds and veg, I have a couple of fallen apples in the fridge so will use some of the rhubarb from the freezer with the apple and make a crumble for dessert.

Its the weekend

No different to a weekday here, more of the same.

Its a sunny morning but there is that chill of autumn in the air, pulled the quilt up over the duvet last night I was cold.

DB is now spending 30 minutes twice a day in the garden, he was out pruning the raspberries yesterday, he found one or two ripe ones which we had on our cereal this morning.

I spent part of yesterday on the embroidery machine, for once she behaved perfectly, one little thread problem, just a couple of secs to sort out. Now I need to see about getting it framed. Our local framer is not working at the moment so I may have to go else where. 

All day breakfast for supper tonight, using our own tomato's, the last of the raspberry jelly for dessert.

THIF

I have had enough of this week, the weather is so unpredictable and its really cold for September.

We did not do much yesterday and couple pf half hours in the garden and DB has been out this morning. I have been watching my embroidery machine doing a design. 

We had blue sky first thing but it has now clouded over and rather chilly. DB has just gone for his siesta.

Life is very boring and predictable just now, I am still not really happy going out apart from locally. There are several jobs I could do with doing in the town......I need to screw up the courage. At least the library an is coming back, starts next Monday.

Its friday so fish and chips with raspberry jelly for dessert for supper.

No its not

Its raining........

Yesterday we walked round to the little chapel for the coffee morning, the sun was out so it was pleasant sitting in the garden at the back of the chapel. Social distancing was in order, there were 13 of us eventually, so good to see people and chat.

After lunch I took the car to the Harby garage to get the new sensor fitted, when I got back I went over to see my neighbour, she is feeling very isolated and afraid to go out. I go over as often as I can, but I think she is getting closer to wanting a smaller place. We will miss her when she does go.

No gardening today as its raining, I went down and took the scripts into the surgery, and got DB some more cough stuff.

Chicken pasta and garlic bread for supper, I will make a fruit jelly for dessert.

Summers back!!

or is it? Yesterday was a bright sunny day and it looks like today is going the same way.

Yesterday I went up to the next village to the PO. I also nipped in the garage there with the car as our garage was not answering the phone. I discovered the reason, the garage has been shut permanently. The chaps at the PO garage looked at the car, it is one of the sensors that needs replacing, so I have to take it in today to get it sorted.  We will miss part of the coffee morning as I have to take it in at 10 am and wait for it.

No gardening for DB today......he is having a rest day.

Smoked haddock with a poached egg for supper tonight, need to sort out something for dessert. might do a jelly.

Bank holiday gone

We are now into Tuesday, tried the garage, still no answer so will have to brave the  car up to Harby and see what they have to say. Also need to get DB some cash.  

Load of coloured laundry in the machine including DB's boiler suit, he had left it in the shed, was a bit smelly. Its now out on the line.

The sun is blasting away and its fairly warm, must have been cold overnight the heating came on, the rads were just warm when I got up.

DB is going out to the garden shortly to do his 15 minutes, he has stopped doing his list of jobs each night, so he just does a bit and then comes in.

Quiche and salad for supper, might do a jacket spud, will see.....I have some peaches for dessert.

This little charmers first day at pre-school.
