    Hello again all

    Thanks everyone for the kind words. The accident put aside any further thoughts of flying during the week so no full list being posted, just my little bits from today. I went back to work on Thursday as there was nothing much I could do and didn't want to dwell, then fell asleep just 2 hours after I got back from work! Then Fri I developed shoulder pain and in the eve BiL was round to watch cricket so didn't do anything much again.

    So, today I have:

    Stripped bed
    WMx2
    Pegged out and dried really quickly which I was surprised at as unlike the rest of the country by all accounts it's been grey and miserable looking all day here.
    half put away, left half to DH so not sure what has been done to that
    HHI
    Caught up with thread
    Been back round to parents house (I didn't drive this time!) to visit / take care of sis, made her meals, provided drinks and kept her company
    Emptied DW for sis
    Reloaded DW
    Fed birds

    That's about it, just keeping things ticking over.

    Apart from the thanks to everyone again, and also just wanted to say great news to Jojo, and you can now have a closet with that many low tops should you wish, and hope you find yourself a lovely bass too.
    Hope pigpen (or your solicitor) gets things sorted about ex being so awful, it makes me cross to think people would behave that way when it affects their children.
    neveah hope you're better soon
    Toots you'd better be done with all that furniture moving now.
    LW hope you enjoyed the show.
    And hope Valli and everyone else for that matter is having a great weekend, enjoying breaks, and anything else they've been up to.

    Off to bed now, night all!

    Morning all

    Yes it is stupid o'clock.

    I got up to get the fan from DS3's room as I was too hot and dropped the metal base on my ankle. Added to the 'O' pain I was already suffering it has not aided sleep so I'm now having tea and catching up down here.

    According to the weather our heatwave will end today which will be very welcome.

    If I can walk later my main plans for the day are:

    [STRIKE]Hang last blind - it is all ready to go up[/STRIKE]
    Finish sugar soaping french doors
    [STRIKE]Go to the camping shop for a mega cool box[/STRIKE]
    book CP and eurotunnel
    HHI
    [STRIKE]Black wash[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Wash baseball hats
    Water tubs - I might do that soon as it is light now[/STRIKE]
    Bit of hand sewing/labelling

    DH has said he will do DS3's cricket match which will be nice for them as I've done all this year's matches. DS1 got another half century yesterday plus bowled 2 wickets and took a catch.

  • Another one up at silly o'clock...

    Have read my mag from cover to cover in peace - absolute bliss! Quick coffee then I think a HHG whilst its cool, then on with my usual Sunday routines.

    See you all later, and take care in the sun or rain as appropriate!

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
