Off to sit the sun for HH with a cuppa as recommended to me by a friend on fb.
I have put the washing on the line (and that is it)The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

I may make a lasagne for dinner tonight. I have about six blocks of cheese to use up so will make a nice cheese sauce
Am I the only one who finds the touch of grey advert slightly horrid? I don't know... it has a weird vibe!
