    Evening! I had dinner in the pub with the friend I car share with :D Neither of us could be bothered to cook in this heat :p And lovely it was, too!

    I am thinking of rearranging the front room somehow so the rats don't get too much direct sun - that'll take me a few HHCs tomorrow! Also need to post stuff to Flybe (who have refunded my cancelled flight cost and have asked for the receipts for the extra hotel nights :D), pick up a parcel, pay in a cheque and buy some food!

    One week til half term:rotfl:

    carlsberggal - hope you're with Danny xx

    boddy - hugs for the GS x

    Hugs and prayers for Toots, L-L and Diva :A xx

    Actually I forced myself to get through the whole of it and I found it interesting and very imaginative. Not sure the talking bits work with the singing bits, but hey ho, the video is surreal and works...

    Continued hugs to GS , Boddy xx

    Soappie, well done ;) I had to force my way through the vid first time, as I had heard it on the radio a few times and like the song but the vid doesn't seem to go with the song either, IMHO xx

    Evening all

    Spent the last few hours out in the kitchen garden, so nice to get some of the plants out of the coldframe/window ledge and into the soil. I don't like gardening in the sun so needed to wait for it to go down.

    Not achieved much flying. I did hoover and mop the kitchen floor and clean the sinks.

    Boddy I hope your DGS gets on ok with the plaster tomorrow

    Soappie good luck with the bathroom, that iis very thoughtful to do it whilst your DD is away

    Had a lovely evening outside with NNs and a couple of small glasses of rose, only briefly interrupted by making tea for DH. :D Plants watered, but I chickened out as far as the shed is concerned. I prefer to deal with sp____s in broad daylight.

    Flying planned for tomorrow morning, then a visit to MILs to drop of a container of lettuce, which I started off for her. More flying/tidying up outside, and I might be able to get hold of paint for the playhouse. It's DS2's birthday on Wednesday and I hope I can get it painted outside and clean up the inside ready to move his toys in (kitchen and tool bench). More space in his bedroom means we can finally tidy up in there over half-term. :T
    See you all in the morning.

    Is anyone else really confused by Ashes to Ashes? What happened at the farmhouse? I must have missed something crucial

    I miss all of you, going to try to be here more next week x
