Morning all.
Back to paid stuff today but I have done dailies, got two wash loads on line and walked Poppet. I should really check that admin is up to date but puzzles first.
Spend less now, work less later.6 -
Morning all (just). Washing blowing on the line in the sun. I took DGD4 to school this morning and I will pick her up this afternoon and bring her back for tea. Shopping delivered and put away. Apart from normal meals and washing up that's about it.
Hope everyone's OK x

Yay! The last of the chutney is potted up! And it tastes yummy 😁 Now I've just got to print out the labels, and cut circles of colourful fabric to cover all the jars, partly for easy identification, partly because they'll sell better as Christmas gifts.
Worn out already…

Well done, Iona! That’s a lot of potting.
I was up early (for me) again for the builders. Bathroom cleaned, bedroom and bathroom vacuumed. I then made a trip to the allotment for an hour. 2 hours later…
Mr M order for tomorrow finalised. QHI as weekend guests will be sleeping where the iron pile lives. I faffed a bit in the garden. It was frustrating to miss out on a good drying day, but plaster dust is flying, so it’s not worth the effort. The plasterer is working like a trojan and making good progress.
I thought I had done more, but it seems not,5 -
- one load washing done, hung out and brought in dry, put away.
- one load through DW
- casserole on
- plum and whitecurrant crumble assembled and ready to cook
- fruit cake made and sampled
- a load of wudupa done
- kitchen floor swept by Mr N and mopped by me
- ditto conservatory
- plastic boxes taken down to greenhouse, tomatoes inspected
- small flower arrangement done for guest room
- miscellaneous tidying done so house now fit for guest, who will arrive in the next couple of hours
- about to do drumming practice
Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
It's tough getting rid of the past but it does free up space for the future.7 -

J came yesterday afternoon and I helped him in the garden, so it now looks as if someone cares for it. Last night I bleached and scrubbed the shower mat. Not in consequence, you understand!
Planning to go out with DH and Rosie for the day, to catch the last of the warm weather.
Hope Poppet is doing well x

Afternoon all. One load of washing done and most of it dry and put away, just a few bits finishing off on the line. Went out with DDs this morning for walking, talking, coffee and shopping. DD1 having a very hard time. I should be cleaning the bedrooms but I can't be bothered :( I have done some deadheading in the back garden, just tidying things up for the season.
Hope everyone's OK x

We had a lovely day out - went to see the National Collection of Michaelmas Daisies at a garden near Malvern. Somehow some of the M daisies and a toadflax found their way into the back of our car 🤣. We also had a very nice lunch in a nearby cafe, where Rosie was welcomed and presented with a sausage free of charge. She would like to go there again, please!
The views from the Malvern Hills were glorious, but the weather front caught up with us on the way home so that was the end of the sunshine, and it's raining hard now. We also stopped off at the shops in our local market town and I managed to get fruit for us, thermal tops for me, and some craft bits for the children's group, while DH bought some varnish for the wargaming figures that he has at last picked up again and carried on painting.
Tired now, and Rosie is already snoring beside me, so nighty-night all xxx
