  • I won't quote or use Smilies just in case but thank you everybody for all your kind words. Trying to get back into some sort of routine now after all the excitement:
    • Step class this morning. Several people have mentioned that I'm looking slimmer so that's motivated me to keep going
    • Popped into the market town after to post my sale (#wellchuffed). I hope they like it
    • Prawn and avocado mayonnaise on a baked potato with salad for lunch
    • a little admin work
    • did some filing
    • tidied and dusted the living room
    • painted a butterfly which I'll list tomorrow. I have the perfect vintage frame for it so I think it's one for the florists
    • M&S delivered the picture frames I ordered. Just need the mounting kits and hinging tape to arrive and then I can take some paintings down to the florists
    • Chard (from the garden), Tomato & Ricotta Bake from the meal plan for supper tonight. We had it a side salad with lettuce and cherry tomatoes from the garden too.
    Is it starting to feel a bit autumnal now or is it just me?

    Happy Monday all

  • Just finished reading your diary really enjoyed it I love the idea of loaves and lillies :)

    Congratulations on selling your first picture they are lovely although I must admit I loved the framed one especially in that beautiful frame not sure about silver fish they really creep me out for some reason :(

    Thanks for joining me DT. Can't believe you've taken the time to read all of the diary - I hope you were fuelled by a large glass of Merlot :rotfl:

    The frames are beautiful - which is why I couldn't resist them at the time :o

    I promise not to post any more gribblies on the diary - including Silverfish :eek: Don't want to give people nightmares.

    I hope you're able to stick around. Will pop off now to see if you have a diary so I can return the compliment.

    Thanks Megela. The butterfly is listed now if you wanted to take a look. An Oak Bush Cricket will be going up soon though :eek: so you'll just have to close your eyes for that one.

    Had to be a Cabbage White didn't it?

    Thought of you when I watched them dancing around my garden yesterday!
