A good start to the day
That was so funny! :) We introduced the kids to it not that long ago and they loved it too!
Father Ted is awesome!!!
Yeh! He's feckin' great!!
How’s things Rev?
Wet and windy so been playing Zelda Breath of the Wild while listening to Classic FM so not much else to report.
Just remembered sorted my weed whacker replaced the carburetor now it roars like a lion and the tall weeds don't stand a chance. Eventually ordered some paving slabs (600x200x38mm) after much problems with server errors, double ordering etc which is now sorted.
Which bit are you paving?
It's good to hear from you. I've missed your daily updates!
Do you have any plans to meet up with your sister? What about lunch and bridge club etc any news on whether they will be up and running again soon?
I'm redoing the path down to the veg plot I've patched up some of it but the last few metres is beyond help so ordered some paving slabs to finish it off.
No plans to meet up with sis at the moment we keep in touch by phone twice a week.
Bridge club nothing doing there as you can't social distance and play bridge and we are talking about people in their 70's, 80's and 90's so very vulnerable so can't see bridge returning in the foreseeable future.
Lunch Club it would be possible to social distance though as the rules for Greater Manchester stand I don't think it would be allowed. I'm in touch with Brenda so I'll know if things change.
Is weed whacker the technical name? Sounds awesome :)
Weed whackers are brilliant. It’s like a strimmer on steroids.
I'm glad you're in touch with Sis and Brenda. Do you have any other contact with anyone at all?
TV gave up the ghost (that's the second TV that's died on me in recent years) so using a rather diddy 22" model (where's my opera glasses), PC ticking like a demented wood pecker.
Did sweet FA yesterday, can I get going today watch this space.
Oh no about the TV! Are you replacing it?
What's up with your PC?
Did you manage to get things done today?
I think it must be catching Mike! But our tv is down to not much broadband power in the village! Can't do catch up. PC is slug like too.
I spent 3 and half hours yesterday and only cleared (from grass and weeds) 1/3 of the flower bed next to the path.
I probably will get a new TV though there is no hurry this teeny tiny model will do for the time being.
My PC has 2 hard drives and I suspect one of them is making the noise like a drunken grandfather clock if it is not the system drive then I'll just disconnect it.
I know the noise of a drunken grandfather - your poor PC (giggle)
What's on your agenda this week? You doing anything social? What about Sis and Bil? Are they planning to visit for tea in the garden soon?
Nothing social planned this week not sure if you can meet up in Greater Manchester yet as we are a corona virus hot spot, had a good chat with sis on the phone this morning.
Windows 10 needed updating apparently my version of windows 10 is nearing the end of its life so a need to update to a shiny new version ;)
Lot of gardening yesterday went okay until the last bit when grass creeping buttercup and sticky clay soil nearly defeated me anyway the flower bed sort but for how long couldn't say.
I'm just about to sally forth in to the garden, meant to start after lunch but the radio and Zelda kept me occupied ;)
YAY for Zelda! :)
OO how's the new windows? Was it a massive update? I hate Windows updates on Marc's machine as it controls our server and everything which has several thousand movies, loads of tv series and all our music, photos, documents etc on it!
I didn't reply yesterday as when I checked Windows 10 version it hadn't changed still 1903 so did some searching on Microsoft website down loaded "Update Assistant" and tried again several hours later same thing, found out it had failed with Error 0x80070652 ^) could be the funny HD the one like a drunken woodpecker it spins up pecks a few times and spins down,. New HD on the way so when that's replaced will try again.
Spoke to Brenda on the phone for our fortnightly chat.
Shopping in the morning yesterday grrrr discarded masks on the floor outside the shop some people.
Bolton 5 miles up the road worst covid place in England came out of lockdown at midnight despite what the council leader wanted then 12 hours later was back in lockdown again confused well I am.
Piddled it down all yesterday from lunch onward so sweet FA done (apart from playing Zelda Breath of the Wild).
You ok, hunni?
You sound pretty down, are you actually OK?
Yep I'm okay not bouncin' along I suppose it's like that for most of us in these covid days.
OK.... Are you still pootling around to get shopping etc?
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but you sound to me like you sometimes sound in the winter - and I’m worried about you. Have you thought about talking to your doctor?
Yup still pootling around for shopping :)
Yesterday rained most of the day so listeng to music and playing Zelda was the order for the day.
I'm sure weeds are coming up in the flower bed I just cleared as signs of little green leaves sprouting forth from the ground as viewed from my bedroom window.
I agree with Paula, you do sound flat and a bit down. When did you last speak to the Dr about how you are feeling? When was your last meds review?
When you're fed up looking at YOUR weeds, you can come and look at ours! There's plenty to see!(giggle)
And mine!
Last meds review about year ago I am a bit flat but with the never ending covid crisis it is not surprising.
Yesterday planned on more weeding in the afternoon but kept putting it off and even fell asleep on the sofa so it was early dinner at about 5 pm and then out in garden, I even found newly planted shrubs buried in the grass 2 steps forward and 3 steps back in my garden.
Maybe you should go and have an mot with the doctor? I know struggling at the moment is understandable, but that doesn’t mean you can’t do something to help you
I agree with Paula - you seem to have been feeling flat for a while before lockdown too lovely... Would you think about it?
