    Morning campers :) Up bright and early this morning, although I hasten to add I am not dressed yet..lol.

    Have got some washing going around in the machine, well yesterdays washing that was hung on the line and muggins here forgot to bring it in. I had taken it off the line and put it in the basket, but forgot to bring the basket in. Dh found it when he came home from work a couple of hours later, and by this time we had had the monsoon from gawd knows where..so guess what, yep washing got wet again!!! I can't imagine how I forgot it too..I blame it on the head massage the previous day..I was a bit flaky all day..lol

    I'm going to have some breakfast in a tick, then have a shower and get dressed. We are off to the Kent County Show today, which I am looking forward to. Am a bit disappointed as my friend up the road was coming with us, but she has phoned me and said she won't be coming as she doesn't fancy getting wet etc.. Somehow I knew she wouldn't be coming after I mentioned it yesterday to her..:rotfl: Still DH will be happy, he prefers it when it is just me and him at these shows, even though I do drive him nuts popping in and out of tents etc..

    Toots and Jo have a lovely day today, and we want to know all about it afterwards :)
    Welcome Tilly-Tot

    Hollyh count me in for the HHC.. must get going before DH gets back with the dogs. Ooops too late he has just walked in with two bouncy doggies..lol

    Will have to check waterbut at some point. Looks as if the 'fence man' has put it back wrong and the connection is blocked. Water sitting in gutter.
    However first job - back to optician to get new glasses adjusted - at the moment they keep slipping down my nose.
    Then (as I am half-way there) do I go to quilt shop which has a sale on today?
