Evening. Both beds stripped and remade today and two washloads done and line dried. All put away. Drive to local town this morning for a walk by the river and a coffee. Not much else done but I did cut the grass yesterday and I have been deadheading and watering every morning. My lilies got to about 5ft tall then it rained hard last night and the weight pulled them down. Luckily they propped themselves up on a chair back and I've staked them now. Gardening is really not relaxing…
Lots of family stuff going on, some good, some bad, some indifferent. Hope everyone's OK

Hi all
Came home at 2pm with a bad headache, had some painkillers and a 30 minute nap then did some more work. Stir fry made for tea.
Not much flying tonight, still feeling a little fragile, will get an early night.
Well done to Valli's DD. How scary about the attack, what an awful thing to happen.

Not much happening here over last couple of days as my get up and go has gone. Just dailies and some dusting in the living room. Must try harder.
Spend less now, work less later.6 -
living room and hall dusted & polished and skirtings wiped.
started sorting out my jewellery some of which is in a tangly muddle.6 -
There's an Ogri cartoon from Bike magazine from the 1980s with a snail "striving to keep up". That's me. I just can't at the moment, but I will be back as soon as I can.
I miss you all.

I have pegged out washing which dried almost instantly (seems like) - wind and warmth has blown off all the water and blown out all the creases. Spent an hour with my friend who has had a diagnosis like what I got so is a bit blindsided.
Back home now to hit some admin tasks.

Washing pegged out here too - DD’s bedding and mattress cover. Not sure what else I have done today - taken DD to hospital appointment, lost an hour or so researching curtain rails and light fittings for LR, repotted a desperate house plant that made a bid for freedom off a high shelf. As I was in a shady corner outside, I decided to top up all the houseplants with compost, pot up some cuttings and take new ones. Accidently chopped the spider plant where I didn’t mean to…

tidied bathroom cabinet and can confirm I have a lot of body lotions!
Cleaned bath and sink. Put some allegedly magic foaming powder down the loo so if the hype is correct that will be marvellously clean 🙃
Cleaned shower screen and bathroom floor.

Evening all. One washload done and dried in the sun and wind, all put away. Dusted and vacuumed through downstairs. DH not feeling too good so we didn't get a walk today, although I did go over for the newspaper and then a bit later take something to DGD4's school to save DD2 some time. Just watered the pots in the garden. I blame the sparrows - I have a bird bath which I clean out and refill pretty much daily but they queue up to drink from the saucers I keep under my pots. Must like their water strained through compost….

Evening all, I haven't been doing much flying today as I have been in placement all day and only just got home.
My list for today
- Spend an hour on exam revision
- Spend an hour on uni coursework
- Feed the animals and walk the dog
- Sort out the dishes and put them into the DW
- Get an early night
I think that is everything that I need to tackle tonight. I hope everyone is having a lovely Thursday.
