I rose early to feed and water our retriever (who always happily welcomes the new day by rolling and wriggling in the grass with legs in the air - it's a lovely sight). Then, the ritual of medicines and potions for my various bothersome ailments/conditions. No breakfast as YogaYay! morning on Tuesdays. I arrived there with a painful neck and shoulder (had it 5 days) and floated home with much less pain after following my body's lead! Happy Tuesday all.

I walked down to Lidl I wanted some nuts and seeds to add to my cereal bumped into my next door neighbour and had the longest chat we’ve ever had on the walk home.
Then I’ve had to clean out my drains, kitchen and the rainwater drain I noticed the rainwater drain was overflowing yesterday. Turns out when my GSs cleaned my driveway last week they had washed all the sand into the drain blocking it, so rubber gloves, trowel, hosepipe and bucket of hot Jeyes fluid later they are all clean and smelling lovely 🤣. Now for a cuppa.

DH has slipped a disc and isn't coping very well to say the least. I'm running up and down fetching and carrying, getting prescriptions and preparing food and drinks that he's grudgingly willing to eat. He's really suffering very noisily and has zero patience. I've had to cancel everything this week as I can't leave him like this. I'm trying to get him out of bed as I know that it's important to but it seems impossible. I just don't know what to do next ☹️

Deadheading my corn marigold, corn camomile, ox eye daisies, and field poppies to be dried and used for next years wild flower garden. The bees love them and I love the bees. Best time of day for me is first thing in the morning or last thing at night when the bees are busy in the garden.

I’ve cleaned the bathroom, done a load of washing, tidied the kitchen, fed the dog and put our lunch on.
DH will walk the dog later. My get-up-and-go has got-up-and-gone now….🙄

I am looking after my one year old granddaughter. I sleep well on Tuesdays!

I have done a wash load and cleaned the bathroom. I’m now sitting with a coffee after a late breakfast. After lunch I need to ring my dad then collect my grandson from school and bring him here for a couple of hours.
I’m also trying to book in the diary a date for meet ups (separately) with a couple of friends and keep getting WhatsApp messages from another group of friends. Oh for the days before mobile phones!

You've been very busy on behalf of other people. Hope they are all grateful for your efforts kircubbin.

I am just getting over a humdinger of a cold and noticing all the jobs I haven't done over the last week so today I will be trying to catch up.

I got up late and decided not to go swimming. Fed 5 animals that I am looking after and brought in 3 neighbours bins.
Then I drove over to check my sons house and water the garden. I was surprised to find that my local corner shop has been taken over by a nice Sri Lenkan chap. Its a very popular spot and he should do well.Now to sit down and do my puzzles.
