    Those who have sunshine, please get out in it today, even if it's just a walk to the end of the road or sitting in the sun with a drink. It will do you good. The inside stuff can wait! (Obviously make sure you don't get sunburn!)

    Please do all slip slop and slap the lady is right. Have just had a mole removed and makes you think!

    valli I am going to have to go off on tour now and find out what you have been up to with the MCP.:rotfl:

    Afternoon lovely ladies

    Was up late last night trying to finish my mums photobook so had a bit of a lie in this morning.

    Have so far today
    • Had breakfast in the garden (and we have the parasol up too)
    • balked at the white wall we started yesterday as this morning it was sooo bright (think OH might moan at us when he gets back on Tuesday)
    • Showered & dressed
    • Quick shop for fruit on offer and a few other bits n pieces
    • Coffee'd at 11
    • Been down to allotment and watered greenhouses
    • Spent anoth 1 1/2 hrs Weeding the other of the strawberry bed and watered them too, they certainly perked up for a bit of water
    Am back an updating before we start something else. DS has actually said to me that we need to clean up as its getting nasty :eek: but DD hasnt even noticed as she creates most of it eg fruitfest remains - banana skin on floor beside sofa, satsuma peel beside plant pot, apple core on the shelf by the DVD player and a half eaten apple beside the armchair. Do I congratulate her on eating the fruit or winge at her for leaving the remains :confused:

    Anyway dilemma as to what to do now - it would appear to be criminal to stay indoors today with not a cloud in the sky but DS is keen, think I'll ponder while I munch some lunch

    Oooh this is so cool! My static internet cable is long enough, my laptop power lead is long enough. I am now sitting in the garden on the bench by the picnic table, with the laptop on the picnic table under the sun parasol typing away to you lot!

    Now I know it can be done, I suspect I shall be reporting from the depths of my garden every sunny day now!

    I can also write my book out here!

    This really is cool!

    I got myself some tobacco plants yesterday and put them in so hopefully they will smell nice in a few weeks.
    oooooooh Polly I hope they are not whacky backy plants!!!! and if they are they will smell 'nice':rotfl::rotfl:

    greenbee - I am glad you had such a good day - do we get to see the hat? I wont be able to do the vibes this evening as I will be in company so why dont we make it tomorrow - you pick a time -I have no plans for anypart of tomorrow. and I will be able to rest as required. I think of it as a yucky brown colour!!!!
    grateful I think thats what appeals to me about becoming a budhist is the simplicity of their lives. but you are right I dont have the equipment to be a monk:rotfl:

    FIL has put my stepladder in the garage and OH has the keys :mad: No windows for me today!
    I should think not either - not in your present condition and you shouldnt be up ladders on your own anyway!!! Bad girl:rotfl: REST!!!!!
    rosepink put down that icecream - too much sugar in it - it will only make you feel better for a short time and the sugar will just add to your mushy feeling - get yourself up and dressed and go outside - thats an order!!!!:D
    aunty crafty - yes very rude :p- the list will still be there - have a lovely walk.
    kazm you could work outside in the sunshine and leave them to do the inside :confused:
    I know i am late back from reporting about my HHC - I was just finished it when I had 2 phone calls and since then i have been a bit sidetracked.

    In my HHc I did the rubbish, put the WM on (ready to go out now), put stuff in the DW and cleared all the worksurfaces ready to be properly cleaned.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
