Thursday Morning !!!

Good morning, today it started quite cloudy but is suppose to be brighter later on.

The men didn't arrive until late today but have commenced work on the conservatory again. The Plumber has arrived to sort out the connections for the washing machine and I have asked the men if they will be kind enough to put up the rails for the blinds once the conservatory is complete.

The porch leaks badly when it is raining and so I have asked them to have a look at that too once they have finished the other jobs.

I wish you an enjoyable day.

Wednesday Evening

What a beautiful day it has been today and hot too, I hope you have been able to enjoy it.

Today has been a really busy day, and I was pleased to get home as I was out nearly all day !

The conservatory now has a roof on it and the glass is in the windows, there is still quite a bit to do, it is beginning to look quite nice.

I feel really tired this evening so am relaxing and watching a bit of TV.

I wish you a good evening and restful night.

Tuesday afternoon

Good afternoon, I hope you are enjoying the sunshine, much better than yesterday.

I have been to Mums this morning to do her housework and get her shopping list etc. Of late she seems to get very breathless, so I called the doctor in to see her. He is going to send a nurse to see her to get some blood tests done etc.

The men are here working on the new conversatory its been quite noisy this afternoon, but hopefully they are making progress, at least the weather is holding up as yesterday they had to pack up at 3.30pm as it was raining so much.

I wish you a nice afternoon and evening.

Monday Afternoon

Good afternoon , I hope you all had a good weekend.

This morning the men arrived to take down the old conservatory, a messy and dangerous job as the roof has glass on it, but they have done it and taken all the rubbish away.

I had 24 birthday cards in all, every one was lovely and I had some lovely presents, a very lucky girl am I. I had a very nice day, I was invited to dinner by my daughter Karen and husband Nick and family and then I went on to visit my son Phil and his partner Lorraine and family, then finally on to see a friend and I managed to fit some gardening in as well !! I had a really lovely day.

At present I am going to do some ironing for Mum, so I wish you a lovely afternoon and evening.

Sunday Morning

Good morning, it is a lovely sunday morning the sun is shining and it doesn't look like there is much wind, so I am hoping to go out in the garden soon.

But first of all I have to take the carpet tiles up in the conservatory ready for the work tomorrow.

The very first thing I did this morning at about 6.30am! was to open my birthday cards I have 15 so far and know I have a few more to come !

I had a really lovely basket of flowers from my dear friends Sally and Jean - thank you so much, I have put the basket in front of the fire it looks lovely!!!

I wish you all a lovely Sunday enjoy it whatever you are doing.

Saturday Morning

Good morning its the weekend !!

I have been really busy this week and havn't been able to get on my blog.

The new conservatory was suppose to be started on Wednesday but because not all the materials had arrived it has now been put back but hopefully they will start it on Monday, all being well!!

I have Luke here with me, he has been doing his homework and has taken quite a few hours to do it but it is finished now. He has quite a stressful year at school and seemed a bit up tight at first but now he has completed his homework seems much more relaxed.

Tomorrow is a big day for me, it is my 65th Birthday, I can't really believe that I have reached this age . I'm not sure what I am doing yet.

Today I hope to do a bit more out in the garden, I might even prepare the soil and plant some tomatoes that I have grown from seeds, I am very proud of them. I wanted to get it all done before the men arrive on monday but am not sure if I will make that!

I wish you all a very nice relaxful weekend.

Wednesday Evening

Good evening, I hope you have had an enjoyable day in this lovely sunny weather.

I had to go to the dentist today, they said I need a filling so have had to make an appointment for next month. then I had to do a bit of shopping for Mum, I had a bit of trouble finding exactly what she wanted but managed to get it all in the end.

I wanted to get out in the garden but didn't manage it, I am hoping I will have more luck tomorrow.

I have Phil, Luke and Chloe coming to dinner tomorrow so will have to prepare the dinner before I go out in the garden because once I get out there I get carried away and forget the time !!!

I wish you a lovely evening I will be watching Hell's Kitchen!!!

Tuesday Evening

Its been another lovely sunny day, quite warm again.

I went to Mum's this morning to do her housework and then came home as Phil and Lorraine were coming round to help me put the conservatory furniture and other items in the garage as the men were suppose to be coming tomorrow to start on the new conservatory.

After they had left I made a start on mowing the back lawn, whilst doing it I had a phone call from the company saying that the roofing materials were not being delivered until Friday, so now they won't be starting until Monday next week!

Never mind I just hope they will be here on Monday to make a start.

My Tomatoe plants are doing well so tonight I am going to leave them outside to harden them off so I can put them in the ground fairly soon, I will put a photo on the opposite side for you to see !

I wish you a good evening .

Baby Ruby

This is baby Ruby. sitting on her Daddys lap. she is such a lovely baby. It was so nice to meet her, she is a very special little girl and loved by us all.

Monday Evening

Good evening I hope that you have had a good day. Today the weather has been beautiful it has been sunny all day and quite warm too.

I have had a very busy weekend. My sister Kay and Dave her husband and their youngest son John and his wife Holly with their new baby Ruby came to visit my Mum, (it was a surprise visit Mum had no idea they were coming) they were staying overnight in the guest rooms where Mum lives.

Mum was so surprised and delighted to meet baby Ruby, it has been a lovely time we have had together. We all went out to dinner on Sunday (not Mum as she doesn't go out anymore) and today we went out for a quick meal before they went back to Winchester.

I will post some photos of the visit.

I wish you a good evening and a peaceful nights sleep.

Friday Afternoon

Good afternoon, I hope you are enjoying your day.

