Had a lie in, just had some breakfast, we're about to go for a walk in the woods with the dog and then out for an early dinner and maybe a couple of drinks

I have just mended my corded hedge trimmer that i stupidly chopped the cord in half whilst
up a ladder doing the hedge. Got a reversible in-line connector from eBay for a fiver,
spliced the 2 broken ends stripped back the wires reconnected each side in plugged the
connector together and it now works!. I will cut the hedge at 5.30.

I tried to mend something too. An old pair of black jeans but I made a mess of it. Made the jeans worse. :shocked:

Just put them back in the cupboard on the landing. I'll probably throw them out at some point. :p :hee:

Met my old director and father of international footballer, friend today. He wanted to go mushroom hunting, and a trip down memory lane to our old haunts.

Fun morning, but it was to wet on the ground to spot anything. Suns out now though, so might go for a few holes.

Did the food shop and laundry. Had a nap. Now making beetroot, apple and ginger chutney. May make some tomato and habanero chutney later if I can find gloves.

…those chutneys are going to be so gorgeous around Christmas time …:flutter:…

That’s the plan. All the chutneys and cheeses :lovedup:

…I’m coming to yours for cheese and chutney on Boxing Day…:love:…I imagine most of Wales will be there as well…

Hahaha I’m not a very social person on Boxing Day. :laugh:

…that’s ok though…we’re all only coming for the chutneys…(…and cheeses…)…we’ll bring our own cocktails…

:laugh:

If there’s cocktails then of course.

Ugh I love you two [emoji175]

I'm parrying sleep at the moment.:laugh:

UPDATE:

I couldn't sleep 1am this morning so decided to have another look at those jeans I was trying to mend.

I was actually trying to stitch in a new zip, and stitch a tear. And I did it successfully this morning, finishing the job at 1.55am. :p :hee:

I could have done in quicker but the lighting wasn't good. :p But yes I am very pleased with my work. :p :hee:

Then I went back to bed. :hee:

I did it by hand too.

NO sewing machine. :p

…:love:…

….ahhhh, that must have been really laying on your mind and you must love those jeans …stitching in a new zip by hand is no small thing, as well as mending the tear…well done you…get some sleep tonight, all is well in your Jean world…:love:…

Somebody was merry last night. :laugh: :love:

…:laugh:…

…I wonder what the house renovations look like when Niamh and Gav aren’t merry at the weekends…

I may have been a little bit tipsy last night [emoji3166]

I have come up with a code for you guys to decipher.

Can you do it?

2-9-7 2-18-15-20-8-5-18

Can you tell me what that spells?

At least you didn't get into a fight like some drunks do.:laugh:

Big Brother :hee:

I'm a lover not a fighter :hee:

Yesterday on our Tilly walk we walked past the local allotment that had an open day, so channelling Ben I bought 3 pots of homemade jam, blackberry, blackcurrant and marmalade, a knitted mini hedgehog key ring, and a wooden keyring with a fox on it as Mr C has built himself a new garden shed, he used the old backdoor of the house so we already had the door and the keys but no keyrings... two slices of cherry and almond cake had a go on the tombola won nothing, and we sat and had a coffee listening to a guy playing an accordian which gave the who thing a very French country vibe, it was very lovely

this morning made bacon and egg sarnies, dropped my eldest son back home as he stayed last night, went to Aldi, put out some washing and now going to do a bit of a house clean ...go me
