    Back from DS3's lesson which he enjoyed, doing him more lunch next.

    Feeling tired now so not sure how much else I'll get done, a nap seems appealing.

    Good luck with your long list MinnieMousesMummy.
    Dusty - after scoffing my potato I did have a nap.

    Curtains are sown and I'm just having yet another cuppa with some biscuits. I'll be too full to go out to dinner tonight!
    Spend less now, work less later.

    WM x 2 and pegged out. Mount Washmore is growing despite that.
    Dog walk x 2
    Kitchen floor swept
    Bed made
    Dog chicken cooking
    Brunch made and scoffed by 3 people
    Tidying, tidying, tidying.
    Electric kettle throwing flames and smoke. Deactivated and kettle chucked. OH asked to buy another while he's walking back from lunchtime (pub) meeting.
    Better is good enough.

    Anyone else read that as 'Pets baking in the aga' or just me?
    Yes, I did!

    Sounds like a very interesting walk, HB.
    Glad you had a good holiday, MMM.

    I have
    - had a bit of a lie-in this morning so am forgoing an afternoon nap ;)
    - dealt with a phonecall
    - checked finances
    - updated and tweaked a presentation
    - decided which web pages need updating
    - made chicken and mushroom soup for lunch
    - decanted a split pot of yogurt into an empty pot
    - mown and edged the lawn (and it's raining again now, so I just got that finished in time)
    - sorted the route to the concert venue for this evening

    Meanwhile DH
    - went to a model railway show "for a couple of hours"
    - did some bits of top-up shopping at @ld1 which hopefully will mean that I don't need to buy much more in the coming week
    - dropped the pot of yogurt which split
    - arrived home nearly 4 hours after he went out.

    Now I have an hour to get my head round some of the revisions to the website before I need to cook tea...

    A certain High Street electronic store lost my custom today. I was told I HAD to buy additional software on top of the price of the item I wanted. I've never been so pressured in a shop before. Then told me that they would install it and to come back in four hours. I just turned and walked out. Got what I wanted elsewhere no problem. Plus a £10 pound voucher.

    Flying wise not a lot done as I've been at DDs.

    Cat stuff done.
    Kitchen tidied.

    Honey and Ionfan, that would be just mean to bake the pets, I have however treated them to some flea spot-on today.

    Cleaned and refilled the bird feeder
    Made quiche
    Stipped our bed
    2xWM

    Better than nothing and not too exhausing. I'll iron some shirts for the boys for this week after dinner with some tv.
