        Rise and shine everyone, how are you all today?

        Compared with the lovely weather that we've been spoilt with over the last few days It's looking like a grey/ dull old day here today.:sad:

        Not sure what today will bring...to be honest ,as with most I suspect, every day is pretty much the same at the moment. Always start it with ( normally) an hour long video call natter with my eldest sister. She makes a coffee and so do I ( well hubs does ;)) and ..well the hour flies by!:heehee:

        Then a tidy round and depending what day it is a specific room/s are cleaned thoroughly....I pace myself now as I don't do the whole house in one session.

        I am now doing regular 5 mins sessions of( will gradually increase) specific exercises for my leg/ knee throughout the day. 2 types this week + short 5mins gentle peddling on the static bike too.

        Then on good days it's out in the garden....if not good then the jigsaw is still not completed...boring bit is now left of grey murky waters...talk about 50 shades of grey, this puzzle has a 100 at least!:heehee:

        I have adult colouring books and have a box each of 'posh' pens and pencils only used for this purpose.

        I also do daily word puzzles , mahjong challenges and suduko too.

        And of course summer border planning and seed sowing are a big part of my day now too.:yahoo:

        Inbetween all this and both greatly enjoyed ( well I say that now but we have a mk2 to attempt) and appreciated are Shiney's quizzes.......certainly keeps the brain turning over!!. As I said I now have the new one to ponder over at some point today:yes:.
        So that is how my days are recently playing out. Not as fulfilling as getting out and meeting up with friends/ family, going on NT days out or cinema visits..which I do love, but nevertheless enjoyable and a productive way to pass the time .

        One good thing about lockdown was online grocery shopping :yahoo::hapydancsmil::yes:....hubs finally succumbed to having it,... but..:sad:.. now the 3 wks have passed since his jab he says he'll go back into town to do it this week. I really detest food shopping but at least for now I have the excuse of not yet having received the jab...to get me off going!:heehee: Honestly I haven't bribed the NHS to forget me.......;)

        Well, whatever you're up to today...enjoy it.:spinning:

            Aloha everyone,

            Although we have a fortnightly grocery delivery I have given up ordering fresh fruit, veg and meat from them. It never seems to be good enough quality or size. So this morning I drove into town for my usual 6 a.m. supermarket trip. I got loads of lovely fresh veggies (carrots, turnip, onions, courgettes, long sweet peppers - they roast beautifully - cauli, broccoli, savoy cabbage, ginger, green beans, fennel, coriander etc.), salad stuff and some fruit. The lady at the checkout said "you eat healthily". I said to her "that's why I'm still able to get around at 107" :). She just stared at me not knowing whether to call me a liar :roflol:

            Mrs Shiney has given me permission to do more gardening as my ankle isn't so inflamed and swollen. :blue thumb:

            Come on all of you, you need to have a go at the new quiz. Shiney's Quiz Mk 2

            Some are quite easy and some are stinkers. :heehee: You can have as many guesses as you like (by PM) and I may give some clues if I can think of any. Plenty of time to work on them and you are allowed to Google but you get less points if you do. It's an honesty scoring system and it's up to you to do the scoring.

            Try and encourage some of the others to have a go as it can occupy as little or as much of your time as you wish.

            I have plenty more ready for later.

            Keep well :biggrin:

            Aloha!

                  Good morning all. I get to pick up my new lenses in my last year's frames this morning. £294 just for the lenses. Diabolical. I think I should go to one of the high street opticians instead of staying with this family business that I have been with for over twenty years.

                  Hope you are all ok and coping in the situation. Hopefully things will gradually get back to some semblance of order. Have a good day, take it steady and above all stay safe and well.
                  God bless.:wub2:

                    Lovely morning here again but very cold.

                      Good morning Upsydaisy, thanks for the big hug the other day, just what I needed :)
                      It’s grey but dry here, I’m going to check on my sweet peas today, I’m hoping they’ve popped there heads up, also dropping my patio curtains off at my mums house as she said she would shorten them for us.

                      It’s been a far too busy week at work so I’m hoping to relax at some point this weekend as we have staff off ( holidays) all of March.

                      Have a lovely day all :spinning:

                            Aloha everyone,

                            I scraped the ice of the car early this morning as I needed to pop into the nearest small town for some things and the road was being closed at 7 a.m. for the rest of the day. Level crossing work :noidea:

                            I've done some pressure washing and am now waiting for my appointment with the in-house masseuse to sort out my back.

                            Keep well :biggrin:

                            Aloha!

                              Good day
                              As usual, @moyra you always put up a nice greeting for the day :blue thumb:. @Flumpy I am having spotty successes with my sweat pea sowings. Some are up, way up and others haven't cracked :scratch: @shiney I hope Mrs. S. gets your back in good working order.

                              It is grey here today but I'm not complaining as we had several days of sunshine. Still pretty cold but not to worry as I have lots of chores inside to keep me busy.

                              Cheers all :coffee:
