1>infinity, wherever that sideways 8 is on &'s keyboard:😁

2. Extra. Doblo mileage pic.🙂
3. Happy+naughty Food Warehouse rtc finds as thankyou's to someone tomorrow.
4. Ditto, from emporium. 2 bouteilles from &'s Hawkes Bay province in Aotearoa, again as thankyou's for &'s Bank tomorrow. Very, very sadly, NatWest in Town of Horse is closing.🤬 Lengthier drive+park and ride will be necessary henceforth into Town of Gown, then more trekking.
5. Found wonderful pale roses outside gate last night, shared from elderly friend, whose 87th birthday had meant 87 roses from a son who shares &'s father's first 2 names, Thomas Hugh....if that makes sense to any of you.🤞Son also approved of the sharing, so all is good.💐💮

Applied for another role, a pleasure to keep plundering on.
I challenged myself to de clutter a bit more, but obviously wasn’t in the mood, I did manage a complete bag of rubbish as in the moths had got it sadly, and a complete bag of recycling coat hangers etc. I started on my clothes but was going to keep the good quality work trousers but end up with more than I need. So, it needs re visiting, I shall bring it all in the same space I need, that is the decider – I need the space more. More clothe moth deterrents put in and around.
Ran a few errands, picked up DH’s med, picked up a couple of bags of litter from the range, then over to Aldi, but knew it would be a shop, and a couple of festive goodies stashed away. I’m feeling stuck in a bit of a food rut so trying to change it, picked up a couple of rtc's.
Build your own wraps, brown rice, chicken pieces, salsa and salad topping.
Picked up one of the digital heritage passes I’m pleased with that, as I have somewhere we both would like to explore.

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 lovelyMrsSD declutter medals 2023 🏅🏅🏅⭐⭐ 2025

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.3 -
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.1
