  • Morning :smile: quiet on here yesterday. I've been up several hours, again with the need to be deadly silent! Have pottered around and tidied up the kitchen, finished altering the bodice of my pattern and watched a really interesting video - self help/motivation kind of thing. 

    Today:
    * more decorating. Think we can fill all the holes & cracks and paint the ceiling :smile:
    * do load of washing & hang on airer. Put away clothes currently on the airer.
    * dust and polish and vacuum through after yesterday's sanding session
    * Possibly cut out fabric for bodice
    * get madam's stuff ready for school
    * write up lunch meal plan
    * stew some apples for roast pork and a crumble

    Think I will be driving to collect madam later so don't want to give myself too much to do. Hope you all have a lovely Sunday :smiley:

    Morning all :)
    Truly vile weather here again, so another indoor day. I will get out for a walk with the dog if it eases off, he is really reluctant even to go out in the garden in it, and keeps giving me tragic stares as though I had personally arranged for horrible wet stuff to fall out of the sky just to pi$$ him off :D 
    No plans for spending, or going anywhere else!
    I am boiling up quinces to start off the jelly making process, which makes the house smell nice, if a little steamy. Must put the extractor on in a minute. OH has lit the stove to cheer up the place (and warm it up). Rather that than put the heating on. I have taken pesto out of the freezer for dinner, and scones for snacks. There is also some soup left over, that will do for lunch.
    I want to list some items on ebay if it gets light enough to take some decent photos.
    Other than that, no special plans. I might choose a couple of cupboards or drawers to sort out.
