    Morning all, and it's a lovely one.

    Some pleasures:

    1. Loving these late summer days, warm and sunny but just starting to get a nip in the air. Such a relief after the frantic hot heatwave days. These are days to enjoy not tolerate.
    2. Had a great few days away with brother and SIL. Meeting up with them again together with my other brother and SIL for a few days in Northamptonshire over the Bank Holiday. Heven't met up with younger brother since New Year so looking forward to that. Just time to unpack and repack and do a bit of washing!
    3. SIL's brothers have a farm so came back with a big sack of potatoes, a net of onions, dozens (literally!) of eggs and a big carrier full of apples. Stood and prepped the apples yesterday and they are now tucked in the freezer waiting to be added to blackberries and crumble mix. Love free food, can see quite a few Spanish omelettes in our near future!
    4. Hubby had his long awaited dental procedure yesterday, all went well but not very MSE as the NHS waiting list was 12-18 months so we bit the bullet - not literally - and he went privately. He had been a bit pottered about how they were going to do it but in the event it all went very smoothly so he is a bit sore but very relieved. Soup for tea.
    5. Home alone this morning so having a coffee and will then make a start on some wardrobe sorting and culling. Need to find some in between seasons clothes, I know I'll have some but as each season arrives I can never remember what I wore the year before so wil have a root around while the house is quiet and I can concentrate. Will be more than ready for Mr H to arrive home and distract me at lunchtime but |I'mhoping to be done by then and feeling very virtuous.

    Best get a move on then if I want a free afternoon and I'd like to get into my summerhouse for a potter and a play. Most of the summer has been far too hot, today feels just right. Goodness, compared to some of you we live a very tame life, steady away and as little drama as possible suits us very well these days. Oh dear!

    Have a good day whatever you are up to.
