What have you done today?

[Ammi]

Spent the weekend visiting friends who had a new baby. He was so adorable. :lovedup:

We’re driving home today and will probably stop in some farm shops for some chutneys.

….awwwwwww, broody Ben…:love:…

[Niamh.]

Been very lazy today, eating cheese and toast now

[Ammi]

…I love lazy Sundays…

[Vicky.]

Watched lost and ate bacon. Going out soon for drink and bingo!

[Glenn.]

Had a beautiful Sunday lunch today :love:

[Kate!]

Had a really lovely weekend.

[Beso]

Tried watering the grass with a sprinkler but the heads busted. So I will just have to watch it burn.

Thought about the golf but it looks to busy and someone would smell my 10th hole spliff.

Hung the washing out. Went to co op for 4 beers, in garden relaxing with some tunes and my phone.

Might put a bet on.

[Redway]

Wondered why the notification-feature doesn’t seem to be available today.

[Benjamin]

Been very lazy today, eating cheese and toast now

As in toast and some cheese separately? Or Cheese on toast?

[rusticgal]

Over friends new house for Sunday Roast…sat in the garden in the sun. It’s been lovely.

[Jessica.]

Went to the park
Had lunch at the in-law's
Went to the beach
Had a lovely vegan burger with homemade chips for dinner and a peach orchard thieves cider
A wonderful day was had by all

[Niamh.]

Well cheese in toast, like an easy single toast sandwich but not melted so I felt like a fraud saying cheese on toast :laugh:

Went to Lore of the Land today for a Sunday roast. Had to book it last year because it’s so popular.

Yorkshire Pudding.:drool:

[Glenn.]

Was an outstanding roast. The best I have outside of my own and my mums.

[Glenn.]

They do this beef dripping popcorn with paprika too. Beautiful

[Cherie]

We showed the family of the woman who used to own our home around, I wont go into how it all came about but it was super special, their parents had owned the home since new in the 1960s and we are the new custodians they and their adult children appreciated seeing the house as it is now :love:

I'm glad that you enjoyed it.:)

[Maru]

It's raining today and I'm cleaning. We got a package today and I took a peak. Husband bought some Wilkinson Sword razors... I'm like is he going for a British-style cut...

One of our neighbors (not the homeowner) bought our childhood home and I visited some years back and they let me (and my husband) look around. It is quite special... especially husband didn't grow up in our area, so he got to see where I was raised. And I got to see positive changes.

I loved the area I grew up in, it was the "historic" side of town, kind of unique geography for the area, but of course pretty run down :laugh: But the right kind of rundown if that makes sense... now some of the older buildings, etc, are slowly being officially preserved. We now live in a better area, but can see all the influences and changes being made in the newer development and changes that were inspired from the old.

And surprisingly was all good by Monday evening. Was just as well, was my last day at work on Tuesday so had to go into the Bristol office to return work stuff.

[Kate!]

I'm nearly home from our trip. On the bus now. 5 minute walk when I get off.

[Vanessa]

Had a great time in Southport. Definitely an interesting place to visit.
London tomorrow is going to be 32 degrees :bawling:

[Kate!]

Phew! It's scorching on this bus

[Glenn.]

At Thorpe Park today

[AnnieK]

At Thorpe Park today

Did you ride Hyperia Glenn? My son rode it 3 times last time he was there. He loves it

Yeah twice :laugh:

Crazy coaster. Definitely the best in the country right now.

[AnnieK]

That's what Matthew said - he loved it and can't wait to go again. My brother lives about 10 minutes away from the park so his kids go loads and so Matthew goes every time he goes to visit. It was closed the time before last when he went and he was gutted so they just spent the last time queuing and then re-queuing for it :laugh:

We went a couple of months ago and started queuing for it, it broke down then started up again. Then valleyed. We gave up in the end.

Made up for it yesterday though. Got on it twice.

Have you got a new job?

[Benjamin]

Nope. Just taking some time out for a while to work out my next adventure.

