Topbird welcome back from your hols. It sounds like you have plenty to do. My only bedding plant hasn’t survived despite compost, watering etc., and It wilted quite quickly. I’m getting together the bed clothes for washing and have remade the bed much to Alfie’s dismay and approval. Enjoying a cuppa at the moment.
The cake is OK, I cut off the burnt top. I've painted about half of the bedroom ceiling. It has slopes as it's under the eaves and it's pine panelled. Looks much better white.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Good afternoon everyone. I have had a busy gardening time and have really enjoyed the day. I feel nicely tired now. Lily did come out at one stage, took a look and then disappeared back inside.
Welcome back T'Bird. Its good to hear that you enjoyed your holiday and get those tax returns done soon so you can concentrate on the gardening
Chive, how did the carpet hunt go? I could do with a new one in my front room but the thought of having to shift furniture gives me the shudders!
Glad to hear that your headache finally went Hazel.
Busy-Lizzie, I think you are very brave attempting to bake your cake in the wood burning oven. At least you know now that maybe electricity is the better option.
I do hope that there is another series of Line of Duty too. Carmichael!!! Negating everything that Ted Hastings commented on - far to quick to dismiss the suggestions. Its a measure of the skill of that actress that she made me REALLY HATE her character. Didn't like her when she appeared in Series 5 so I was dismayed when she popped up again in Series 6. There are a few unfinished threads that could lead to another series so Jed, if you are looking in, get on with it please. From another angle I had a very uncharitable feeling of joy when that Ryan got his comeuppance. It begs the question how he ever managed to get into the police force though (did I miss that bit?) and once he was recognised for who he was how is it he wasn't bounced out of the force immediately? A wonderful immersive experience that kept me on the edge of my seat.
Cacoethes: An irresistible urge to do something inadvisable
I couldn't stand Carmichael either @Ladybird4 i think it was Buckells that got Ryan in the police force. He went for an interview in series 5, you saw him in the passing out parade at the end of the last episode. It just can't end with it being Buckells 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ we need another series 🤞🤞
Evening All, Glad you had a nice time away Topbird and good weather, hope you have the opportunity to get into the garden soon, Bluebells Thank you yes I am feeling better in myself. Sorry to hear you’ve lost your bedding plant, I think a lot has suffered from this erratic weather we’ve had,
Busy-Lizzie The banana cake sounds very good, one of my many favourites 😋, Hazel Sorry I meant to say before we have one more week until the Half-term break. I’ve made a conscious effort to eat more healthily, I’ll let you know if I notice any extra energy 😅 not last night I was asleep on the sofa by 8.00pm 😴
LB The carpet hunt went well thank you, we narrowed it down to 3 all very similar shades and bought a sample of each home to see how they look in the room. Pleased that we did, as it was surprising how different they looked and after moving them around we have made our decision. I’ll go back to the shop next week and make the arrangements.
Highlight of the day, discovering flowers on the lemon tree 🥳
Osbourne was the chap trying to disband AC-12 and making TV appearances suggesting that there were no "bent coppers". I reckon he's the real H. Buckells is the fall guy. Carmichael is just a smug bugger Hopefully, all the main protaganists will be ready, willing and available for another series. That would be the main stumbling block.
Chive it’s good you’ve brought carpet samples home. The lighting can be very different from in the store. You must have been tired nodding off at 8pm. Lily your oh may have worked it out or there could indeed be a new character or left in the dark. Busy enjoy your banana cake after your endeavours. LB have a rest, put your feet up and relax after your hard work. Goodnight everyone.
@Songbird-1 Hazel yes me too, love the smell of new carpet and to have a feel. You’re right about the thorns they are like needles, Bluebells I’ve got a very comfy seat 😊😴 hope you sleep well tonight Goodnight, Signing off now too, have a nice evening everyone.
