Evening all
I've been prepping blackcurrants for freezing and DS3 has been shelling peas, he likes doing it. Soup in progress also for freezing. Need to go and collect DS2 from work in a minute and then bed soon, need to leave the house at 9am tomorrow.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Evening all
Had a lovely day in Herne Bay today, thankfully the weather stayed really nice although it was very very humid. Popped into Mr A's on the way home because I needed a dressing gown for tomorrow's trip to the spa. I think I want one at the wrong time of the year..all I can find are silky ones.
It was lovely and cool but boy when I got outside I felt like I was in a foreign place due to the humidity..
Came home to chaos - my poor Bear had left me a lovely present all over the living room floor at the far end. And I mean all over, it was everywhere..poor little thing had a terrible time with his poo's. I spent over an hour cleaning it all up.. Thank gods we hadn't cleaned the carpet last weekend like we had originally planned to. So I am only leaving him for the morning tomorrow and then I'm staying home for the rest of the week. He must have got really hot indoors, if that was how he was indoors can you imagine how those poor dogs feel in cars during the day.
Still can't get into the kitchen to give it a good going over yet. I am doing what I can with what is on show..I can't even get to the microwave yet..lol But I can get to the windows for a change so they were cleaned

Sorry Miss I'm late but
On Sunday I spent all day at the Glasgow show had a lovely day with a picnic but I wasn't just having fun I learned that we only have 2 types ( or was it 3) of moth in this country that eat clothes and even then only natural fibers. (See flying)
On Monday I spent all day in the the cemetery's I went to MiLs grave washed the head stone, cut the grass that had been missed and generally tidied up. Then went to other cemetery and did the same at my mums but I planted two fuschia plants too, ditto my dads ( see flying)
Today DS2 had a trip and had to be at the school for 9 and I'm out of the habit! DD had her ballet class at 10 and .... I went to the adult class tonight. I haven't danced in about .... mmmm a couple of years but the teacher says I'm a star
So I hope I'm excused.
