Well done on the uni contract

OH has been out and washed his motorbike and is muttering about going out on it this afternoon, I'm not happy about it as I don't think he s fit enough, however his argument is when he starts chemo he is even less likely to be able to ride it.............

I've painted both side of the gate fence, which is drying in the sun.

Shelled fresh peas from next door's garden, plus they sent round a load of new potatoes, yum yum

Narco.. excellent news re contract.. and speedy recovery vibes for OH

ASB.. have some extra sticks.. I don't need many thankfully so you can have a hole bundle.. enough to build a house of a piglet!!

Washing out on the line

Table cleared.

Duvet in the wash and Boogs clothes in the other..

I have 2 parcels to package
Twinkle is at opticians at 3:40 .. SPEEEEDDDDDYYYY School pick up needed.

Kitchen is a swamp but I am not sure I can cope with cleaning it today... I feel likeI have no bones and my migraine will be back in a few days rendering me utterly useless for another 3.

Work reports finished and taken to work where a whole lot more admin was done, but it's all done now.

Went shopping and OH met me there, much easier as he has a big car and mine is tiny

Shopping now all away

OH cutting the grass, hope he finishes before the rain

TGI Friday!

Well it's Friday...
house is a tip and likely to remain so for the foreseeable.  It's hot, fan on in bedroom  not blowing at me directly as it triggers arthritis or rheumatism.  *heads off to google*

It's a tricky one isn't it.  Mr N hadn't been near his and he's only going to be 'off' for a few weeks compared with your OH; it's a pity in the nice weather and frustrating to see them just sitting there (the bikes not the men!). What bike has he got?

Thanks for all the good wishes; Mr N feels a lot better today. He's had no discomfort from the eye and has fairly happily pottered around. In fact he spent a lot of time researching then ordering a new camera in readiness for the return to birdwatching as his current one is temperamental - sometimes beaten by my phone camera to get a decent shot.   BIL and I said we'd contribute as Mr N's birthday (70th - eek) in August, plus I found one shop did cashback for one of the lenses.   At least once the new kit arrives next week he can play with it, as long as he takes shots straight ahead or looking up rather than down.

Thanks too re my new contract. I read through the feedback which is just the various scores we got for qualifications, cost, availability, references and sustainability. It sounds as if "candidate C" was pushing their luck, whoever they were , as they scored 25/40 for qualifications and 2/10 for references.....

Did a pile of washing up this morning.
Fed and watered all plants in greenhouse or pots.
Delivered a zoom lesson.
Booked another Zoom meeting, seems a lad I assessed 5 years ago has had issues and would like advice.
Harvested some rhubarb and made an oat coconut crumble with it.
Had a chat with my brother as it's his birthday and he's alone in Scotland, having just finished one 2-week event and about to start another (1 week) before his wife joins him for a few days in Yorkshire.
Did a bit of basic tidying but seemed to spend a lot of the day resting in sympathy with Mr N.
have a good weekend everyone.

Morning xx 

Where is everyone? Have I missed the flylady bus trip again? Or maybe you are all lost in the fog. Or having a well earned lie in? 

My bed is made and my first brew has been savoured. Initial plan is to savour another brew, then have a shower and get dressed.

- throw out flowers
- feed the birds 
- put out the rubbish and recycling 
- put away pots that were LTD
- clear airer and put it away

Hugs and oodles of love to you all.

what fog?

have pegged out washing because there's only a 50% chance of rain *laughs hysterically*
loads to do - shall intersperse various sitting down (work) tasks with actual flying.
Have decluttered grey roots.

Morning all.  It's a long time since I have been woken by my alarm!  Feeling better for a decent night's sleep - I woke briefly before it was light, re-built my heap of pillows and got straight back off to sleep

So far this morning I have
- made a cuppa and read for half an hour
- opened windows and aired upstairs
- eaten breakfast
- S&S'd the kitchen
- cut DH's hair (and he has trimmed round the back of my neck)

The plan for this morning is to tidy up the front garden, just in case the weather stays dry long enough for the Old Wives to meet here on Monday afternoon - though the weather fronts seem to have changed direction yet again and the forecasters change their minds every half hour.  DH has agreed to help trim the tall bushes.  I will leave my shower until later because there is lots of dust outside: we are on sandy soil which dries out very quickly.

DH is going wargaming this afternoon, so after I've taken Rosie for her walk I shall either try to carry on gardening or play with the ancestors.

Hope everyone gets a good rest at some point today xx
