    Posting on my phone - so i apologise in advance!!
    Not much flying again today :o The bins have been emptied & put out, kids dispatched to school. I have taken Little Miss Sunshine on a nature walk with the dog. We also took a dolls buggy (big mistake!). We saw a rabbit & ducklings, bees & ants, & heard a cuckoo :) We had a picnic in the rain!
    I am off on my 1st school pick up in a mo. Need to wash up when i get a chance.
    Catch up later :D

    Poop. All good intentions... (road to hell and all that) But... I had a steroid injection in my heel earlier. *OUCH* Anyway, there I was about to start the kitchen, when the local anaesthetic wore off. :eek: :eek: Hmmmm, I'm sitting back down. No list doing for me. :( Grandma is doing the school run. *stays firmly on bottom* :D
