    Beanie, many celebrations will follow :) and it's the bank holibob weekend too :)

    Well, I got to the end of the day in pretty good order. The end of the garden is a bit of a disaster area :o grass has semi-disappeared, ants have taken over the space underneath the decking and started to build on top :eek:

    Still, I can always catch up on that - current admin work has to be done *now*.

    Sewing Bee. Just as important :D

    Morning :)

    Everything is as intense as usual, and enjoying the first of the raspberries from the garden :j though I think I might have to let most of the perennial greens go this year. The original clump of sorrel is growing again though, new leaves from the ground, so I might still be able to try again :)

    Not doing too badly on the lists - though I don't fancy drying clothes inside the house any more, so I won't be putting the w/m on - the trials we get sent, hey :D:D:D

    Other than that, the to-do list is about banking, scanning, and backing things up, and oh yes, client work - probably 2.5 or 3 hours, I have to be flexible about it today, an emergency has struck. I won't miss that.

    And gardening, aka pruning :)

    I saw your posts on the ERW thread, and I think you've thrown some interesting points into the mix. It's normally very much about the 'numbers', rather than more abstract things like 'happiness', so I think it's great that the discussion can move in different directions. I also thought you had some very positive comments:)

    Thank you Goldie! I confess, I'm all about how something might *feel*, the happiness is the point, isn't it ... I'm glad it came over as positive :)

    Just checked my banking, after the website was down for a bit, all good, and I'm keeping the cheque account pretty low, so £700 transferred to savings a/c :j

    Throwing it down here, just like Beanie's, so I shan't be doing much walking on the grass, it creates foot-sized potholes in clay :D

    DH has been debating putting our washing line up from the old house - but the weather has been so bad it's pretty pointless at the moment.

    Looking forward to next week when the weather should improve a bit.

    Now that I *have* a washing line, I *must* use it :) Hope you get yours in operation soon.

    Distracting day, client work was 2.5 hours, though I think another bit to come. No gardening, argh, the weather is a bit intense for that. But a bit more scanning done, and everything backed up, which I like :)

    One thing that *has* to be done this evening is to get all the paper recycling into the bin, its being collected tomorrow. And I'm gradually spring-cleaning the bathroom (which was unbelievably grubby :eek:) so I may continue that - 10 minute spurts are the way to go :D

    10 min spurts are just excellent :)

    And breathe.

    Life begins again.

    Just need a few days to recover, and I'll be at week 10 in the countdown with a clear run from emergencies, and nothing like this week :j

    Happy Bunny now, except there's thunder and lightning again, so I'd better shut everything down *properly* this time. Hope no one's getting flooded, there are a lot of flood warnings out for the time of year.

    Boogying again :beer:
