    Travelled over to in laws and then ferried her for planned minor surgery back out to Hosp and then back home and stayed the day.

    Kindly treated to a Chinese takeaway for dinner

    A long journey home but no travel issues this time.

     

    Washing to the line in what looks like the only opportunity this week looking at the forecast

    I went through the freezer a couple of free drawers now and meal planned from it.

    Tonight is keema curry with some rice and small chips as I fancied chips.

    Sat in the garden with a cuppa and read a bit more.

    We took Rhubarb and Custard for a local walk to a place I thought would be out in bloom, it was lovely to see the wildlife, but it was very lacking in flowers apparently due to woodland management.

     

    I placed the ferret food order, and she kindly phoned to confirm.

    We’ve listed a few more things for sale.

    Tonight is chop and veg for dinner, DH can have potatoes with it, but I’m happy with the veg as I’m being a bit diet cautious

    Parcel has been collected, and I've done three more bags of mulch. It's too cold and windy to make doing any of the other outside tasks attractive.

    Dragged myself out before it got dark and did the last bits of wire on the fence for two climbers (which I will introduce to the wire tomorrow). I've got one vine eye and about 18 inches of wire left, so am very pleased with myself. The wire isn't particularly well done, and certainly doesn't look beautiful, but once everything has grown up no one will notice (except the fence, which might collapse under the weight of the climbers!)

    @rachmac3 - sorry about your chicken.

    well I'm sneaking my leftover May tasks into June and hoping no-one notices 😎

    however, progress has been made because I've printed out the financial and health & welfare power of attorney forms for myself and MrBC.  We can collect our first signatures this week. I feel reassured now I've read the instructions as I know what I'm doing and who is doing what in the process.

    As I've fessed up to previously I really dislike filing so today I'm going to file, shred and clear my paperwork tray ready for a fresh start in June.

    im in the process of getting lpa for my brother, such a long process, i have 3 more weeks to wait now until its all complete!

    One OAT done yesterday - hairdresser has confirmed when she will be going on maternity leave and for how long (all being well, of course).  I have one more appointment with her and will then have to decide where to go until she returns.  I could stay at the salon where she rents a chair or look for an alternative.

    Another OAT started today - I've cut out the fabric I need for the new cushion covers and plan to sew them up by the end of the weekend.
    Be kind to others and to yourself too.

    I would go elsewhere.  When mine went off for maternity I didn't.  It really felt quite awkward when she came back.  I'd only done it before when they were actually employed & didn't realise what the issues would be like when they were renting chairs.
