    Just finished filling holes in walls. They're all quite nice and smooth so I'm going to base coat tomorrow. 4th load of washing finishing now, 3 loads on line as weather had turned out great with a bit of sunshine and a nice breeze. Not much flying done since this morning, but we've just been invited to my brother's for dinner, so no more tonight. DH thinks climbing has been cancelled tomorrow so said he'll iron while I paint???:confused: OK then!

    Might be back later, but if not, tomorrow. x

    All the washing dried really well, it turned out very warm and sunny.

    All put away now.

    DD1 came over with her dog for an hour, that's always tiring (the dog, not DD), then I took my dog out for another little walk because we have to shut her away when DD's dog is here or she gets too stressed. He's young and "lively".

    Just made a sponge which I'm tray-baking and going to put lemon icing on the top of, didn't have enough lemon to flavour the sponge too but I expect it will be OK. I only had two eggs left as well so I hope it turns out OK. Just having to improvise a bit :D

    Done hens, been and collected 25 ltrs of water from bowser, played in garden with dd's. Kids fed and watered.

    DH out with dogs. Not a clue what to do for our T

    Severe lack of motivation today. Complete opposite to everyone else, well done you busy bees :T

    Well ladies, here we are - the before and after of the west wall. All is joined up now and I'm chuffed.

    Off to start dinner - I'm doing Prettypennies Gulyas but will adapt it slightly - I'll do the potatoes separately just in case DS doesn't like the meat (he can be very fussy!)
