Back from a poor car booting, it started to rain at about 7am to 8am then again 10am to about 10.30am or so, it was cold as well, so the folk stayed away, I was back home by 1pm.
Unpacked the car, cleaned and hoovered the inside of the car, as some of the plants fell over!
Watching grand prix.
4 more ebay sales today, which is a suprise as there were no bids last night, best get wrapping some of these items of interest ready to post once they are paid for.
MrsB~~ I not sure if you need hugs or not, but if you want some one to yell at, pm me!
BB~~ rolling in seaweed is good for the coat!
