Me again. Since last post I have changed sofa throws so WM is busy again, watered indoor plants downstairs and done main part of laying floor tiles. Just got the tricky bit round the toilet to do.

Having breakfast now so will wash up, S&s kitchen as per list then crack on with the floor. Poppet will get her walk a little later today.

Well done Jazee.

Morning all xx

Sorry to hear that you have another migraine iona. I hope it's improving.

The novelty of doing nothing is wearing off. Finally. So I've written a comprehensive 'to do' list to focus my mind. And to free up a few synapses. I need to learn where my limits are - there are definitely less spoons available these days - so do a bit, sit a bit, and slowly increase the length of the do a bits seems like a good plan.

I seem to have accumulated a mountain of dirty pots! So today's job is WUDUPA. In batches. That'll MAD and get me back in the groove.

Love to all

So glad Poppet is so much better.

Sorry to hear about your migraine Ionafan.

Beautiful day here and I don't have the energy to hike, so it will be dog walking and Flying. In that order.

Jazee

More progress made with tiles, bedding changed and Poppet walked.

Afternoon all. It was raining when I woke up this morning and it's still raining now. Luckily I don't have enough washing for a load today but I will tomorrow, which also looks rainy. And I pick up DD1's dog tomorrow so I will definitely be getting wet. Went shopping with DDs this morning and we had coffee out. Hope the poorly people and animals soon recover x

Wren was being all precious about people being about so it wasn't a long walk this morning, which is about normal but very frustrating on a beautiful day with a Simpson's sky when the whole of the rest of the week rain is forecast but she did everything she was supposed to do. And then because the roofer came in to see if any of our three hoses were long enough to do what he needed one for, she decided that was so threatening she pee'd on my RoD carpet. sigh

The bathroom has had a thorough going over, the kitchen sink and all the gibble and accoutrements around it have had a thorough clean, the DW has been run, w/u has been done (by Belovéd, I heart Belovéd), the hob is shining again after a lot of work when it didn't, I'm currently dealing with two revolting bird feeders (my least favourite job) and I'll do the shower room after that.

In the meantime two pairs of trainers have arrived, been tried on, were not a good enough fit and have been packed up to go back. That means I've now got to go to Exeter to a specialist shop to see if they can find something that will work. A combination of wide feet and several badly healed broken bones over the years means it isn't as easy as it should be to find the right trainers and if I'm spending £££ on a walking holiday next year finding the right pair now while I'm getting fit is imperative. I need waterproof ones.

Pots have all been WUDUPA. Ditto pans. Ditto recycling.

Dishcloths is soaking in bleach.

That feels better.

Sorry the pesky migraine is back again, Iona.

I seem to have been busy but not necessarily achieving much. Especially on the flying front. It has rained / drizzled constantly since the early hours.
In no particular order: bedding stripped, washed and use made of the TD which is still a novelty having never had a drier until last year and it has been hardly used since DH bought it. Bedroom dusted. Car filled with petrol. Hair cut ticked off. Admin done, tax return completed. Just have a sausage casserole to prep for dinner / tea.

Thanks for lists.

Hope migraine vanishes Iona.

We got back home last night after a very successful couple of days both with my Mum (as alert as I'd seen her for a while which was especially pleasing as her Godson and wife were visiting from Canada) and BIL (Mr N helped him cut a leylandii hedge. The EV showed its tardis-like features accommodating a garden shredder, loppers, 2 hedge cutters, assorted tools, our clothes and - on short journeys to collect them from the station - our delightful but 'traditionally built' Canadians. Not to mention on the way down the slow cooker (butternut satay curry) and dish (mixed fruit crumble) and chocolates - dishes and cooker came home but not chox.

A very late and lazy start today but managed to put one load through DW. Hand washed the 'cosy' that wraps round my cafetiere. Caught up with emails. Did some drumming practice. Cancelled a subscription I didn't want. Finalised a food shopping list for Mr N to do after his photography club. Went to church group. Spent a long time googling various places in Canada as our friends are keen for us to visit next year.
