COLD DARK ROOM

[CarolM]

It seems like only last week you were saying it seemed to be getting colder and winter must be coming.

I know it is crazy. It has been dark and dismal this week. And next week it will probably be hot again in the afternoon. But the mornings and nights are cold. Cold for us anyway. You guys who get snow in winter etc, would probably call it a spring day.

Love those!! I’m the Pinterest pinning queen but never try or do what I pin!!

You should take one Saturday and just try a few of the things that you have liked. It is fun, when you have the time or make the time.

I made some fairy houses last year. I saw it on Pininterest as well and it was great fun. I actually need to make another one for my niece, but have been putting it off. I'm thinking that I should do it this Saturday.

I used the weed trimmer for the first time this season trimmed the pepper tree over the enclosures and trimmed up my grape vines a bit.
It is so weird without my grandson since he started preschool. I’m getting more done!

Lol, you don't realise how much time kids take until they are not there.

My brother-in-law lost a bet with my sister, and as a result had to help work in our mother's garden one weekend. He did not know what asparagus plants looked like and weed-eated her asparagus to the ground, thinking he was cutting weeds.
He got corrected.

Oh Dear. I bet he will know what they look like from now on.

 

[CarolM]

Just having an idea like that is already creative by my standards!
But work is never done

More or less snap on the second sentence.

Good morning all. The sun is out and things are getting warm here. Expected high of 22C/72F today... and 26C/79F tomorrow!

I’m just off to see my physio/osteo. Not see you all later

Good Luck and enjoy your sunny days.

Morning all, hope everyone is doing ok... I’ve tried to catch up on 5 days worth of posts.
As Joesmum said our weather in the UK is improving yippeeeee! It’s a lovely sunny morning in London, warm enough to walk without a coat.
Unfortunately I’m stuck in the office all day, and where I sit in a big open plan office is right in the middle so I don’t have any windows near me at all. Those that do sit next to the window tend to pull down the blinds because the glare of the sun affects their view of their computer screen. [emoji22]

I’m not sure if it’s just me but the sun can totally affect my mood, I find dark, dull days I actually have no motivation to do anything, as soon as the sun pops it head out, I’m up, out, mowing grass, planting flowers. I’m looking forward to getting home at about 6pm tonight and getting out into the garden.

Have a great day!

oh Shame. I hope 6pm comes quickly for you.

Hello, UK roommates!
Sounds like summer has wandered onto your side of the Channel.
19C in Denmark, which is almost summer! My windows are open; a street musician is playing the melody we danced to as our wedding dance.
The sun — D3 specifically? — certainly improves my spirits too.

You See, you regard 19c as almost summer. We think that is cold. Obviously you needed to hear your wedding song today.......because they played it for you.

I bet no one cut him any slack for that! Poor asparagus

I saw that! [emoji6]

Hello everyone.
Spring is here. Wonderful sunny and warm weather. I am going to pick my torts for their first walk outside. We all need a lot of D3 and sunlight me thinks ! @Kristoff
Hope to see you all not later in the evening. Have a nice day.

Beautiful! Well done, Carol!

Yep. I thought so too.

I know. It’s all relative. The first time we were in Denmark, they were having a “heat wave” of 26C. We thought it hadn’t warmed up yet.

Overcast days affect me too. I tend to sit arund and read or work jigsaw puzzles if it's overcast instead of getting my chores done.

Finally, some SUNSHINE and warmer temps here in MD as well. Maryland Department of Natural Resources just sent this out... a sure sign of #Spring

And wouldn't you just know it? I was planning to mow today, went outside to feed, water and clean up tortoises, and it's overcast and slightly windy. So no mowing for me today. I'll clean the kitchen and wash the floor instead. Shucks!

I agree, mowing is a lot more fun. Cleaning up is a never-ending process.

Good evening all. A glorious day. I cut the grass for the first time this year

My physio has decided that I must have an x ray to specifically look for an A/C (Acromioclavicular) Joint Spur or Tendon Calcification. I have refrained from Googling anything other than what A/C stood for... and now understand why neither my physio, nor my GP who I spoke to by phone to get referred, has written it longhand

The pain is much less, but the range of movement is still poor.

And then I had paperwork to do Tomorrow is due to be the hottest day of the year and I am scheduled to be in meetings from 9am-6pm. Not good!

Love your quote of the day. Yayyyyyyyy your torts get to go outside. Enjoy your sunshine little torties.

Beautiful! Well done, Carol!

Thank you Lena. Made out of a 5lt water bottle. Beach sand/tiny stones and glue. Used sticks etc from the garden and moss as well. Something you could do with your daughter. You can use river stones instead of the beach sand.
