catfan 14,793 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Had a gentle stroll in to Woodthorpe Park this morning with Mrs C, plenty of dog owners throwing balls for the dogs, enjoyed "dog watching" ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Sergei loves loo and kitchen rolls, as do many of the other Moggies but you wouldn't find the rolls of much use when their claws had finished with them! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 So does my rotten Beagle if he gets half a chance. . Have to watch him at night. Leave a bathroom door open and he'll go and pull Kleenex out of the trash. Gross! I'm afraid he'll get plugged up one of these days. He's his own worst enemy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 I'm sure Bailey would never dream of doing anything like that. He's a good boy. I'm so glad you adopted him. Bet he is, too! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,424 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yes, he's doing great, Jill. we have to be careful we don't show him more favour than Jake. Don't want to make Jake feel inferior. We love 'em both. Jake is just more of a handfull, (translation.....Pain in the rear ) Wouldn't swap him though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did you ever do Chequers Buttress on Froggat, Oz? Think it was my favourite climb. Also loved Catwalk at Wildcat as it was my first climb and the view was amazing.

PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted March 22, 2020 Report Share Posted March 22, 2020 Had the two pigeon eggs fried on a slice of fresh bagette for lunch. Hope the cats bring in a few more this evening. Out on the garden all day and watching our 2 great grandchildren on the trampolene in the sunshine - brilliant 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was my first climb in my new Cletts Masters climbing shoes, thought I was the bees knees but the climb was a real struggle and I came off a number of times. Then Joe climbed it, he looked like he had a ladder propped up against the rock face, made it look so easy. The other was at Black Rocks Cromford, the Railway Slab, the challenge there was to climb it in normal hiking boots, it was a doodle in Cletts but a bit of a bugger in hiking boots.

PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 No pigeon eggs delivered by the cats today - just one mouse but I won't be eating that! Thank goodness for this nice weather - back on the garden all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,217 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 That's it Affer "Right Hand Unconquerable" Never met Don Whillans but he, Joe Brown and Chris Bonnington were among the finest rock climbers in the world. Unfortunately Don died relatively young. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 We've just done a bit of gardening together - only about an hour - but it was really good and it's sunny as well. I told Paul this is what retirement SHOULD be like - no rushing and not having to go out anywhere. Wonder if I'll still be saying that in 12 weeks time ....... Anyway, even if 'it' gets us when we emerge from our isolation, at least we'll have had a few months of proper retirement with each other. Love it... We get regular communication from our kids and the youngest grandchildren. The latter are being kept inside for a sort-of home schooling, which they are really enjoying at the moment. They started the day with a keep fit session on the internet, which looked fun ...Their mum filmed them and forwarded it to us. After that they were doing some work sent home from school, a bit of model making, then lunch. I think it was going to be baking a cake after lunch. Luckily their mum can work at home for some of the time... and dad gets home around 4pm so he can take over the primary childcare. They are really sensible children most of the time and there's always their tablets to keep them amused! Usually we go over to their house for some days in school holidays, but of course we can't do that now as we are staying at home. I'm missing that ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Hiya Margie, just noticed your post. I realise it's not the correct thread, but thought I'd let you know, Wroxham holiday is off ! The company sent me an email to say as of 10.00am today, they were closing until at least April 30th. So I'll have to give you a rain check on the coffee. Maybe next time. Take care.x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Thanks for confirming that... we presumed you wouldn't be going x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 Didn't have any choice. We're stuck indoors, down here in Lewes Leper colony. Just waiting for our orange boiler suits with numbers on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Bugger ....... Hoping for a early morning text saying “Don’t come in” apparently I’m a key worker, whatever that is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waddo 921 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 You've got to open up, so that the rest can get in to work !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PeverilPeril 3,268 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Worried about our son and eldest grandson who are both key workers. Son is a teacher and having to go in to look after the deprived kids. Grandson drives an ambulance and got two young kids waiting for him to bring the virus home! It also means that our immediate family cannot help us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,497 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 In our neighbourhood there are dozens of houses with teddy bears in the windows, us included, we’ve got 3 including 70 year old Ted. A neighbour with young children has paintings of rainbows as well. This gives families something to search for when out for their daily constitution. It’s a lovely idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
