Morning xx 

Back to the paid stuff today so I'm up, made my bed, dressed, taken my meds, turned over the calendars, packed my lunch bag, eaten breakfast, completed Strands with no hints, completed Wordle in four, only managed two lines on Connections, sorted Joey - seed, water,  fresh millet, updated my list, texted DDil to wish her a happy birthday,  and I'm supping a brew.

Had a lovely afternoon yesterday- coffee and cake with L, then called to see DB to drop off his card and present. Left two hours later after a a good natter, and with a bag of tomatoes from his NN. 

I'll feed the birds, top up the bird bath, and put out the recycling before I set off for work. 

Keep hydrated. Keep cool. 
Love to all.

Morning all,
It’s already twot here. The forecast says 34 degrees, but seeing as we had an unforecasted short shower last night, I can always hope that it is wrong again. 

Yesterday’s flying consisted - rather pathetically - of deadheading the plants in pots in the morning and watering the gh and pots in the evening. A lot of the evening seemed to be lost on catching up with GBSB and somehow looking at (and just maybe ordering, whoops) some wool. DD is a bad influence! Today is a Must Do Better day.
Bedding changed and in the wm, hair washed which means that the bedroom floor will have to be vacuumed, beans and apples are out ready for a preserving session. Clean the ensuite as per the list is also on my radar.

WM x 1 DW x 1.

DD let out the rabbits from the hutch unaware that Daisy had got out of her run, judging by the fur on the garden.  She dealt with that then came and woke me up to tell me. Not sue how she made it out.

Have booked decorator to come and do dining room so now need to book flooring refit and other jobs. He brought his partner last night to come and admire his work in the hall and lounge.  Thanks to mum I can get it done.  He’s going to paint my fence, too

Have filled up the fridge and freezer with To0 Go0d T0 G0 stuff, given one neighbour two loaves of bread and another a sweet and sour chicken with rice ding thing, and a box of pork skewers I know we wouldn't eat.  Have also chucked out the pastry from some pork pies, chopped up the filling and frozen it for treats for the animals as and when.  I'll give the App a rest now until we've eaten our way through the haul from the past few days:

- 2 A1di boxes (only available for collection half an hour before closing, so one of them was late night trip) but it included more Aberdeen Angus steak so I'm happy with that;

- 1 Morribunds local petrol station - fast food if you like that kind of thing;

- a carrier bag of pasties, cake slices, muffins and a massive Danish pastry from a local pasty company;

- a box of ice cream and two paninis from a local ice cream parlour - they make their own ice cream so it was delish.

In addition to the fridge and freezer stuff we've also eaten rather well over the past few days.

Three orders I'd paid for have been cancelled because apparently there was nothing left, but apparently I'll get a refund in a few days time.  Fortunately, the ones that were cancelled after I arrived at the allotted time to collect two (Morribunds: a Bakery and a Grocery Bag) I'd combined the trip with a visit to the tip to dispose of yet more ivy roots - eight car loads so far and still one more to go.  I think that more than makes up for the disappointing breakfast one from the multinational hotel chain.  And we have cakes for tea!

It's also meant I've tried a couple of local businesses I hadn't tried before and been impressed by both their staff and stuff.  

A carrier bag of stuff decluttered to the CS.  I see their van at the tip a lot, which means they're having to pay tip fees on 'donations' so I now tell them when I drop off that I'll be back in a bit to pick up anything they can't sell.  I've been doing it for a few months and nothing apart from icecube trays has been returned to me for disposal.  

Will do a bit more Flying in the kitchen in a bit.  It's too hot right now.

Afternoon.   Far too hot here too, can't sit outside in this even in the shade.    Washing dried in a flash so that's the upside.    Not much else done although we did go out for a walk and coffee this morning before it got too much.   Nice and cool by the river.

Hope everyone is well x

Downstairs loo and bathroom s&sd.  Some weeding and dead heading done.
