    Morning all

    The sun is out today thank goodness! so washing on the line and the dog's throw and rug are in the machine now.

    I've generally tidied round and I've made a victoria sandwich which is on the cooling tray waiting to be jammed. One lot of washing up done and I'll do some more after the jamming.

    Hope everyone's OK :)
