Simple living in the country - back to basics

Hi we use an  inner tube on the end of our guttering on one of the greenhouses which then goes into the water butt.

Aha, that might well be the genuine idea I need! The plastic things I have now fit inside the gutter, so the water has to go up before it goes down - will experiment with an inner tube, thank you!

Evening MSE chums 😊😊

Lovely day here 😊 Nice long breakfast with friends who stayed, Mr Cheery and one pal had a drum battle (he has two kits set up at the minute 😂😂). We'd half planned a walk, but it's been quite soggy, so we went into town instead, wandered round some tourist hotspots and had a cuppa in a cafe.

Mr Cheery has gone to do a gig, and I've just had an unintentional nap on the sofa 😂😂

I was planning to create a list, but I'm just going to chat with my sister instead. That'll likely be at least an hour (it's the end of the month, so our goals meeting 😂) so here's a vague list of possibilities depending how lively I am when that finishes:

* washing up
* banking
* video editing
* nice bath
* epilating
* film
* another nap 😂
* happy wheel

Some combination of those will do!

Hmmmm if it was me I'd opt for film, possibly nap during the film and then a bath. The others could wait.

Sensible - I didn't even manage that! Washed some dishes (not pans), happy wheel, then another nap 😂

HW down again, now at £158. Prolific £27 odd cleared. £200 extra in August still possible but not guaranteed...

No plans for tomorrow. We're out of milk - forgot while in town, and then Mr Cheery forgot on the way home 🙄 May do cafe in the morning, or i might just nip to village shop.

Other things on the list for tomorrow

* workout
* put clothes away in bedroom
* wash pans
* meal plan
* possibly some batch cooking for when visitors are here
* scything - finish row 9, get at least halfway down row 10
* other garden pottering
* banks/YNAB

That'll probably do, a nice pottering day 😊

Ooh your scything is going really well. Sounds like you are having a lovely weekend

Well somehow I didn't even wake up til after 9 today, and didn't get up til after 10 😱 Done a workout, but haven't even made it into the shower, and there's no milk for tea 😱

So I'm anticipating it won't be the world's most productive day 😂

Sometimes it's needed and that's fine! There's always tomorrow.

Cheery - it is just that kind of a day! - and that's what days off are for

I woke up at 6am before the alarm even went off & by 7am I was back in bed and fast asleep - didn't get out of bed until 10:30 & am still in pjs.  I put a load in however (that was sorted yesterday) or I'll have no underpinnings to wear after tomorrow - 😂

I got grumpy with OH when he tried to tell me that my time would be better spent organizing my desk that the larder & freezer. - The cheek of it, given that I need to finish a meal plan & we have to fetch groceries today.  (I might add that he's been up since about 7am and only managed to play computer games until I woke up and he decided to wash the dishes and make some coffee. - SIGH)

So needless to say it's almost noon and we are both still lolling about in PJs without a thought to doing anything but!
