Bit quiet tonight

[Oola]

I guess you must all be either entertaining, busy, watching X Factor or have much more interesting lives than me! :)

Having a good weekend? I spent most of today sucking up leaves from the lawn. With a special leaf blower (that vacuums too) of course. Not down on my hands and knees with a bendy straw!

Tomorrow we might nip out to eat some cake, and I want to get my bulbs planted in. Got some work to do and lots and lots of housework, bah humbug. It's a rock'n'roll lifestyle for me!

Entertaining is the word Oola! With sis visiting, things are a bit hectic. :eek: Your weekend sounds quite peacefull and quiet - I envy you! :)

Hi Oola, have just come back from singing in Cartmel Priory,the choir I belong to join with other choirs and do a pre-christmas concert --always held in the 11th century Priory-- We have been rehearsing since 1.30,concert/service 5pm and home by 7pm.Dinner,then on here to see whats been going on,oh and I'm watching Casualty at the same time!

[Crocus]

Hi Kate, I love choir music and singing in a choir very much! I hope you enjoyed every minute of it and I wish I could come and listen to your performance! I joined a choir quite a few years back, and enjoyed it so very much!

[Oola]

I'm waiting for something I'm selling on eBay to go...it's doing well so far which is great. About 10 mins left so here's hoping I get a really good end price!

[sheddie]

Did it sell Oola and did you have a good result?I must start to get some things on again, but it's very time consuming don't you think and all that measuring, weighing and packing.I preffered a good local auction myself, but most have disappeared.

I was out last night at my parents as my Sister and her hubbie were over for the weekend. We had a HUGE tea (I'm still fat and full!), made plans for christmas, drank plenty and generally had a good time. This morning we're back to work on the house, plaster boarding the landing ceiling then demolishing the hall one. Oh well as one goes up another comes down!

[Crocus]

Hi, love the "I'm still fat and full"! I think it is a general feeling sometimes!

[Katelb]

Hi Crocus,yes I did enjoy it,it was hard work because sevral of the things we sung were new to us and so we had to concentrate really hard to learn them in the space of a couple of hours! Our next concert is Nov.21st and we are given supper as well!! that is organised by the local Methodist church where we rehearse each week. Next visit to Cartmel Priory is next March for Stainers Crucifixion if everything works out ok.

[Katelb]

Oola,did your sale on Ebay go through as hoped for?

[Crocus]

Hi Kate, we performed a Passion Play when I was still part of this choir many years ago, and we rehearsed late into the evenings! Most, most enjoyable, and I wish I could do it again.

Well, yesterday, I had my grandchildren around and we made ginger and orange biscuits.....loads of them. When they cooled, the girls decorated the biscuits with silver and pink balls, sugar flowers, and stuff that looked like beads you could thread. So that's where I was last evening!! I was exhausted but had a great time.

[Crocus]

The wonderful joys of being granny!

Hope you did well with your e bay item Oola also hope the bulbs got put in not a bad day for doing it but bit cold. Good luck for tomorrow.

The biscuits sound lovely sunflower bet you had lots of fun making them with your grandchildren.

Well I've been away on a rag rug making course,2 day sessions at Rosemoor RHS Garden. I can now prod and hook (after a fashion), also learnt how to use a peg loom and knit with T shirt material. I've planned out a rug, hessian supplied so no excuse now. Don't like just sitting in the long winter evenings.

[Crocus]

Sounds like a very interesting hobby Lily!

[sheddie]

I remember having a rag rug at home when I was a child, i really love them.Hope you're going to enjoy making yours.

[Oola]

I didn't get the bulbs in!!!!! ARgh! Hopefully this week.....again....

the eBay item went quite well, helps to pay the bills and all this month! The guy will receive it tomorrow, hoping that he'll like it and give me good feedback. Thing is, I forgot that I'd left a song on there that I'd recorded of myself singing....it's in amongst the 164 odd songs lol. How embarrassing!!!!

[sheddie]

Do you sing anywhere regularly Oola and what type of songs do you sing?

[Crocus]

My goodness Oola, and here we are not even knowing about your other hidden talents!
Sing, girl, sing! :cool:
