Morning all.

Doing reduced hours at the paid stuff today but I have put in two hours so far, watered back garden, walked Poppet for an hour, done dailies.  Next is banking as it's my pay day too Round.  Then I need to hoover through and cut grass before putting in some more paid hours.

I have cleaned the bathroom and kitchen, ironing all up to date.  Kitchen clean included the fridge, this week, which is much tidier now.  Binbag dance and vacuum emptied.  Got wordle eventually.

Emptied the kitchen bin and took the bag down. I then took A to do some banking  and we stopped off for a drink at the local pub we like. Made lunch and WUPA everything. Did a Waitrose order for tomorrow. Made tea and then supper and WU again. Watched some of the Olympics opening ceremony - I though it seemed rather confusing and incoherent and nowhere near as good as London's. I felt sorry for them having to do it in pouring rain though - especially that poor centenarian in the wheelchair at the end - what were they thinking of?

Wandering in and looking around.....yoohooo anybody in? 👀 

Hallooooo xx 

I was up just after six as sleeping in continues to elude me. I'm dressed, made my bed,  fed the birds, put out the rubbish and recycling,  put new bin bags in bins, WULTD,  and WM x 2 is draped on the airer and stood outside in the sun. Showers forecast and it's clouding over so I opted out of pegging out. 

Soooo much I should be doing. No motivation to do any of it. 

Olympics swimming it is then.

Love to all

Afternoon all.

I popped in here earlier, round, but it seemed that everyone had overslept or was having a lie-in, so I kept quiet in order not to disturb your beauty sleep.  I was drinking tea in the WAC at 04.15, but I did manage to get about another hour of zzz before continuing with my photo sorting. 

I am currently dealing with literally hundreds of pictures of my 6 aunts and mother - trying to put them in date order, which is easy when they're little (though of course that was when their father, a keen amateur photographer, took most pictures of them) but harder as they grow older, until I reach the point at which I can remember them, by which time most were already retired at 60 or nearly there.

The bathroom is clean, the kitchen likewise.  My bed is being used as a large flat space for laying out the photos so I haven't done more to it than pull the undersheet straight.  Rosie is dozing next to my desk, where she can keep an eye on me.

DH wants to go for a walk this afternoon, so we will probably go to the common - if it stops raining in time.  Glad I haven't hung out (or even done) any washing!

Enjoy the Olympics, or whatever else you plan to do today xxx

Good afternoon!😊 
Awol again....sorry! 
I have caught up on the thread. Hugs to those that need them, esp Narc0. I hope those feeling poorly are feeling better

I am on AL this week and next (yay!) We went away for a few days to Suffolk and had a very chilled break. It is definitely a slower pace of life, even though it is only an hour or so away.
We got back yesterday lunchtime. DS had ordered himself some meal boxes to have a go at cooking for himself (commendable 👏). However, it would appear there is a downside to having a well-equiped kitchen - less WU is needed!! I put on the DW - multiple frying pans, measuring jugs, knives, etc - all used. DW was emptied, WULTD the remainder. 2 wash loads done yesterday, and 2nd one of today is swishing now.
DH & I did parkrun this morning (I am so unfit!). Since then I have been faffing about doing not much, except watch the diving and some gymnastics. Go team GB!! 👏 🏅
I have a list, but I have no guag! I should probably show my face at the allotment before they kick me off!! 
A job for the next few days is to empty the summerhouse, de-web & sweep and put back what is needed. The roof also needs attention (hopefully just re-felting is needed), but that DH's department as I don't do ladders! But I am procrastinating and DH & DS are recording a podcast 🙄

I think I will shuffle off now & see if the WM is finished......
Have a good day everyone x

I'm here though I've only just put the computer on.  I've done a washload and it dried in record time.  Getting very breezy here.   Not much else done, just normal making meals, washing up etc.

Hi all

Met up with DS2 today and drove up to the coast to go for a walk.  Felt a bit anxious on and off but it was nice to see DS.  Weather was warm and sunny, and we had a good catch up. 

DH had food ready when I got in, which was lovely.  A day at home pottering about tomorrow I think.

Went to the shops this morning and later did two loads of washing and dried some on the rack and TD's most of the rest; just a few things left to dry. 

After lunch I made some meringues for tomorrow's lunch. I'd bought some pasteurised egg whites in a carton but although they whipped up reasonably well, once I added the sugar it turned into a sloppy mess. I thoroughly washed and dried the bowl and whisk again and started from scratch but the same thing happened. On the third attempt I used actual eggs, separated, and this time it worked. If you can't make meringue with the egg whites in a carton I don't see what the point of them is.

I've also watched a bit of the Olympics: Nadal and Alcaraz playing (and winning) doubles and a bit of the swimming.

Morning all xx 

I was up early. 6.20 am. Heyho. I'm up, made my bed, stood the airer outside, supped two brews, swallowed parrots (headache again), completed Wordle and Connections,  read a few chapters of my book, disappeared down several browsing rabbit holes, and I'm thinking about getting dressed.

Perhaps a Round will motivate me? 🤔

Round 1
Get dressed
Feed the birds
Top up birdbath 
Water hanging basket 
Top up hedgehog's dish
Put out recycling 
DUPA yesterday's pots
