Good afternoon
A late one from me. It's a lovely spring type day so I've been taking advantage of the weather to catch up on washing. Still more to do, mainly the sofa throw and cushion covers, but they can wait for another day.
All day breakfast for tea tonight, nice and easy. Now to sort out the dry washing.
Happy birthday to AAs dm. Lots of birthdays around this time of year, DHs is on Saturday.
Have a good day all, take care.

Been out and about now to do some housework ( downside of the sun is it shows up the dust !)
Stay safe all

Afternoon all,
Late night at the theatre but it was very enjoyable, well apart from the talking couple behind us and the snoring man in front - not like it's a cheap night out!! We have two working garage doors, albeit one is dented still and the frames are the wrong colour. A strongly worded email to the company has got the wheels in motion for replacements. Now we wait.
Have been working today then walked down to the Post Office and Library in the glorious sunshine. Popped into Co-op for bread and a man walked in, grabbed 4 Stella Artois and some Doritos and walked out without paying. There was only me and him in there. Such a liberty! Not like he's stealing to feed his kids (at least I hope not!)
Happy Birthday to your DMum @AlwaysAllie and I'm sorry but too much cake is an oxymoron 😂
Bless DGD @camelot1001 hope she's doing okay x
Ridiculous about the 25p/week increase at 80 being communicated by letter. Costs 3x that for postage pffft! Don't spend it all at once folks 😁
Have a good evening all

Happy birthday to @AlwaysAllie's Mum and to AlwaysAllie in advance.
Also a very happy one to @Gers in advance.
I am usually a day behind with the time difference. So this way I won't be the last birthday wish of the day!
Our weather here has been so strange - cool one day and then expected to get to 32C by this weekend - than back down again next week. I'm never sure what to wear, so am layering things in case I need to take the outer layers off. We had a couple of days of torrential downpours - and then nothing for several weeks. Very strange weather for the middle of winter. The plants, especially the trees, are very confused also. Blooming already.
