Good morning, everyone!
I’m still trying to wake up so will be more chatty later.
Safe travels, Gma!
Stay warm, everyone. The cold won’t reach here until Monday and even then just slightly below freezing so no prep needed. We already have covers on outside faucets, covers for plants just need to be put on.
Trying to convince dh to go out and get breakfast. Bbl with my list.
Enjoy your day.

Good morning / good afternoon, Trissie, L Ann , Helia, KitKat and Bama!

Trissie, I never knew that the scout hike was originally a protest. I hope DS and DBD have a good time.

L.Ann, I hope you find somewhere warm during DD's practice!

Helia, I envy you the sunshine, but definitely.not the temperatures! I think the wind part of the storm has passed, and it's now 9C / 48F and, as ever, raining. I have to keep reminding myself to be grateful it's RAIN and not SNOW, or, even worse, ICE!

Enjoy time with DGD, KitKat!

I hope you can get the house to yourself, Bama.

DH has gone to a fundraiser organised by his DF A's GF, so I've had a quiet morning, and spent probably too much time looking at the fabric I've put in my online basket. My plan is to sew some tablecloths for the kitchen table, once the decluttering and deep cleaning is done. I'm also looking for some new tea towels. I've already tried the bricks and mortar stores, but their offerings are either very cheap and nasty and likely to fall apart after a couple of uses, or extremely superior quality with a price tag to match. There don't seem to be any mid range ones any more. So I've turned my search online, and put a few possibles in my eBay basket. And found a wooden storage box that will fit under the spare room bed.

Time to really get going with the kitchen!

To do:
Cuddles and treats with Matilda, Freddie and Jude
QT
Update latest Waitrose order
Cup of tea

Lap time with Freddie, Jude and Matilda
Head rubs with Freddie, Jude, and Matilda

Safe travels Gma!

trissie, MrNG is staying indoors,but he gets to travel through a nice area. I did like the Canadian PM's speech too. Well said and well thought.

L.Ann you got me searching for firecracker sauce. Never had it, now I want to try it.

helia enjoy the sun before the snow !

kittykatt I feel the same as you regarding prices at fabric stores. Better choices online. I had a smiliar project of sewing tablecloths for us. The ones we have are old, discoloured and/or dirty beyond washing.

kitkat what books is it that you're reading ?

Bama I hope you're awake now. And fed

The kids had sports, I fed them - we had initially planned a picnic outdoors, but there was really no way, the rain was too heavy. We had sandwiches inside, and crisps, our usual menu for picnics. Then the haircut appt, for both. A trip to the library where DS10 wanted to see a show of animal photographs, and there was sun for maybe half an hour so that was fine. Now DS10 is playing with DNeighbour R--, 11yo, and they're noisy and all, but at least they ar enot sitting in front of screens, so I will endure it a bit longer.
