Hey everyone

So you must have all heard of the expression ‘four seasons in 1 day?’ We had it today with four seasons in a morning. It started with heavy rain, sunshine and cold weather, then it turned to heavy rains and winds and sunshine. Today the weather has been a real surprise, but after the hot Summer we have had I guess we should be thankful. It won’t be long till we reach Winter, about 3 weeks now.

Tomorrow the day is full of sunshine, or so they tell us. Let’s see what happens in the morning.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

So we have a road nearby that has a lake on one side and a reservoir on the other. We have a large number of geese and swans who live by the lake and during the day they cross the road to the other side.

I don’t know how many times they choose to cross this road, but there is a sign up to warn drivers. It is great to watch them all gather on one side and the leader, which is usually a swan looks around be it starts to walk the crowd across. One by one they follow the leader and I was waiting along with a number of other vehicles. The swan stood in front of the car coming on the opposite side as it waited patiently.

We sat there for a couple of minutes and the driver decided to start creeping forward. The swan stuck his head up and looked at the driver and started flapping his wings as if he was trying to tell him off. The swan squawked and across came the remainder.

It is a lovely sight to see and even lovelier when there are babies amongst them because both the swan and also a goose will stand guard, if you like to make sure every bird crossed the road safely.

Happy days.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

So I am trying to write some poems and I thought what better way to share one of them with you.

Modern technology is a wonderful thing

Mobile phones are like some peoples bling

Covered with diamonds and some even gold

They are a sight for most to behold

You can do on them, an everyday task

Me, I get stuck and I have to ask

So many apps that I just don’t use

I wish there was a way for me to reduce

Texting, calling and doing your work

Sometimes I feel a bit of a berk

Carrying a small office in your hand

Processing each and every command

Gone are the days when phones were just that

And lasted some time before they went flat

Now they are more complicated and I can probably say

That some can cost more than your pay 

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Where have some of our manners gone? The please and the thank yous are missing these days.

Just an observation here really. Today I was out and about and as always if I can I will let people cross the road or let vehicles into my line of traffic. or hold a door open for people. Sometimes people will acknowledge you but it seems to be that people don’t say ‘thank you’, it maybe they are in thought or maybe they just don’t do it.

It is sad really, but I guess each to their own. It is always nice to hear though when I do hear it.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Its Sunday today, hubby and I took a drive out and about as he is looking for a second hand van for work. We drove past a couple of places that said on their website they were open but sadly were not. Looked at a couple of vans that were okay.

Whilst we were driving I had a call that I couldn’t answer but texted when we had stopped for a coffee. We had a visitor that came over and we were out. Isn’t that just the way.

I am sad to miss our visitors and the fact that they have taken the time out of their day to drive over and to call in, but sad they didn’t call or text before heading over. Sorry guys but the weather was to nice to be stuck indoors.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

So for a while now I have been knitting baby outfits for our wee premature babies and dropping them off at the Neonatal Unit local to us.

They sent me a pattern to knit some little octopus, which I loved knitting. Unfortunately for the safety of the prem babies they needed to go through a checking process and the pattern they sent me was now for crocheted ones. I am not a person who can crochet but my mum in law in me a knitted pattern for these little octopus using cotton knitting wool.

I have started my first one and knitting with this wool is a little strange to say the least, but am halfway through one. Just hope it looks okay when I have finished.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

So it’s hump day today. I understand that it is called that because it is the middle of the week, please let me know if this is incorrect. It is such a strange title for a middle of the week day.

Had to have a repair done to my car windscreen, A chip was noticed at the weekend when it was washed. I have to say I never heard a stone hit the windscreen, but the repair guy was really good and they managed to fit it in and was done on the spot. Forty minutes later and I was back on my way.

Today has gone really quickly and now time came to sit down and write this blog.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

I love trying new recipes for meals to eat and also looking in the fridge, freezer and the cupboards and, if you like, just throwing some ingredients together in a pan. Most of the time they are tasty. It is surprising what foods actually go together well.

My tins of tuna, mushrooms, onions and peas with rice tastes so good, it is almost like a kedgeree but with no eggs, not much of a fan of hard boiled eggs.

I have only made one smoothie that didn’t taste so good. You know the green coloured juices/smoothies? I made one up for my lunch last week and I thought I would put s little bit of spinach in it, as it is really good for you. I do really love spinach raw, in salads and in stir fries, but not in a smoothie.

Have a great day and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Had weeding on my list of things to achieve over the weekend.

Saturday was sunny but the wind was a little on the chilly side. We got back home around 2.30pm and decided that we would weed early on Sunday morning as we do sometimes.

Through that evening and over night it rained. Weeding could not be done as was decided. Maybe the afternoon would be dry and we could weed and cut the grass then. Well let’s just say grass is still growing and the weeds look green and lush. Maybe next weekend. Will just have to wait and see, I think.

Me thinks we should have done in on Saturday when the weather was on our side.

Have a great day and let the sun shine 🙂

Hey everyone

Today was a visit to a local shopping mall. Been extended but seems a lot of space with not much in it. Vey few shops, but very wide aisles, maybe they expect a rush over Christmas. There is a lot of floor space not being used.

That aside, we chose to go to this particular mall because it has a fantastic coffee shop. The muffins they make are so tasty. The mocha’s are just as we like them, but since the extension to the mall it has been closed, so no mocha or muffin today. Hopefully they aim to be open next month. I hope so because it is such a quiet and homely atmosphere.

Have a great day everyone and let the sun shine 🙂
