Off to bed in a min but just popped in before I turn in. I had 'that' conversation with OH this evening - the one about aged parents and Christmas and do we invite them here or go to theirs. MIL gets nervous of FIL driving in the dark (for no good reason, he's perfectly capable) so if they come over they have to stay, even though they only live 45 mins away. My mum doesn't drive so we would have to go and get her if she was coming to ours for Xmas - she's also 45 mins away but the opposite direction. We have decided we will have to call them to discuss. This could take some organising.
If I ask Forkers who their favourite Muppet is what will you all say?
Dani and Vincent are my favourite muppets.
Been out to feed the birds. More wet wet wet. I put down some stepping stones to save some of the lawn a couple of weeks ago. It's a good job I did. Won't be doing anything outside today. At least it's mild.
Went to history society last night. A couple of people were venturing into family history research. I shall spend this morning seeing if I can find anything for them on Ancestry.
Tablet taken- ugh- & timer set to tell me when 'safe' to start proper food & drink!
il pleut! This is where my memory of any language has disparu (?) was thinking how to write about going present shopping, but got well & truely stuck!
Daughter up too & has completely confused me as is working a late duty, not a daytime one, so I did wonder why she hadnt left. I have actually made a daily note on the kitchen calendar of her duty rotas so I will, hopefully, have a chance to know whether cooking for 1,2 or 3, & when to deadlock the front door at night or not!
Listening to the heavy rain out there, I doubt shall try 'cutting back' later if it dries up, unless wearing a wet suit!
Morning all . It's HORRIBLE here Very dark and tiddling down - had to leave the lights on. Debating whether to take coffee back to bed but probally won't . Once I'm up - I'm up.
Hope the problem with your boiler is only a small one Pam. Strange. That was the exact same senario as my daughter. Washing machine and then boiler. The problem with hers was some sort of valve, I think.
She picks up her keys to the bungalow at the end of the week which is handy as she can start taking some of the smaller items to her new house before the move. Daniel is all excited and we think he'll settle well. The good news is there's an autistic school near to where she'll be living so she has an appointment made. Not long now - she has to vacate on the 10th Dec but up to now things are running smoothly with the sale of the house.Hope you get your brekkie soon, Jo and good luck with your research Georg
Il pleut ici aussi. Une cadeau is a present - about as much as I remember. Wish I'd learned Spanish rather than French though.
Jean, I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible with the move. A good friend of mine is moving shortly but only from one side of the village to the other. (Mrs A, for those of you who might remember that saga - now no longer with Mr A, hence the move). I've offered to help!
I'm going to become a great-aunt in the very near future! This means that Grandad will become a great-great Grandad (and my brother will become a grandad - not sure he's ready for pipe and slippers yet!)
Not planning on digging today - even if the rain stops in time it will be too soggy. It will be a trip to the supermarket at lunchtime.
I remember the talk over Christmas, the politics, the running about..................................
Had forgotten about Mr & Mrs A and we haven't had an update on Mr& Mrs PP recently
It has stopped raining and brightening up nicely now-will send it over when I have finished with it
Just had a call from India-about what washing machine did I use-told him Hoover and we have had it 500 years-I don't think they understand us-told him to go away-not using any foreign words-well a bit of French
Today we were supposed to go up to Cannock Chase. as we got in car a geat long list of road closures because of flooding including the main road, the only road that gets us to the motorway.
So we squashed onwards to give it a go. When we hit the 3rd complete flood over a road, deep the sort you're not sure if the car will drive through. we phoned our appointment and cancelled. Then we heard motorway was blocked - crash so here we are nice and snug and warm, drinking tea and relieved we are not out there.
As meeting was important we will have to do it another day!!
I guess Severn will br over the banks soon if not already. Didn't get far enough along to see
