One load of washing on the line and the next one in the machine. I am taking advantage of the warm weather to wash my oven gloves and apron, mixing them in with towels to balance up to two loads. Small but significant quality of life thing. 😊Tidied and potted up a sad nepeta and some zinnias that have waaaay outgrown their tray into a big pot for the patio. Small but significant stain cleaned from my conscience. 😉
Done some dead heading but the sun is getting too strong / it’s getting too hot, so I have retreated to indoors. Outside is now warmer air than inside so have shut my bedroom windows, drawn the curtains and shut the door!Ploughman’s for lunch 😊 Mr KK will be cooking dinner 😊

Read a novel - fantasy, magic, fighting, honour, love …. Everything. Happy sigh 😊
Finished the deadheading and vanquished the brambles that are slinging themselves across the garden!Had a snooze in the recliner in the garden in the shade - such a blue sky, just lovely 🥰
Didn’t cook dinner - too hot. We both had picky bits. 😉

Enjoying how the ‘picky tea’ is such an illicit pleasure for others too 😊🤩😉
£2.30 arrived in my account from TCB so that got swept off to an OP along with a 12p TT from the joint account.Lazy, manipulative, arrogant report reappeared today like nothing had happened. Did two RTWs with them. Had a long chat with HR about them and what the next steps could / should be …. HR will consult the solicitor and come back to me.Gave my boss the weekly status update in my 1:1 this morning that he demanded in the hideous PDA two weeks back. He started muttering that he couldn’t see the other tasks that needed doing - well that’s because they were already done, months ago. I thought this was just a status update…. 🙄
Helped my boss (German) and one of my reports (Indian) understand each other. They were both speaking English but literally, entirely missing what the other meant … 😂
Numerous other stuff <flaps hand vaguely>.
Booked two days leave next week so get 5 days off over the BH weekend whilst Mr KK is away. ❤️
Mr KK had a text today to confirm that my new mattress *is* coming this Friday! 👏🥳🎉
Cooked quarter pounders for tea tonight (mozzarella veggie burgers for me, @PennysIntoPounds 😊) with onions straight from the garden, cheese slices, burger relish and sliced gherkins only for me 😊 We ate them on the deck outside the living room - a really lovely way to spend an evening ❤️ Mr KK couldn’t finish all of his, so Little Cats got mushed up burger in their ‘special food’ bowl 😊❤️
