    Happy birthday LouLou and Bonnie.

    Had an entertaining 2hrs + in A&E yesterday after having a bit of an argument with my friend's horse! So I'm going to look very attractive for my birthday later in the week with 4/5 steri-strips on my cheek and a black eye.................

    Not a good idea to get the plasters & stuff sweaty, so that excuses me from the gym for a few days - so more time for flying. I don't like the sound of the weather i.e. rain, so garden flying may be out.

    Have a good week everyone.

    I've been flying the red flag in The Arms.

    (But not resorting to personal attacks)

    And I have been gardening. The front lawn edge looks like a front lawn edge; more couch grass roots removed. Washing dry.
    Yesterdays washing ironed. More washing found for machine. Dinig room never got cleaned because I went out gardening while the going was good! I also emptied the dalek all over the potato patch (well dug soil);) so I must root out the list I wrote last night and see what I haven't yet done...
