    A lovely morning today in the sun, took Winnie to a local town with a market, had a mooch around there, watched the boats at the Quay, got Mum a planted basket for Mothers Day, then came home. Winnie is snoozing, I need to get on with the washing / housework merry-go-round.

    Two more weeks until we break up for Easter, I'm looking at hiring a skip to clear the garage and have a good clearout. I've got various bits of wood / old wardrobe etc that are too big for my tiddly little car to take to the tip, and the thought of a skip fills me with joy :) :)
