Thanks SW. DF is ok has been keeping busy in the garden & allotment. I will walk the dog around 9am. Think I will need my waterproofs today!

Just back from walking the dog round the local pond & nature reserve. We saw a pair of swans with 8 babies and a pair of moor hens with 6 little black fluffball babies. Really lifted my spirits 😊 Hardly anyone out in the pouring rain 👏 hurrah

Awww baby swans are adorable!

Hurrah I'm glad you had a lovely walk. Nothing like swans and ducklings to cheer you up. It was pretty awful first thing and became much better throughout the day here.

Took the dog to the park this morning before the rain started. She had a lovely time running around after her ball. 

We have managed to get a tesco click & collect slot today and DS will pick it up at 1pm. We have also got a morrisons delivery slot for next Thursday for £2. So we should be sorted for food for the next few weeks. Hopefully the stuff will be in stock.

Spent a few hours trying to fix my dishwasher. Cleaned the filter inside with baking soda & vinegar and a plunger! Still flashing error lights. Finally put a bucket under the sink & disconnected the outlet hose. Lots of gunk removed & finally no more error lights flashing. Ran a dishwasher cleaner through & now all sparkling & works again! 

DS collected the shopping and I had hot & spicy chicken wings for dinner. Cubed beef cooked in slow cooker & frozen in portions for quick & easy meals.

Well done for fixing the dishwasher 🤗

Ummmm spicy wings, on my must have in the future!

After the morning dog walk I spent most of yesterday trying to sort my work equipment. Hopefully it will arrive soon. 

Sunny & windy today. It has been showers on and off since I got back from the dog walk. Had eggy bread for breakfast ☺️ Can’t remember the last time I had that, it was lovely with brown sauce 😆

Have emptied the dishwasher & baked some banana muffins to use up some soft bananas. 

I will mask up the utility room with masking tape this afternoon ready to start painting tomorrow. It will take me a week to get it done due to my back. I bought paint, rollers & brushes ages ago on offer. I am on annual leave next week so will use the time to decorate.

Banana muffins sound devine!

Take your time with painting, don't push yourself or think another 5 minutes will be ok and take regular breaks. I'm sure it will look great when done.

Sounds like you are going to have a productive weekend painting. Well done you. I fancy some cake or muffins yum. Glad the work equipment is on its way.
