More hugs Dizzy.
Started the day with a ParkRun substitute. Though I'm still very slow and sound like a pervy heavy breather, I never thought I'd get to the stage when my last 2 runs were longer than the 5km ParkRun.
Another day of pruning and shredding. Veg and greenhouse tended to. Most things doing well other than peas which are having each new leaf devoured by slugs as soon as they appear.
1 load through dw.
Spent a lot of time watching baby blue tits - does that count as flying?Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.11 -
Dexter may your clip clop over the rainbow bridge see the sweetest greenest grass waiting just for you.
piggers hope your hand is on the mend and the old paint isn't finishing you off xxx
Still flying off piste again, courtesy of a shed load of painkillers. I am struggling to remember what I've done yesterday and today, but my body says it's been a lot.
I will have a think and come back and edit in what I've done rather than post again
Hugs everyone xxx

Morning everyone, sorry to read about the depart of Dexter, and hope those of you not feeling well are all on the mend.
Yesterday flying was limited to basics, but did tidy round, hoover and wipe the kitchen so not deteriated. But FROG tackled. I think I've finished the tax return. I'm going to go through it once more today and then will check it all with OH tonight and send it off (it is all online).
Need to get on with bits today as we're off on Friday for a long weekend, going to other house and see DD2, first time since mid March. I'm SO excited, but a bit worried about how the house will be, we usually go every 2 or 3 weeks not months so wondering if I left anything in the fridge or worse.
Bed made, clothes picked up
Sandwiches made for OH
Banking and finances checked
Off now to put some washing on

Morning xx
Hugs to Dizzy xx
Wow skint - I'm worn out just reading what you've done. xx But I'm pretty sure today is Thursday. Pondering. Yes it must be - the binmen have just been and they come on a Thursday. I guess it's not just me having trouble working out what day it is xx I'm down to 'a work day' and 'not a work day' as long as I get that right it doesn't much matter what day it is.
WAC finally caught up with me yesterday - I felt bleugh all day with a headache which was affecting the sight in my left eye. And I fell asleep in my chair just after half seven. I think I might have achieved a full night's sleep but The Beast (new phone) alerted at 5.25am. Alerted to what? I have no idea. I thought that noise meant a text had arrived but nope. The Beast is now on silent!!!
Gentle fluttering will occur today - I'm still feeling fragile.
Round 1 =
