    Good morning.  Sunny again

    Dundee Doll - hope all is well and you are just end-of-term/year busy.

    It's a really good drying day today but we've had so many good days I've run out of washing!  That almost never happens!

    But also the two water butts are full to the top so I can water with a clear conscience.  All good!

    I think bits and bobs of sewing today.  I'm re-lining some baskets that hold toiletries etc in the wardrobe.  The originals were very grubby.  I didn't want to buy new material though so used up leftovers from my stash so they are sort of two tone now😂. But clean and fresh

    Happy Wednesday everyone

    I've been pretty ill the last few days (bad tummy leading to bad eyes/head). Did manage to get out yesterday so here are my pleasures for Tuesday.

    1) Better sleep.

    2) Pottered round the house during the morning.

    3) Went to Waitrose cafe in floody city so I could help smaller son apply for another apprenticeship (we took the laptop). 

    4) Went to Croome Court, one of our favourite National Trusts. We had forgotten the free newspaper offer for smaller son so we wandered around looking for a fence to leap over (I had my card) but in the end just sat by the cafe until driven away by wasps. 

    5) Went to the city centre where the traffic was absolutely appalling. Had some chips in a carpark. One impatient man in the car park was revving and braking sharply and generally being stupid. Then there was an incredible bang and his side window had fallen down inside his door! So we looked the other way but enjoyed that a lot. 

    6) We went to the rugby stadium to watch our football team play the city team (resurrected after going bust a few years ago). One player was very fouly and silly and it got like a pantomime in the end as the crowd ooohed and aahed every single pass our team made and boooed their number 7! We won 2-1.

    7) Got home in time to watch the extra time of the women's Euros and England won 2-1 in the closing moments.

    Pleasures for today (Wednesday)

    1) Not a bad sleep.

    2) Went to the local shopping centre and had my hair cut (first proper cut in a year) so 25cm off and a short back and sides now. No one has noticed, except smaller son. 

    3) Felt better so tidied up and hoovered the floors.

    4) Went to my sister's in the afternoon as it is her birthday. My mum's behaviour was almost unbearable so I went out to look at the tomato crop. 

    5) Got a few bits from Lidl.

    6) Planning a holiday and it looks like it will involve a few sleeper trains.

    7) Watched the Euros now. 

    8) Mowed the little front lawn and managed to get it back from a meadow to a lawn.

    Pleasures for last few days

    1. Good journey back from the North West.
    2. Managed 80.5 MPG on return trip in my new car.
    3. Tomatoes and Cucumber plants survived the 5 days. Got tomatoes ripening and several lemon cucumbers ready.
    4. Sleeping in my own bed.
    5. Sold a few more items.
    6. Booked a few days away with friends to Valencia in November.
    7. Made a chickpea & green lentil curry but realised after I had started making it that I had no coconut milk so added in some chopped potatoes and some vegetable stock - was very nice but not sure I will be able to recreate again as kept adding herbs and spices.
    8. Watched The Sewing Bee.