[Zizu]

We went out to town this morning.. a pleasant walk around the world famous outside market buying bits and bats plus some scrumptious fresh white muffins … then a BIG shop around Asda ..

Sweltering !!

[Nicky91]

installed my new game on the PS5


then i went outside for my chores in the garden, especially keeping a close eye on our own created ''mountain'' of many rocks and plants, but some of the plants were getting too dry, especially with couple days of 38C on them, the weather right now is much better tbh

[Benjamin]

Not long term. Not sure my other would like me swanking off for a year. :laugh:

Some little trips though, yes. Was considering Mongolia or Kyrgyzstan for a couple of weeks, but we’ll see.

What an absolutely amazing coincidence ..

Our daughter was stung by a bee ( extremely painful) this morning and a few hours later one of granddaughters was stung by a wasp !!

Not passing any blame or anything [emoji3]

Oh no! Could it be severe cramp? That's very painful.

[Redway]

I think for me it’s just a certain cramp that comes and goes. Bunions don’t help.

Not sure what causes cramp but I think I've heard somehow that lack of salt could be possible.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Gout?

[Niamh.]

Gout?Yeah, that's what it sounds like, Gav gets it a lot. You'd want to get that checked Redway

[Redway]

Yeah, that's what it sounds like, Gav gets it a lot. You'd want to get that checked Redway

Yeah. Coupled with having extremely flat feet, I want to go under the knife this year, get my feet properly sorted. The bunions, the potential gout and cramps that follow. It can be a lot. It’s better I have surgery on top of whatever-else there might be to treat these issues.

[Maru]

Magnesium spray (like epsom salts) or even Slomag work wonders on anything to do with muscle...

Surgery is never fun. Hopefully it is easy enough for you to recover but even so pays off longterm. Little is more valuable than our health.

I’m due an Epsom salt-bath, to be fair. Thanks for reminding me.

[Ammi]

Redway …with regards to your foot pains…?…you do need to get it checked out as soon as you can…your can be caused by certain medications also, like diuretics for instance are huge gout creators and it’s extraordinarily uncomfortable, I believe…so the sooner it’s diagnosed and medicated…?…let us know how you get on…

I went to specsavers with my partner this morning for his eye test. New glasses. Then we had lunch out and a browse round the retail park. Used my super drug card in store, bargains. No need to cook tonight, we were full up.

Had a pretty cruisey day today. Tidied the house, did laundry, read for a bit, had a nap, played some PS5 and now just about to make dinner.

Our local Popshelf has all its inflatable sprinklers on significant markdown because they're already getting in Halloween stock :skull:... so what did I buy? A giant 6ft rainbow... for $9, because why not...

It was a little work to inflate. We inflated it on my husband's birthday but we've had it up for a day or so. So when I walk by the back door/window and I look out, there's now this giant rainbow sitting there and every once in a while our pups run through it to chase squirrels. It's very amusing.

https://i.postimg.cc/V69zT3pj/IMG20250728172524.jpg

I'm thinking about going back and picking up another one because in-laws are flying in later in the year so may send it up to my child's cousins for their Christmas... which won't be used until next year, but yeah.

…I love that…:lovedup:…and wow, what a bargain price…I would most definitely be buying more …as you say, looking out from your window and seeing that colourful rainbow every time is just so…uplifting…:love:…as well as the squirrels and the pups loving it, your little Maru must love it as well…your lawn grass is looking incredible btw, so green and healthy and very lush…Maru Marainbow…:love:..

It is very huge. It looked big as we were pulling it out of the box. It looked even bigger when we were blowing it up :laugh: I had to hang it over the car door to be able to charge it up (with air) using an air compressor for my car... then we figured out later we could've just used the Shop Vac. It took about 30-45 minutes to fill.

