    Morning all

    Pigpen, I can't make anything better but I will be thinking of you. Hope things gradually ease off over the next few weeks.

    Toots - bathroom done so that's Wednesday completed now.

    No washing today.

    Vacuumed living room and through into kitchen. The cats practised their tag wrestling last night and there was fur everywhere. I think it was a draw.

    Then I spent an hour in the garden. After cutting the grass yesterday, today I edged the front and back lawns with a spade and then trimmed with the shears. Lots of sweeping up. I don't know why I do it with my back but there you go! Also getting twinges in my elbow since yesterday, I think that was from mowing.The dog and the cats all "helped" and they are all asleep now. Oh, and I put some more copper tape round the pot with my hosta in. It's just starting to grow again. I think I can hear the slugs sharpening their teeth.......the copper tape didn't work last year but I had some left (and I'm not a quitter ;))

    Off to make a banana cake now with three very ripe bananas and then cook dinner. Back later to catch up with more posts.

    Back from the funeral, all went as well as it could. DS2 was very quiet but I know it was the right thing for him to be there.

    Maralum - hi hun, how time flies. I remember you 'leaving' and I hope the situation you had then has been resolved as best it can.

    Pigpen - thanks for sharing but like flower said you owe us nothing hun. You sure do have a plateful right now don't you. I am glad you have shoulders around to lean on and I hope you do. You are doing so well with your college (how on earth you find the time is beyond me but I so admire you) and you bring so much to others lives. I'm sure there were angels with us this morning so I'm sending one via satnav to you sweetie.

    To the hoover for me.
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair
