It seems the rental has a gardener! he rocks up this afternoon, knocks on the door, OH open the door, to him, and gets, 'where are the weeds?' Kaz pulled them out about 2 weeks ago goes OH, grumble grumble from the gardener as it seems I didn't pull them up in the correct way!!    he is still out there now...................

Dinner done

Washing in

YORKSHIRELASS

Fayolle the neighbours probably go on Mr Ts website just before midnight and queue - have done it once because it was the only way we could get a slot. 

Tired tonight, work was hard going and I did my exercise class first thing.  No flying done except the absolute basics, will try and catch up tomorrow.

Evening all x
WM x3 and TD and winterdyke as needed. Made the chicken and leek pie it was a beauty to behold. Trashed the kitchen in the process but it’s cleaned up again. DD is really feeling it today we should have left this afternoon for Florida so she’s a bit down in the dumps. 

Kaz can he not just be pleased that someone helped him do his job and he’s getting paid for nothing?

Kaz that is such a kind offer. I am happy to pay towards some bits & the postage if Mademoiselle takes you up on it, I’ve been on the receiving end of FL kindness so would like to do something for another xx

Thank you every one for your well wishes, it seems to feel like it has been a long slog just to be well again.

Afraid I didnt end up doing anything much today but I did hang out the fleece blankets, that I washed yesterday, and put a towel wash on to put out tomorrow.

Groomed the cats as I have a poorly one, the older of the three has caught a chill and is sneezing a lot. Probably caught it by sitting in front of the open window as she doesn't go out, beingbab indoor cat. The other two just had the odd sneeze but she got it bad..poor lamb. Still she is still eating, playing etc...just doing a fair bit more sleeping in comfy spots 😃

Tomorrow I'm going to pick the rhubarb out the front, didn't do it today, and deposit it around the doorsteps of the neighbours that like it. There is way too much for us 😃 And I have no room in the freezer..lol

Stripped the bed earlier so have to make it before bed. Wrote a couple of letters and posted them while walking the dog on our daily exercise.

Going to sit here with a cuppa and sort out my cross stitching to do..

Hugs and love to all xxx

Rhubarb jam is on my to do list, Natty.  As is wild garlic butter.  Plus going to pick it gives me a purpose for a walk - I want to go somewhere, as opposed to just rambling.  I'm so lucky as I can get to the country park as it's just over there *points* and it's where I forage sloes (sloe gin) and sweet chestnuts (if I CBA and there's only one tree and I'm not the only one who knows about it).  Kitchen done.  My bed stripped and remade, washing brought in.  Did more wfh than I actually intended to today.  So pleased it's that room tomorrow; can follow on from my bed change!  
I've done well with the knitting - back (of cardigan) finished, now doing front left.  And I'm still researching a small patchwork project.

The usual limited, but generally contented, activities.
Cleared and wiped kitchen worktops.
Fed and watered all conservatory and house plants.
Sowed white carrots. Yes, white! I saw them when searching for seeds online so thought I would give them a try. 
Did a load of pruning. 
Watered greenhouse.
Went through a load of emails and replied. Did a few of my email 'tasks' like reading articles.
Did an online keep fit class.
Closed one PO account which has dropped interest worse than useless and opened another with marginally better. How ridiculous that I need to - a new account number, ID number and password - why couldn't they just have the one account? Anyway it's been on my task list since November.

Worried for some of the night about a lady who posted on our village FB that she had 3 kids, couldn't get out and did someone know of anywhere who could deliver he essential foods today (she posted about 8pm last night).  I couldn't work out why she had 'no food' when places were offering to deliver on Tuesday.  In the end I posted back saying if she was desperate I could walk to the village shop and get her a few things to tide her over, or if she was really desperate I could drive to the nearest town for her. I got a lovely reply back thanking me but actually she lived in another town about 8 miles away! I'm not generous enough to walk that far, and she's actually geographically almost right on top of a huge Mr T so hopefully she will find someone to go for her. 

Had a nice message left from MIL's home; they are all well and virus free. No news regarding my SIL's mum. My friend's daughter, who sounded as if she had caught the lurgy in hospital recently, is now responding to antibiotics at home so presumably it is a chest infection. 

Just preparing myself for a 3rd or maybe 4th midnight vigil to try and get a May Mr T delivery or c&c; the last 2 nights I've got as far as the queue but not got a slot. Oh well gives me time to catch up on more task /email culling.  Won't waken the neighbours playing with the virtual drum kit I have found..........
