    in no particular order
    1) someone was mowing their lawn - the smell of freshly cut grass 
    2) hm pasta with tomato sauce topped with M&S mackerel in tomato sauce thanks to new M&S opening in hospital concourse
    3) the new students - always a joy
    4) a colleague's glut of apples - she brought in a huge bag and I took 10 having already sampled one
    5) walking home with another colleague - the light through the trees was lovely

    Another bank in the town gone Amps 😡

    For yesterday,

    Being grateful that the heating clicked in as another bbbbrrr morning.

    C dog’s favourite game is collecting the windfalls and, either eating one, or swapping them out for a treat when Mum worries about her tum, either way she’s on to a good thing! Whereas I’m constantly trying to find them before she does 😂

    Morning visit to my horse, they had put a rug on first thing due to low temperature but decent in the sunshine so I whipped it off.

    Decided to take advantage of no parking charges after 3 in BuryStEds to do a few errands, got there at 2.50 so sat in car Justin. Did try on some jeans but recent weight loss meant I’m in between sizes so decided to wait but treated myself to a couple of nice soaps from French shop, not exactly MSE but…..

    Made a batch of Bolognese sauce and we had some in a pasta bake for tea. Evening listening to radio commentary of United’s match at Craven Cottage, good account of ourselves but now out of league cup.

    Morning all 😊

    Home from Lesvos on Sunday afternoon, wonderful holiday in the sunshine ☀️, easy transfers, what a difference using pre booked taxis!  Luckily we arrived home to sunshine but somewhat cooler, so most of the washing is done and dried.  Some ironing to do and then I’ll vacuum pack my summer clothes, ready for move.
    Talking of which, our sellers still haven’t found anywhere, so 🤞 it won’t be too long.
    Shopping, washing, cleaning and catch up tv on Monday.  Yesterday I went swimming (40 lengths thanks to some sea swimming on holiday) then OH and I went to cinema to see Downton Abbey The Finale, really enjoyable and comfortable in our reclining seats 😊
    Lunch out today for me with “ladies who lunch group” and hopefully a bit of garden tidying.
    Have a good day everyone.
