Good morning, About 10 degrees warmer at 43 degrees this morning, it will be sunny and going up to almost 60. The weather people say we are having a stretch of sunny warmer than normal days for this last part of October and I am very happy with that. This can often be a stormy time of year. We went to the Department of Motor Vehicles to put our Brunswick address on our licenses mid-morning and we had almost an hour wait. When we got to the window the lady asked if we wanted to renew our licenses at this… Read more »
Hi Jenn.
Pleased that you might get a spell of warm sunny weather we are getting colder now by the day.
We have to renew our licences every 3 years.😘
Yes, the weather man last night said we have a straight stretch through this week and through the week end of warmer and sunny days He said this is unusual for such a beautiful stretch this time in October. I am happily going to take it.😍
🌞 Yes!
Hi Jenn
Glad you could kill two birds with one stone as the saying goes……but when you think about it it’s not a nice saying.🙄
Thanks Ardy, a relief to not have to go back in January for Denny and March for me.
A guy came in with a beautiful Yellow Labrador dog and he was the sweetest boy, he came to us sitting up back and we got to pat him and he was just so loving.💕
💕🐶🐶
Hi Jenn
I know you will enjoy your warm weather 😊💜
Great news that you got to unexpectedly renew your driver’s license. I renewed mine this past summer and will need to do so again in 5 years.
Good morning, not cold but a bit of rain later and getting so bored being kept in by the weather !
Shopping came with all the goodies chocolate and cake and I fancied a water cress sandwich with cheese so I put a handful in and it was very good ! Forgot the lamb and mushrooms for a shepherds pie I seemed to have ordered 2 bars of mint chocolate instead must be getting old, lol !
I was in Dublin last night watching the ferries coming and going and the ghostly shapes around them ! 🤗
Hi Beryl.
One of my favourite cameras.😘
Is this on SPO?
Great picture!
Hi Beryl
At least you have lots of chocolate goodies to eat. Can you place a small order for shepherds pie?
Hi Beryl,
I love that picture, so mystical !💛
I hope you get more outdoor days before it gets too ‘wintery’ .♥
I like your grocery haul, sounds like you have enough chocolate to keep you happy for awhile. 😘😍
I have never had water cress but I know Amber mentions it sometimes.
I had to google water cress …i thought it was like a water chestnut….I was way off.
Wonder stuff with many health benefits.
It has a strong peppery taste which is so tasty.😋
Well I wish I could try it sometime
Hi Beryl
What a cool looking pic 😎
Maybe next time you’ll remember to order lamb and mushrooms for a shepherds pie 😊
Good morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. Still raining this morning and it will be with us for most of the day, The local river must be sighing with relief to finally get the water flowing and wash away the thick weed growth that’s clogging it up. It is Pretzel day today we have changed to a Wednesday now Lidl’s gets more product in on a Wednesday. 49F at 7-00 and the boiler has fired up this morning sign of the times now, Winter is getting nearer. I wonder when I will start moaning about the wet weather.lol. Off… Read more »
Good morning
Always nice to get rain. Hope you and Glenda dont get wet and you get your pretzel.
Did you sleep any better?
Hi Ardy.
We did get a bit damp but worth it for the Pretzel.lol.
We do sleep ok Ardy but it seems that at about 5-30 we are wide awake so we just get up.😀😘
Yay you got your pretzel. Have you noticed any difference in your wheezing yet?
Have not got the new inhaler yet Ardy they are still filling the prescription hopefully tomorrow.
oh ok thanks
Good morning Ice,
Did you get a new inhaler from the medical visit yesterday ?
That is wonderful the rivers are starting to flow again with the lovely rain.😘
I hope you did get pretzels today.🥨
Hi Jenn.
Just waiting now for the prescription to come through tomorrow I hope.
On my weather App have had a warning of high damaging winds on Friday.
My app is telling me on my area impact generally will be significant.
But the likelihood in my particular area said low yesterday but that has just been updated to medium.
A bit worrying that because the wind speed they are quoting is 50 to 60 mph with gusts of 70 mph😟😘
That is very good news that they are giving you another inhaler. I hope it works great!
It is a bit worrisome thinking you might get such high winds. They can be so damaging.😌
We just went through those wind gusts Luckily we didn’t have any damage but we did have to batten down all the plants on the patio They still even tipped over. It was a wild few days but we got through it
Hi Ice
I’m glad your area has continued to get some beneficial rain 🌧️😘
Hi Kathy.
It is really making up for lost time now.😘
Good afternoon. had a Zoom call and then my chat person Ash came so bit of a rush this morning so wish it was like that a bit more but at least I got today ! Gas guy came to fix what the other gas guy didn’t, still haven’t fixed the lounge radiator but I live in hopes ! Bit grey and a bit chilly but my pink track suit soon makes me cosy as I can’t bear being cold ! I always feel good and much calmer when I have a visit I wish it happened more it would… Read more »
Bit weird coming up twice !!!!!
Gotta be careful with those Autumn winds 🌬 💚
Naughty ! LOL !
😂😘
@Jenn I don’t know if you saw my vote posted way down in the basement but I also said I think you should keep the lovely scarf set you made 😊
Hi Kathy,
Thank you, I did not see your vote but they are sure adding up.😀 I always want to give away something I have made if I think they will like it. Homemade is made with LOVE when I do make for others. I do really like this set though and am leaning towards keeping it. 😀

Pretty pansies
It sounds like you had a busy morning.
I hope you get the lounge radiator fixed soon.
I hate to be cold too.
I love getting into bed with my pink hot water bottle nothing like it but I guess a man might do, lol ! 😁
Beautiful greeting image, Beryl 💜
I’m glad you had a visit that cheered you up 🥰
I hope your lounge radiator gets fixed soon.
Thank you Kathy ! 🌺
Gorgeous pansies 💖 Hope you’re able to get the lounge radiator repaired soon.
I am hopefully hoping Pam ! 🌹
Hi Beryl,
I understand feeling calmer for you when you have company to talk to. 💗 I would be the same if I were alone.
I am very happy that you have your heating working better again. Do you spend much time in the lounge area?
No I live in the dining room with my computer but come 6pm its Dr Jeff mountain vet from Denver Colorado I never miss him ! 😊
