Good Morning Saturday Birds.

Good morning! Well, I woke up to blue skies after 2 days of solid torrential rain, though how long this will last good knows! Im still unable to touch my poor toe but it isn't throbbing as much....

MrSmow  is due home today after being away since Thursday. Hopefully he will miss all the delights of Londons wonderful train/underground delays on the way home! (It can take longer to go several miles across London than to go miles up North lately!)

Going to go online later and look at buying some more bath sheets - have become a dab hand at checking the GSM( higher the number - thicker & fluffier/more luxurious the towel). So a 200GSM towel will be pretty thin & a 700GSM will be gorgeously thick. Can't beat wrapping yourself in a huge warm fluffy bath sheet after a bath lol.

What are we all up to today then?x

Morning Smow and all.

M&S have some lovely high thread count Egyptian cotton bath sheets.  800GSM.  We have them and they wash very well.

We are changing all our curtains to the winter ones this weekend, so it's going to be a fun time of climbing step ladders, washing the shorter curtains and lugging our enormous living room curtains to the launderette.  We know how to have a fun weekend. 

I will also be prepping the banger for the MOT and service.  Checking lights, tyre pressure, all the rest of it.  Hope the rain holds off

Morning guys! Yes I actually woke up to condensation on bedroom windows, because the temp had clearly dropped much lower outside than in. I almost put the heating on lastnight actually, but restrained myself lol.

Those towels look good barry - will have a proper look at them, you can't go far wrong with M & S!

Lovely sunny day here, what has become a normal day for us, packing boxes and cleaning.  Mr U is getting over zealous and trying to pack things I need to cook meals this week.

Out tonight with our great neighbours for an Indian, last chance we will get as they are so busy with their businesses and children.

They found our 96 year old neighbour wandering around confused yesterday, so along with the neighbours the other side of us we took it in turns to pop in to make sure he was eating and drinking.  GP has promised that emergency care will put in place today.  Fingers crossed.  I will pop in lunchtime and micro a fish pie we found in freezer.
