What have you been doing today?

[judydawn]

That’s Marina’s post you’re responding to Margaret, thanks for the explanation - we’re always concerned when our regulars are absent. A belated happy birthday for your 80th, how wonderful to have everyone together for the special occasion.

We had a car run today. It was lovely. Up the back roads to Toodyay and then home. https://www.toodyay.wa.gov.au/

Ok now I could laugh or cry but I decided to be manic and fast as ! I had a memory lapse ! I stated looking though some things and in deep though ! I went back to the kitchen ( where my osso bucco in TMX was on cooking mode for 90 minutes) mm that’s a strange noise !! I felt I was standing starring in disbelief at a hot running tap overflowing sink and bubbles. Water was over the benches and I grabbed a washing glove pulled out the plug . Grabbing the TMX 6 pulling out if the way . Grabbed the TMX5 placed it on table . Grabbed cloths and mop .. water was in draws cupboards. I then thought all good but no the draws were full bowls were full of water . ( meanwhile i’m thinking ,fast as less damage . And I had to get dinner still 30 more mins . Thankful the TMXs we’re on thick boards . Chucked out stuff , boys came home and most was done . My shoulders ached so badly from lifting ,sponge , towel and mop etc . Everything has to dry out . So let’s just laugh . But the waterfall moment will be with me for awhile ! Oh yes the osso bucco was very good !

Happy birthday Mab.  I have one coming up at the end of the week and today is our 47th anniversary - it must be that time of year.

K Atie - what a disaster, but look on the bright side, now you have cleaned out parts of your kitchen and don't need to do it again for a while!

[judydawn]

Poor you K Atie, what a great job getting it all cleaned up before the family came in. These things are sent to test us I think.

All you can do is laugh KAtie. It has to be cleaned so crying would waste time. I spilled a bowl of boiling water in the oven the other day. (Rising bread) it was a mess, but I was worried it would cause damage. So the best thing was to just get on with it. The floor of my oven sparkles now.

I had my BCC removed today. The numbness has worn off but it’s not sore so that’s good.

Happy Birthday and anniversary to the happy people.

Happy Birthday Mab .
Thanks it was an on going clean up ! I’ll put everything back tomorrow as a long day today ! They needed to dry out completely.
I think I’m a little over appointments today , DS held up very well as support. Podiatrist ,dentist crown ,GP flu and calcium injections blood tests too. DS had Dentist and flu injections. Oh my gosh my heal is bound up with treatment to a persistent wart . The Denist can go overseas on my crown ( that braved and had nothing to dull the pain alot of pressure so aches now and hygiene .DS fisher seals , filling and hygiene. We rushed to GP for injections , never forget calcium injection time … so bloods done for that . Now I have to see a bone man . I’ll have to organise to see skin specialist . The list goes on . So we met DD and tried a new sandwich shop called Rubens . Might give them a miss so salty and hard to eat . And top it off I had hardly any sleep . It’s a little too much . A few days ago DS helped put a tv that I had spent months looking into and hoping it would go into bedroom… the only way to get the boys to put it together was say to use it as our main TV . Instant .. remote is tiny and light as a feather. DS packed up the old and we had a very laughing trip to take to DD as it wobbled for most of the trip but was fine .

I tried to catch up on some housework today.

[achookwoman]

Cleaning out drawers.
Afternoon tea out with Probus. I usually have only coffee as I don’t like the commercial cakes.

I did my grocery shopping today.

[Cuilidh]

Wound clinic and physio for me today.

I'm going to a coffee machine class this afternoon. Hopefully I can get a park at the shopping centre. It's only a Nespresso one but it is supposed to be from bean to coffee. It should be interesting.

I really enjoyed my coffee class. I’m not a fanatical coffee drinker but found it very interesting. It was called bean to cup. We tasted lots of different coffees. Fortunately their effect wore off before bed time.
Today we took friends down for coffee. We took the old Holden.
