    Passes the cheese.

    Nice to have your company for lunch.

    Squally doesn't even cut it here, its fierce out here.

    I'm really beginning to like this place. Sun in summer, storms in autumn.

    :D

    Yes I know I'm degranged-er than usual.

    Plan for today

    Stay dry.
    Might do some cleaning if I get really bored. (I need to)
    Take down old desk
    Banks/cc's
    5 minutes tidying in each room, I can't face 15
    A wee treat later maybe......or just hunker under a duvet and watch a dvd.
    Work?
    Wash sheep that's now in bath :rotfl:

    Really should think about writing as I've not really be in the right place for it. Beginning to peek over the wall now though.

    TRG is heading straight to another work thing abroard, so not sure when he's actually back. Another week at least if not more.

    More grub for me :D

  • Thanks for the tip Pipps, I should rig that up ready just in case.

    Tipping it down here this morning but nice and sunny now! Just went to the garden centre and at the edge of the car park they have a multi-trunked tree that must be two grafted together i think. Half the branches and small golden crab apples and no leaves, the other half still had leaves and big red eating apples.

    Dear me, you live the life up there, don't you, with sheep in the bath :D Not sure you'll be able to stay dry in that situation :)

    Enjoy whatever you choose to do: tonight I'll be watching a 3 episode DVD from Fallen Skies, which I'm *really* enjoying :)

    As for writing - you could always write about how odd it is to have sun in summer and storms in autumn :)

    :)

    KC I hope you had a nice weekend too as I wish for you all. I'm liking the sound of your weekend.

    Mines was awash with sleepers and they're 'finally' in the right place.

    Sigh of contentment. I just need to get use to it now. :)

    Trog - sounds bonnie that grafted tree - how lovely we had a mixed weekend I visited some folks up in perthshire with so much flooding! Man o man.

    So I've decided that I'm rubbish without a list and not checked the bank for days.

    Here we go
    Banks/cc's
    Work done an hour -- do more later
    lunch with a chum via recycling site, make most of those miles/petrol
    Wee bit shopping but need a wee list but might manage aside bread/bagels whatever drops into my basket
    Clean out fires
    Done kitchen
    Fold washing
    More volunteer spreadsheet to do
    Birthday card for tomorrow for a SIL
    Return a baking tray which is too big bah
    Sparkle.
    Maybe some wood chopping if I get home in time.

    Cleared more of the garden yesterday and got the chainsaw out for a bit. Very therapeutic.

    In an odd slash and burn kinda way.

    Hens good, met me at the door again this am. Paying a bit too much attention to my ornamental cabbages pesky things......
