Happy weekend.
Breathe, Roundtuit and find something to enjoy this weekend.
Lovely lake swim this morning although wind rather biting so cold getting dressed.
Have sown 5 trays of seeds; greenhouse warmed by the sun so the best place to be.
Have checked and emailed a report.
Now tea and rugby beckons, followed by getting a grip on putting clothes into new wardrobes as even I am getting fed up of the mess that is the spare bedroom.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.10 -
Well done for surviving the week, round x
Another day out today with K and the girls and Rosie. It was quite chilly, and DH and I turned the heater up a few notches when we got back in the car to come home. At tea time one child ate all the risotto I put in front of her and asked for more; the other picked at hers for ages, and in the end I lost patience and put most of it in Rosie's dish, to her (R's) delight.
I managed to do WMx4 before and after we went out - mostly bedclothes, as DH and I stripped both beds this morning, and K helped me make them up with fresh linen while tea was cooking.
DS1&Co are coming for a meal tomorrow. I must go and dive into the freezer to find the joint that is lurking somewhere at the bottom, and put it out to defrost overnight. Please send out a search party if I don't appear on the new thread!

Morning all,1 load of washing out on the line
Sun is out, so:
QHI done
scotch pancakes rustled up (did someone say slinky? 😳)
seedlings - or lack of - looked at
Thought I had done more, that’s disappointing. I need to clean the bathroom next, then that may well be the sum of today’s flying.
DD might be back for a flying visit later, so we will drive her back to uni city. If she remembers to get out of bed and actually get on a train.
Iona - do we need that search party for you in the freezer?!7 -
Morning ladies xx
I'm up, dressed, breakfasted, brewed, made my bed, sploshed bleach down the loo, fed the birds, put out the recycling, done a laundry shuffle, stripped my bed, and set WM swishing.
Thinking about you piggers Xx

Hope everyone ok
washers on and dinners prepared I’m just waiting for Tesco delivery in next hour9 -
Hello all.
Zero flying yesterday. I even had a nana nap in the afternoon. DGD1 got picked up this morning and DGD2 is not due to arrive until teatime.
I have done dailies, walked Poppet, made an apple pie for later and created a costume for DGD2 for world book day this week. I thought I'd finished with that malarkey 25 years ago.
I'm just about to walk Poppet again then I'm going to bath her. Not sure what else really.Spend less now, work less later.9 -
Washing on line, DW run & emptied. Beef casserole in SC for tea, shin beef, as DD is out hiking in the national park somewhere, so don’t know what time she’ll be back so I thought it best; we’ll have it with mashed pots. I’ve done some hand washing up, water carafe from bedroom washed out and toothbrush holder and rinsing ‘glass’ from bathroom washed. Another little Toots list job done, new photo frames for a pair of photos as I knocked one off and this time it didn’t survive…that was before Xmas. So one frame was binned and the other will be added to the CS pile. This was because I went to town with my friend to browse the artisan market as well as visit a couple of shops.Have prepped two small bread and butter puddings because I got a fruit loaf 60% reduced in Mr L, so they are in the fridge absorbing the milk/egg mix.Recycling out, but all this activity is interspersed with rests as my legs still feel ‘heavy’; presumably from the chemo. It’ll probably be another week before I feel normal.
I need to strip my bed…but right now I’m lying on it !Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY"I would like more sisters, that the taking out of one, might not leave such stillness" Emily DickinsonJanice 1964-2016
Thank you Honey Bear8 -
Enjoy the lying down Valli, dinner sounds delicious. I do t get casserole very often as I am the only one who eats it 😖.
About to start the second coat of woodwork paint. Hoping that it won't require a third because I find this part tedious!
Tonight I think it will be a night off with a nice soak in the bath. Deserve a soak like that this week, haven't stopped decorating and sorting out and walked on average 7 miles a day (some days closer to 10!). Hope you all have a lovely evening and looking forward to flying tomorrow.2024 decluttering Campaign
