Great news Valli.
Time has rushed by in a blur of trying to catch up with work, not only because I've been away so much and got behind, but also we are entering "conference season" so I'm trying to book what I need, watch webinars, set reminders etc.
- emails and especially those requiring action are multiplying practically by the minute.
- On top of washing and dishwashing.
- Busy time of year with sowing seeds, planting seedlings, now at the stage of bringing some out of the greenhouse during the day to harden off then trying to remember to bring them back in before dark.
- Today, despite fretting about the online conference I was meant to be on (but it will be recorded), swimming and/or ParkRun, Mr N and I had another day in London this time to join the climate march. All very peaceful and some amazing costumes. An added bonus was that DB is working there helping with the marathon, so - thanks to tracking via WhatsApp - we managed to find each other after we'd marched and have coffee and cake.
- flying has been put in the 'pending' tray......
- more or less keeping up with reports. More or less.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.7 -
Morning all
Dreaming last night and dont feel very lively this morning. Contemplating going for a run to blow the cobwebs away, but on the sofa under a blanket at the moment.
It's grey and cloudy but I have put some washing out and there is another load in, it's supposed to be dry at least. Clean washing needs to come off the airer.
Flying is a priority today, we are away next weekend and the house needs some TLC, but I will potter gently.
Have a good Sunday all x7 -

I was going to say Morning! but it isn't.
Feel like I haven't stopped but other than the kitchen, the spare room and keeping on top of the dailies not much from the list has been done.
Loved having DGS overnight and I got in trouble as he didn't get to bed until 20 to 10 as we were having so much fun. DS and DDIL came in around 120 and she was er lively to say the least. Apparently DD threw her out of her room as she couldn't shut her up at 2am. Needless to say she wasn't really enticed by the huge round of bacon rolls for breakfast yesterday. Settled down after they left and went into town and finally decided on a holiday, not our first choice location but have a week booked leaving on the 1st so much to do between now and then. Yesterday evening and this morning were spent booking all the other addons that we need.
I've been for a short walk with DD this morning, sunny but breezy so occasional shower.
Have got chicken breast out for dinner and will have with whatever is left in the fridge veg wise.
And much as I don't want to and shouldn't need to, I have to do some of the paid stuff (unpaid) this afternoon to ensure I am in the right place for a meeting tomorrow ahead of a big meeting on Wednesday but Finances shuffle first.
See you all back later maybe.

Potatoes planted in very claggy earth. Leeks, spinach and rhubarb brought home.

Flying is pending here too. It's in the planning stages which could take a day or two.Spend less now, work less later.6

I have pegged out washing at 5pm (bedding) - might do the trick. I have finished the button band for cardigan 1 (baby born) and sewn about half the cardigan up. I have now started on the front of cardigan 2 (baby due in May) I would rather knit than sew. I need more buttons so will go to the haberdashery tomorrow - independent physical shop. If I get the buttons I can arrange the visit to see baby 1. I might do white or lemon for baby 3 - not sure if gender is known. Might do some mittens too.
I have cleared out a drawer, some more shoes are in CS bag and some more clothes to go too, so will be popping there in due course too. Old router etc out; am waiting for Mr Branson's firm to send me a box/label (I'm assuming they will).
I also did a binbag dance.
I'm SUPPOSED to be doing admin...
