    What a lovely end to the day,we took the dog for a walk up the lane through the fields and it was still warm,I love this walk because it leads to horses and goes along a lovely footpath through the farmers fields
    We came back and I had a nice cool shower and put my pjs on

    I've been sat here with the door open until it got dark ,the chickens stayed out until dark then went to bed,I love the light nights because they get to stay out in the garden for longer and if I'm out during the day there is still usually time to let them out for a potter in the evening,I hate shutting them in the run but have to if I'm not here because of our resident foxes

    Tomorrow I'm getting up no later than 9am because I want to get stuff done and I seem to be spending most of my morning in bed on my days off, it's sooo nice not to get up at 5.30 so I sleep in a lot,I don't think this is doing me any good as I find it hard to get going when I do eventually get out of bed,so I'm starting a new regime of 9am wake ups,I get up at 5.30 two days a week and 6.15 on the day I have DGS so that leaves four days to get up at 9, it's still a four hour lie in

    Tomorrow we are going for a walk to the quay with the dog,we are going earlier in the day if it's still warm so it's not too hot for her,I also want to do some bits in the garden so don't want to be out all day
    DD only has two days left of her Easter break so she wants to do something before she goes back to uni

    Sounds like a lovely day.

    I am always up quite early because of little one, and to be honest, I like that. It means that I get quite a bit done by mid morning. This morning i have been the Easter bunny and left chocolate eggs round the entire garden.

    I bet the chickens like the lighter nights as well.

    Enjoy the quay today. x

    I am a night owl for sure,I hate getting up early :rotfl:on days like today where it's hot during the day I spend as much time outside as possible then I do my housework in the evening when the suns gone in,when I get up in the morning the house is tidy and done for the day so I can do whatever I feel like doing that day

    My garden will be great for Easter egg hunts when DGS is older as it's quite big with lots of hiding places :)

    Yay I got up at 9 :j
    Today is even hotter than yesterday,I love it :j
    We had a lovely walk to the quay,we stopped for a coffee at a dog friendly cafe that we haven't been in before and they sell doggy ice cream so I got B one and she loved it,it was even a healthy snack because it was enchancec with glucosamine,omega 3s and lots of vitamins

    We have just got back so I'm sitting down with a cup of tea to rest my legs before I go out and do some it's in the garden,I'm plant g my lettuce seeds today and also making a start on lining the pallet ready to start filling the up

    The only downside is that next door is also home so I've got to listen to their kids shouting abuse at each other interspersed by their parents yelling at them,they don't seem to realise that if you talk calmly to your kids they will do likewise!

  • Glad you enjoyed your river walk :).

    I hope you manage to plant your lettuce seeds without hearing too many swear words from next door :eek:.
