    Thanks BW - still a bit headachy this morning but not too bad.

    Plan for today:

    WFH this morning
    Facial this afternoon
    Tidy shed/potter in garden
    Buy greeting cards (3 x birthday, 1 x new home, 1 x first day at school)

  • The shed tidying/garden pottering didn't happen as I treated myself to a manicure as well :D

    Today we ate potatoes, rocket & endive from the garden (in a salad with smoked mackerel, hard-boiled egg, spring onions and a dressing made from mayo, sour cream & horseradish)

    It still feels luxurious to me to have two distinct forms of protein in one meal - I love it :):):)

    Tidy the shed
    Pressure wash the chicken coop

  • Lazy morning interrupted by a mercy mission to rescue Mr MWC who felt his hip pop whilst out on a run - just had enough money in the car to buy him a bag of frozen peas + a packet of ibuprofen :A

    Very blustery here - may need to postpone the pressure washing :(
