Morning all
Wm x 1 on the line. It is very windy. Wm x 2 is swishing. Wm x 3 is queuing.
Ivy cuttings taken from the out of control plant indoors, with a plan to have plants for outside containers at some point - insert the much missed Martin emoji here!
DD and I are supposed to be going out for lunch in small town today, before she starts packing to back to the uni city later in the week.
I have much dust to rehouse, plus I need to sort out my car insurance renewal - a much hated job, almost beats dusting, but not quite. Maybe I’ll just have a coffee first, if anyone cares to join me?

Small food shop done and away.

Kitchen sorted

Cat1 had a tick, so dealt with that, and flea treated cats 1 and 2, cat 3 legged it when he smelt the frontline on the other two, I'll get him later.

Walking to do and ironing.

Fayolle, I quite like doing the online comparision for car ins, then I ring up my existing ins. company and 'start talks' to get their price down a bit, managed £20 this year.

Valli

Fayolle - I'm with you on the chore that is insurance...

Walking done

Ironing done

Some weeding done, tidied up the strawberry runners, palnted some, gave some to NND so all used up.

Need to do some digging, but that means I have to put  boots on, so that can be one of tomorrow's job

Evening all.  Hope Lionel is feeling happier today x

Having flown hard (by my standards) on Saturday, I have only kept up with the dailies since.  Today I took my goddaughter W to our favourite NT property.  Not having her younger sister M with us meant that W was willing - keen, even - to spend more time looking closely at the glorious William de Morgan tiles in the gallery, and afterwards we had fun rolling, stamping and decorating clay to make our own tiles, which was the [allegedly children's] activity on offer today[though we both did one].   A bite to eat was followed by a tour of the house with more observation and learning about the art and the kitchen utensils, plus a bit of dressing up, and then we made it as far as the adventure playground where the trunk of a felled oak tree provided a comfortable seat for me whilst W ran and climbed and hung upside down.  A good time was had by all

Apart from that, I managed to post a birthday card to DD and DGS3+4's stowaway NT cards to their mum; dropped a few bits and pieces off at the CS; bought non-frozen sausages for tea to speed up the cooking; walked Rosie; WULTD after we'd eaten; and pulled up a few more weeds in the front garden before it got dark.  DH is at model railway club this evening, so now I'm going to put my feet up.

The GP has approved my meds order, placed last Friday (almost a world record, considering that we've had a BH), so I must remember to pick them up tomorrow.  DH has won the raffle at SW yet again, so we have a large lettuce box full of F&V, which will save me going food shopping again this month and might leave me with a small surplus in my budget

Have a good evening, everyone xxx

Well done DH, Ionafan.  I used to hate having men at the group, they seem to lose more successfully than the women.  No point me going back though, as speed foods just speed right through me lol.  Maybe when i’m off these meds.

DW and WM locked and loaded.  Some WUALTD done. Haven’t decided what list to do yet…

Evening all. I didn't do much at the weekend, just some washing and drying and the usual food prep and washing up. Today I took some rubbish down and bought A's paper. I stripped the bed and put the bedding on to wash and then took A to the High street as he wanted to go to the bank and the bs. We stopped off on the way back for a drink at our favourite pub. Came back and made lunch and put fresh bedding on and dried the other. Made up the bag of washing/ironing for the laundry who collected it later. Bleached the sink and washing-up pad and S&S in the kitchen, made supper and washed up. Just A's final eye drops and putting out his breakfast things to do.

I've nearly finished The Magic Toyshop; I'm going to try and finish it before I go to bed.
