Went to church this morning, and on the way home took a photo of the place where I'm doing a MS on Tuesday - does anyone else hate photographing the places? I was using my mobile and as I held it up the blooming thing started ringing, I felt foolish as I must have looked a berk holding a phone to my eye to answer it. :rotfl:

And although I pottered in the front garden (I only removed some of the dandelions, let it not be said that I stood in the way of medical progress) the rest of the afternoon I have been cooking

I've made:
2 shepherds pies (see if anyone notices the oats :whistle:)
24 cinamon buns for my lunches -only used half the mixture, the rest has been frozen
Stuffed mushrooms
Roasted squash (for my fave risotto recipe-roasted squash and blue cheese)
Apple cake
Bread crumbs from the stale bread - some used in the mushrooms, the rest frozen
chicken stock

But what I was supposed to make I didn't do, and will do tomorrow (the buns distracted me......)
And sadly, that was the last of my apples from last year - I hope this years crop is as good.

I hope this years crop is good too Olive..nomnom.

Sounds like a productive day to me. My phone is sadly so bad and obsolete that it only rings 10 minutes after someone has phoned me. The children usually text me as it is quicker.

Homer Simpson had one with a dial :rotfl: DS1 thinks I may be better off with one of them :rotfl:My fingers are so fat I struggle with the wee buttons, I kept videoing the store......

Well DS2 came home to help lop the silver birch, and failed abysmally.:p
And it has rained so I haven't been in the garden otherwise

But I sent this to Popeye (who has been at work :rotfl:)

It is raining so I'm tidying the futility room. The space that was occupied by your tools and the odd socks collection is now occupied by beer and the Lodgers laundry ingredients - so although I've regained the work surface I haven't gained storage space......

The odd sock moutain has been attacked and now I'm going to throw away about 100 odd socks........
(There are PLENTY of pairs in our drawers;))

And I've cleaned up the cat sick in the hall and in DS2's room, emptied the vaccuum cleaner :eek: and stripped the bed ready to make it up for your mum.:D

And I've remotely sorted a computer problem that Pa was having.

And watched Kiera Knightly in Pride and Prejudice drooling over Matthew :iloveyou: MacFadyen :rotfl:

I've got 100 odd socks too - do you reckon that between us we could pair some of them up?

:rotfl::rotfl:the sock mountain has gone
(It's in a carrier bag by the front door to go to one of those rag collecting points - funny how this last step may be a step too far :rotfl:~I must not falter, I must be strong, even though it has taken YEARS to amass this collection)

I watched *Loads* of telly yesterday (probably because I should have been working through my script:o) Thoroughly enjoyed Endgame especially as I recognised so much scenery

Today I have a meeting with my boss - if he doesn't wriggle out of it, he hates confrontation and fingers crossed I'll have the confidence to say what I feel

Fingers crossed for your meeting - and I am MOST impressed with getting rid of the odd socks.
