    Afternoon all

    BB - I love that cottage, I want to live there! DD's can have a tent in the garden...bedrooms are over-rated.

    Braising steak and bacon cassarole in the SC smelling lovely...will pop some nice herby dumplings in later.

    Need a serious injection of energy, I could quite easily fall asleep right now which is daft after 8 hours sleep and nothing more strenuous this morning than having a shower.....My mum suggested I get tested for glandular fever :cool:

    Off to watch some naff telly and try not to doze off.

  • Got another fence panel done but it's chucking it down now.
    Nothing for it but to admit defeat and have a shower I guess. Only had 1 more to do and that would have been 1 side finished.

    Hi Pooky

    Get yourself tested...but I think it sounds like you exhaustion tbh! You have had to deal with an awful lot over the last 18 months and you have coped admirably, but there comes a time when your body starts to tell you to look after yourself.

    You need to rest when your body tells you to..:A

    Has dried up a bit here, hopefully it'll be sunny for the rest of the day. And it's meant to be sunny tomorrow too so perfect for doing bedding
