    Afternoon all. One load of washing done and dried and put away, even though it's been quite cloudy.

    DD2 picked me up earlier and we went over to her flat so I could see her new guinea pigs and have a cuddle (aahhhhh) then on the way back we went into Peacocks. They didn't have much there but I did get some socks - £4 for 7 pairs, second pack half price and DD2 had a 40% off voucher - so I got 14 pairs for socks for £3.60. My kind of price ;)

    Then back home to make a fruit cake which is cooling on the worktop, avidly watched by my dog.

    Don't know whether DH is coming back from fishing tonight or tomorrow so I've had a bacon sandwich for lunch and if he's not back by about 7pm I'll cook myself something then.

    Hope everyone's OK - off to catch up.

    summermoon, how sad, hugs for you. My laptop keyboard has gone too - I suggested plugging in a spare keyboard we have, DH said he'd rather chuck the laptop...I will talk him round no doubt!

    I've done much less than planned. Made the soup for lunch which was yummy and DH nipped to Mr S for some bread etc. I'm now going to attack the list. By the time I post again I hope to have crossed lots off!

    Is froddy away? Haven't seen her today!

    Afternoon Everyone. Im having a CBA day and not much done. I have been to Mr As though and lunch is busy cooking. Just feel like chilling today.

    So bedroom and spare room are waiting till they next come round. I am planning on doing some of the kitchen later as Im going to put a quiche in. So might as well do bits while in there.

    I have been for my walk around the lake as I thought the fresh air might help. That makes about 8 mile Ive walked in two days.

    Put towels in.
    Clean washing been put away.
    Make quiche for work.

    Lady L Big hugs, Im thinking of you.
    JustaMum Big hugs for you and OH. Sending positive healing thoughts for your MIL.
    serena Hugs for you and your mum. Glad to hear she is ok.
    Summermoon Big hugs for you and your friends family. That is so sad.

    ooh
    couldn't get on the pc earlier so went upstairs, changed into tat and have
    re dug the already worked end of the veg patch
    lifted the polysheet (I'm trying to kill couch grass) and then replaced it
    moved a baby froggy (aah)
    moved the compost bin and refilled it, turning all the compost and mixing it well (sawdust in there from pet cleaning) it should be ready by the end of the summer
    hauled almost all of the Valerian out of the side border at the front of the house- I have sedums; bluebells (they were there when I moved in) and my beautiful, voluptuous peony plants and doing well (if Nigella Lawson were a plant she would be a peony) and well as wygelia and hebe and cyclamen and evening primroses and lovely stuff - and a right miserable rhododendron!
    oo me back!

    afternoon everybody
    bright but windy here - but not warm enough to be outside.
    ..yes, forgot to mention they come with a Yorkie, which my kitten Screamy delights in stalking/slapping/generally terrorising.
