Today I shall be Mainly...

[Stanley]

I shall be trying to find out where Parcel Force have left my new side brick for the stove!

[Wendyf]

Off to Leeds today.

[Stanley]

A good neighbour delivered the parcel this morning. On reflection, my biggest problem is not hyearing someone at the back door when I'm in the front room. Have ordered a wireless door bell this morning!!

[Wendyf]

Where was Jack!

[Stanley]

A very good question and all I can say is that the courier must have been very quiet. Jack generally misses nothing!

[Stanley]

Keeping warm and watching for the post.... books on the way!

[Sue]

Today we shall be trying to warm our very cold house. A nice warm log fire will be the rule! Then a little shopping and a couple of visits to friends, French and English.

I have one last pumpkin here , so a little soup making perhaps. We had left two pumpkins in the store room but one is a puddle of disintegrated mush! That was a surprise, especially as it is so cold out there.

[Moh]

Spring cleaning my kitchen.

[Stanley]

Sue, Mary and I used to be the first in the watermill on Eigg each year in March (no midges!) and the first job was to fire up the big Jotul wood-burner and get it red hot. It took 36 hours to get the heat into the walls. You can't beat having and ex-firebeater with you for that job!
Watching for another book.....

[Wendyf]

I hope you are taking it easy over there Sue and not exhausting yourself doing the garden!
Colne library for me this morning. This afternoon I mean to start moving a large pile of stones from one place to another.....

[Sue]

Definitely taking it easy, no gardening until next week when the weather warms up a bit. I have been making a dress all day and this evening is wine tasting at a friends house. I am still not 100%', so not rushing around ?

[Stanley]

Keeping warm, looking after Jack and pursuing me Bible translation research.(Impressive huh?)

[Nolic]

Nice run up to Southern Lakes to earn a few pennies. Nolic

[Wendyf]

Doing my one day a month bookkeeping job...it helps keep the old brain active and pays for a bag of feed or two for the ponies!

[rossylass]

In the garden wrestling with the ivy, having a cuppa with next door neighbour, who is 98 & full of it. Writing, follwed by trip to pub with friend.

[Sue]

A trip to a fabric shop in Rennes. What a find, why can't we have shops like that. I needed a zipper foot for my machine. There should have been one with it, but there wasn't and I bought it too long ago to claim. The moral of the story is to check all parts are there when you buy a sewing machine, don't just check that it works!

[Moh]

Had a lovely run to Skpton yesterday - shopping today.

[Nolic]

What a lovely day its been. Wall to wall sunshine but becoming nippy now. Nolic

[Sue]

Wall to wall cloud here, has been since we arrived on Monday!

[Stanley]

Shopping day today.... Comrade, I hope you reflected as you drove up to the Lakes that you've paid for the privilege with all those years in a hard seam..... Mick's looking forward to working with you at Ribchester.

[Nolic]

Comrade, Mick will be a real assett there. Nolic

[Stanley]

Praise indeed, I've passed it on to him.....

[Wendyf]

In the Earby Heritage Room. Our next task is to index about 5000 photographs...looking forward to that!

[rossylass]

More gardening before the inevitable rain arrives, trying to make sourdough bread, shopping & whatever.

[Sue]

More cold and cloud today. Bob is continuing tiling the new shower room , and I am continuing sewing. Hope next week is warmer as we have a garden to tidy up and a lawn to cut before we return.
