Lucky you. I'm just getting various banks touting their current accounts.Neighbours have got a team of 'tree surgeons' in. They are very fond of their power tools. And their exceedingly noisy chipper
Eh up. Can't say morning as I got here too late.Weekly food shop all stowed away and wardrobe clear-out passed on to Sally Army.
Mattie the chicken is enjoying some sunshine on her field. Lovely to see!
Off out for tea with the WI.
Morning, I’m dealing with a slightly under par little lad. Think he’s going to have a cold - hope it’s not chickenpox. If it’s anything like yesterday’s delivery to school the pavements will be clean. I nearly had to drag him in he right direction because he wanted to ‘drive’ my car. I laughed the first day but getting him out of the seat yesterday was challenging. He’s too heavy now for me to fireman’s lift him. I have to use devious methods and I’ve run out of ideas.
Oh dear Alicia. Bathroom lightbulb went last night, and I’ve ran out of lightbulbs, so had to wash the litter trays using the torch on my phone last night, good job we have an extra bright streetlamp!!
Morning all ... oh, it's five to three. well afternoon then. I have spent most of the past two days doing this. Patty please delete if inappropriate: https://www.zazzle.co.uk/urban_art_ca...

I wish I'd have had a drink an before my last post, Will. I'd been outside on playground duty, trying to solve football disputes.Love it when the kids want me to decide if a foul occurred. I just say yes and let them get on with it.
I love the calendar, Mary!

It is infuriating to run out of lightbulbs. We are creatures of the light.
I'm gonna draw a line under the day and go to bed.Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday.
My brain is frizzled.
I got to sleep around 6 am and woke up soon after 3 pm! I know what you mean about your body being ready to sleep, Alicia.
Ah GL I got up before you went to bed! It's been a gorgeous day here today, no wind and blues skies. All the wee birdies reckon it's spring and were making a right racket.Haggis for dinner tonight - veggie as well as traditional sheepy bits - followed with a tincture and a toast to the Immortal Memory. Not that we'll do much reminiscing, mind, just the toasting :D

Melatonin worked a couple of night ago, but gave me a horrible bunch of weird dreams (no, not useful for fiction), and a slight sickness to my stomach the whole next day. I don't like the aftereffects. I had taken 0.5 mg (1/6 a 3 mg. tablet); may need to try a smaller dose.
Getting up every day and using the light therapy box in winter helps some, but it is erratic because my sleep is. Don't dare wake myself up to try to reset the clock - I lose the entire day if I don't let myself sleep once I get there.
Now, if the rest of the world would just adjust itself daily to MY schedule...
Yeah - why should we have to be the ones to adjust! That reminds me, I have to put in tomorrow's grocery order. I'll probably look for the 7 to 9 pm slot. To be on the safe side.

We had a bonny morning with only one shower about 10:30am but then fine until gone 2pm at which point it remembered it hadn't really rained on us for, oh, hours, and felt that we might miss it, so it obliged with a nice drop of rain!

I take some supplement that helps with seratonin/melatonin but my dreams have been weird on them! My neighbour has got a new supplement she wants to try, will do that on Sat, am exhausted and not been back at work 3 weeks yet. Mind you, yet again its 9pm before having tea so eating a bag of crisps, had a cereal bar at the hairdresser.
I think if life settles down a bit, I'll be fine, but the churning makes it hard to relax.
I've no problem falling asleep these days. Just wish I'd stay asleep.Good morning!
Thank goodness it's Friday.
Whereas I have the opposite problem: can't GET to sleep, but once I do, I seem to have the ability to get at least 6 hours.
Morning all, had another disturbed night sleep, got a hectic day then a leaving do after work, don't think I'll stay long
Good morning. Last night's Haggis, tatties and neeps were superb. Had to do a bit of research ... apparently neeps aren't turnips. They're swedes. Who knew?Everyone have a good one
Morning all. Finally Friday, though I've already loaded myself down with deadlines for the weekend.
I'd say thank heavens it is Friday, if it wasn't for the hectic coming weekend, with repairs to be done at kay's place and another viewing here.

don't go there Will, swedes and turnips are different depending on what part of the country you live it :-)

It's pissing down here. They're saying it's gonna snow tomorrow.Wasted on a Saturday!
We have blue sky!! Just had an e-mail from the shopping centre that gave us the donation last week, they have a new campaign this year and have offered us the first slot, so might have to do that with one of my days off.

I knew. Don't you hate a know-it-all?
Afternoon. Been busy. Shall be busy again later.
I knew too!Okay, you lot can have a few hours of the sunshine that's rightfully mine.
We're starting a pet food drive at school next week for the dog rescue place here.
Hopefully followed by a drive for one of the many orphanages.
glorious sunshine hereI also read it that Patti was planning a 'drive by' at one of the many local orphanages
I grew up in Aberdeen and never ever heard the term swede. Neeps were turnips and vice versa, and were indeed what you made lanterns from at Halloween. Usually gaining a vicious knife/scoop wound in the process.Another super day here. Amazing light

It was turnips and neeps, which to us were the same thing. I remember the turnip lanterns as well. Wee bit dangerous!
Grief, it's cold! I've had to go round the flat and turn all the heating to 'high'.
Apparently, it's going to hover around the freezing point for the next few days.
Fine with me. I've made sure we've got enough shopping in to do us the weekend, so I can cocoon.
I need a foul weather book.
A foul book about weather, or a book about foul weather?

That's Kath's forté.Having said that, I wanted to buy an over-the-road chicken to dismantle for the freezer last night, but they didn't have any ready.
Might put clothes on later and cross the street to get one.
Bless, Dave has made his way from the bed to the couch. That's him settled for the day...
Morning all, it is stupid o'clock in Switzerland (I think it is Patti who I stole "stupid o'clock" from - great saying) - It's 5.20am and I am starting the journey home. Still have to take a bus, two planes and a couple of taxis before I get home around 5.30pm tonight. Hopefully you have better plans for today.
Yes, safe journey, Kelly! I'm exhausted just thinking about it.I woke at 3:30. If I was sensible, I'd go back to bed now.
I've had a full morning already, though. Made a banana cake, pizza dough and pancakes.
Thawing a leg of lamb for tomorrow, too. Not that that takes any effort on my part.
Apparently, it's snowing up by school. Just drizzle down by us. It's always a few degrees warmer down here.
G'night, Patti. I'm trying to get to sleep - it's 1:23am here.Wish me luck.
Morning! Off out today with the local Natural History Society. I'm so well wrapped up I can hardly move!

McOther is from Stevenstone, the two I knew growing up came from Beath, as did McOther's mum. His Dad's from Glasgow, evacuated to Stevenstone during the war.
Morning all. Went to a girlie craft evening last night and finally finished the Pussy hat I was knitting. Just venturing out of bed for coffee now.
