Shopping done - £17 for lots of loo roll, washing up liquid, wine and miscellaneous sundries
Ran, managed to hang washing outside (yes, in Scotland in March) and tidied up so tomorrow will be all about the studying...

We went to Spain last Easter and it was as warm here as it was there (and it was warm there!). By the time we came home it was snowing. Then it started to rain. It hasn't really stopped yet
. I have water lying in them garden where it has never lain in the 13+ years we've been here :eek:.
Harrrrummmmmph