Thanks for compliments on the lawn :love: My backyard is almost completely St Augustine grass, so it repairs pretty quickly and loves high temps. We're supposed to be 37-38C tomorrow (today?). I have it set right now really high to keep hydrated. A lot of warm grasses (in our climate) usually have runners that run across the topsoil so don't go deeply underground so they like to be tall. St Augustine needs 3-4" this time of year (It's at 3.75").

My dogs look like they're in a grass pillow when they're sunbathing so it goes well with the massive rainbow with the cloud pillows in the bottom :love:

I came in after mowing the front today and daughter was very happy under her rainy rainbow and had her arms up in the air exclaiming "It's a big rainboow! It's so beautifuuuul!".

…yeah for sure, that’s no quick task to fill that up…I can see that…but so, so worth it…I would never tire of looking out of a window and seeing that in my garden…such a beautiful and uplifting garden scape to give Miss Maru every day…:lovedup:…and the grass really is so lush…:love:…we’ve had such a dry/hot summer so far…the grass is coming back a bit now but it’s been quite straw like and brown for a while…

It sounds like your grass has already gone dormant? It's been very moist here this year so maybe it'll make it to the UK somehow...

:laugh: And thanks. I move it a little bit each day so that it doesn't kill everything underneath. At least until I get the heart to deflate it for storage. :spin: I don't want it to get sun bleached but my daughter is absolutely loving it atm taking her daily childhood pilgrimages to the courtyard (her words) to visit the big rainbow.

It's $9!



It sounds like your grass has already gone dormant? It's been very moist here this year so maybe it'll make it to the UK somehow...

:laugh: And thanks. I move it a little bit each day so that it doesn't kill everything underneath. At least until I get the heart to deflate it for storage. :spin: I don't want it to get sun bleached but my daughter is absolutely loving it atm taking her daily childhood pilgrimages to the courtyard (her words) to visit the big rainbow.

…she knows that she has her very own rainbow helping to guard and take care of her home every day, that’s so special…:love:…and all for only $9, as you say…

[Benjamin]

This was yesterdays activity

[Mystic Mock]

Our local Popshelf has all its inflatable sprinklers on significant markdown because they're already getting in Halloween stock :skull:... so what did I buy? A giant 6ft rainbow... for $9, because why not...

It was a little work to inflate. We inflated it on my husband's birthday but we've had it up for a day or so. So when I walk by the back door/window and I look out, there's now this giant rainbow sitting there and every once in a while our pups run through it to chase squirrels. It's very amusing.

I'm thinking about going back and picking up another one because in-laws are flying in later in the year so may send it up to my child's cousins for their Christmas... which won't be used until next year, but yeah.

It's got a lot of colour to it, which is refreshing to see that designs like that are still around in a sea of beige.:laugh:

Earthquake of magnitude 6.1 strikes western Turkey, disaster authority says

Aug 10 (Reuters) - An earthquake of magnitude 6.1 struck western Turkey on Sunday, the country's AFAD disaster management authority said, while local media said the quake was felt across multiple provinces.
AFAD said the quake occurred at around 7:53pm local time in the Balikesir province, near Turkey's biggest city Istanbul, but there were no immediate reports of casualties or damage in any of the affected provinces.
Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya said on X that emergency teams from AFAD had started inspections around Istanbul and the neighbouring provinces but that no negative reports had come through so far.
AFAD said the quake struck at a depth of 11 km (6.8 miles), while the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) registered the earthquake's magnitude at 6.19 and a depth of 10 km.

Well, this morning was supposed to be a trip to the dentist for littles but she's been puke-y for some reason. Husband had just told me that he thinks he has a sinus infection... anyway, I thought maybe it was a one off this morning since it was just a spit up but she full on vomited on the way to the dentist after we got something for her stomach. So when I took her in, I let them know and we rescheduled... then I told her "Well, I guess you'll just have to lay in bed and watch Clifford all day then" and she goes "O-KKKKkkk" (As in "Fiiiiine)... the dude that was waiting in the dentists almost lost it...

