    Excellent hungry family have just fininshed off the leftover of everything from the last couple of days - just need to get the last bits of the chicken for the cat and I'll wipe the second fridge out.

    As I have more bananas to use up I'll make a second loaf, freeze it, and give it as a donation at the NCT nearly new sale in a fortnight.

    I spent some time in the front garden cutting back the shrubs alongside the path.

    Dinner cooked, eaten, washed up and cleared away.

    Most of the washing has dried and has been put away. Just a couple of things out there and the tea towel I just hand washed because I managed to drag it in the potato fat. It might need washing again but I wanted to try to get the fat out before it set.
