What I am up to today

Hi everyone,
Well the sunshine didn't last long yesterday here in Wales and overcast once again with warnings of heavy rain and even hail in some places, hardly summer weather, until now we have been fortunate to have just showers. Paul and I did plan to go to Cardiff but will make it another day when the weather is better. I didn't have such a good night sleep woke several times with arthritis and other things playing up but there are others a lot worse off so I count my blessings. I popped out in the garden, as usual the bees very busy especially on the lavender I had my mobile phone in my pocket so decided to take a snap but quite difficult as they are so quick going from stem to stem, one of these days I must get them uploaded onto the computer but never got round to learning how, Paul has done in the past for me. I captured some lovely butterfles when we visited the butterfly farm plus an unusual colour one resting not seen before in our garden.
I spent some time earlier downloading the rest of updates needed for my pc then jotting down some thoughts on my notepad diary, before doing my note for checking in on Forums and in doing so my thoughts gone up in prayer, hope you all have a good day.
Well that is about it.
Blessings Elaine.

Hi Everyone,
I was up with the birds once again this morning after a early night. We have sunshine in Wales, not warm enough for your bathers to catch some rays here, I notice some online speaking of being too hot to step outside other parts of the world. It seems we had best part of summer earlier in the year for us in Britain, but you never know we may get an Indian summer. My thoughts are with other parts of the world experiencing loss of their homes and family through floods and earquakes.
I was very tired yesterday so didn't spend much time online and this morning spent a little time sorting out my PC doing some updates, there are still more but I prefer to do a system restore point add just a few at a time which makes it easier to find out which need deleting if I encounter any problems.
I keep getting a pop up to restart my computer for them to take effect but wanted to also do a little searching on my Photobucket and whilst I was at it either moved, deleted or renamed some.
Just going to post this around Forums then get on with the daily's.
Whatever your plans have a good day.
Blessings
Elaine.

Hi Everyone good morning,
We had rain overnight but the sun has broken through although a very cloudy day here in my part of Wales. I watched the news and and my usual RevelationTV God channel before turning on my PC with a pleasant interruption of phone call from Steph early this morning when we made final arrangements best time for Paul and I to visit later, to fit in with her plans of taking the little ones out. It was a good drying day for laundry yesterday as long as you had storm pegs many places suffered wind up to 80mph, the raspberry bushes took a bit of a battering also the bean's poles which needed securing. It looks like another good drying day so a bit more in the machine. Fran rang to ask some advice on her Fressia's if they would get a second flush if she cut them and decided to pick some from her garden to grace her house, one of my favourite flowers which I have never had much success in growing and probably as we do not always get such encouraging weather here in Wales usually.
With so much activity going on of 3 birthdays close together in the family, plus visitors etc., have only have had time to take a quick look at the Today list in Forums to keep up to date what is happening with our online buddies and do some daily posts, hopefully today can catch up with some mail.
Whatever your plans may you have a great day.
Blessings
Elaine.

Hi All good afternoon,
We had a good downpour of rain overnight which was much needed in my part of Wales for the gardens. Speaking with my daughter who is in West Wales, said: it had rained all last week her part. It has been a busy time for me with family matters and probably due to having so much happening have been in quite a lot of pain, my back and knees etc., still playing up but thankfully today my shoulders are not feeling as bad so able to spend some time writing up to post around Forums, I had popped in to take a look in on the Today list but needed to pace myself.
Yesterday caught up with copy pasting to update on my site, and had not done my Today post for 6 days, so making an effort to let all know have been thinking of you.
Just got back from the shop and Doctors for Paul and making it a priority to get on notepad my checking in post. I had saved tags made for me to my PC but not had the time as yet to get them into my photobucket so hopefully will be able to get that done soon.
Thanks to the good weather Ethan's birthday party which was held in the garden, went well with plenty of games and fun, apart from the little ones racing through the house with ice-cream and up the stairs leaving a trail before they could be caught in time. My Son Paul's birthday in a few days time and am I glad not the age where I have to organize anymore, it was just a pleasure to be a helper to Steph shop for things for the goodie bags, where Paul and I helped to stuff for boys and girls.
Plenty more to say but had a visitor so took time out for a little while and now just to end up, hope everyone has a good day.
Blessings Elaine.
