Welcome back Shiney

 

Hi Shiney, great to see you back and I am pleased you enjoyed your holiday apart from that poor lady having the nasty accident.
I hope poor Oscar picks up soon and the tablets are helping him.
Say hello to Mrs. Shiney too

 

Morning everyone,

Its supposed to rain here later, and i sure hope that it does.

Welcome back Shiney.

 

Good Morning everyone

Just popping on to make sure you are all ok and to let you know that we are having a brilliant time up here at Keswick in the Lake District:gnthb:

We were hoping to climb to the top of Cat Bells last Sunday{our wedding Anniversary} because Mr Kandy always wanted to do it but 50ft from the top at the really horrible rugged bit I got height fright and was glued to the rock so after sitting for a few minutes until I was able top move we had to make our way down with me clinging to the rucksack that Mr K had on his back.:(Anyway,we made it safely to the bottom although we saw and heard an ambulance so there must have been either an accident on the road or someone had slipped off the mountain at some point.We saw families taking young four year ols up there,plus there was a couple with what looked like a new born baby strapped to the mans chest.I only hope he didn't stumble and fall onto his chest...eeek.

On Thursday we walked round the Newlands Valley which was nice but hot and yesterday we drove to Threlkeld and then walked along the old railway track towards Keswick which was a 6 1/2 miler round trip.I have a blister on one of my toes that keeps playing me up so I have to see to it every night:(

Today we are going up to Coniston for the day and tomorrow depending how we feel we should be going to the Borrowdale Show?{can't remember what it is called but there should be cows and sheep etc there}Last yera it was cancelled due to being flooded out:(

Woo,hope you enjoyed your early morning walk and Shiney hope you and Mrs Shiney had a great holiday and sorry to hear that Oscar has Laryngitits{sp}I seem to remember he had that last year sometimeYou can have some of our Horseradish if you want we have loads we can't get rid of on the allotment.:p

Peri,hope you are well and hope you have a great weekend with your OH.We are feeding the birds every day and earlier in the week had a Sparrowhawk fly past the caravan and land on the hedge but by the time we had got the cameras it had gone.I am also feeding two baby bunnies that come hopping along to eat the bird seed:DWe have seen loads of Buzzards and a couple of young foals when we were walking to Castle Rigg stone circle the other day

Hope you all have a great weekend and Welcome back Rosa when you get back from your Holiday:luv: Take Care everyone:luv:

 

Good morning everybody - sounds like everybody has been busy and enjoying their breaks - well done Know what you mean about climbing Kandy - I remember climbing Ayres Rock one year with my OH - we were about 23 and 18 yrs old - we met up with a retired couple half way up and got chatting. It was a steaming hot day - OH and the wife of the other couple got a little ahead of us, and the husband of the other couple happened to mention that he had ice cold beer down in his truck. Well, we ventured back down and enjoyed a cold brewskie while waiting on the other two to come back and join us - it was just way too hot to be doing such a walk that day (and I'll stick to that statement!)

Back to work for me the past couple of weeks, a new products conference up at head office this last week. Always nice to have a change of scenery, catch up with colleagues, great meals out etc. Had a baseball game which was great - nice to know that at 45 yrs old I can still make a great catch, and still hit the ball out to the outfield AND run the bases without too much bother! I do get quite competitive playing sports, and even against the young men in their 20's who make up the most of our creative department! Yes, thighs were sore the following morning, but well worth it
Today is move my office day - out of the main house and down into the converted garage - not good having 'work' presence around me 24 hours a day - too easy to get doing something when I should be focused on relaxing.

What's everybody else up to this fine but coolish Sunday?

 

Good morning everyone,

We are finally going to get some rain here :yho::yho:

I had a busy weekend, we went on Saturday down to see Kait at College:thumb:, so that took up 6 hours of driving there and back, and took them all out shopping, came back to the house and Brad had to fix the toilet, it kept on running, so that was done, and then took 6 teenagers out for lunch, and then drove home.:thumb::thumb:

Yesturday i worked for a few hours in the gardens and took out the rest of my tomato plants , we ended up with frost Friday and Saturday night:dh: and that did them in, now i just have peppers in, thats it.

Also we cleaned the furnace and replaced the filter, its been going down to 2 degrees here at night and its cold first thing in the morning, so the furnace is all ready to go, put away the AC and cleaned the shed.

Today is laundry, have the beds stripped, and floors mopped. :thumb::thumb::thumb:
