    The day started off so promising with blue sky on the dog walk, come home go and get a basket full of wet laundry to peg on the line and the heavens open. Will be glad to see the back of all this rain, looking forward to a few dry days.

    Plan for today is home/office working, while I am in town I will call to the Post Office and post my parcels and stop at the charity shop with two bags of random stuff that I am so please is leaving my house today. I have a few items from the front room that I need to move to the summer house in readiness for the building work.

    I have a few parcels to wrap as I have accepted some offers that came in over night. happy to accept the offers as its old stock and I want it gone and its a few pounds coming in.

    Today will also be a NSD, postage cost are business expense and we don't need to buy anything today. Dinner this evening has change we will be having omelettes as we have a number of eggs that need to be used, also they as supper quick and easy to make.

    Very boring damp course, as we have some rising damp, old house, plaster was put on top of old mortar and now needs removing and treating, the decorating will be the exciting part.  :)

    Yes, this is what I keep telling myself, so glad the work is taking place while we are away.

    Happy Thursday, nearly the weekend.

    WFH this morning and out and about later. Didn't manage the Charity Shop drop off yesterday, will need to do that today, the bags are still in my car.

    Weather is not looking the best, overcast and raining on and off. So no line drying today! 

    Today will also be a NSD, no plans to call into any shop while I am out and about apart from the Charity Shop and that will be a flying visit.

    The sun is finally out in my little Welsh Valley  :) Will make the most of the weather and spend the day in the garden, there is already a line of washing drying and another load in the machine. Feel so much better when the sun is out and have a lot more energy.
