Blogtober '23 - Day 29.

-

    Today has been rather naff. This morning was soooo very grey and dark and wet that it seemed my mood plummeted with every minute. Add to that everyone else's less than chirpy moods, and it was really wasn't a fun few hours.

    It did brighten up a bit over lunch/dinner time, (We have our main meal/dinner at lunchtime on a Sunday) and while we ate we listened to the second half of "The Ultimate Dirty Dancing" cd which has got some top tunes on it and certainly cheered me up a bit. Dinner was Meatballs, Noodles and Stir-fry in a Moroccan Meatball Sauce and was rather yummy. Much better than yesterday's Chinese take-away.

    The afternoon was a bit dull, to be honest it's always been one of those times of the week that seem rather pointless, but later on we finished off a batch of Rock Buns and we watched the last episode of "Mrs. Sidhu Investigates". I've quite enjoyed this series, even though it's quite light, but then, do you really want anything heavy going on a Sunday night?

    I'm feeling a bit worked up about something that has to happen soon, rather sooner than I would like, so that isn't helping matters, and the weather for the next week is looking pretty dismal, so I'm probably in for a stressy time of it. Joy!

    Two more blogtober days to go, byeee,👋😔

Blotober - Post 2!

    You would think that with it being a Sunday, I would have had plenty of opportunities to post my intended Blogtober post. But no. I haven't even touched a computer today until now because there always seemed to be something else to do! And I don't suppose any of it was particularly important. Ever have days like that?     So instead of that post I'm going to do a Sunday Waffle. A quick ramble about the day and anything else that pops into the noggin as I type. Minus the swear words. Probably.       It was pretty grim when I got up, it looked like it had rained🌧️ all night, but the sun soon came out☀️ and it was bright till about early afternoon when the clouds started gathering. Somewhere across the road someone had lit a garden fire, smoke blowing up the road so at least this time we didn't get the stink of it.🔥     We did have a fab dinner at lunch time! Rib Bones in a sticky Chinese sauce served with mash, peas and carrots. Golly it was yummers!!😋 😋I haven

     Hello! I'd like to start by asking a few questions to those of you who have been using silicon-handled hooks longer than I have.     In the last few days I have notice that the hook I'm using most has developed a weird ickieness to the handle. It's not sticky or rough, just not right. My others don't feel like this. I even washed it the other day and if anything it made it slightly worse.      Could this be a reaction to the hand-cream I use in the evening to lessen the roughness of my fingers? Is there a way of fixing the issue, and is there a best way of storing and caring for this style of hook? Comments and solutions would be most appreciated.😀     I finished reading "The Tears Of The Salamander" Monday night, and tonight I will start reading something else. I'm just not sure what yet, it may end up a point and grab situation. Whatever it is I probably won't have read it before and I'll let you know what I choose.      Yesterday I mentio

     I'll be honest, things are not great here at the mo'.       Quite apart from the fact that these last few hot weeks have turned my hands and fingers into wet and clammy nightmares, we've all had Covid. Yeah, after all this time, we finally get the bloody thing. The daft thing is my parents have been getting their boosters - the last one not long ago - whereas I haven't had one since the end of... 2021?, and if anything I fared better and have gotten over it quicker than they have! That's not to say any of us are exactly "right" at all: Mother still sounds like she has a cold, but doesn't, Father still has an awful bloody cough which is driving us all mad, and we're all still quite tired and head-achey.      And then there's the "other stuff" which I'm loath to go into because there really isn't much chance of any of that changing any time soon, if ever, and you never know who might end up reading all this. Plus I know you
