    Morning all

    Fridge cleared of leftovers because it's bin day tomorrow; realistically I don't think the kids will eat them and I won't because they are not SW - especially the leeks in cheese sauce. DS fetched some chicken goujons back from uni; I found out they had been left in a car so opened the packet to fling them too (waste food goes in composting bin, now) I think it's a good job no-one decided to eat them. DW emptied. Washing hung out, though there are showers. Sewing project being proceeded with. Friend's dad's funeral is this pm so, as I am off work, I am going.

    Something seriously up with forum - there are NO usernames showing. Signatures are equally weird.

    Afternoon all

    Breezy and bright here, cat bedding washed and on the line after I saw a little visitor crawling down a ginger and white nose!

    Been to school for Gov meeting.
    Ironing done
    Kitchen floor hoovered.

    Plan, clean shower room
    Touch up a bit more paintwork
    Do a couple of garden jobs

    Rest of the day will then be paperwork.

    Seedlings are all outside sunning themselves before the rain this afternoon and paperwork is being shuffled prior to my preparing the futon for occasional lodger tonight.

    Summer seat fixing vibes, together with unpunctured pond-liner vibes. *jelus*

    I don't know quite why it was, but Master Bossy's first class tickets and Ionafan's GS's compliments gave me a lovely little moment when I caught up with Fred just now. *snif*
    Better is good enough.
