Morning all. 6.5 at 8.30 when I woke. This is was after I spent at least two hours wide awake through the night. I very nearly got up at 4am but luckily I must have succumbed to sleep.
A beautiful sunny and frosty morning. Snow on Skiddaw, which is always lovely to see. Had planned doing nothing today expect, like @Pattidevans, make a chicken dinner. (Mine is just a common roast chicken but with my own sage and onion stuffing, plus the usual accompaniments.) But we may go for a local walk.
Zara’s birthday soft play party went really well. She thoroughly enjoyed it as did her little pals. I only got one photo but Mr Eggy got loads. Got home just after 7. Luckily, as I’m so organised, the lamb kofta curry just needed warmed up, a couple of chapatis made and the rice cooked. We were say eating it by 7.45. Which is very late for us.
@Grannylorraine good luck on your run.
@Wendal Mr Eggy spends a lot of his retirement doing DIY, which he enjoys, he is very handy as they say. Since we retired in 2017, we don’t count the first year as he was too busy having heart attacks ( four in the first four months of retiring, and he’d already had two, hence why we retired early at 57) and various procedures to deal with them, he has totally remodelled our kitchen using our existing units which he painted, and added more, he’s built two ponds with the sandstone that was lying around the garden, made five raised beds and grows lots of vegetables. Then of course last year he built ( from scratch) the lean to green house/potting shed, this week he’s fitted electricity into it. Tomorrow he’s taking delivery of two kitchen worktops which he is going to make into shelving for the greenhouse. Then it’s plumbing after that. He’s also a parish councillor, and vice chairman, external competition organiser and treasurer of his local camera club! He is never bored! And soon it’s planting time, all of June, July, August and September is taken up with gardening so we don’t holiday in those months, we go away spring, late autumn and winter. Usually walking holidays. And of course we’ve got three daughters, six grandchildren, and another on the way, they keeps us on our toes. I keep the home fires burning, although I do help with the garden, not so much the DIY though! I used to laugh when retired folks would say to me that they don’t know how they had time to go to work, but it’s true! Do it!
Have a fab day everyone.
The one photo I took. Zara with her favourite cousin Sadie. They both got the purple memo!
