Eggs IN 6 - a full house :j
Eggs OUT 2 - fried egg roll for lunch :j

Forgot to wear my fitbit when I walked into town this morning :doh:

Bit headachy so I'm going to potter in the garden for an hour or so and get some fresh air

Shame about the fitbit... Was it a long walk...?????

No, I went the most direct route today so probably only 4-5,000 steps.

Thanks BW! Still a bit headachy

I spent a couple of hours pottering in the back garden - pruning, collecting leaves and spreading 6 sacks of old wood chip/mud/chicken poo on the flower beds. Next week, weather permitting, I'll tackle the front garden.

Miss Hattie has started pecking us on the leg if we go to the shed and don't give her any treats

Slow-cooked lamb shanks for dinner :drool: Mr MWC is just dishing up...

Good morning :wave:

Plans for today:

* laundry - jeans and bedding pegged out with double pegs, towels to do
* plant tulip bulbs
* clean chicken coop
* pack for trip to France - stuff for little hat knitting and pompoms, large lock & lock to bring back cheese in. body brush, lotions & potions, oh and something to wear!
* buy tram ticket for return trip to airport

Best get a move on - don't want a mad rush like a fortnight ago - 3 hours to pick-up!

Tulip bulbs, double pegs, fresh French cheese, and a local tram - I love the sound of that day! Have a good trip, MWC.

Am impressed at how much you are getting done in the garden. Not sure i have set foot in ours for weeks!

Hampers sounding even better than last years - very impressive.

Thanks KC - made it to Lyon safely

Different hotel - bit [STRIKE]grim[/STRIKE] functional but it does have hot water!

I've been for a quick walk to get my bearings and didn't get lost this time :T The hotel is opposite the indoor food market :drool:

I've earned my Fitbit Great Barrier Reef badge - I've walked 2,574 km since 7 February 2015 :j

4 more little hats completed + 7 needing bobbles

Thanks BUT I hadn't done anything for weeks before that! Back garden is as good as done now - just need to prune my gooseberry bushes and raspberry canes in February. Oh and paint the fence panels before everything starts growing again! In the front garden, I need to collect leaves (+++), tidy a few perennials and rake the gravel drive

Little hats 48, 49 & 50 were started and finished on my trip home this morning The man sitting next to me on the plane complained to the cabin crew - apparently I was a threat to national security because I had "illegal" knitting needles and nail scissors... I told him he was wrong and carried on knitting!

I visited the market first thing to purchase stinky cheese Fingers crossed for a couple of weeks of cold weather so I can move it to the shed!
I also bought Pierres des Monts d'Or, marron glace, tarte aux praline rouges and caneles :drool::drool::drool:
