Morning xx
I was up, made my bed and dressed for 7am as the hire car is being delivered between 7am and 2pm. It's coming from Sheffield so I'd have been very surprised if it rocked up at 7. But if I wasn't dressed it probably would have done!
I've completed Wordle (in three), managed one line in Connections, packed my lunch bag, eaten breakfast and supped a brew.
I'm going to feed the birds, put out the recycling, and bring in the emptied (garden waste) bin next.
Received a letter yesterday to say they're coming to service the boiler....TOMORROW. So I need to get that rescheduled.
And breathe.....
Love to all

Morning all
just put another load in WM … everything that was in the basket so that’s empty, hoping to get it all dried today, forecast is good. brought milk in and let Daisy bunny out. As winter approaches i MUST get a hutch. She and Miffy don’t get on but Daisy had such an awful start to her life she can stay here, where she’s either in a run (with a shelter) or out in the garden.
In my dreams I have l flown lol…i dreamt i cleaned out more cupboards

Thank you Honey Bear7 -
I just stood on my own trouser leg and nearly fell put of the back door! I'm not safe to be let out.
Birds fed, recycling out, bin in.

I joined you, Round, of course! But due to the hour time difference, I’m not sure if I put the kettle on for us or my cuppa was cold when I got it! Bear of very little brain, here.
Lots of unbundled spoons heading to Round and Piggers.
Belated birthday wishes to you, CoG.
That’s so good to have remade contact with your godson, Iona.
I hope DS is ok, YL. Definitely family first x
Off to the shops shortly, then lunch with friends. It will certainly be back to work with a bump next week - it’s creeping back into my mind already, *sigh*.7 -
Car insurance renewal invitation was received before the RTC and therefore didn't include the new claim. Spoken to the insurers and updated the details. New quote is only £12 more than the original. That'll automatically come out of my bank on 18th. So I can tick that one off now.
Coffee next. Fayolle - I think it's the same time even though there's an hour difference. Did your brain just explode? 😊

Removed dead flowers from birthday bouquet and topped up the vase with water.
Brought in the second emptied bin.
Unboxed cans of pop and put cardboard in recycling.
FUPA tea towels.
Had a coffee and eaten my pack up.
Sigh. I'm not very good at waiting.
I'll FUPA towels and put away the airer next.
Dumdedum. Dedum. (Predictive text hates me 🤣)

Hello, just the usual work shift, dog walk and dailies done so far. I have put a second dog bed in the WM. Yesterday inspired by Valli I did sort out one of the kitchen cupboards.Spend less now, work less later.6

Hope the car has arrived now @roundtuit although they have another 30 minutes.This morning we went to the park and had a coffee, sitting outside. When the sun was out it was reasonably warm but when it wasn't it felt a bit chilly, especially when there was a bit of breeze. I put some washing on before we went and am now drying it. There are two stains, about the size of a 2p coin, on our everyday table cloth and despite trying vanish, rubbing soap in and washing it twice they won't come out so we will have to get another because they are in quite an obvious position and rather annoy me. I'm now doing the drying and am about to wash up the lunch and A's breakfast things. A is about to have a nap so I will do a bit of flying and then, hopefully, settle down to my book.Oh, and I've just finished the large box of marzipan chocolates my friend J bought me for my birthday.7
