Thankyou rtandon.

Mr Sea has !!!!!!ed off with the mozzerella (sp?) in his lunch this morning - and I've defrosted mince for tea.

However this is on the list for Wednesday tea this week - I have a hospital appointment at 2.15 following the surgery - so we should be back in time to both do this and add toppings of choice.

Thankyou - sorry to butt in - normal service can resume

Have a great day everyone!

Poor doggies left at home, given this heat - wise move I think.

They were cool as cucumbers at home



Picked up DS enroute home from a really fantastic soil/composting seminar.

Yes really.

All about treating our organic waste as a fuel for the soil rather than 'waste to be treated' - really made me think. Quite circular economy-ish - which is essentially very 'goodlifey-ish'

As Tom Goode would say - every resource is precious even if its manure - fuel that is Barbara, fuel.

Really made me think.

Morning lands.

A whole HUGE day of paid work again today - which I can't really grumble at can I?

First off though a few things on me list.

Banks - one OK, one Squeaky. Must work on getting rid of the mcsqueaky one.
CC's - move is now showing up - must get that cleared.
Email a potential new client bit of survey work, not done that in a while must dust off the ID books eh?
Pot up the courgettes
Pot up the rasps
Pot up the lettuce
(this is becoming a theme eh?)
Some grub from the meal planner - hark at me meal planning and everythink
Need to buy some fruit although we've one orange and a couple of kiwi's left, we won't die to scurvy today
A dight round with a cloot won't hurt either
Dishwashers on
Hand wash some clothes as we've still not decided on the washing machine (its at the flat and we can't decide if its better to let it with or without white goods/partially furnished.
A wee walk somewhere later with TRG and houndlets.
Write up blog/update details etc.

So that should do for today.

First banks.

Pippilongstocking

Well I got my last 'teaching' pay so that's all from them for a while. So the banks are looking a bit less squeaky than they were.

Must check t'other one too.

ETA - t'other one is a bit squeaky but the housekeeping from TRG goes in within a week, so that's helpful.

I've the balance of the move on my CC (£460) must get that paid off as soon as I'm able. You get a month interest free don't you?

Must sort out the mower getting paid and that will help hugely.

Hey starnac, I'm desperate not to lose the season so I really need to get my finger out in the garden, we're only eating herbs so far so lots to do!

Mainland, um its a tad hot and I''m not use to it and no wind, very odd, and oddest of all the rain only goes down the way. That I'm really NOT use to.

(Not really complaining mind)

Going to try and get some tents up soon too we've visitors soon and need some 'festival' space in the garden.

Hope you and yours are well. I've seen my lovely DS twice already so although I'm missing the isles, I'm loving being so close to folks that I love here. Seems surreal that we lived so far away.

DS and I finished the chook run last night. I'm still looking for hens which don't cost £20/each :eek:

Very odd also seeing 'normal' work colleagues yesterday too - I guess I'll get use to it?

Great news on a full days work.
