Chitchat thread #24

Morning all.

Quite breezy here and we're a long way from the path of the storm. Hope you're all doing OK. Surprisingly warm last night. No frost risk according to the forecasts for the next two weeks. Mind you, I'm not sure how reliable that information is. They're also forecasting rain next week, and they've not been very trustworthy in that respect in recent weeks.

We've got some packet soups in stock. Dreadful, though. So salty. But handy to have for emergencies. Another thing I really like is a small amount of miso in hot water. So savoury it feels like a proper soup.

I think the smiles set off late today, Nicos, because they got a bit entranced by Missy. I was up early and she was in and out like a mad thing. The first time she's grasped the cat habit of the dawn hunt. No chance of her catching anything, especially as she's very visible and was only chasing leaves and twigs, but very funny to observe. She's currently upstairs, making a right racket, chasing a cork around the wooden floor.

Right, better shake both legs, not just one, as today is going to be very busy.

Have a great day, everyone.

Mornin n’alln’all

Good grief!…it’s not raining!

Not quite sure what today will bring but I’ve no doubt I’ll find lots to do
I do seem to have a lot of windfall apples needing freezing down at some point though.

Ready made soup?…well, I always buy a few cuppa soups for the camper as emergency stock as they take up less space than a tin and require no pans for heating up. Very handy in certain situations.

Jay…that’s one outing I’d love to do…how fantastic!
GF….how is Mr GF this morning?…that must have been worrying x

Time for a brew methinks…plenty to share….
Help yourselves, and enjoy your day as best you can. I’ve not seen the smiles yet- have they set off?

Evening, its still raining here I don't think its stopped all day.

There's nothing wrong with buying tin soup we have a couple in the cupboard that we didn't get eaten on our last camping trip. They're handy to have on standby.

Hahaha girls,i did not think i was the only one,in my younger days it did not happen,i was on top of everything,but these days are so different,and thats why i HAD to sort it,as i was looking for something important and thought,oh get on with it only to find it somewhere else later on,just it eh,when it's all put in it's place away,i will have my work room back in the zone for when i sew next,mmmmm i can smell my soup nice,have a good evening all lets hope for a better night ladies

I've got quite a few heaps of assorted stuff. Even getting them separated into piles of stuff that's all the same would be a major advance. Interestingly, though, if I really need something, I know which pile to look in, which Mr Snoop finds very annoying.

ORGANISED CHAOS........Obviously! I'm an expert!

[Snoop Puss]

Lovely part of the country, Jay. One of my favourite walks, done countless times, is from Craster to Dunstanburgh Castle and back. Then kippers for tea!

Do you want to come and sort out my paperwork, LD? I've got quite a few heaps of assorted stuff. Even getting them separated into piles of stuff that's all the same would be a major advance. Interestingly, though, if I really need something, I know which pile to look in, which Mr Snoop finds very annoying.

Evenin n’alln’all

Hope Mr GF is feeling better this evening?
Hope you have a better night tonight lottie xx

I was thinking about being grateful for what we have so gave my OH a special cuddle as he’s not feeling very well after his vaccination this morning
Yeh…I’m fine thanks incase anyone was wondering!!!!
Quiet day planned for tomorrow for sure.

That horrendous rain and wind we were expecting didn’t really arrive.
Yep - we had high winds last night, and heavy rain on and off all day but nothing worrying. Quite relieved tbh when we see the pictures of the hurricane hitting Florida…

Afternoon all. Just back
from a visit to Lindesfarne, Bamburgh Castle
and Alnwick. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Hope mr GF is on the mend. My son got his Covid/flu vaccine on Monday and it’s absolutely floored him. At
least that’s what he blaming it on. Mine in a couple of weeks so I'm hoping I won’t be as bad!
Enjoy the rest of your day folks. x

[Florence Fennel]

Hope Mr GF feels better soon.

[Florence Fennel]

Much healthier than mine. (Red wine and chocolate.)

Oh GF, it's not my only guilty pleasure, but maybe the only one I'm willing to confess

[greenishfing]

For a guilty pleasure, Flo, it's very innocent!

Much healthier than mine. (Red wine and chocolate.)

[greenishfing]

Good afternoon.

Not a very good morning. Mr GF was really not well when he awoke. It would have been impossible to get him to the surgery so I rang and for maybe the third time ever asked for and got a home visit. He now, already, seems a lot better than he was.

I was going to do a grory hop today but I've put it off now until tomorrow.

[Nicos]

Oh, forgot to mention, the nurse said that the Prevnar20 is supposed to be a one off for older people but to check with our GP

Oh and Rary…she probably suggested that seeing as we are so young

[Nicos]

OH has just decided to make soup!
Must be your telepathic waves…

Guinea fowl stock, courgette, onion and carrot.

I guess near enough all the stock we make from chicken etc bones ends up as soup….occasionally in risotto.
