Good Morning Tuesday Birds!

[Smowball]

Another busy birthday week next week - I've got 4 to send cards or presents for. My middle son, my eldest sons gf, my daughters bf and a friend. I always always say I'm going to post things with plenty of time spare but end up leaving it last min, so am determined to get everything in post tomorrow lol. Mind you, the way postage costs are going nobody will be posting cards soon!

Very blowy here - and damp as usual. What a surprise lol! Luckily only have to nip out to post a couple of parcels so that won't take long.

Anyone up to anything today?

Good morning Smow.
It's absolutely chucking it down here, has been for almost 48 hours now.
September is my bumper week for birthdays, none at all this month.
I really do need to go out and get a little shopping, the fridge is really bare. Maybe a little trip to the co op just down the road, we'll see how the day pans out.
Slept all through the night last night, didn't wake once according to my watch, I can't remember doing that since ....well I don't know when.
Have a good day, and stay dry if you can :)

Morning ferlew.  Well I had dinner planned this eve, then just seen MrSmow packing a bag... erm, are you going anywhere I asked? Yes he said, I'm off to Newcastle  - I did tell you last week. 
Well he might have mentioned it last week but we sat watching tv all lastnight and he didn't utter a word about going away today....... looks like dinner for one again ; )

Raining cats and dogs here.  Mr U dropped me at hairdresser, and went off to the tip with another load.  On way back stopped of at friends Macmillan coffee morning, so many people wanting to chat, and let us know they would be visiting.

Waiting for a delivery of another 100 Metres bubblewrap so that we can get packing again.

Must order some flowers for my hairdresser as I have been with her 40 years.

Get that remote and the snacks ready smow!

After 2-3 days of murky wetness and high winds, I woke to bright sunshine. I have a Sainsbury's order this evening, but I don't know yet if anything is unavailable. I hope not!

[Smowball]

Ubasses - Thanku! U you just reminded me that I need bubble wrap! lol

pasta - yep, will have to see if I can find anything good to watch! : )

[pastafreak]

Bake-off is on tonight...I'll be watching that 🥮🍞🥐🧁

Afternoon Smow. Had a really bad day yesterday at the hospital having treatment for my arthritis.

Now I no longer drive, I have to use the hospital patient transport. Booked it for 8 am as my treatment was to start at 8.30 am and they turned up at 9.15 am so my treatment didn't start until 9.45 am.

The staff knew my treatment would end at 2.30 pm so they phoned for transport only to be told they could not allocate at that moment. To cut a long story short, I ended up phoning one of my daughters up at work to ask if she could pick me up from work when she finished at 5 pm. Nightmare.

Taking it easy today and happy I don't need to go out in this awful weather. xx

I watched the first episode of the New Zealand version of Traitors last night.  One of my favourite television shows whichever country it comes from.  BBC3 if you're interested, smow.

[calda49]

Collected monthly medications this morning and one missing, so spent this morning between pharmacy and doctors. It happens quite often and of course each blames the other and I am stuck in the middle - arrgh!!

Last time I posted a birthday card I put it in the postbox on Sunday to be collected at 9.15am Monday. The birthday was on Wednesday, and it didn't arrive until Friday, and it was in the local area. The post is terrible round here.

This is a very negative post, I'm having one of those days , so will leave now and hope tomorrow is a better day!

[Smowball]

Oh yes - Bake Off!Thought the 1st episode last week was very good!

Sorry to hear that Barsel - sounds very stressful : (

Traitors - I've heard of the show but not seen it, will give it a look up and see what it's about. Thanks.

calda - last year I posted a birthday card to someone. Not only did I forget to take the price tag off, but I forgot to write in it!! So I basically sent her a blank card with the price on LOL.

[naomi24]

smow, the original UK versions are available - Claudia Winkleman hosts.

[Canary42]

Did they send you the money 😀  😀  😀  😀  😀  

[Rosetta]

Afternoon all, the weather here is cold and wet.  Naomi, I will look to see if the NZ Traitors is on iplayer as I loved the British series. I could't watch the UU version as I can't stand Alan Cummings. Nothing much happening here today, same old same old

[Smowball]

 Canary no lol, but don't think they were very amused lol! 
Naomi - I just can't figure out why the hosts of GBBO have changed so many times? It's a great show. But even Mary Berry as a judge left didn't she, and was replaced by Pru Leith.

[netibiza]

Rushes in as I see you are still here! Good day everyone!

[naomi24]

Rosetta, the Australian one is good - especially series 2.

 

Smow, I don't watch GBBO.  I think you're doing what I do - get kerfuddled with multi-tasking.   :o)

 

[Cloverjo]

Smow, can we swap husbands? Mine never leaves the house now. 
🫤

[Smowball]

Oh yes, sorry! That was meant for pasta lol (GBBO)
Afternoon netibiza and Rosetta  - you both ok?

Clover - apart from these odd business trips OH never leaves the house either! Not sure if the neighbours know if he still lives here!! lol!
