Project 365 week 33

Sunday

It rained and rained and rained and rained.......heavily all night. Getting to work was dodgy and then approx 100 yds from the entrance the road was flooded. There was one car stuck in the "puddle" and a few people trying to push the car out, they were thigh high in the flood. A few people drove round gingerly across the pavement slowly through it but myself and many others decided to divert round approx 3 miles to get to the the other side of the puddle and into work. The diversion route was not exactly a picnic to drive with a lot of lying water and a lot of oncoming traffic from the night shift trying to avoid the flood and get home. Many roads locally were flooded affecting public transport. worst I have seen it here in years.
Only a single shift and work so home to do some knitting and ride the exercise bike.
Typical we got a garden tap fitted a few weeks back save having to use next doors, not that they mind but a pain getting through the gate, and have not needed to water the garden since.




Monday

Dropped hubby and dog off for their walk to friends house and picked them up later on.
Another ride on the bike and walk the dog round the park.
Picked up a few bits on the way home including a new door mat, spotted one at an all right price. There were nicer designs but they were more expensive. my shoes do not care what design is on it.




Tuesday

Dropped hubby and dog again for their walk to friends house. I went back to friends after wards while him and friend went to cut aunties grass for her. Took my knitting and my kindle to keep me amused while they were away.
Home and cooked one pot mince and tatties for tea with enough to do Thursday and froze some for another night.Love mince and tatties and this is such an easy way to do it for when needing to be reheat.
A cycle and a walk with the dog after tea.





Wednesday

Picked friend up on the way back out the town as he was going to walk the dog later on when I went to join in with an organised bike ride.
Enjoyed the bike ride, approx 8 miles some on roads and some on cycle paths. Dropped friend back at home and went for a Chinese. Chicken chow mein for me and sweet and sour chicken and chips for hubby. But we mixed and matched some of each. First Chinese in a long time.





Thursday

DD2 is down with the two girls for a few days. Ziggy had fallen asleep in the car so  we went for a run around the park to help tire her out then home for some tea before bed time.
Granddad took Bob fishing and they both had a fun afternoon.



Friday

Not had much chance to do anything with the twins over the holidays between one thing and another so had seen an event advertised when we were at Whitelee last week so arranged to get the three wee ones and take them. DD2 decided to come with us. Sadly when we got there the event had been cancelled due to the weather forecast. Nothing on their website to say that but plenty other things to do there. So we had some indoor fun while Roo was getting a feed and then headed out doors to run and play and find things.



Saturday

Ziggy will be three next week and so her present is wrapped ready for mum to take away with her. A few hand made bits and pieces, one that I won over a year ago that will be handy for nursery and one I bought while in Millport that I know she will love.

  1. The rain and flooding sounds awful. We've had rain but most of it was drizzle apart from Friday.
    I got our last doormat from the pound shop for £1. My fella wanted a fancy one costing about £10 but what's the point for something you wipe your feet on. lol
    The mince and tatties looks so good and so does the Chinese.
    It looks like you had great fun with all the little one's. x

    1. I do not see the point in buying anything expensive if the cheaper one does the same job.

  2. It has been wet and soggy. Glad you still got out for the cycle ride. So annoying when places cancel but don't inform people. Ooh that chinese looks nice. Noone in my house apart from me likes chinese food, but now I really fancy some

  3. I knew it had been raining in the UK and it was a damp summer but not that heavy for roads to be flooded so badly. Lovely to have the family to visit, if we want to see our kids we have to visit them

    1. DD2 and 3 visit, DD1 who lives nearest does not as the wee ones are not dog lovers and Dixie not a toddler lover, though she is much improved with Ziggy.

  4. I saw that the weather got even worse after we'd left Scotland! Such a shame that places had to cancel events :( #project365

  5. The rain and flooding has been so bad these last few weeks. The rain is constant. I am sorry to hear it was so bad. I am not a mince fan, but the chinese looks nice. Glad you had fun with the little ones xx

  7. I don't think the weather got the memo! It is meant to be Summer. I think you did the right thing avoiding the flood. I like the new door mat. I can not remember the last time I went for a Chinese either, could be trying to find one this week now! Glad you all had a great day out despite the fact the event was cancelled. Its naughty when they do that.

  9. Gosh sounds like you have had a lot of rain.

    I don't understand getting an expensive door mat....when it is just going to get dirty! I like your's!

    The chinese looks good and hope Ziggy has a lovely birthday.

  10. The flooding sounds awful, hope the last week was dry. Baby Roo looks so cute in her bonnet on a swing.
    Not sure I'd want to eat chow mein with chips, sorry, but it did make me smile.

  11. Nice way to spend the week. The rain was very heavy here as well on Monday although there was only one huge puddle I had to cross to get too college
