  • Some for yesterday.

    1. Finally got round to deciding what I am going to do at a meeting today. It won't be the best organised but if given no time to do it in not much gets done.

    2. Friendly driver on the bus both ways. It makes a difference if they smile at you.

    3. Chat with someone on the bus.

    4. DS2 cooked again. He does want a lift home in Friday night.

    5. Had some night tea that is meant to help you sleep. I think some success. I did sleep beyond 4. It was only till 4.15 but better.

    House Elf good luck. I'm sure you will be just fine .
    Village life and Wednesday I hear you on these silly early mornings. I've been awake since 3am ...felt out of sorts yesterday morning as my alarm woke me at 5am! Maybe jet lag will know K me into shake in a few weeks.

    Work. Was very busy and passes very quickly.

    It's been our hottest day of Spring so far 22o and feels so warm...I been had to take my jumper off!

    More sorting of the garage ( this has been the biggest task and challenge of the whole event) . Put things out in grass verge yesterday ( and more again today ) but was walking to work this morning chatting to friend from home as I often do and I'm like....somethings missing? Hmmmm....the mirror! Then when I came home ....something else was gone...a chair. Then the weed killer carry back pack thingy and a Jerry can for diesel.

    Put our telly up on a free site ...wow! To the response of the next in liners! Having already said it was taken ...yet the man who asked first seemed a bit fussy, how old, what brand , is it digitally compatible? 5 years, Aldi and yes and it's flaming well free! We can easily live without a telly for 3 weeks.

    Went out for lunch with big 2. Usually Thursday is just me and my boy but DD1 had skipped class today for a lie in instead.

    DD2 has her first dress rehearsal tonight for her exam marked production . So going out to that this evening.

    Haggis Dog knows that the postie who travels on pavements on his scooter has biscuits in his pocket and was very disappointed when we crossed the road to drop off more stuff at Salvos....he kept looking longingly all the way up to the top of the street and imagine his delight when we reached the other side and the postie was waiting for him with a treat!

    Have a lovely day :)

    HE - A* for your First Aid cert. No worries.:-)

    vl- agree re: bus drivers. Natural to thank them, but so many don't, esp. the ear-phoned and screen-doped. Hate seeing this. Powers of observation: NIL. All journeys mean bits of world to see+hear.

    Frith - tried your archaeology site, but get error msg. Doubtless due to pre-historic notspot here.

    Lainey - found Henry. All bkd out for Oct 2nd Innings with Swanny, but will persist -

    4 Washing loads are in progress.
    5 Dinner is about to be hm burgers, with either potato salad or chips.
    6 The war of the museums bbc item on twitter, had me laughing out loud.
  • 1) Finally getting to see my friend who is moving tomorrow and managing a coffee at the garden centre with her.

    2) He Who Knows is really much better today.

    3) Finding several nice little stocking fillers for the baby in the garden centre sale.

    4) Picked the last of the greenhouse tomatoes, plants now cut down and the greenhouse emptied.

    5) The beautiful red-gold sunset that is shining into the study across the river, beautiful!

    Some recent pleasures,

    Collecting conkers for my Autumn mantlepiece decs as the equinox draws close.

    Still picking and eating our tomatoes.
