    A few bitty jobs are out of the way. I've cleaned the bathroom, potted up two lavender plants left over from last year (in MS home made compost, in MS pots from the plant pot recycling at the garden centre), done various bits of handwashing (which got nearly dry on the line: the day got more spring-like as it went on), ironed a few pieces and took the soft plastics and batteries to be recycled.

    I had a few minutes so I finally bought a couple of items for my niece's Christmas stocking, 2025! I still don't know when we are going to meet them but both her parents have a few gifts and I don't want her to miss out.

    DH and I met in the supermarket - he is happy with the new equipment at work, which is a relief as he was getting stressed about it. We decided on tuna pasta for tea.

    I've also bought a couple of gifts on V1nted: a bag for my BiL and some braces for the grand daughters so they can wear those loved-but-still-slightly-too-big items.
