To be fair, he is a bit crock … 😉

Hair is cut (all shaggy and wild again 🤩) prescription collected and extra ibuprofen purchased to take into work for my shoulders 👏

Lunch out is cancelled because my friend has had to go into work, on her birthday as well. Bah. 🤷‍♀️🙄

Just finished a cracking novel, off to update my total in my signature 😊

You've hit your book target for the year! Way to go! I thought I was doing well and my target is so much smaller than yours 😂.

At least that’s one target achieved this year. 😊 Oh and I have visited four gardens. Not likely to achieve many others though … 🤷‍♀️😉

Hope Mr KK feels less whiny better soon 😁 In seriousness it is horrid being unwell so I hope he gets a good night's sleep and is on the road to recovery tomorrow

Sea glass cup sounds gorgeous!

Happy new hair 😊

Hi @KajiKita, just catching up. Another week of great posts. Pleased that your latest physio session went well, impressed that you have achieved your phenomenal book reading target, hope Mr KK is feeling better, and just reading about dancing dinosaur & roller skating unicorn wrapping paper has made me smile ☺️

@PennysIntoPounds Mr KK was well enough to be able to taste his beef this evening and made gravy for himself FOR THE FIRST TIME!! 👏👏👏👏👏 (I was busy, talked him though making a sloppy roux etc and he seemed to get on okay 😊)

@Humboldt I’m glad the wrapping paper made you smile. I dropped the presents, card and little houseplant I had propagated over to my friend yesterday evening and she loved them 😊 Hopefully we will manage lunch next weekend …. 🤞

Busy-ish day today, seemed pretty food dominated.

Made my Gaia veggie roast - 7 further portions in the freezer 😊👏
Wrangled Mr KK’s washing - all dry, folded and away. My reward was 5 minutes on Mr KK’s bed with Chloe-Bean who had claimed it for a day-long snooze 😊❤️
Made a batch of red lentil and tomato soup fir work lunches. Blitzed and boxed it.
Downloaded the pension app - linked to my work pension. 👍
Did the MnS vouchers via the app thing after a couple of attempts.
Replied to my dad’s latest walking email - he’s now in Prague at another conference presenting another paper …
Took photos of the garden, put them in PPoint, annotated them and sent off to the gardening contractor for what I want done when he comes in a couple of weeks.
Did all the financial updates. Not amazing, not horrendous 😉

Read a fair chunk of a very brain stretching novel …!

Wowzers that's a productive day! 👏

Lovely you got a wee bit of Madame Chloe snuggle time, bravo to Mr KK (and you) for his sauce and I'm glad he's feeling better, and I know your Dad can be challenging but I am also well impressed by him, I hope despite the work involved in your relationship you also allow yourself a bit of pride and reflected family glow x

I needed a productive day after my inertia yesterday … 😉

Madame Chloe is out ferralling now … 🙄😉😊❤️ I suspect we won’t see her again until the wee small hours …

Mr KK has been on the go all day Tbf. He took it in to his head to empty out the DIY shed and try to organise it. He didn’t empty every cupboard or shelving but pulled out everything that was on the floor in front of said storage. There is wood to be cut down for firewood / kindling and a significant tip run to do next week 😊 The shed seems quite big inside now and you can love around in there without fear of breaking an ankle! 😉

I am very proud of my dad. He is doing amazing things at extending the boundaries of human knowledge and supported many other researchers in doing the same, over many decades. He just sucks as a caring, supportive, engaged dad … 😉🤷‍♀️

Done some spot watering of some treasures (pretty shrubs) that are wilting …

All food prep for tomorrow completed and I am, finally, sat on the sofa after my shower … Phew 😊
