    good morning, also hoping for an nsd, but may have to buy milk.
    If DGS has toast or crumpets for breakfast I won't need any, if he opts for cereal, I will.
    Aching considerably from a day in the garden, so will take an easy day, and recover.
    Time to start waking the little darling/wild animal for school, wish me luck.

    Apart from the 'shrooms that recipe (Bean Otto) looks a good'un. Another one to go in my folder - thankyou GP.
    Did not buy laser level thingie for sleeper straightening. Instead I went out there with 2 sticks and some string and relaid the pesky things. Had to keep running in and out to check they were ok from the living room and everything is good now.:T
    Was lovely day for gardening but as soon as I stopped it was quite cold so came in and looked at my budget for next month. It didn't take long as have tax and MOT, and possibly some work to be done, on car. I seem to have had a "spendy" March so need to reign in again.
