1. Work - managed to set up Microsoft teams at work. It took ages as the computer was incredibly slow even for work. It takes 15 minutes to log on on a good day!
2. Neighbour up the road was out the front watching her daughter on her bike. Had a long chat with her at 2m away. Daughter was having a great time too.
3. More sunshine.
4. Time spent in the garden- did some watering.
5. DS2 cooked lasagne which was good.13 -
For yesterday,
Mr Blackbird hopping around the lawn with a beak full of grubs but looking for more, no idea where the nest is.
Ventured into horsey town for essentials, emporium quiet with no queues and reasonably well stocked apart from any kind of flour.
Lunch was a tasty bean soup.
Spent the afternoon with my equine girlie, brisk wind kept the temperature down but good to be outside.
After months of deliberation I finally ordered a stand mixer, mainly to be used for bread dough as kneading really hurts nowadays ( arthritic small finger ) and even though it’s not very OS I am extremely happy!13 -
Artnoon all...

Warm up some tinned toms and smash them up! Chop some carrots. When onions and snorkers are cooked, put in casserole dish, top with the toms, add the carrots. Add some chili and chives. Cook and serve. Nice.

We has finished the yard, all weeded, raked the gravel back over, dusted the door. Oiled the doors and windows. yes, ifs yous don'ts oil and do the window things every year, they seize up. The 40DW has been sprayed! Good for another year. RThe orangery has been cleaned, though at the moment it holds BoP's wobbleade and BoPsie's dressing table from the room that is to be painted!
There, hopes everyone is keeping safe.
Here ends you BoP words for this day!
Keep Safe.

Good evening all, pleasures for yesterday.....
Walk round the block first thing with the HT
The great wardrobe tidy of 2020 happened. Everything is organised, everything that fits has been put back, the stuff that doesn't has been removed.
The HT wanted to know what he'd look like with curly hair so I curled it with the chopstick curler. It amused both of us far more than it probably would under normal circumstances.
Time spent on project 3 - crochet. It's a big throw so it'll take a while.
Home made scone and home made jam for supper - yum.
Take care all of you12 -

1 Took possibly the longest time ever to change our bedding, but it’s all done, and ours is now hanging out.
2 Using up salad and a chop for dinner.
3 Sat out in the garden looking at the star link satellites, the ferrets decided we had lost our minds, and possibly our neighbours also ah well.
4 Tried a solid hair shampoo, surprised to say I am very impressed.
5 Weeded, mowed, watered and watered some more.
6 Hot cheesy crumpets delicious.

Hello. Just been out in the garden with hat, scarf, three blankets and a dog on my lap watching for things in the sky, saw a few but a band of cloud came over so I decided to come in. DD2 had already came in and the boy is still out.
another lovely day. Warm with a blooming cool very breezy breeze. Nice if you were out the wind.Lovely doggy walk at 6.15am across the field ( 3 ducks) then I made the foolish mistake of going back to bed. And then fell asleep and woke up much later ( horrified)
we washed the dog boy in the garden. He was actually quite amenable!Potted up some plants.
wandered round to mothers who was a tad grumpy ( more like herself then!) met a friend and had a lovely chat with her (at a suitable distance)
didn’t make a tea as such we all just munched on what was there.Quick chat to friend on phone.Wrapping up to go outside, it was oddly nice just us.12
