    I have been busy, honest! Just maybe not as busy as some....

    I went to big town this morning as the shops opened to return a pair of shorts that I bought last week. Slinky obviously hasn’t gone as well as hoped, iyswim. Although I haven’t gained this last week, I haven’t lost either. Add to that, stopping my pathetic jogging routine last year has changed my shape back again. Not in a good way :(. Anyway, shorts exchanged for different cut and different size.
    I went to the allotment and finally planted some beans and courgettes. This afternoon has been garden tidying and pot washing, and HHI.
    We are off out this evening for a friend’s birthday which will be nice. Unfortunately it’s a 3 hour round trip which means ..... that actually I should be off here and getting showered and ready.
    Have a lovely evening.

    It’s been a gorgeous day here!

    4 loads washed and dried on line
    Bed stripped and changed to summer duvet
    DH did food shop and mowed the lawns and then we both pottered round in the garden for a couple of hours, it was really enjoyable and the gardens look lovely now.
    S\S of kitchen bathroom and en suite done and also went for a swim this afternoon.

    Plan for tomorrow is to do all the indoor jobs missed this week as weather not supposed to be so good. DH will also tackle the ironing.

    Have a good evening all

    Bathroom cleaned
    Bath mats washed
    2xwm dried outside
    5 mins weeding done when I picked up a bird feeder that our squirrel family has destroyed.
    HH finance s/s updated
    Dance school attended

    Not feeling too good. I have to have a liver scan apparently according to a letter that I have kept to myself. I don’t drink or smoke so I put it down to stress.
    Dancegran is still quiet and sleeping a lot. She is also not eating much. Not helped by her carers not fetching her shopping yesterday when they should have. She had a blood test Friday but they couldn’t get any blood.

    I think everything is on course for the funeral on Wednesday.

    Narco I feel for you having to wrangle with SW x

    Happy holidays Ionafan, thanks for the wave.x

    Good morning all

    Feels like it might be a bit cooler today. I know I shouldn’t complain but it was a bit ot for me yesterday working in the garden!!

    Plan on getting my inside jobs done nice and early this morning, if it is nice but not too warm we may go out to a local natty trust place for a wander later on.

    Also need to pop to the shop for a couple of bits that were missed off the list yesterday.

    WM swishing, decided to do the throws off the sofa as it is breezy so they shouldn’t take long to dry.

    Right, dishes away, then another cup of tea to get me moving then shower and on with the day!

    Have a lovely day all.

    Morning all. Hugs where needed.

    I've not posted for a couple of days as busy with paid stuff. Been doing different hours which restricts flying time. I did get the back grass cut yesterday.

    Today I would like to tackle the weeding but also have some paperwork to help DH with which has a deadline of tomorrow. He's been sitting on it for over a month so aaargh! DH is on day four of no drinking so he should be more focused now. No choice really, he was about to lose everything.

    Right, time to wash up dishes, shower and walk the dogs.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Morning :wave:

    Weather forecast says rain this morning - I've hung the washing on the airer and stood it outside so that I can bring it in quickly when it rains. Sunshine forecast for tomorrow and I plan to wash towels at the crack of dawn and hang them out before I go to work.

    I've completed a Mr T order to be delivered tomorrow evening.

    Pots next.

    Have a good day xx
