SHEs Organized

I had set out to make hot and sour tomato sauce, but ended up packing so much food into the small slow cooker that I had to move it around to fit the tomato sauce in. It will probably cook down to be more saucy.

Good afternoon, everyone.
I keep trying to post more but when I get online I get distracted by my many open tabs and end up going in a totally different direction.
I love roses. I think I’m going to look for a climbing rose. I keep seeing photos of some gorgeous ones. We bought a rose bush a couple of weeks ago that is yellow with a red or dark pink edge. Now I’ll have to see if it still has its name tag, not sure if it’s a tequila sunrise but sounds similar.
My college daughter got us hooked on Bluey several years ago so their theme song is an earwig to me on occasion.
I’m trying to do round robins so hope posting will keep me on track.

Hello, everyone!

Trissie, I've never done an escape room, but, from what I've heard, it does sound enjoyable. I'm not a huge fan of Friday evening events either. I hope the parent - teacher evening wasn't too awful for DH -at least he now knows just what you've had to put up with!

Laura, I hope your day was both productive and enjoyable.

L.Ann, we don't usually get so much an extended period of warm, dry, sunny weather this early in the year, so I'm trying to make the very most of it. The nights are still chilly though, even down to freezing.

WTG cleaning out your fridge, Gma! I'm glad your DMum has found something she enjoys at the NH.

Dogged, that does sound cold! I'm glad you and Germane are able to stay warm and cosy

Good to see you, Bama!

Hi, Peaches!

I had a good time in my garden -this beautiful weather means my patio set is being well used! And I also did some weeding and deadheading. The predator again st the fuchsia gall mite arrived this afternoon, so I'll set that up tomorrow -Ill just use short stakes to hang the envelopes on, if there isn't enough new growth.

My sitting room is now clean and tidy, and I've cleaned the patio doors. I've also picked up my foot in the kitchen! Paperwork is dealt with and the financial stuff is dealt with, and I've ordered myself a new summer cardigan as a remit to be gracious and accommodating about BIL's impending visit. (I know I shouldn't really need a "bribe", it *should* just come naturally, but it doesn't, yet )

I'm in bed now. DH is back from choral, and I can hear him repacking the dishwasher that I packed before I came upstairs.

To do:

Pick up my footprints! (Thank you, RRose!)
Make list of outstanding jobs on the house and send to Handyman A. DF PM, who has been mentoring him through some difficult turns his life has taken, thinks he may be ready to start some jobs again. (If he doesn't reply in a reasonable time, or doesn't want to do anything, then I'll look for someone else, but I would prefer not to do that). Off the top of my head, clean gutters and the swan neck on the downpipes where "stuff" tends to accumulate, clean cladding back and front and downpipes, and short return wall as well. Replace the bit of mortar that's fallen out of the edge of the roof (I think its called the verge?) , fix dripping kitchen tap ( new washer?), sort out cabinet that wobbles, fix garage guttering that's loose at one end and bending down. More as I think of them? ( Still waiting for a reply) In the circumstances, leave until after Easter them contact him again before looking for someone else.
Take up and hem those thick winter curtains for the kitchen
Book eye test for me
Find picture hanging equipment for DH
Sort prints and put in albums (this will probably be an activity to do on wet days!) WIP I am now working on 2024
Think about setting up Guardianship for F,J and M - looked on Cats' Protection, I need their microchip numbers, approximate DOB, colour and markings and useful information about them. Bookmark link with local recommended solicitors (also ask DF CW?)
