    Morning All :wave:


    Hope you are all well, think we had our Summer yesterday, the first & last sunny day in Scotland :rotfl:back to dull & overcast here now. No new outbreak of spots this morning on DD (according to DH, I shall inspect later) so fingers crossed they have stopped now. DH went to the school & DD's teacher has given her some work home, (she asked for it as she didn’t want to lose anystickers from her end of year reward chart! bless her)

    I was hoping to get out in garden last night, but had to do a shop after dinner, poor DD was left in the car for almost an hour & she was not amused :(. I got 4 loads dried on the line yesterday, ironed it rather than putting it away (except DH’s as he does his own). I will crack on with bathroom & ensuite tonight after paid stuff & dinner, I have asked DH to hoover stairs & landing, LR does not need done.

    just had a coffee and rang mum and friend. after the call to my friend i needed a happier talk with someone else. weve known friends for ever so are close to them and their kids. they have a really difficult and sad situation going on at the moment - all we can do is let them know we are there for them but i do wish i had a magic wand that could cure all ills. Especially the B&$*&%D one that starts with C.

    Well. There I was eager to crack on with carpet washing, when friends spoiled it by needing me to go and see an excellent outdoor sculpture exhibition on a lovely, warm, cheerfully sunny day with them. What's a girl to do? It took us all day, too.

    It somehow morphed into going to see 'The Last Quartet' which was wonderful, followed by supper out of the freezer which OH cooked and the friends picked up some cheese to go with it. So, all in all a really lovely surprise non-flying day.

    I'm sorry other people are having a difficult time. (((Hugs.)))
    Better is good enough.

    So to hear that. What is wrong with the school situation? I though you was happy to be moving schools and having a nursery place? (miss that confused smiley still).
    Did your DD1 get sorted out for her PND?
