    Back to work today.  It's very refreshing not to have to do the school run as well, it feels like I've got hours of uninterrupted concentration time!  Of course that won't be the case once everyone else starts logging on and the kids start pestering for food, though they've already had breakfast.  I was up bright and early so that I can finish in time for dinner tonight and am already halfway through the gazillions of emails that seem to have landed since Thursday.

    I need to find a good deal on hayfever tablets today, as we are nearly out, and my hayfever is bad today.   I've also got to order my shopping for tomorrow, and that budget will be limited to whatever is left in my current account.  Roll on Friday!

    Have a good day! I’m also counting down to Friday. I did some pot borrowing and need to shuffle it back!

    You've done well with all you had to do.
    I hope your hay fever is under control.
    I'm glad the week is over for you and almost over for me too  :)

    Can you transplant the lavender? Or will it be ok where it is? It sounds like my winter pansies which died in the hanging basket and then self seeded a complete carpet of multicoloured pansies all over the drive. 
    Enjoy your lovely long weekend.

    It's in a crack on the step, I'm not sure I could get it out without damaging it, but I might have a go.  I love lavender!

    Enjoy your weekend too :)
