Wednesday was hot, hot, hot 🥵 & no breeze. I finally got DH to set up my new F*tb*t as the old one gave up the ghost 😖 I walked to MrA - a shorter queue outside but had to wait longer - no explanation. I appeared to be the only one following the arrows & trying to keep the 2m spacing. So in the end I just tried to get round as quickly as possible - I was grateful that I was wearing a face mask.  No problems at the checkout but had bought too much although nothing that was not on my list 🙁 Twenty minute wait for a bus 🙁 but at least the sun was shining & I had water 🙂 DH watered the garden. Couple of nice socially distanced chats with neighbours. Dinner was salad - used some more of our hg lettuce.

940 - 944 Two cardboard boxes, plastic bottle, kitchen recycling, magazine - Recycled
945 - 946 Bag of kitchen detritus, plastic packaging - Binned

Well done bit_by_bit - following Jacinda’s message which seems so much easier than our gubberment’s (stet) I managed to kill off most of my lavender 🙁 but saved 2 small plants which have been moved to a sunny spot & have revived. 

Good work on the decluttering oceanspirit 👏 Hope your new system of ‘To Do lists’ works  - I think it is a great idea & might even ‘borrow’ this idea as an aid to actually doing some decluttering 😉 My get up & go has got up & gone - packed its bag & went on the holiday that DH & I should now be on - the guided motorcycle tour of Wild West America - we were supposed to fly out yesterday 🙁 😭 😢 

TC77, I think our Decluttering Mojo went off hand in hand & is now sharing a motorcycle in America 🤣 Well done on keeping your numbers ticking over 👏 

Rather please that I took on the cheerleading role as having no ‘thanks’ icon is rather annoying 😡 

Thursday is another summer day & I am hopeful that I will actually get an olive crop this year 🤞 

BE KIND. STAY SAFE. BREAK THE CHAIN. SAVE LIVES.

I sadly rarely use the forum now since the new version was introduced and Am still getting threads from topics long ago.  Where is the "unsubscribe to this thread" invitation which used to be part of the email notifying you somebody had responded please?  I can,t find it anywhere and nobody from the IT team ever seemed to out up a "sticky" thread with a tutorial for non techies like me sadly!

Thanks for all my gold stars Mrs SD.  Certainly never had that many.  The owner of the horses on our land is removing them for a few months to give the grass a chance to grow back.  He's already taken the foal.  The grandkids are going to be disappointed when they are finally able to come and visit.  We went to St. Leonard's on Tuesday.  I sat in the car overlooking the sea and DH went for a walk on the beach.  There were people around, but not that many.  I notice that a lot of the pictures in the paper are taken with a tele-photo lens, which shortens the distance between people.  Everyone was socially distancing.

I bought a new 'quiet' fan for the bedroom - we have very low ceilings - and it's just as noisy as the old one.  We have one granddaughter's birthday in June and one in July so we'll be de-cluttering money - one wants a Barbie ambulance and the other a nintendo switch game.

Stay safe everyone - and remember not to be socially distant with people - we all need someone to talk to - but to remain physically distant.

Thursday was hot, hot, hot 🥵 🥵 🥵. DH went to sm to pick up the heavy stuff 😉 Gave a bag of hg lettuce to a 3rd neighbour. Long chat to other neighbours. DH sorted out the wormery whilst I did the weeding - half an hour out in the sun was quite enough 😥 

I finished reading Book 2 of the Shipyard Girls series & started Book 3. Dinner was salad including hg lettuce & cold meats.

Sounds like a lovely trip out ailz95 🙂. Tele-photo lenses 🙄 ridiculous isn’t it - I am with you on physically distancing rather than socially distancing. I don’t think there is such a thing as a quiet fan - isn’t that an oxymoron 😂 😉

BE KIND. STAY SAFE. BREAK THE CHAIN. SAVE LIVES.

I'm very sad as the cs bag wasn't picked up yesterday so it's back in the office. Never mind I'll get over it but I even put in an unloved hoodie. I never thought that getting a cs bag and filling it would give me pleasure.Today I shall start to go through some of my clothes again as I'm sure I can cull the pack.

Have a good day declutterers. Stay safe and well
