Weekly Flylady Thread 27th July 2020

Morning ladies! Super sunny here today - I think we are predicted to hit 31 degrees, so I will be wilting and flopping all over the place...

I've had a couple of stressful few days - was helping the hysterical wife of DH's cousin yesterday, who woke up to the awful news that her mum had died in hospital in the night and she hadn't heard the phone ringing asking here to come in when they knew she was going downhill.  Very complex relationship between them and I think this has opened another can of worms...

Lockdown day for one of the incubators today and DH is away scuba diving,  so let's hope I do everything right! I'm on top of the washing and ironing (for once) so will be tackling the bedrooms until lunchtime, when we have been invited out to a SD picnic with some friends.  I need to be watching out for delivery of my kennel run panels and doors at about 9am, so need to get a shimmy on now!

Morning xx
I remade my bed before getting in to it. And made the most of enjoying the clean bed linen by joining the WAC for most of the night. Once the lorries started to come through the village at 4.30 ish I was awake for the day - that's the down side of having all the bedroom windows open - amazing how much noise is kept out by double glazing!  I will adjust and sleep through the noise - well, that's what happened in previous summers so I'm assuming!!! And, again, I dreamed that I couldn't get where I was going to - it's just about every night now: different dreams but the same theme. 

No new symptoms but I still can't taste my brew. Swab day tomorrow.

I was excited to see what Level 1 was today. Sad, but true. My frightening kid is 27 and keeps his own room sorted. The spare room is the RoD. So I'll have a look back at earlier in the week.

DS confided last night that GF has broken his bed!!!!  'GF has made a hole in my bed' he said.. 'How big a hole?' says I. 'A GF sized hole' said DS. 'Doing what?' says I. 'By sitting on it' he said. Now, don't get me wrong, DS and I are not lightweights (by any stretch of the imagination) but GF is worryingly big for one so young. And she plonks rather than sits. We're going to have to find a door / board to put under the mattress. 

I was about to type 'never a dull moment chez Round' and it occurred to me that Mademoiselle is absent. Waves xx

Anyhoo Round 1 =
get washed and dressed
feed the birds
put out the recycling (3 items)
WUDUPA (5 items)
sort washing in to loads
set WM swishing with first load

Bed is already made.

Keep cool everyone and take care.
Stay safe - I see that whole swathes of the North are under new orders - it was''t me!

Morning all.  Lovely sunshine here too.  I drank my first cuppa whilst watering the tubs and the home-grown calceolaria plugs that I finally planted out yesterday evening  - I used the watering can rather than the hose so that the water went to the roots and not to the leaves.
Mind you, I wonder if it's worth keeping my sweet peas and mange tout.  they appear to have a form of white mildew and are not producing many flowers or pods   but I have got a bottle of something that the RHS recommends in the utility cupboard, so will give them a dose and one last chance.
Like you, Narc0, I have just planted some more French beans.  I picked a few this morning, but nearer 25g than Fayolle's 2.5 kg - very envious!

Plans for the rest of today:
- WMx3 including a bedspread and a couple of blankets while it's good drying weather
- hoover and dust all through downstairs
- final adjudication of the Great Strawberry Challenge, post prizes to winners, and take goodies to a friend's children who did their own challenge
- ring my goddaughter's mum
- list on eByGumtree x2
- deliver card to an old lady aged 101 who's just moved into a nursing home because she craved more company than she got in her own home
- order lining material for my new study curtains
- write a list of paint to buy for study and ceilings
[Trying to do all of the above before 12.00 when the sun will make my study too hot to work in]
-  do a little bit of plaster filling in the bathroom and the cupboard under the stairs (a coat hook fell off the wall yesterday morning!)
- sort the freezer drawers
- check dates on food packets in stores and at the same time sort tinned goods so that I can actually see what I've got!
- Rosie's walk and brush (she's going for her annual jabs tomorrow, ssshhhhh!)
- dose the peas, as above
- soak the garden - we're on sandy soil

Catch up later xx

Morning all
DS's bed stripped.  Was going to put the duvet cover etc. through the WM but decided to wash the sheet and pillow cases instead and throw in the pillow protectors too.  They should dry no problem.  
So WM x2 and DW x 1.
I rather suspect it will be a 2 shower day.
i will leave bedroom curtains closed in an attempt to keep it cool.

Morning

Sat  waiting for 8am workmen............... and still waiting..............one did text to say he would be a little after 8am, to me that is 10 to 15 mins or so.....................goodness knows where the other one is.............still no work, no pay............and I am paying them all via basc transfer so I have record of who I paid when, a couple of them  wanted cash, no chance.

General daily stuff is done

Cat is already hot

Windows are open to cause a draft.

Madly crossing our fingers here, grandkids are due next week end and they live up north, just waiting for the postcodes areas or what ever to  be defined as I think they are close to where the cut off area for lockdown may be, I just hope they are outside of it, we have been so looking forward to seeing them, on  the plus side we have not had a phone call from DIL to say they are not coming, but by next weekend it could all be different again!

Round 1 completed + first WM load pegged out. I think 2nd load has just finished swishing - so that can go out next.

P1 British GP on terrestrial telly - that's me sorted for a good part of the weekend then

Dishwasher emptied and reloading commenced.
Breakfast eaten.
Rabbits in pen.
Washing on line.  I have washed two of my four pillow protectors but I have washed all of DS's, so I can't fully make his bed until they have been dried.  And ironed...
My lunch will be Greek salad...nom ... and I shall eat it outdoors.
It's too hot.

Third load of washing pegged out. It's very hot but blowing nicely too.
I've closed the curtains at the front of the house ready for the sun coming round.
I've filled the bird bath so the birdies can have a drink if they need one.
No pots. No washing. What will Weekend Willi do?

Jazee

Work finished for four weeks, dailies done, no dog walks, hair is cut and washing dried and put away.  I am now reclining in the garden.

Valli

washing brought in; DS's pillow protectors ironed and his bed made.  Curtains now closed in there as the sun is on it's way round.  
Jazee - enjoy!
