    Wm on, Dw on, about to promenade the puppy.
  • Hi there. Back in for another week! Did the usual round of breakfasts and was rewarded with some robins and blue tits at the tables - the other birds were very quiet today, I only saw one blackbird.

    S&S kitchen and bathroom, and just a general tidy through as we are not too bad after cleaning before our visitors arrived on Sat, and a good sort out of corners etc yesterday. We then walked next door's dogs for an hour, then managed a quick toastie before work! The time flew there and I've now chilled out with a mug of tea and am currently re-heating a home cooked meal with loads of veg for our meal. I'm so hungry now!!

    Thanks for the lists, Dusty, and Natty for last weeks, also, 'Happy Birthday' to Natty, I hope you're having a great day!

    Many thanks, too, for those lovely fly ladies who sent me kind wishes and greetings for mine last week.

    Good health vibes for all those poorly fly people - epecially Lady Liberty - and good vibes too for Lame Wolf - your doggie visitors must love coming to you!

    Good wishes all round, bye for now, R x

    Natty, Polka AND sequeena back in a week.. what is happening to the world!?!?!?

    Kitchen swept.. DD3 bossed to shovel up dirt, DD4 bossed to pick up the toys and DD5 picked out the dirty socks.. it looks much nicer aside from the dw in the middle of the floor that has been there 5 weeks.. I didn't realise it was that long.. *kicks self*

    DW done
    WM x2
    TD on
    1 load folded and all put away

    2 rooms and half a hallway reclaimed today.. Might peek at the front room tomorrow.. it looks like an explosion in a toy shop in there! I need to move a sofa too which is always fun.

    Well, I was going to do the dishes and clean the worktops but I appear to have no water. Looks like it'll have to wait until tomorrow now.
