A small inconsequential thing.

DH was finally able to cut the lawns and I put all the clippings in bags. I hope the council continue to collect garden waste as I have loads waiting to go. I did quite a lot of weeding and I have put some seeds in. We are due a decent weekend so I shall be creating even more garden waste.

We have bought a small poly tunnel, it arrived today in a long heavy box.

Seeds to be delivered soon, pots a plenty floating around in the garden, soil to be ordered and delivered.

That’s DH sorted, plenty of room in tunnel for a deckchair too.

I’ve got plenty to do.

I sorted out 2 boxes of teaching materials which have lurked under the spare bed for 12 years. Puzzles, quizzes, fun maths sheets and some books. May augment the resources for the 8 youngsters now at home! Such a pity I can't make myself available!

Today, no eggs
No eggs on Tuesday in Tesco
I asked if the hens had stopped laying.

We found some at the farm shop.

I think Hetty home deliveries will become the norm.

I wonder if you will get one under your gooseberry bush. ?

Had a lovely delivery from our garden centre who are now doing home deliveries - compost and lots of lovely seeds. So that'll keep me quiet. Also a Gooseberry bush and a Blueberry bush. Was very successful with Blueberries for several years until suddenly the plant died!

I let the window cleaner come into the back garden to clean the windows ?

Gabriella, the before was shameful
and not for public consumption.

I am essentially very clean and tidy but our dresser reflects our family life.
Full of tat, pictures, stuff that has no place elsewhere in the house even stones and fossils from our beach walks

It is now all ordered and clean, every cupboard and drawer immaculate.....ish.

Regarding the shortage of loo rolls I am dragging my bidet, screaming and shouting no doubt, out of retirement.

Which is the before and which the after?

Kitchen dresser sorted

Gave the bedroom and en-suite a good clean this morning.
Replied to emails, read the paper, had a go at the crosswords and sudokus
Can't do much st the moment - one very comfortable cat on my lap!
Must put the bin out soon.
Been raining all afternoon so no gardening.

I walked into Waitrose Godalming at noon. ..it looked as if it had been visited by a plague of locusts. People buying literally anything whether they normally eat it or not.
Saw one woman with, among other things, 20 large peppers, I was next in the queue and counted.
I bought a pack of Garibaldi biscuits, ditto Nice biscuits and 3 large potted plants of which there were plenty on the outside display.
Yesterday, M&S was ravaged.
Today, no eggs. How long do people think fresh goods last? It's worse than Brexit.

Spent much of the day texting or on the phone. Have changed my bed though.

I rarely bake, but as there is no knit & natter group today or for the foreseeable future, I made a rolled gingerbread. Its cooling in the kitchen, smells good.

Confined? If only - I've been to my 2 part-time jobs today, got a few bits of shopping, collected a parcel from the sorting office, picked up something I ordered from Marks and Spencer, and now I'm going to do the vacuuming, mopping and ironing at home.........

I've got two loads of washing on the line.
As it was so nice outside, I stayed and did some weeding. But had to laugh, as I was kneeling and moved away from my kneeler, then realised I couldn't get up. So there I was crawling across the grass to my kneeler, where I finally managed to stand up.
Glad I was in the back garden, and not a sight for sore eyes in the front.

I am in the can't draw/won't draw' terrified of drawing group. I sat at the kitchen table and started a drawing from a photograph of my lovely young dog, who died at six last year. I'm in discussion with myself about continuing this new thing.

Been doing a bit of Spring Cleaning, beds all changed, sheets, duvet covers washed and dried outside and now ironed. Looking good

I took my dog for a walk in the woods earlier today it was lovely and quiet. Only saw couple of other dog walkers at a distance. Waiting for grocery delivery, looks like I’m only getting half of what I ordered, oh well, grateful for small mercies ?

Spent two hours trying to fathom out how to put Skype on my tablet so that DH and I can see the DGC's.

DH is technosavvy so I dare not mention that I am struggling.

I’ve just walked a mile - in my kitchen. Watched a YouTube video with a slightly screechy woman “teacher”. I enjoyed it though and it cheered me up as I was feeling a bit fed up.

Glorious sunshine here in NE Scotland. My weather app shows unbroken sun and mild temperatures all day. The windows are open and a breeze blowing through. The psychological thought of all that fresh air is uplifting.

Also, there are some long-tailed-tits flying up to the windows and fossicking around. I think the sun has brought out little insects from the wood frames. Not that my house has any cobwebs, oh no, never!

I now have no excuse to stop me finalising my village hall accounts!

A bullfinch is making a nest in our bird box, hurray babies on the way ?
