Best Of

Glad you are enjoying your break Ttda in Wales. Your family roast sounds good Kj.

Pick up our flu jab vials last Saturday from the Pharmacie but they do not do the jabs so this morning up early and to our Surgery and done by the local nurse she was very pleasant and the room had been decorated for xmas very pretty and said that 3 nurses including her came in on Sunday to decorate the room, would imagine that the children going in will like it so much to look at.

More rain forecast for later today think we will end up with webbed feet never seen so much rain and a lot of flooding in some areas we are ok as a bit higher out of the village but there is water in the lower fields but not on the roads thankfully also a lot of fog about, looks better towards the weekend drier and cooler.

Inside chores at present the ground outside very soggy to do anything.

We have had a good weekend, even though the weather was rubbish.

On  Saturday DD and I went to a charity fund raising Christmas Fair at the school she used to go to, which is right next to where she lives now.  That is 3  craft fairs we have done recently, I think I made about £500 in total over all 3, a so the  tax man will not be interested.   Time now to get life back to normal and get on with more mundane things.

We have an awning to repair, if possible, and curtains to make for little Nathan's bedroom, plus it is not long till Christmas.   OH has ordered some stuff, the rest will be up to DD and DS to organise.

We had a delicious meal at DD's yesterday for OH's upcoming birthday.  DS and family came up from Ayrshire.   We had had a beef joint in the freezer since last  Christmas, so OH gave it to DD  and requested they cook it in their slow cooker, and add yorkshire puds, roast potatoes etc etc.

We had frozen roasties done in the air fryer, home made yorkies, honey glazed carrots, green beans, and tender stem broccoli ......all well received.....followed by home made chocolate orange ice cream and a home made  Black Forest Gateau.   

 Back to " auld clathes and porridge" today!

Another grand day by the looks of it, tda, you have certainly picked the right area for both historic sites and fine weather. Hope the rest of your stay continues in a similar vein.

So sorry to hear that your brother is having more problems OP. It certainly was fortunate that you visited him and that the medical assistance was soon on hand. Hope that he is soon on the road to recovery.

Millie, fingers crossed that all goes well with your husband's operation next week and that it fixes his back problem.

Thankfully the weather held for most of the day so we got away and set up dry, although we did run through some rain from Lancaster until we turned off the M6 on the way down. Managed to fit in 4 dry walks at home and here, but have just come back from another short wet walk. All seemed fine with the van until we tried to microwave some rice for dinner but unfortunately it would not cook the rice, although there is power to the unit and the clock/ timer is working. I will have to contact the dealer tomorrow to see what they have to say. Hopefully it is still under warranty.
