Hmm yes think I overdid being relaxed yesterday, today.
Still [averts eyes], need to read my book for bookclub, about hardworking american pioneers breaking the sod.

Dh for some reason has taken it into his head to strew lawn with prunings, and keeps asking angrily for different rusty implements which cannot be located, from under the three defunct paddling pools in shed.

Hi all, missed you all yesterday too like Prof
I'm on one of my downers atm, noting to worry about just probably tired and overeating are getting me down. You sound like a very good friend, Prof
DH is fitting a skirting board in the kitchen - we are slowly trying to get it sorted.
Had a lovely day - soft play and had a natter with a friend, then out to local Nat Trust with SIL and dc - lovely weather and nice and chilled out. Good cake in tea room
Otherwise need to make dinner now for me and dh, children are asleep. May pour a vodka and coke to cheer myself up and go in the sun in the garden!!
Happy birthday Sag and hello to everyone else.
