Morning everyone, colder here this morning too, everything outside is white. No news on the plumber yet, like PatE we don't really want to have to hang around endlessly waiting. New wardrobes will be built in situ next week so we will be camping in the spare room for another week at least.
Morning all Forkers, -2 at the moment with bright skies. As @Red maple I too should go out to walk a bit. I do go to aqua gym on wednesdays but it is so cold, I might not go this week. I have inherited a big wooden bird feeder which I started renovating.
Waiting for builders etc to turn up is very annoying. They do it here too. Not to mention the road works that have been going on for years.
Morning all, taking a while to catch up with you all. I seem to be having good days and bad days after the op but i guess that is only to be expected! The nurse took the staples out this morning and the physio says i need only to use one crutch indoors now. It's a bummer when trades people give you such a wide timeline, our plumber always comes on a different day to what was arranged. Take care everyone, I'm going for a potter 🙄
Grrr! They didn’t turn up. We waited here all day, but no show.
Hubbybrang their office at 5pm all ask what was happening. He was n hold for an hour and eventually, found out that they didn’t know why the team hadn’t arrived. 🤬
So annoying when tradespeople turn up. We are waiting on three for which we haven't even got a date fro yet - someone to fix our banging tap (we bought the replacement taps before Christmas), someone to fix our sticking back door, and someone to trim the hedges and tie the climbing rose into the wall higher up. The last is my SIL who I have said I will pay the going rate as I would rather have him do the work than someone else. The other two we bump into in town and they say they'll be round between jobs.
Right - need to get a wash on and back to it my funding bid...
Good afternoon, Well, I made up for my lethargy of the past week or so, by taking the long route to post a letter yesterday, and going to an RSBP reserve near us today to have a good walk round interspersed with going into the hides. Saw quite a variety of bird life. A very pleasant way to pass 3 or 4 hours. More exercise tomorrow with the Pilates class. Hope I can keep up the motivation 😁.
It’s so annoying @Pat Ewhen you wait in all day for someone to call who you are expecting and they fail to turn up, giving no back word.
Evening all, had rather an unexpected hectic start to the day, a friend rang (she's a volunteer hospital driver) and asked if she could come round for a coffee whilst waiting to collect the patient. We were still in bed having breakfast rather late so hastily ate that and got up. OH tore down for the morning paper while I frantically tidied the house but I then had to leave at 11 am because I'd already arranged to meet another friend for a drive out and coffee in a nearby town. I didn't want to postpone the meeting again. Lots of roadworks all the way, including right outside her house so I had a job to find somewhere to park. By that time, I didn't feel too good so she kindly drove. Went to M&Co who are closing down because I need a plain white shirt but none to be had. Enjoyed a really yummy blackberry and apple cake with my coffee whilst my friend had a plum crumble cake with hers.
By the time I got back home, I felt exhausted and breathless so had a snooze in the armchair. Dinner tonight is just going to be quick pork stir fry which shouldn't take long.

Typical Tory.
" if you use a food bank , you can't budget"
but claims over £185,000 in expenses in a year.
Typical Tory : do as I say, not as I do.

Right, cup of tea time now.
Pig in the trough Numero Uno.
I wonder if he did a single thing for his constituents whilst stuffing his bank with dosh
I went for a walk, cleaned upstairs, watched Escape to the Country and Merlin.
