  • Hi everyone!

    Had an 'I can't cope' day yesterday (think it was *that phone-call* from my Mum!), so I didn't log on and went outside in the garden instead. Planted some autumn sown broad bean plants which had been patiently waiting for me for some time.... also some garlic sets and some tiny little kale plants which I sowed several months ago and should have had in the ground long since! And I dug over 1/3 of my veggie patch where I've cleared away the remains of summer....

    Felt a bit better after that, but decided to potter in the kitchen, have a hairwash and do a few me-things (as well as the usual meal-dishwasher-homework routine once DD came in!).

    So today I'm trying to get myself going again and will attempt a few areas, but without going all-out for a star. I have my piggle-flu jab this afternoon, too, and some cooking to do for tomorrow.

    Haven't a hope of catching up with the thread, but looks like sexymouse needs some support. Hugs to anyone else who needs one, too.
