Morning all, thanks for the start @Gers.  Yesterday's promised sun was very tardy; it didn't show its face until mid-afternoon and even then it was a very short and half-hearted effort.  Unlike today - wall to wall sunshine and not a cloud in sight.  A good start to the new month.

Yesterday's SM delivery arrived and was all put away in record time even though it was a fairly large (for me) order.  I had to remind myself that it's for a whole month; the new regime of one delivery a month seems to be working well so far.  Only two things went in the freezer - choc ices and a box of ice cream cones - although I do have some other things that need to go in today once they've been portioned up.  I hope it all fits in!

Other than playing freezer jigging, I'm not sure what I'll do today; there are a million and one things I could do but they can wait.  I'd rather be outside enjoying the sunshine while it's here so a walk could be on the cards.  I didn't cook the gammon yesterday either so tea for tonight and tomorrow will have to be swapped round which means today's meal will be a h/m salmon fishcake in a bun with side salad.

@dp1 - Oh dear, I hope that bandage helps and yes, do take it off at night as instructed.
@Gers - Safe journey home, I hope the sun is there to greet you!
@AA - Happy jollies, drive safely.
@TA - Have a good lunch day.
@Ruby - Glad you enjoyed the lambing farm yesterday; today's walk and picnic should be good too.
@Rosy - Fingers crossed DH's physio today goes well.
@-taff - I like to be on time for appointments but that early?!!   

Right, the freezer is calling so I'll wish you all a good day.  Take care, stay safe and look after yourselves.  X

Morning

Pleasant sunshine and a gentle breeze, perfect weather for me.

Today is my dgd's 24th birthday. He really did make an April fool of us as he wasn't due until June 12tth. He weighed 2lbs 12ozs but luckily was a little fighter and came home 7 weeks later. Today he has his own small gardening business and is doing so well, thanks to the dedication of the NICU, one of whom still keeps in touch.

Usual chores to do today, bbq chicken, coleslaw and garlic bread for dinner.

AA enjoy your break

Gers  safe travels.

Have a good day  hugs to all who need them. Take care.

Morning everyone just got back from a cleaning job posted a parcel and called on the market and got a couple of punnets of strawberries for 3 pounds they looked nice . Taff my Sunday dinner was delicious and I must admit I’m my own worst enemy I like to do everything myself I even got my daughter in laws parents I couldn’t keep my big mouth shut I asked what they were doing she said nothing so I said bring them here the more the merrier but a good day was had and all clean plates and everybody was stuffed and I enjoy having them . I forgot I’m off to one of my granddaughters choir concert in Durham tonight my son rang to say they would pick me up at six I’d forgotten all about it and I write everything in my diary and I hadn’t put it in it must of been something I was going to do later I’m definitely losing my marbles. AA your trip sounds lovely enjoy. Well per have sunshine here I’ve got a line of washing out and the sofa throw they will be dry soon I’m going to have a little walk with the dog and a cuppa in the sunshine. Thinking of all the poorlies hugs to those that need them have a good day everyone whatever you are doing

Hi all and thanks for the start @Gers. Have a safe journey home x

Lovely and sunny here but a bit nippy at times. We have been to the community kitchen garden and done a few jobs. Brought back a lettuce (for mum) and a Pak Choi which will be used tonight and tomorrow for dinner as it’s huge. 

Off to see mum this afternoon to yet again ring up about a card fraud someone has run up in her name. The letters keep coming so I need to check they have definitely raised an alert their end. 

Dinner is tuna pasta bake with Pak choi 🥬 Will also sort my hiking rucksack this afternoon. 

Have a good trip @AlwaysAllie - we loved the Highlands and I want to go back with DH one day. 

Have a good afternoon all
