Up early for another willow weaving day. Hoping to make a little willow bark basket for my granddaughter to carry at the wedding. 
Well, you'd think I would have squatters rights on my name, but it seems not!
So long nanachrissy 
Nanachrissy I shall get so confused if you change your name - get her to change hers! Shouldn't be allowed to duplicate!
Today I have shifted 640 litres of bark from the car to the back garden and then in small buckets up to the top of the garden and scattered round all my newly planted shrubs and ground cover plants. It was hot and exhausting and took 3 hours but I feel very good, in fact positively saintly - and hopefully the weeds won't grow while I am away in Sydney. Just had my lonely supper in the garden and the sun has just disappeared over the horizon so a quick look at GN before the next 
or 2
Trying to get my user name changed as there is new NanaChrissy who doesn't seem to want to change hers!
Not having much luck so far 
I thought it would be easy 
I think Josie is getting ready for the party busy!
kitty and Butter...well deserved 
Kitty this is for you, you must be ready for it
Met up with Lyndie today at Wisley for a cuppa and chat and plan to meet up again for a trip to a show/cinema etc.
Trimmed hedges, planted out beans,washing on line & shopping delivery put away = o'clock!
Crossing off and scoring through W. jobs list. Feels very good.
Friday night and I'm enjoying a glass of chilled Sancerre - delicious!
Thank you nanachrissy I don't think it's over yet though! The wedding is at the beginning of July so we have booked a few days away the following week. Hopefully, it will all have stopped by then!
Annika may?
kitty but you may have to take the shirt back to the shop
Kitty you can take the rest of the week off!!
Words fail me, kitty! You are a true heroine!
(I'd be worried about the shirt, as well....)
Nor will I have helped 'that green thing' by hurtling in and out of town so many times! 
Getting really quite stressed!! Baseline at the moment is fairly stressed as we have had our middle daughter, her partner and their baby living with us for the past 3 months as they are between houses. As some of you know we have also had our eldest son living with us for 4 years since he had a stroke. He has finally been allocated an adapted flat about 3 miles away and is really excited to be getting away from Mum and Dad again at the ripe old age of 40. He chose today (without checking with me!! 
) to have his new cooker etc delivered and also the underlay for his new carpets. Today, we have men in replacing two windows, theoretically arriving at 9.30 but in reality turning up at 8.00, AND our daughter needed to get to the station for 8.15 to catch a train. My husband was doing his volunteering this morning so - guess who has been run ragged delivering people, letting people in, seeing people out, making iced drinks, walking the dog etc, etc, etc. [completely exhausted emoticon]
And, to top it all, I've had to let Mr Lester go shopping for a shirt for youngest daughter's wedding all on his own! Oh, dear!
They like to see a bit more flesh when the sun comes out annika
Annika - either he didn't notice or he didn't want to burst your bubble!
Just come back from supermarket shopping with Mr Annika, it is a nice day so wore cool cotton trousers and a lovely cotton top. Spoke to a few people I knew and even found time to pop into the library and found one or two more to speak to.
Twice Mr Annika told me I looked nice which is unusual for him 
. The thing is it might have been a good idea when he was taking the time to look at me and comment on my apperance he could have informed me that I had a huge toothpaste dribble down my top !!!!
That's me!
Good girl!