I have Luke here, he has been doing his history project on my lap top so whilst he has been doing that I've been doing some ironing.

I still have the bedroom door to paint and then I can say I have finished the decorating in the bedroom, it is looking nice and clean and tidy.

Phil and Lorraine have just popped in to have at a look at the bedroom. They are decorating their lounge at the moment, a big job.

This morning my lady came to cut my hair, and I feel much tidier now. Before she came I popped out to pick up my tablets from the chemists, I usually have to do this on a monthly basis,I still have to pick up my contact lenses, I must do that next week.

It isn't very nice outside, infact it feels quite cold so I will not be going out anymore today.

I must make a start on the dinner, so I wish you a lovely evening.

Thursday Morning

Good Morning to all.

Last night we had thunder and lightening and then the rain poured. Today the gardens are nicely wet which I am grateful for as I have been so busy I haven't watered the lettuce seedling and the sweet peas. The weather forecast for today isn't very good but is suppose to be better at the weekend.

I have been very busy decorating and I have nearly finished !!!!! I will still be busy today doing the last finishing touches then comes the tidying up !!

Yesterday the company I have booked to build a new conservatory for me contacted me to let me know they will be coming next Wednesday, so I will have to get ready for that, its all go !!!!

I wish you all a lovely day and will return hopefully tonight.

Saturday Evening

Its been a really lovely sunny day, in fact a summers day.

I drove along the sea front and there were a lot of visitors enjoying the weather, the cars were lined up all along the front and children were carrying their buckets and spades
heading for the beach - a lovely sight !!

I have at last got my new bedroom curtains and duvet cover, they are cream with a slight pattern. I also got some wallpaper so I can now make a start redecorating the bedroom !!!

I wish you good night and trust you have a peaceful nights sleep.

Good Friday

Good morning, today is good Friday the day that Jesus was put on the cross and died for our sins, quite a solemn day but that is not the end of the story thank goodness for Easter Sunday !

I was always taught by my parents that today is the day that we don't eat meat but we should have fish so I have my Salmon for todays dinner. I am not quite sure why?

I wish you a Happy Easter, take care.

Thursday Evening

Good evening, I hope you have had a good day, it has been quite a nice sunny day here on the east coast.

Today I have been looking for new curtains and a duvet for my bedroom plus wallpaper. What a job. I still havn't made up my mind just can't seem to find exactly what I want so must keep looking. Its a bit exhausting!!!!

I got some runner beans in the Range this afternoon so I am going to sow them in pots tomorrow. The tomatoe plants that I sowed some weeks ago are coming along gradually, yesterday I sowed some more as I believe Karen's husband might want some and if I am successful I will offer them to some friends of mine. Last week I put the some lettuce seeds direct into the ground, no sign of anything yet!

Well I wish you all a Happy Easter enjoy and relax this special time.

Good Evening

Good evening, I hope you have had a good day.

I have been very busy doing jobs for Mum, by the end of the morning, after going here, there and everywhere I was exhausted!

I managed to finish clearing out the garage, I now have to take the rubbish up the tip, its a good job done.

Late this afternoon I went and did my weekly shopping, so I am now free to look at wallpaper for my bedroom.

I wish you a good evening.

Monday Morning

Well we have another lovely day, at this very moment it is glorious outside.

I have been baking again, I have made some special lemon cakes and also a lemon meringue pie for my friend Sally who cannot have ordinary sugar, I have to bake with splenda.

I am hoping to pop round to Sally and Jean (her Mum) with them, and get her to try one to see if it is alright, especially the lemon meringue pie! Sally told me that if they go out for a meal she so wants to order the lemon meringue pie so this is for you Sally!!!

Luke is still here, today he is hoping to do some school work on my computer, so I won't be on here for long.

I wish everyone a lovely day, enjoy the weather while it lasts. Take care.

Sunday Evening

Good evening, well its been a really lovely day I have managed to finish doing the front garden and it is now looking quite nice and tidy.

Luke has come to stay overnight and we have had a late dinner tonight as I didn't pick him up until about 5.30pm.

We are now having a quiet evening and I am relaxing after all that hard work.

I wish you a good evening and trust you will have a peaceful nights sleep.

Saturday Evening

Good evening, its been a nice afternoon and I have been able to do a bit more out in the garden, I have been in the front trying to tidy it up, I suppose I have done just over a third plenty more to do tomorrow!

This morning I was baking, I have made some chocolate chip cookies, lemon sponge cakes and a fatless victoria sandwich and a lemon meringue pie! They all came out really well I am pleased with them I will probably take them to the family tomorrow.

I am going to relax tonight and put my feet up and watch a bit of television !!

I wish you a lovely evening .

Good evening

Good evening, it has been a lovely afternoon, so I have managed to get out in the garden. I have mowed the lawns back and front and have finished clearing up and tidying the back garden, it is looking quite respectable now.

This morning I did all my housework throughout the bungalow, so that is looking quite smart too.

If it is nice tomorrow I hope to make a start on the front garden and I might even take a look at some plants. I have been trying to grow my tomatoe plants from seeds and have just transplanted them into new pots, I hope they will be alright, this is the first time I have tried to grow them from seed. I have also planted out some sweet peas in the garden and am just hoping we don't get anymore frosty mornings.

I am thinking about redecorating my bedroom - just thinking at the moment!!

I have some ironing to do now, so I wish you a lovely evening and weekend.

Good morning

Good morning, it is a lovely sunny day here on the East Coast. A nice day to get out in the garden and do a few jobs.

I am going to a funeral today, so I will make this a short blog.

I hope you have a lovely enjoyable day and make the most of this lovely weather. Take care.
