    Its a lovely sunny day here again. Ive done an hour in the garden. The council here used to pick up the garden waste on recycling days. Now though we have to pay an extra £20 and get a garden bin. I need to sort that tomorrow. Jakes kennel has taken a battering and needs chucking. He doesnt need it now Im not working. GS1 coming later to take it round the back then it can go on next doors skip tomorrow. Noticed the front of the house needs repointing so been in touch with local contacts for a builder.

    Just decluttering a cuppa then will put clean washing away and do a couple of hotspots. Will get out for a walk again too.

    Soappie Glad you Frodders,greenbee and JJ had a lovley evening.

    I haven't been around here much as I have been extra busy.
    We had a lovely day out on Friday and DSs did all the jobs I listed for them so they deserve a star for Friday!!

    DS3 discovered a large rodent problem next door so he cleaned and I supervised. That was a massive amount of flying but not in my own house:(

    Then DH dug over my rockery and then I sat on my stool and did some gentle weeding.

    Been for a nice walk on my own this morning - love the sunshine stuff we're having today. Been to church and am off to park to help run an Easter egg hunt this afternoon. Have been flying a bit (honest) and it doesn't look too bad:jDidn't stick to the lists cos there were some big things needed doing here first, the kind that annoy me, so will start looking at some of the little things next week.
