Oh no Cranky. I do hope it gets sorted soon. What a blessing good friends, and cousins, are at such a time.
Today
Very grey and misty, but we've had four beautiful sunny days so mustn't grumble.
A trip to the supermarket. Not many customers and no noticeable gaps on the shelves so all sorted again.
Don't know what to wear! Have been wearing the same few tops and jeans on a wash and wear basis all winter but they're gradually disintegrating and are now not even fit for wearing to clean up. But I don't want to wear my best 'Sunday-come-to-meeting' clothes to splash bleach around in the bathroom. First world problems, I know.
Stew and dumplings followed by apple sponge and custard. All very suitable for a cold grey day.
Happy Monday everyone

Recents...
1. Collected a 'Too Good to Go' bag from Carluccios this morning and some bread from a lovely Olioer on the way back.2. DD has decided to house sit DMiL house at weekends until she passes her driving test, and can move in permanently. She needs her own space. (I am sad, but know it is the right thing for her to do).
3. Continuing on with sorting the cupboards, and shelves etc.4. Sowed some seeds in propagators. (Trying to follow 'What Vivi Did Next'). Dreaming of a greenhouse and planning the veg garden revamp.
5. Some eBay successes have created some space.
6. Persuading DH to do some different dog walks. 🙄
7. Arranging to meet up with friends, who have been sorely neglected while I have been focused on horrid work situation. ☹️8. Beautiful full moon, clear blue skies and signs of spring.
9. It's a Sin......especially as one of the characters has the same name as me!
Have a lovely evening 🙂In a world where you can be anything, be kind. (Caroline Flack)

For yesterday,
Bit of a meh day weather wise after a sunny weekend but the big daffodils are out in the garden.
Out to the feed store for girlie’s chaff and wished my pal who works there a happy birthday.
Over to the yard, filled up her feed bin and just generally pottered around.
Had slept badly so an afternoon nap.
A bit of a Monday mix up for tea involving store cupboard essentials and some mussels we had left from the weekend, surprisingly tasty.

Good morning. I was way too tired to post last night.
Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of losing my literally other half. My lovely husband. Four years. That just sounds and looks ridiculous to even say.
Up early.Out with dog and over fields the far side of which was absolutely covered in cobwebs, every single blade of grass and rut of mud was webbed, I’ve never seen anything like it, it wasn’t nice. And it was a case of I either keep walking till I’m out the other side or I walk all the way back through it again. So we kept on. Yikes!DD2 poorly but managed a phone consultation with GP...prescription would be sent to pharmacy. Prescription wasn’t sent to pharmacy so we had to go down later and collect and then pharmacy didn’t have everything so we have to go back today and collect. But because I was in town I went to M&S ...that was the pleasure part!Had ordered from me to me a box of flowers from my favourite florist, a do it yourself bouquet. So enjoyed flower arranging, flowers are lovely.
we managed a very short walk to see OH tree down our woods but it exhausted DD2.
friends called, texted, doorstep delivered.Whilst we were out I got garden paint and planters.The most stunning of sunsets.
the most bluest of skies .
it’s cloudy at the moment but to brighten up later. Not warm though but we will take the brightness.15
