Weekly Flylady Thread 22nd June 2020

I'm in Tigger mood again girls - sorry!
Got up early today as DH is off scuba diving so I packed him a lunch to take and had a cool shower to start the day off.  So far all animals and children fed and Kevin the Billy Goat behaved so I think he likes me. Small dayboarder arrived and is currently blasting round the orchard with Golden Boy, so they're happy.

I've just recorded a video for lockdown Day 18 on our eggs in the incubator, for my SSD to edit and upload to our You Tube channel.  I'm not photogenic in the slightest and hate being on film, but as DH is not here, it had to be me.  Three days to go until they start to hatch - keep fingers crossed for a good result!

Flying has so far consisted of emptying the DW and putting stuff away and a load in the WM.  I'm currently trialling a new, improved laundry powder for an Eco company and so far, I'm impressed.  Super clean results, plus my septic tank isn't screaming at me!  I have to send them my thoughts good/bad in a week or so, but so far, so good.

As it's hot again, I shall just be pottering today - stay cool and hydrated xxx

It's lovely to see you so happy, Dizzy.  There've been some tought times and we have worried about you.

Washing on line, rabbits in pen.  Dug over part of the top section of the veg patch yesterday as I could see regimented rows of shoots - sure enough - some sections of grass roots each sending up multiple shoots.  Hip is uncomfortable; I have given in and taken ibuprofen.  Throat hurts but I suspect that's the heat/sleeping with a fan blowing.

I like ASBs definition best
2 loads of washing done.  Asthma inhaler deployed during the night, pleased to say I'm no longer wheezing. Round I too had my hair up in a pony tail. Probably a Falabella.

Had to look that one up as well!  And I agree about asb's definition

I watered the garden at 6.00, while it was still lovely and cool.All curtains and blinds are currently closed on the west side of the house, but it will soon be time to open them up and shut off the west side instead.  

Nothing much achieved since, except that I have started the DW and written one email sadly lacking in memorable news. 
I need/want to
- write another email
- make some phonecalls
- do WMx2
- spray the bathroom floor with mould remover yet again
-  finish sewing up the nurse doll
- plant out the zinnias and sunflowers that I have grown from seed, with the possibility of showers returning tomorrow
- take Rosie for a walk late this evening, as the forecast is for 30 degrees by 5.00 pm.
It feels very lazy, compared to what most of you are trying to fit into a day.

We have an afternoon of video chats.. viledin lesson at 1, Squeak at 2 and Pixie at 2:30..

First job has to be to call opticians..
I am doing more glossing today.. OH is getting the sanding to do and more filling and I am doing the grey gloss inthe hallway then the black and OH can gloss the 8 million stair spindles.. because I simply do not want to do them..
I need to empty the old bathroom cabinet into the new much smaller bathroom cabinet and get the old one cleaned so it can go to DIL's
I have 1 ebeast item to post.. £18.20 thank you very much.. that is half my carpet money got already.. so I am encouraged to list more stuff I know should shift quickly.
I also need to contact ISP to get the bill reduced.. cheeky beasts are advertising my package £4 a month less.. that will do me..

finishing my cuppa and cracking on.

Hello.  First work shift, dailies and garden watering done.  Too hot again for a dog walk.  I am now sitting down while DH makes my lunch.  Second of four wash loads is in the machine.

Good afternoon

just breaking for lunch, 2 loads washed and put out this morning and brought in again now as all dry! At least the weather is good for something, my office is already pretty hot and the sun hasn’t got around to that side of the house yet... eeek!

Im not going to fly this lunchtime, I’m going to sit in a shady spot in the garden and relax for a bit.

hope you are all ok x

Lunch eaten
Kitchen straight again
DW has been on and I have unloaded it
WM on 2nd load
Arranged an afterlunch coffee in the garden with friends for next week (we've been trying for more than 4 weeks)
Sorted a date for end of term get together
Like ionafan I need to go and open up one side of the house and close the other side down, that way we stay lovely and cool,
I need to hoover, the cats are shedding everywhere

kazwookie

Not a lot done today so far, except 'oversee' the removal of red diesel out of a tank, all pumped out and gone.

Very hot here, so will do some paperwork in the shade for a while

Removed 2 nasty looking flies removed from the kitchen, with the hoover nozzle to suck them up.

Love it!
Work done, no I will not stay for another couple of hours unpaid - apart from anything else, it is just too darn hot.

Lunch being eaten while I type. 1 load of washing has dried. I’m not sure that I cba to do any more. Really should wash my hair and clean the ensuite / bedroom....

I have just been the recipient of some amazing, totally unexpected Flylady kindness. I am lost for words, but seemingly able to cry xx
