That is a very productive Sunday, b*gger the cleaning! The good thing about cleaning is that it still needs to be done after you've not done it, and then you get more benefit from it, so actually the more you don't do cleaning the more long-term productive you're being *nods sagely*

Aw that's fab the cats are loving roaming in the garden 😻

Glad the cats are having fun, I hope they don’t get any trouble from the neighbourhood cats.

That's my kind of logic!

Love hearing the kitten updates 😻

Thanks @skint_spice and @CCW007 😊

Just done a short piece about the Dark Skies project for Chapel newsletter (in effect the newsletter for our hamlet) and reviewed a planning application that looks both innocuous in intent and potentially politically toxic … sigh ….

Time to slather on cream to my poor, sore hands - my gardening gloves got left out in the rain yesterday and so were unusable today. I did try other gloves but I have ended up with very dry, soil ingrained hands.

Love this - very me.

KK - love the flying jewels. 

Well done on getting to 5.3 months EF at so recently emptying so much out for the car. Sounds like a productive weekend. Hope tomorrow is lovely. I managed to be under cover during the storm today but still at the garden centre so surrounded by plants which was nice in its own way.

They are starting to expect it now as their ‘right’. Much indignation this morning, until I opened the door! 😉 Eventually they will have free rein to come and go just as they please ….

I think the flying jewels came to me as I was down on my hands and knees by the edge of the pond so almost level with them zooming about over the surface of the pond 😊

It’s remarkable how unsettled I felt not having it, when two years ago I had no EF and debts … Things have shifted for me 😊 I can’t take too much credit for rebuilding the EF quickly - my mother’s cheque and the scrag end of my bonus, after taking out a chunk for the bathroom, made a huge difference! 😉😊

Slept right through last night! 🎉🥳👏 Very quiet here atm as Mr KK is still asleep and the kittens are out baby-marauding. 

Targets for the day:
- cleaning - I really should! 😂
- at least two rows of knitting
- ring my mother
- steel myself to ring the councillor who wants to have a meeting about the innocuous looking planning application just to see if he does actually have any valid concerns. Will need to rummage out the guidance I have been given on the grounds we can / can’t object on first so I go in prepped. (I really resent having to deal with this on a BH I have to say!)
- finally track down and order bean poles
- see whether broad beans are ready for harvesting - they were getting close a couple of days ago
- plant up the courtyard pots with begonia and lobelia
- pot on everything in the conservatory that I can’t plant out in the garden yet … 🙄
- reading - currently devouring a very good book about a man who ended up in the court and prison system in the UK after a really poor start in life. 

I think that lot will do!

That is a great pension contribution, decent matches seem to be quite rare now. 

I got bean poles in Home Bargains but they are only 1.2 metres, fine for my broad beans but no use for runners.

The matched contribution level was one of the things that made me stay there when I started looking at another role last summer. 

I got my bean poles from Suregr33n. 

Have tidied up the Black Eyed Susan that I have growing you through the Hoya in the conservatory. This was an experiment a few years ago that seems to be going really well - the leaves are four inches long this year 😊🤷‍♀️
