What have you been doing today?

[dede]

Lol. Well just being honest

[Amy :-)]

I feel terrible right now

My mum just reminded me that it was nana and grandpa's 64th wedding anniversary today. With grandpa being in hospital, nana would have spent it alone.
But not only was it their anniversary, but it was 6 years ago today that they got a phone call saying that their youngest son had had a massive stroke and was on life support on Royal Perth Hospital.

I wish mum had reminded me earlier. I would have gone up and stayed with them

 l had a lovely  surprise in the mail today  as l had totally forgot about ordering it

my second bowl came today  and l was glad that the varoma part did not come with it as l have no where to store it (as  l was not shore if it came  as a package deal or not ) and was also glad that no stupid black spatula came with it too

Oh Amy, don't be too hard on yourself, we all forget things sometimes. I feel for you tho, it is not easy when you realise/find out something like that.   . I'm sure they won't hold it against you.  
How is your G'pa?

[Amy :-)]

Thanks Astarra
Mum just spoke to nana on the phone. She has told grandpa about his sister's brain tumour. Its hard to know how he feels about it because he doesn't really display his emotions, but I know it will be hard on him. One of his brothers died of the same thing
But on the positive side, he was very happy because a "nice lady" () took him for a walk up the hospital corridor and he said it made him feel good

Went to the gym today after taking a week off. My glutes are feeling quite sore now and I think the rest of me will be sore tomorrow. 

I wnet for a run with DD this afternoon. It was the first time that we have ever run together. It was fun.

Baked bread, tidied, cleaned, washed loads of bedding and towels (6 loads) as we finally have a dry day to hang washing out. About to start ironing again. Made a stew, moved the pony around on his bare grazing, after 3 hours in a better paddock.

On the cleaning front a good cleaner is worth their weigh in gold, well had a cleaner once and the house just got dirtier..... And we were paying her a lot per hour. She never moved the bins, emptied rubbish or did skirting boards. Not sure quite what happened. Anyway my work was cut to almost nothing so I was able truthfully to say, sorry I've got no work, so I cant afford help. And then set about cleaning up after her. Madness!
When I do a room I do it thoroughly. DH can be a clean freak so hardwork at times.

Have also tied a few things back in the garden today and put out more slug pellets. The slugs were obviously partying last week on the new plants and some things are now looking a bit sad!

Slugs and snails are the only things that's enjoying this rainy weather DJ. There are massive ones trailing through our garden and they seem to be able to crawl under our backdoor,although we don't know how Awful things make me shudder

[droverjess]

Agree. Hate the feel of them when picked up accidentally.... And me a farm girl! LOL.

I'm a bit squeamish and put on rubber gloss to pick them up or get DH to do it

[Cornish Cream]

Been into London today and have only been home an hour.
My  iPhone stopped working on the way home,kaput So I had to ask a fellow passenger if I could use his,as I always tell DH what time train I am on so he can pick me up from our local station.
Had a lovely time with DD and GS in London

[Frozzie]

Glad you had a great time cc.. Pity about the phone..

[droverjess]

Agree with frozzie.
All our phones stopped working last week when 02 went off network. It was a nightmare as trying to meet up with friends while away.

Show how utterly reliant we are on them now!

Will the Olympics affect your travelling CC?

I now can't do the demo on Monday as got to help family. Roads are even worse than usual I think.

I agree with you DJ we so rely on our phones.
Traveling wasn't too bad today.A recording of Boris Johnson kept blasting out over the tannoy telling us to plan our journey at these busy times   It will affect me as I use but the Jubilee Line and the DLR both lines are prime ways into Stratford The other problem will be using the roads if my DH comes to collect me in the car.With the new designated Olympic lanes it will cause chaos as you have only one lane to use at times.Fines if you are caught in the Olympic Lane £125 a pop
Sorry to hear you can't get to the demo,you must be disappointed.

[droverjess]

Well I have finally learnt to manage things better, but unexpectedly have to take some one to something on Monday so that was that. Hopefully we will hear about the demo?
Do you know anyone who is going?
