    Hanging baskets done, hubby's finished work & been collected, food all cooked & ready for fridge & freezer, washing on the line under cover as it's raining here. DW ready to go on yet again, I'm just having a rest & a cuppa & then I'll do some housework.

    Nice bright day today - just the thing for the weekend.

    Yes, I'm still revelling in having my DS and his OH nearby. I get daily phone calls and today got one where they complained bitterly that they had called round to see me and I was out! How dare I? Monday is our day off so we are going round to take them out to lunch. At last I am getting the opportunity to spoil them.

    Have spent today cooking batches of mince in the SC for the cottage pies I am doing for the drop-in tomorrow. Only the potatoes to peel and cook (for 30 people. EEEK.) and the veggie Quorn one. I thought it was the easiet thing to do because I'm not going to be there for long and this will be already to pop into the oven. I'm having a rare Sunday evening off and going to hear Aled Jones and a 100 strong choir - in a marquee, bet it pours with rain.

    Right. Off to start the marathon potato-peeling session.

    Thanks LW I'm so glad his eye is fine! Will need to keep an eye on his squirrel chasing from now on!

    Back from dinner - was so fun! And all vegan! We had a curry and I will be making it at home. Having a cuppa before a bedtime read and sleep!

    Sober on a Saturday! Not done that in a while!
