I think my dream was sort of broken this morning when we took the dog on the park. She kept leaving her ball in the long grass and I asked him to to watch where she was leaving it as I was throwing the ball then doing a bit of litter picking at the same time. He was so busy fiddling with the strap on his new bum bag he forgot to keep an eye on her and I spent ages wandering around the park looking for it 😐 I did find it eventually.

A council bloke spotted me litter picking and wanted to give me a hi vis jacket, bags and a litter picker. I said no to the hi vis but accepted the other things. He gave me a card so I can let him know when the bags are full and they’ll be picked up. Looks like I’m now the park’s official litter picker 😆

An extremely busy day. Have cleaned the whole house, unpacked the suitcases, done all the laundry and resulting ironing. It was an ideal drying day - sunny, windy, dry and warm. The washing was drying faster than I could wash it. Mr SA mowed both lawns but i ran out of time to do any gardening. The house smells lovely and clean though.

Mr M order for tomorrow updated.

Got back into the swing of it by doing the live WW strength training session before having a long soak in the bath.

Then cooked dinner - roast salmon with potatoes and veg for me, sausage, mash and veg for Mr SA. He had the cheek to ask me what it was when I put the plate in front of him!!

Finally sitting with my feet up, I’m shattered.

You have been busy! But it's always gratifying after cleaning when you have a lovely spick and span house.

Re Mr SA's remark - I'd be tempted to confiscate all his man bags but he'd only use it as an opportunity to buy more...... Dinner tipped over head is more practical!😂

Forgot to say, I was briefly sitting outside reading a chapter of my book when a large black ladybird with one red spot on each wing landed on me. Googled it as I don’t recall ever seeing a black ladybird before. Apparently it’s called a harlequin ladybird so have learned and seen something new today 😎

Mr SA is driving me nuts tonight as we are having to watch his many recorded episodes of Gogglebox. I like Gogglebox but there are only so many times you can watch it 😩 He reckons there’s nothing else on TV 😬

Re the cleaning, I had to wait until DD had gone to work to do it as she thinks she’s kept the house clean and gets upset if she thinks I’m not happy with it. She has anxiety issues as well as agoraphobia and epilepsy. In effect I’m an unpaid carer for two adults as I doubt DD would be able to cope on her own long term. On a positive note she’s on my side when Mr SA is misbehaving plus her board comes in handy.

Thank you for taking us on your holidays with you. I really enjoyed seeing your photos.

I've seen an Antonov land at Manchester. It's awesome!

Good to hear from you, hope you are ok. 15 weeks today you’ll be suffering my photos of Zante 🤣 Our holidays are the only time we get to go anywhere due to no car and difficulties getting Mr SA out and about. It’s easier for us to go abroad than anywhere in this country.

The Antonov is massive, it was at East Midlands yesterday. I often wonder how such huge planes fly.
