Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Good morning all mascoteers .I hope all slept well and are refreshed for the new day . @anjelikaferrett I am so jealous ,I have a friend in La Caruña and always wanted to go to the Costa Verde ,maybe one day . @fandjango you are brilliant I how I wish I could paint like that .
I hope @jazzy throws off the bad luck before we play again.
Have a great day all.
Thanks it feels better today - just seems to have migrated into my shoulder!
 
Morning all bright and breezy here today. Hoping for a better day today after yesterday which started off on a rather surreal note and ended up rather stressful. After dreaming of ex brother-in - law who I haven’t seen in over 30 years we received an invitation to his daughter’s wedding in October. Later in the morning daughter rang to say her youngest was ill and could we get some Calpol for her. Dropped it off and she didn’t seem too bad just sleepy and said she had a headache. Call from daughter in the afternoon asking us to pick eldest up from school as she had been advised by 111 to go to A&E as Jessica’s headache worse and now complaining her back hurt and she felt dizzy. They returned four hours later, which, considering the hospital was rammed apparently, wasn’t too bad. They think she has a water infection which hope the antibiotics will clear up but samples have been sent to the lab to be on safe side. Text this morning to say she had slept through the night so hopefully she’s on the mend. Hoping to go to Stamford this morning on the bus, look round the market, fish and chips then home. Have a good day all.
Fingers crossed for the granddaughter Gwladys.?
 

Against 2 teams in good form , whereas Everton .................................
But we are also at home Jazz and I think the crowd will give us that extra impetus. We gave a good showing against City and, in form or not, neither of these teams are in City's class. I think we will get a result in both games, hopefully wins rather than draws. But I'd take your hand off for 4 points from then right now.
 
Morning everyone.

Quite bright and breezy here today but rain forecast later.

It's Friday so it's housework day.

If it stays dry I will do some gardening later as my back feels a bit better.

@anjelikaferrett the holiday sounds great.

@Terrarian not heard from for a while , hope that you and Daisy are OK.

@fandjango enjoy your next trip to the middle East.

Good results for us last night and loads of games in hand but we have to pick up points ourselves.
Weathers crap down here. We have a system which has plonked itself right over Cornwall and is going to stay here for the whole weekend.

I too share your concerns about T. Hope he's OK.

Going to brave the rain and the wind and pop down to the local to pick up some posh sausages, a fresh loaf and hopefully a pasty. The last 2 weeks they had already sold out so I'm in pasty withdrawal at the moment and it isn't good. lol But I'm a bit earlier today so fingers crossed. Have a good day everyone.
 

Well, success on the pasty front. Also the sun come out and the birds started singing on my way back home. All the rhododendrons, azaleas and camellias (I get mixed up which is which) are in flower and most gardens around here have some. Not sure how the timing of that compares to up where you are Jazz. The tree that overhangs my back garden is also in bud and the blossom should be out soon. I'll take a photo when it is. Really feels as though spring is on it's way which gives me a psychological boost during these troubled times.
 
Soup looks great Blue. But why have you posted a picture of a chair? is it a Chippendale or something?
No , I recovered the eight chairs and @jazzy commented when I mentioned it was a project I was starting .I suppose it was just for him really .
Funnily it is refered to as Chippendale here in Finland but it is 20th century Finnish made .They are from my wife's parents and she didn't want to lose them but they were looking worse for wear so I took them on ,they are not perfect but good enough .If we would have had them done professionally it would cost more than a new set so we bought corduroy for about 120€ and special cotton that is much stronger so you can wiggle without pulling the stitching .
Better light now :-IMG_20220311_131932.webp

Ahh. Fair enough. You've done a very professional job Blue.
 
Hello friends.

Another weekend has arrived and I'm always grateful for it. Although the weather is nothing to be excited about, it has been wet the past few days and while the temperatures have been mild, it is supposed to snow tomorrow and get to -10 so I'm going have to cover my lily's that have started to peek. I hope this cold spell doesn't ruin our spring flowering season as many trees are flowering and just like @Barnfred 55 spring feels it is getting near and I can't wait.

I read everyone's post yesterday and while I didn't post, I wanted to tell @jazzy that I'm so sorry about the bad luck you table tennis club encountered a few days ago. Maybe it will be next year when it is meant to be.

@blue1948 The mushroom soup look so delicious, have you posted the recipe? I am very much a soup fan, I prepare at least one soup per week for the family.

@Gwladysover I hope your sweet Jessica begins feeling better soon. Enjoy your fish and chips too!

@Armaghtoffee I hope the boys are listening about them showing some proper committed performance the next few matches, we need that from them so we can get in a better position on the table

@anjelikaferrett sounds like you are still having a lovely time, I look forward to you posting some pics when you get back home.

@fandjango I thought you were retired, how come you have decided to get back to the labor force? BTW, your painting was absolutely stunning and so colorful, I loved it!

@Spadge Vernacular I didn't realize your house was that old, are you sure you have no ghost? ;)

@Barnfred 55 I'm glad you are going to get a refund on the cruise, but too bad I wasn't invited to go before you canceled it lol

@Terrarian I hope you are okay, we are thinking about you.

On this Friday I'm also thinking of @larbert toffee @Ducans elbow @Bluetintedspecs @roydo and would like to wish you all a good weekend.

xxx
