Morning xx
Where is everyone? Was it the thought of me in my scruffs that frightened you all into hiding? 🤔 Or the glorious sunshine that tempted you outside?
I'm up, made my bed, showered, dressed, packed my lunch bag, taken my meds, turned over the calendars, completed Strands with four hints, completed Wordle in three, completed Connections with no lives lost in less than two minutes (tweezy today), eaten breakfast and I'm supping my brew.
I'll feed the birds, put out the recycling and top up the birdbath/ hedgehog's dish before I set off to the paid stuff.
Have a good day.

Morning all.
Wordle in four, just two lines on connections, strands with eight hints.
plans today include cutting grass properly and going to exercise class as well as usual dog walk and dailies. Two wash loads are already on the line and I've changed the sofa throws. As the weather is so good I think I'll wash all three dog beds over the next couple of days.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.7 -
Wordle in five, Strands with masses of hints, all four lines on Connections with one life lost.I have another load to dangle as soon as I can get the previous load in off the lines, and yet another load waiting to go through the machine. I hope that's the last one but by the time I do it the laundry basket will probably be overflowing.Instead of all the things I meant to do yesterday I peeled, chopped and froze a net of onions because they were beginning to sprout.Must do what I should have done yesterday.Better is good enough.6

This morning I have decluttered
- some more admin
- DH to SW (he's just eaten the last of his Easter egg, so I'm not expecting him to have lost this week)
- the contents of the household bins
- the leaves in the back yard, especially around the mini-greenhouses
- the contents of the outside water bowls for the birds and Rosie, and refilled them
- 2 mugs of coffee
and begun to sort the postcards that my grandfather sent to his wife and children from his three cruises (July 1914, 1933 and 1936) along the coast of Norway. Unfortunately they are not all dated, but he used to start writing on the first card which he addressed to his wife and then when he ran out of space he just followed on with each of his daughters' cards in age order, so it's often quite easy to match up the sets.
After tidying the back yard I am shattered again, but I need to dig the dandelions out of the lawn before J the gardener brings out the mower this afternoon.... Best get back to work. I also want J to help me put the plastic covers back on the mini-greenhouses. I need to start my beans.

Afternoon all
Got back late yesterday so today was/is general tidying, S&S-ing and have done all the washing.
Had 6 month check-up at hospital - nothing sinister lurking, hurrah.
Hopefully back in a routine from tomorrow.
