Afternoon (only just!) all. 

Hope you got some sense out of the Doctor, YL - it sounds as if you could do with bed rest for a couple of days xx
Don't get lost in the depths of your freezer, HB! x

This morning I have
- wrapped up and labelled the two GF lemon drizzles that I made yesterday, put one in the freezer and left the other on the DR table to be delivered tomorrow
- loaded the DW and WULTD what else wouldn't/couldn't go in
- S&S'd the kitchen
- helped J the gardener for an hour by chopping up the branches that he was cutting down, and filling our green bin
- put away quite a lot of paperwork, with more to follow

DH has just brought me a mug of coffee and is now hoovering the LR

This afternoon I too have the joy of a dental check-up, Rosie will want her walk, and I shall collect more sweet chestnuts while we're out (must remember to take a carrier bag with me) - a lot have come down in the strong winds, and I'm not leaving them all for the squirrels, who are fat enough already!

Boogs 12 year anniversary of the diabetes diagnosis..

Still trying to sort the credit card problem.. I am not receiving verification codes so cannot use it! ..

Waiting for the plumber.. again

must hang out washing and folded the aired stuff from the airer.

I am hping to shuffle some more stuff in the back room today.. I did move a box waaaaay across the room last night while looking for the bath mat I use to keep cat furr off the clean laundry because there is no way I am going to be able to stop the hairy demons sleeping on the airer!

The promised rain has arrived. Glad I took the dogs out for a run on the field earlier and fed the animals again.

Woodburner lit. One load of laundry washed, dried, FUPA. Other bits over airer in living room. 

Lunch break now, 3 more hours of paid stuff to go. Online training soon - do they not realise 2pm is Archers time?!

Take care all esp YL xxx

Late to the party today!!!

Seems I’ve missed some posts too.
Belated birthday wishes Valli
Healing thought YL

i like the thought of putting your best smile on…I shall endeavour to do this!!

Not much flying done today and not much ‘kitchen’ flying either!!

Done my dailies this morning so at least the house was ‘guest’ ready ( not that we have many)
and then off I pootled to my keep fit class….if abs were built on laughter I’d be on Sports Illustrated's cover!!!

Our rain and bad weather has not materialised and we have glorious sun with a brisk breeze so a laundry load is currently on.
We are still stuck at 3 chairs covered for the kitchen as dh had to help ds with brickwork yesterday 🙄.
I had to do a quick turnaround this morning to take mam for her covid jab…..what a shambles. It’s in a new ‘mass’ vaccination centre (read empty department store in town) we queued standing for an hour!!!! An hour!!!! Granted there were chairs but not enough as they’re doing the elderly, clinically vulnerable, who need the chairs and health workers… I was not impressed!

I think work wise I’ve written today off. I’m just going to organise our evening meal and do the kitchen floor……after a cuppa.

Best smile ready for tomorrow.

Freezer sorted.  There were quite a few boxes of breadcrumbs that we didn't need and some gravy that frankly wasn't very nice so there's now that space in there.  Made enough space to fit all the stuff in that needed to be crammed in, which is what it was all about really.  Glad it's done, and I've got an up to date list of food in there.  In all honesty I don't think we need to be food shopping for a couple of weeks.

Also sorted out the cupboard under the front steps - Belovéd has been bunging stuff in there without bothering to make space for it while I was away.  All tidied away so there's room to move in there now. 

Masses of washing up done, masses of stuff chucked and the kitchen compost bin emptied.  I don't think the neighbour will be transferring out brown bin contents to his in 10 days time - there's two heavy bags of gibble in there already and plenty more to come.  And I've filled up the shared garden waste bin for next week's collection.  On a roll here.

Downstairs hoovering and mopping done, was also vaccing under all the furniture so now waiting for it to charge again. My cordless v-ax has been a godsend! Dailies done, and only one more living room task to complete the month (I'm on the OG version)

Valli

it’s been a long and expensive day…i slept badly last night, i’ve done a fair bit of walking abd a longer day at work and i’ve now come to bed.

Torbeast.. I can't remember if I shared him or not but this is DD1's small..

Narc0lepsy

Re-joins gang after very enjoyable few days away with Mr N and BIL.  Now must get back to real life with no more trips planned other than visiting Mum in a couple of weeks.

Welcome back HB.
Valli belated happy birthday.

Had 2 bits of news while away: good news is that my appeal against the parking fine when I took Mr N to hospital was upheld (sorry I think I posted that already so it must have come just before I went away).  Bad news was the death of step-BIL; not entirely unexpected but sad for step-sis and family.

Suitcase unpacked.
Bird feeders filled.
Greenhouse checked, tomatoes picked, watered.
Sweet corn picked - not very big although those we had for dinner this eve tasted ok.
One load of washing done.
Went to dentist as new night guard didn't seem to fit; they agreed it wasn't mine so have taken a new imprint and will order another. 
Still wading through paperwork for my pension stuff, another letter scanned and sent to finance guy.
Catching up on email actions.
