            Just watched tennis and did a bit of ironing.
 Was really hoping Andy Murray was going to turn it round- maybe next time.
 Hubby out early this morning so I have been pottering about the house doing bits and pieces. Need to clear all junk off table and then start some cross stitch .
 House looks quite tidy so will start again tomorrow on new list.
 Have a good Sunday.

 I need visual stimulation to iron. Usually have dancing on ice on and timing wise I expect it will be that. I'll do more later in the week with ski sunday on.
 It is the RSPB birdwatch weekend so for anybody fancying sitting and staring out of the window for an hour now is a legitimate chance The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0
