Pair of slipper I bought for after last op when feet would be fat, now sloppy so am washing them and see if |OK for charity bag. Minced absolutely loads of banana peel to be used on garden and am going to make banana curry later for freezer, will still leave a few for brekkie and shake. I took hangers to a CS and they were pleased to get them, maybe not all would take them but worth a try. Using toilet roll innerds to plant a few more seeds (crop rotation). Found some bamboo skewers from when I used to have BBQs (about 15 yrs ago) so have put by my baby pea plants instead of buying canes.0

I work in m and s and we always take hangers from customers who bring them in. And recycle them with ours. XFocus on contribution instead of the impressiveness of consumption to see the true beauty in people.0

1. SMALL TASKS WILL BE DONE ASAP
2. I WILL LEAVE A ROOM TIDIER THAN WHEN I ENTERED
3. KITCHEN WILL BE LEFT CLEAN & TIDY EVERY NIGHT
4. WHEN DEALING WITH CLUTTER I WILL USE ‘Daisy1571’s idea of ‘WHAT WOULD I DO WITH THIS ITEM IF IT WAS SOMEONE ELSE’S ?’
5. IF I WAS STARTING FROM SCRATCH, WOULD I BUY THIS?
6. BE LIKE A POSTAGE STAMP - STICK TO ONE THING UNTIL YOU GET THERE
A mixed bag weather wise - when the sun was shining it was hot, hot, hot but when the clouds came & the wind got up it was rather chilly. The rain came at just the right time - BEFORE I watered the garden :rotfl: I did water in the morning & change the birdies water. Another bits & pieces day. I forgot to say yesterday that I made a rather disappointing focacciaBoth lots of ‘proving’ saw big rises but when cooked it was more like a flatbread
Checked the yeast pot & the yeast was ood :eek: Tried again today with ‘in date’ yeast & guess what .... drumroll please .........
It looked like a focaccia, smelt like a focaccia & will, fingers crossed 🤞, taste like a focaccia. It is for my cousin’s BBQ & I will be proud to give it to her, along with a jar of home grown, home pickled olivesPhoned the dairy & cancelled our milk delivery until 5th June - we are off to Bonny Scotland for a week doing the Round Britain Rally. I moved a lettuce & a tomato plant to their final resting places, bit the bullet & went through my glass jars & got rid of a few. Read my magazine, did the competitions & recycled - all in a day
DH had bought some ‘Bee Bombs’ so dug out, weeded & sifted a 1 square metre patch of earth & added the ‘Bee Bombs’. Actually had 5 bees on one plant today :j - 4 more than we usually get :rotfl: Finished off the hm soup & had with the flat focaccia :rotfl: DH also moved the bird feeder stand & seeded the original location. He has now started making a frame for netting to stop the squirrels digging up our first attempts at growing vegetables :rotfl: Dinner was fish fingers, oven chips & garden peas.

Went through DS toy room and gave it a good clean, nothing to give away or take out and re arranged it all so it is like he has new toys
Now I have pretty much done the house I am making a start on the garden, tidying that up and making it a nice place for me and DS to go out and chill (it's already lovely its just general maintenance)
