    I missed the HHC but I was digging at the allotment. Does that count?! I have some fresh spinach which will somehow become dinner tonight, and some leeks which quite frankly are really spring onions. It was a beautiful morning out there.
    I have also finally cleaned the kitchen surfaces, removed crud from the fridge and freezer seals, and made a supreme effort and cleaned the kitchen floor. I was that close to making an excuse not to though.
    Just grabbing a coffee then I’m off to brave Mr M.

    Apologies for not posting yesterday - I had a Meet'n'Greet visit with a new client. Result - Bracken, who is a gorgeous dog, big fella from Dogs Trust, will be coming for his holiday in August.

    I also have two more Meet'n'Greets this week, Thursday and Saturday, so I shall be a gibbering wreck by the end of the week!

    Have done a load of my washing, also hand-washed some place mats that I made out of the cut-off bit when I shortened the kitchen curtains to fit the window.

    Mr Wolf has been to his first of six exercise classes at the hospital - these are for Parkinsons patients, with a view to enabling them to remain mobile and functional. So I don't suppose he'll want to do a lot else for the rest of the day.

    I do want to steam-clean the bath lift when I get chance, but there's an A-frame full of washing over the bath currently, so it won't be today.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Shirlgirl well done, what do you do? I used to do dressage, badly, many years ago.
    :(

    I show dogs. I have a 9 month old puppy that won Best !!!!! (female dog) which is the 2nd time in only 3 championship shows. Crufts next!

    The OH wants to start competing at carriage driving and DD2 does intro dressage and 2ft sj. DD1 used to sj at decent heights but she gave up riding last year.

    Zero flying and not even dailies here today. Left home at 7am to take relative to hospital walk-in clinic. Arrived home at 2 pm in time to see the dogs and then sort the horses. Realised I'd left the key for the stables at the nursing home in my jacket which is 45 minutes plus away.:mad: Late to collect DD2 from the station. Will be glad when today is over.

    Really wanted to do a HHC never mind maybe next time.

    All decs down and in the attic, with many thanks to OH who basically did all the Christmas decorations this year on his own. Extra bedding needed for extra guests all sorted away to near the attic, so the house is back to normal for the first time since before Christmas. It all feels a bit empty, what with one thing and another. Must start on Mount Washmore; mostly bedding because I cleared everything around New Year.


    Been to the dentist and had a filling, so my face feels most odd.
    Better is good enough.

    Evening all,

    I am really tired, was up all last night with DS. It's been a long time since I was up all night with a child! He seems a bit brighter thankfully but still needs the full week off school as they haven't crusted over yet.

    Washing all up to date, just need to put clean laundry away, and DW is about to go on. Have lovely evenings all x
    MFW :)

    I've just managed to get the hard drive out of my very, very old laptop that needs to go to the tip. Result! If I'd thought to check YouTube videos first it would have been even quicker.
