‘Evening All’
It’s late. I’m just in from book club and popping in to say isn’t it lovely to have the cooler air back? ‘See’ you tomorrow. x
Good evening Kitcheners from a exhausted but pleased muse. Oh the delight of day at 19 degrees and a northerly breeze. I got so much weeding done in the polytunnel and a flower bed this afternoon. Haven't dared to stay in the tunnel for more the a couple of minutes to check on the toms for the past few days.
What a time you had that day Naughtyneine. It's many many years since I squeezed myself into a loo accompanied by little ones and mine have all been girls. Good luck to your DOH in getting it all back into his man cave. MrM would get one of those looks from me if he ever empties his boy's shed.
Hope today was much better for you SueD.
Did you get a pud when you got home Ladyleftfieldlover? I was going to say that MrJax might have some of that lovely cake left? If not, perhaps you'd like a square of the salted caramel brownie I've made. I've got a tiny piece with a dob of crème fraîche. Bigger piece on it's way to MrMuse. Help yourself Kitcheners. ?
Hope he had a great day Jax. What a lovely thought the ring was.
That second sunset photo is amazing soop. Thank you.
Highlight of my day was an hour's chat with DD this evening. She has two day work left then a break of two weeks with lots planned. Off gigging first (camping) and then a short holiday with DGD1 in the Derbyshire Dales . She will drop in on my brother to give him a hug from me.
Take care Kitcheners.
Oh Lord, Naughtyneine! What are they like? 
I didn’t have as much to do with the wee ones today, ds1 & dil had that job while dd was working. I had the horrible task of clearing out soiled bedding and a mattress and dirty kitchen goods etc from my mum’s house and making it presentable enough for cleaners to go in and do a deep clean later on.
You know how a place you know well changes when it becomes empty? That’s what’s happened to mum’s house. While she was actually living in it, the dirt wasn’t so apparent but now she’s in hospital, and I suppose you see things more clearly then, it’s apparent she hasn’t been coping for a while. She won’t admit it though.
I don’t know where I am going to start with making it habitable again, I really don’t. 
SueD,

Naughtyneine PLEASE continue to make us lot laugh at your shenanigans.
Sue My heart goes out to you. You are presented with a terribly distressing task. I echo the suggestions of other Kitcheners. They are paid to do a thorough clean and have experience of what to expect. This is new to you. Try to step back a little and allow the professionals to take over.
Jax Hurrah for Mr Jax, he will have had a birthday celebration to remember, and us lot enjoyed being able to virtually join in.
muse Oh for a taste of your salted caramel brownie. It looks beyond delicious.
Ladyleftfieldlover Wot! No pud? That is beyond belief. Sue them for dereliction of duty. 
Maw Rain is precious. I look forward to a most welcome downpour, especially as we depend on a spring water supply.
Blossoming Thirty minutes cycling deserves a badge. Not so long ago, I did 40 mins daily on my exercise bike. I so wish that I had the energy to continue. We do walk for half an hour daily. Once upon a time, we walked in the hills. There are times when I really do not appreciate being so lack-lustre. The cancer drug has robbed me of my get-up-and-go. However, it also protects me from a return of the disease, for which I am grateful.
Nannytopsy The baby will sort him/herself out. If not, all will be well, thanks to the team who will care for Mum's wellbeing.
After yesterday's wardrobe busting exercise, I have now to try on every pair of jeans that I've unearthed. If a pair are too tight, I shall launder and pass on to the Salvation Army clothing bank. I guarantee that there will be a number of pairs that will be put to further good use. It makes sense.
Lunch is being served. I may return a little later. Love to you all.
Good afternoon dear Kitcheners. I’m so glad of the cooler weather today.
What an awful task SueD, as others have said let the cleaners do their job.
I lost so much fitness and muscle tone during my cancer treatment and recovery Soop and I wasn’t starting off from a particularly good place anyway! Things seem stable now so I’m just keeping on keeping on, so to speak. It’s very hot work though! 30 minutes is my current target, and I’m gradually increasing the resistance so my legs are forced to work harder. I’m still doing my daily physio and balance exercises and I do feel better for it.
Thank you for the lovely cake Muse
