It is natural to miss dear doggie but she will be back and it saves you walking in the cold. It is less cold but  still nippy by me and i am just going to clean the house but will put the heating on before Andy comes. Have a good day my lovely.

Have had a lovely lie in SW 😁 No dog walking this morning 🤗

I found a hot cross bun in the freezer so toasted that with a sliced banana for breakfast. 

Have cleaned a stain off the hall carpet & used a dog towel to soak up any excess water, while everyone is out the carpet will air dry. I haven’t put any washing on as it is grey and cloudy out and not a breath of wind so it will not dry. 

Just having a pamper, hot shower, hair, nails, feet, feel so relaxed 😊

Later after town I will do a cupboard/ freezer inventory as I am eating from stores this week.

Wonderful. I am tidying and drinking tea and chilling as I dont need to panic about work. What a luxury, this is what retirement will be like Skinty. All this saving and scrimping will be worth it.

I've had the heating on for an hour the last 2 nights.

Lie in and a posh breakfast, PD should have a little holiday again 😃

You're sounding relaxed, hope the shopping trip is productive.

Puppy dog is back 🐶 we’ve been out for a walk & she’s now snoring in her arm chair 😆

Got 2 loads of washing done yesterday, mostly dried outside & put away. A few damp ones finished on airers. No heating on. 

Showers forecast for today & just started raining now. Glad we missed it, although dog was soaking wet after rolling in the dew on the grass. Dried her with old towels. DS & gf went to work earlier & I’m just about to start work at home

DS’s gf has taken the dog to the forest so I have been out enjoying the sun & doing a bit of pottering in the garden. Chopped back the sage bush & pruned a climbing rose. Gave the cuttings to my neighbour to put in his garden waste bin as he told me I can use if for free 🤗
