Morning

For those who like a second breakfast I have Bagels topped with garlic and herb cheese going spare.

I went through my herb and spice containers yesterday it looks like I need to stock up on a few, I even found a couple of duplicates not sure how that happened.

Fingers crossed for you Carrie

Good Morning All it was still dark at 8 this morning so I stayed in bed reading until 9.30. It's still very dull now. Yes please to the bagel Bren. Have a good day

Good morning.

Another awful night's sleep. I've only managed around 5 hours altogether and that has been in bits and bats.

The weather forecast for today is cloud an rain. In fact that is the forecast for the week. No snow or sunshine.

I think I'm in need of my daily dose of caffeine now. Time to head for the kitchen.

Good morning all dull and dark and raining here, however it's to pass over.
We will take a trip to the library this morning and pick-up some groceries on the way home.
I think it will be a day to do another bit of my jigsaw, really not getting anywhere with it.
Enjoy the day all and remember we are moving towards spring.

[Containergardener]

Fingers crossed Carrie.

That's the reason I think we need one Nicos because we always went to garden centres as did she and my dad, infact all my life garden centres or tea/coffee and cake has been involved even from a child taking my gran anywhere....always tea/cake or chips butties by the sea /lakes/anywhere 🤣
Up until this last year I've not really known mum go anywhere without a coffee shop getting involved somewhere. It's in the genes I think, lancashire and pots of tea constantly.

MH we have 2 big centres but they're first come first served, I wouldn't want to get there and there not be one available.

Crumpets are hot...come and get them

A bit warmer today 6 degrees positively tropical, other half has a nasty cough and cold, so I was given permission to do some shopping(normally way above my pay grade apparently and I don't know how to pack bags either it seems). Light breeze and light rain the forecast for days ahead, but we need the rain after that summer we had.

[Containergardener]

Morning MH- on its way

[Florence Fennel]

Good Morning All FEB on the go here so no thanks CG. Very foggy here and raining. Have a lovely Sunday

[Snoop Puss]

Morning all.

George Michael on the CD this morning. A little bit of dancing. Well swaying with waving arms if I'm honest. But no-one's watching, so who cares. Except the smiles, who had a good giggle before setting off on their rounds.

Work to finish and some domestics to do. Also started a loaf of sourdough yesterday. My first loaf in months and months. I got a free sample of a starter with a purchase I made. A bit surprised how vigorous it is, even in our chilly conditions. Anyway, there's a blessing to count even though it's been so long since I made a loaf that I'm not certain how to pre-shape it given that it's got to go in a very long clay mould (first time I've used it). If the loaf is not a success, it'll clearly be my fault, as the starter is very active, it's a new bag of flour and the dough feels lovely.

Fingers crossed you get good news this week, Carrie. Cyber hugs to anyone feeling they might like one.

Have a great day, everyone.

Good morning,

Not sure what the weather is like this morning I have not opened my curtains yet. I am just having a lazy morning in bed with a brew and preparing myself for later. I am going staying over at my sister's house tonight as my 4 year old nephew wants a sleep over with his Auntie Carrie and then want's me to take him to school tomorrow. I will prob end up in bed same time as him when it's his bedtime as the little fella tires me out lol.

Have a lovely day

Morning

Wet and foggy here this morning as well Flo

CG I did have an egg and mushroom bagel a couple of hours ago so a second breakfast of porridge, fruit and yoghurt would go down well just now thanks.

Enjoy your sleepover Carrie
