What are you all up to

A busy day. There new bathroom is finally installed following the arrival of the loo today. There'll be a reduction in my daily steps though as I shan't have to keep trekking downstairs in the night!

Caught bus into town to buy 40th birthday present for DD. Stella by McCartney. I almost made the mistake of a six pack from that other purveyor.

Managed to arrange some travel insurance at a realistic price through the bank and then spent the remainder of the afternoon painting the bathroom door frame. All in all a good days work.

"Caught bus into town to buy 40th birthday present for DD."

That [Deleted User User]'s been lying to you about his age, CY! 

But it should be fun to see him in the McCartney outfit.

Waved goodbye to Nellie and Mrs NTH this morning. It was grand seeing them again.

Took ourselves off to Chevin CP, sitting above the town of Otley, for a stroll and to admire the views across towards Simons Seat above Bolton Abbey and Almscliffe Crag near to our CL. Wonderful weather. Dropped into Otley for an hour afterwards then home for coffee before setting out again up the lanes to aforementioned Crag to take some photos that Mrs WN wants for tonal drawings. Saw a Barn Owl working the road verges further on towards the village of Stainburn. Lovely sunset. Can understand DKs comment about Spring but we are wise to the weathers ways!

Bakers2, Good to hear that your OH has his operation planned for Wednesday. I hope his transfer went as planned today and that all goes well.  I am sure it will be an anxious week for you both but he is in good hands.  Hopefully you will soon have him back home with you and he can start his recovery.  Good to know also that you had company over the weekend.  It must have given you a lift to have your son and grand-dog with you for a few days and also that you felt well enough to get some household jobs done today. I will be thinking of you during this coming week, as I am sure will lots of others on here.  Keep us posted when  you can.

It was great to see you both again. Sounds as it you had a good day without us, shame!!

Easy drive up to CC's White Water Park site today. Only about 30 vans at the moment, and the surprising thing, having read lots of post about how popular Serviced Pitches are, is that none were occupied when we arrived and only 1 has a caravan on tonight!! Found out that there's a rally on site this weekend but we managed to select a pitch at the other end of the site from the pitches allocated to them.

Glad that you've managed to sort out your insurance, CY, and that your new loo's in place.

Best Wishes to B2 OH, JVB and not forgetting David DSB

Just has a very nice phone call confirming another CL booking. Owners are at present up at Braemar on a short trip to take in some skiing. Wonderful things these diverted calls are!! 

For the avoidance of doubt, DD referred to No. 1 daughter not our resident Carthago champ. He, i imagine would prefer Artois to McCartney.

That's ok, it raised a smile.  Hope your daughter enjoys her birthday. 

Frosty start to the day here, OH left before 7am to go fishing, brrr.

Visiting dog arriving later in the day for a couple of overnight stays, daughter coming here for a meal tonight. Trying to use my indoor time to clear some things out. Took some stuff to the charity shop yesterday but defeated the object by buying some old wine glasses from the same shop! 

‘Twas ever thus with charity shops brue! 

I am off to do more wallpapering today, hopefully get it finished. We are doing it for Mum’s 90th birthday, brand new bedroom, but some of her lovely old furniture. All labelled up so she can find things. She’s chosen most of the things, was a fabulous painter and decorator in her more mobile years. Taught us all sorts of little tricks. Good to be sharing a little project with her. 

MH has just rolled off drive for some new tyres, so will need a good wash and polish, inside given a polish and then all set to roll for our next trip. It’s been a lovely sunny day here so far, but cold at night. If it stays dry, I might cut our lawn tomorrow, then I can rake out a bit of moss and feed it.😁