She's been cute all morning, but definitely very snotty. Otherwise seems to be fine.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Nice, that'll help your lawn with heat stress and recovery. Hopefully you won't get too many weeds though.. we had multiple storms a week across a good part of the summer and there's parts of the lawn I'm still working on that I had to go up a lot crab grass because storms were constant... I maybe only had to water 2 or 3 times across the season... very abnormal...

Yes, it does feel good to be productive! I have visitors from Ireland coming today so I'm doing a bit of a refresh partly due to that. I still have one curtain to do today and two loads of laundry, I want to clean the back splash in the kitchen with a magic eraser. I might also replace the silicone around the bath because it is discoloured but that might wait for another day as it is clean, just not aesthetically pleasing.

I'm sorry to hear that, Glenn. My grandfather passed not long ago and was also in nursing. I used to take short roadtrips to visit and really miss those trips. I think about those trips everytime you post about your Nan. He is now free from pain and dementia. I am so glad you were able to make the most of your time and get your chances to see her. You will certainly cherish that for the rest of your life and they will live on through the stories you are able to tell of them.

All summer long wasps, around 2 or 3 a day have been getting into my
bathroom from behind my sink, there has to be a nest in the eaves or vent duct
or something - so every day i have to get them into my toothbrush water cup
and then launch them out of the top window to freedom, sometimes they are
on the window sometimes on the floor - so im just back and i had to get one on
the floor - earlier one was on the window when i was having a shower - i check
the shampoo bottle as one or two have been on there and iv nearly grabbed
one. I only got stung once under the arm and it itched for 4 days. They will all
be dead in the next few weeks :spin:

That happened to our HVAC vent. The AC man went to open up the pipe to check it for blockages and a well-toasted nest fell to the bottom. Almost cost us $1000 or at least a very annoying DIY job.

There's a few nests I keep knocking down and they just keep rebuilding. I'm afraid they'll get into the vent again. Thankfully they're docile papers so they don't really seem to care about anything. They just have high very work ethic and so remain unbothered by my attempts to stop them.

They don't usually go dormant until November for us, though...

I just destroyed a ton of weeds. Getting cooler here so lawn is holding more moisture so I dropped my mower deck a notch. Still feels carpet-y :love:

I volunteered at a Food-Bank yesterday.

[Maru]

Yesterday because I had murdered portions of the yard, I thought to myself "oh I feel so good... I'm so glad I didn't have allergies after that".. cue this morning... I wake up after dreaming I had trouble breathing and so had to double up on allergy meds and hit my inhaler after not having needed it for months.

Yeah, next time masking up because I'm not even done.

It's possible I'm getting a sinus infection because husband has been fighting one and off and several people I know have gotten them, so it is getting around. Hard to say. I've felt bad enough to think that and then the next day be perfectly fine (by comparison).


That said, this meme made me feel happier:

I woke up really early this morning because I'd worked late the night prior and so my sleep is a little messier. Glad I did. Got to enjoy some nice chill temps in my backyard before it gets hot for the day.

Bought some dried lavender and lavender oil for today. I had bought lavender tie bags that I was going to add vinyl to and decorate. Because I had a few, I thought I'd take some and turn them into scented bags for sleeping (greatly timed) and possibly gift one to MIL as she is a big traveler.

I woke up really early this morning because I'd worked late the night prior and so my sleep is a little messier. Glad I did. Got to enjoy some nice chill temps in my backyard before it gets hot for the day.

Bought some dried lavender and lavender oil for today. I had bought lavender tie bags that I was going to add vinyl to and decorate. Because I had a few, I thought I'd take some and turn them into scented bags for sleeping (greatly timed) and possibly gift one to MIL as she is a big traveler.

Love scented lavender bags for sleeping.

Woke up late, didn't have time to do all my work, went to keep fit, came home finished work, dropped my son off at a course he is doing, went to Morrisons, came home, Mr C gave me a cup of tea, took Tilly back into the City for a walk and to pick up the boy, came home sorted out the freezer, argued on TiBB, now about to cook dinner...
