    The bathroom was doing it's best to act all nonchalant and invisible so I snuck up on it!

    Just having a restorative cuppa. I've decluttered a small part of the garden and keep going to the bin (in the front garden) to throw things away - the frequent trips, of course, don't have anything to do with the fact that there's a big fire engine parked outside and the occupants are chatting to the ex-fireman across the road ;)

    good afternoon all, haven't caught up from yesterday between the rugby and the pooter playing up, I gave up!!!!
    Hope you are all well and (((hugs))) to those who need/want.
    OH cooked a lvely roast beef dinner for 9 between working on the front garden and I have washed dishes from 4 of the dinners!!!!
    Thanks Toots for my butterfly although if you looked at the LR today, no-one would think it had been touched in weeks!!! I dusted and hoovered twice yesterday and once today, but the dust is everywhere. Not going to mop today as I need new mop heads which I will get tomorrow and do it all again.........
    Going to chill now in front of the box and will pop back to catch any gossip duting the Ad's...............

    Afternoon all,

    Study all done - well as much as i can do think i am going tohave to take a hit on the assignment as i just cant get my head around part of it and its due on wed...

    Spent 2 hours in the garden just basic tidying and trying to work out where we start - everywhere either has hedge or tree roots, what flower beds there were have been trashed as we have removed all the big conifers, anyway made a start on a small bed out front cleared out all the old heathers and conifers have left the bulbs in and planted out some wild primroses which came from my uncles farm. Its a very small step but can be seen out the front window so i feel like progress has been made.

    Just having a cuppa whilst watching the rugby and will tackle some ironing in a mo.

    Soup consumed and it was yummy! Experimented again this week adding vegetarian gravy granules and a teaspoon of marmite to the mix and it was lovely! Think I'll try and recreate that recipe again next time I make it, although now I've divided it into my 5 tupperware containers for my lunches, there doesn't seem to be much there! Will just have to eat extra bread with it I guess or add something else to my lunchbox.

    Will be working Monday-Wednesday mornings only this week and have nothing else booked in yet. Looking forward to having the afternoons off even if it means less money, as I can do lots of flying with all of you and hopefully not end up with quite such a big list at the end of the week this time.

    Last lot of washing is on the line now. Just need to mop the floor when OH is out tonight at shooting as at the moment he keeps on going back and forth through the kitchen so don't want it getting muddy tracks in it.

    Question - we've got quite a small back garden and OH wants to create a shooting range in the back corner of it. I've told him that I don't want him to and he's sulking. Am I being unfair? I've told him that he can shoot at the ranges at his club but he says he wants to practice.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
