    tidy up one area
    order something online 
    update lockdown to do list 
    eat a frog

    Evening all :)
    I've been a bit more productive today o:)
    Walked dog first thing, fed him, fed the birds and topped up the bird bath
    Kitchen clean up, cleaned bathroom
    Load of washing, then stripped bed and did another load. All dried on the line outside :)
    Remade bed
    Watered pots in front garden (lots of walking in and out of the house carrying watering cans, so a bit of a workout)
    Watered seedlings and other plants that needed it in the back garden. It is very dry, and no rain in the upcoming forecast at all.
    Used home grown salad leaves and radishes for lunch
    Ordered dog's flea and worm tablets from the vets. This is covered by membership of their 'pet club' which also covers his annual jabs, and works out much cheaper than paying for these things individually. I will pick them up tomorrow. Apparently you ring when you get there and they bring prescription items out and put them in a box for collection.
    Dinner was mackerel, new potatoes and veg. Rhubarb crumble for pudding :)

    Another very early start for me, couldn’t sleep. It’s likely to be a busy day at work, so will crack on making the dinner so its all cooked.

    Checked banking and budget - no changes to update.
    Check periodically for surveys on PA - managed a couple yesterday 
    Paella and chicken for dinner
    Empty dishwasher 
     Tidy a hotspot 

    Have a good day all
