Elite Thread XIX

Glad your Dad is safe with you inna.
Enjoy your holiday.

The chiropodist recommended we get Mum Skechers and I got some at the same time. I’ve not looked back since. They are the comfiest shoes/sandals I’ve ever had. But they are definitely large. I normally take size 8 but that’s 7 in Sketchers.

morning all

Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather and having a good weekend. I worked hard outside yesterday and feeling a bit knackered as a consequence so I'm going to have a much easier day today.

I think I'll take myself off to the coast, not the hateful touristy bit and all that goes with that, but to the old part where the fishing boats come in and there are places to sit and 'just be'. Where it's quiet and peaceful and very relaxing. I'll take a book and just sit awhile, getting some sea air and then buying some fresh caught fish for dinner tonight

Have a great day all whatever you are getting up to!

I am sending thoughts that everything goes well this time for you

Good morning all, glorious day here

Thanks for the cuppa MW.

We were out for a meal last night, a group of about 20 of us, needless to say I am very thirsty today from all the chatting lol.

Good luck living with your father for a while Inna!!

I leave the step counting to my phone TM, and it sits in my handbag so it records everything except at home when it just sits on the side lol.

That sounds like the perfect day Foxy, would love to do that but we are more than 30 miles from the nearest beach, and the traffic today would be horiffic.

Morning, kettle is on

Watching Olympics and will be gardening later on, such a lovely sunny day.

Love to all x

Good morning all

Getting housework done today and DH has been in the garage tiding Its endless He has too many small tools and just dumps them in there then needs to buy another screwdriver etc

We are off to B'ham next week 3/4 nights Cousin still struggling after a second bout of pneumonia in February and she is down to 6st Its their 59th wedding anniversary so we are going to see if they want to go out to celebrate Probably a take away though

Booked a bus tour to Liverpool next month Very basic package but it means DH can have a wee drink of an evening as a tour to Chester and somewhere else are included Plus its just old folk and it leaves from our local bus station 5 mins away

Foxy I would love a day at the seaside So enjoy Our nearest is about an hours drive so not something we do often

Haze Hope the day of peace and quiet helped reset your batteries

Enjoy whatever you do

Hope you get your free Rockstars!

Ps that trip sounds nice lol

I live in a pair of flip flops....summer and winter. No one ever looks at my feet... thank god as they are still recovering from London trip!

Finished the deck board replacements! I even had a stroke of genius at how to do the bits that needed to be cut out! Knackered now though and obvs needs painting

The brown ones are the ones we replaced first a few years back, then we did another 10 a month or two ago but then I got one more lot. Can't seem to get that size from wickets anymore but found them on ebay.

Fab job mw that looks great 😃

Had a lovely time at the coast as there was a gentle cool breeze blowing in off the sea which mitigated the heat of the sun so that made it very pleasant to sit out. Not too many people about either which made it perfect. I'm very lucky to live just a short drive away from the coast so I really feel for people who live much further away and it's not so convenient to pop to.

From the fishing boats I bought some haddock and plaice for the freezer and a lovely Lemon Sole for dinner tonight, which I think I will partner with a creamy and mildly Parmesan sauce. I popped in the Farm shop on the way home and got some freshly dug new potatoes and a big bag of watercress to make a watercress and avocado salad to go with it. I'm feeling really hungry now just writing that down!

Hope everyone else had an enjoyable day too
