    Managed to eat a bit more elephant. Started writing a story that at some point I shall turn into a script. I like having something concrete to work off and this has been in my head for at least a year now.

    My day went pear shaped. Went to help friend tidy garden and fill a skip. Filled it within half an hour and then relaxed in her garden with beer.
    Now drinking water to try to sober up before another friend arrives. :o
    Not a good day.

    Bookie, sounds like a great day. You got done what you had too and then had some fun with a friend. Ideal if you ask me.

    I know but I have fences to paint, lawns to mow and jobs to do. Plus I now smell of dogs and cats! Nice day though.

    Been having horrible dreams just lately - about family members dying. The sort where I wake up, turn over and they take up where they left off. Shattered. Am I going mad?

    Kids are sorted for their dinner, they will be off to the bath soon.

    Am having a cuppa and some crackers, quite yummy. The it will be out with the ironing board, school uniforms and clothes for the week ahead. Still more to do but I do think it has been a productive weekend.

    Wonder what we'll get to eat next weekend?
