Work.

nonperson 04-04-2020 12:53 PM

Rubbish. =( Time for more Disney+ and crocheting?

chinahorse 04-04-2020 12:56 PM

This afternoon. Only 5 mins till lunch so not enough time to do anything really.

nonperson 04-04-2020 12:59 PM

That's something to look forward to later then. And also not long to wait til lunch. What's on the menu today?

chinahorse 04-04-2020 01:03 PM

I have red pepper,baby plum tomatoes,a carrot, sweet chili hummus and a pitta.

nonperson 04-04-2020 01:05 PM

Sounds nice. =)

Maybe I'll add pitta bread to my shopping list.

chinahorse 04-04-2020 01:12 PM

It's my fav sort of lunch.

Have to get hummus if you get pitta though

nonperson 04-04-2020 01:25 PM

Yeah, quite agree. I'm a bit love/hate with hummus. Can't decide if I really like it or not so I don't get it very often.

chinahorse 04-04-2020 01:35 PM

Flavoured stuff is nice. The original is like wallpaper paste.

Serendipity. 04-04-2020 02:02 PM

I don't mind the original but flavoured is better!

Np, I'm a support worker in supported accommodation. But we're having to limit face to face contact so it's quiet, which is a bit sad really!

tamobhuuta 04-04-2020 02:22 PM

I love hummus. With roasted vegetables in a pitta. And falafel. Mmmm.

one_step_closer 04-04-2020 02:33 PM

Mmm...food. I had a bagel with garlic soft cheese and ham with a tomato on the side.

nonperson 04-04-2020 02:45 PM

That sounds like my sort of lunch, Lindsay.

Serendipity. 04-04-2020 02:47 PM

That does sound good!

nonperson 04-04-2020 03:04 PM

It's so hot outside. =/

tamobhuuta 04-04-2020 03:28 PM

It's just pleasantly warm here, the sunshine is beautiful.

one_step_closer 04-04-2020 03:43 PM

As is mostly usual there is no warmth or sun here.

Serendipity. 04-04-2020 03:51 PM

It's fairly grey and miserable here!

nonperson 04-04-2020 05:04 PM

In avoidance of going into the garden I have made cookies. In the oven now.

tamobhuuta 04-04-2020 05:47 PM

Was that fun np? What flavour?

nonperson 04-04-2020 05:58 PM

Not fun as such, it was more the need for something sweet and chocolatey that made me do it.

They're a very simple sort of chocolate shortbread biscuit. Bit cocoa powdery but sweet and warm and soft in the middle. =)

tamobhuuta 04-04-2020 06:01 PM

Oo delicious. L made us a non-roll swiss roll.

one_step_closer 04-04-2020 06:10 PM

I want cookies!

Did you just not roll up the sponge Tamo?

tamobhuuta 04-04-2020 06:15 PM

Basically yes!

chinahorse 04-04-2020 07:23 PM

Sounds good no.

Lol non roll swiss roll sounds odd.

nonperson 04-04-2020 07:30 PM

Like a Victoria sponge that didn't rise.

one_step_closer 04-04-2020 07:48 PM

Does upside down cake have a pineapple ring in it?

nonperson 04-04-2020 07:53 PM

Hmmmm, yes..?

*goes to ask Google*

Serendipity. 04-04-2020 08:00 PM

I really want cake now!

one_step_closer 04-04-2020 08:02 PM

I'm wondering if it's ok to go out tomorrow to stock up on cake mix. I do need other things too.

chinahorse 04-04-2020 08:06 PM

If it's part of a food shop for things you need for meals then yeh.

one_step_closer 04-04-2020 08:07 PM

I could probably wait until Monday though when I'd already be out to go to the chemist. I guess I should wait.

one_step_closer 04-04-2020 08:12 PM

I've just ordered a Nutella pizza. It's all your fault talking about cakes.

tamobhuuta 04-04-2020 08:37 PM

Nutella pizza??? Ew. I've taken to making myself curry pizza - a kind parent makes curry then I put a thin layer on a naan bread (instead of dipping the bread into curry). It makes sense to me!

nonperson 04-04-2020 09:20 PM

Nutella pizza sounds amazing. I've had chocolate pizza before (soooo good) but it wasn't nutella.

I'm not sure you can call your dinner "pizza" though Tamo. =P

chinahorse 05-04-2020 08:46 AM

Morning :-)

Blumming cat jumped off the sofa and put his paw in my fresh cuppa. So had to clean it up make a new one. and

tamobhuuta 05-04-2020 09:04 AM

Naughty kitty!

I slept really badly, turns out I forgot my meds. Duh. So facing the day much earlier than usual - been up a half hour already. What does one do before 10am? At the moment I have coffee.

chinahorse 05-04-2020 09:18 AM

I've been up since 7. Which is an hour lie in for me. I've watched half a film. Washed up. Stripped the bed and put it on to wash. Eaten food and drunk lots of tea.

Would it be worth setting an alarm to remind you to take your night meds?

one_step_closer 05-04-2020 09:21 AM

Morning everyone.

Cats!

I had to try my best to keep Crookshanks away from a friends cup of tea once because every time she put it down on the table he was up at it. She finally gave up and he kept sticking his paw in it then licking his paw.

I got up at just before 8am. Just did the usual morning dressing and breakfast etc and then came online.

Don't know if I'll go out later.

Hopefully you'll sleep well tonight Tamo.

nonperson 05-04-2020 10:05 AM

Morning. I've been up about half an hour. All I've done is move from bed to the sofa though.

Cat disappeared outside without breakfast! The sun must have been too tempting for him.

chinahorse 05-04-2020 10:24 AM

Haha bertiedoeathe paw dip and lick thing. He likes tea a lot. Have you got anything to go out for?

Slow morning are what sundays are for np.

I've now cleaned downstairs and hung up the laundry. Need to repot my house plants and not murder the cat who is wailing at me.

nonperson 05-04-2020 11:05 AM

Every day is a slow Sunday morning at the moment. =/

I have some house plant repotting to do as well. What have you got to repot, Lillie?

chinahorse 05-04-2020 11:40 AM

True.

A cactus and I think it's a gerbera? Like a big pink daisy shaped flower.

nonperson 05-04-2020 12:38 PM

Sounds like a Gerbera. They're nice and cheerful. =)

Failed big time at growing them at work once though, haha. =P

one_step_closer 05-04-2020 01:40 PM

I have some shopping to do but I'll be out getting my meds tomorrow so I should probably wait. I've seen lots of people pass my house today.

How do you know when you need to repot a house plant?

chinahorse 05-04-2020 02:07 PM

The roots grow outthe bottom of the brown pot is when I do it. Also Bertie knocks them over so there is minimal soil in the cactus.

I bet the idiots going out this weekend make ushaveeven stricter rules next week.

I'm sat on my armchair in the garden.

one_step_closer 05-04-2020 03:27 PM

That sounds nice Lillie. Are you just enjoying the sun or are you reading or something?

chinahorse 05-04-2020 04:40 PM

I mainly just dozed, have come in now to nap some more.

nonperson 05-04-2020 08:19 PM

Hope your inside nap was good , Lillie.

It's still quite warm out. I'm sitting on the back step listening to geese and watching a star twinkle.

tamobhuuta 05-04-2020 08:19 PM

Hope you had a nice nap China. I'm watching Travel Man but going to bed soon.
