I wish I had a bottomless bottle of Prosecco! Enjoy

It turned out there was only enough for one glass but at last the bottle is empty finally as I enjoyed it sitting in the sunshine reading my book.

Another that attracts them too. Last week a homeless man tried to get in my car to get a lift. X

When the new London taxis came in around the early 1990s, I hailed Range Rovers more than once in error...the drivers were not delighted. Love Humdinger xx

I’ve had another productive day. Did a fair bit of cleaning this morning then the sun came out at lunchtime so did some gardening and managed to get some time reading in my hanging chair. 

The plants I picked up from Mr T have been planted - petunias and sunflowers. The bluebells are now dying off and the tamarisk tree is in full bloom.  The next plants making a takeover bid on the garden are geraniums and buttercups but they’re so pretty I can’t bear to pull them up. The wild climbing/rambling rose at the bottom of the garden is also back and about to bloom. It’s spread even further this year and is heading towards next door’s garden. When I pointed these things out to Mr SA he said since when did you become Mrs Titchmarsh 😆

Back to work tomorrow - boo 😒 At least it’s WFH so not too bad.

We have an abundance of Queen Anne's Lace in one corner, which is also too pretty to pull up. DH is telling people we are doing no-mow May. I suppose he's right, in patches!

Morning, happy Tuesday.

WFH today.

Mr M delivery arrived just before 7am, no missing items or subs. I thought the beer and wine might be missing as yesterday was the last day of the offer but as I ordered them before yesterday the offer was still honoured. This week's offer was £2 off ice lollies so bought a box to keep in for when the GKs visit. 

Looked at finances and there was a small underspend of £32.34 across all the spending pots this 4 week period. This is a lot less than there is usually left over so will aim to do better over the next 4 weeks. 

Exercise plan for today is taking the dog on the park shortly, bums & tums at lunchtime and resistance bands tonight. 

Trying a new recipe from the Feel Better app for tonight's dinner - ratatouille orzo bake. I also need to make a batch of soup for work lunches. 

I reached my 1000 day streak on Duolingo this morning 😁

That's an amazing streak on Duolingo - well done! 

Also I'm still in awe of your steps/walking! My average is usually well over 5 miles (10,000 steps) a day, but I know for a fact my feet would be complaining if I tried doubling that!

Apologies for slight hijack SA

Is it here that I've read that a few people use Liz Earle? I'm sure it was on one of the diaries I read most. Tried a search but hopeless.

Anyway, John Lewis have a rather good offer on of £40 off £100 spend where some of the products are reduced 20% already. I know its not cheap cheap but it is a good deal for the brand.

Fantastic effort on Duolingo! I'm still in the early 800s.
