Morning everyone - hope you’re having a lovely weekend so far. I had planned to catch up on The Coronation on I Player last night but we watched BGT instead & had a lovely mini roast ( chicken breasts with fresh rosemary, shed loads of roasties, broccoli & posh gravy). Also watched Greys Anatomy. I had a horrid night ( my Vit B12 injection is due but like an idiot, I hadn’t ordered it & now have to wait until Tuesday). That explains some of my other symptoms over the last few days too. Never imagined a lack of something could make you feel so dreadful!
Had planned a cream tea this aft with family but they’re leaving earlier than I thought so will just pop over to see them late morning. I’ve already seen DBRO & DN so need to catch up with DSIL.
We have no fridge/freezer atm so have to be a bit more organised with meals. I have Jersey Royals so need to buy something to go with them. I love salmon but DH isn’t a fan of fish, apart from battered! Might do a bit of decluttering later & sort the kitchen/bathroom. DD14 dyes her hair often & although she does her best, it gets everywhere!
Not sure of BH Mon plans yet. DH has decided to work. I might meet up with friends late afternoon.

I had a bad night (was violently sick then couldn't sleep). Woke up tired and very grumpy. Did some angry cleaning in my 13 year old DD bedroom (removed no less than THREE sink loads of dirty dishes and cutlery 😡), bagged all her laundry up for the laundrette and changed her (very smelly) bedding! (Before I get the whys it so bad yada yada, she's got ODD, ADHD and an as yet undiagnosed condition where she doesn't care about cleanliness etc).
My 3 year old is happily playing outside in his little castle in the garden, I've made a pasta bake for dinner and my OH is snoozing on the sofa. I'm curled up in cosy clothes, reading a book with a glass of cold chard. Earlier grumpiness has gone, the suns out and I feel quite content. Hope everyone else is enjoying their day, I love afternoons like this!!!!

Happy to oblige @mynameiscalypso !

DS1 15 has been for a run / workout, then gone cycling with a friend. He came back for lunch, but has gone out again just to hang out with the same friend. It’sa public holiday here tomorrow, so no homework.

DS2 12 has gamed with various friends, taking a break for lunch and a walk in the park with his old mum. He’s helped me make bolognese (lasagne for dinner tonight).

I’ve pottered in the garden between showers, cleared out cupboards and generally sorted stuff. I also worked out our family calendars from now till September 😱 - we are travelling a lot this summer, plus DS1 is going on holiday with various friends once lessons stop, and both DS2 and DH have operations / treatments scheduled.

DH has been sharpening knives among other diy stuff. And now he is going to bring me a Negroni aperitif while the bolognese bubbles away! I love a Sunday at home.

It's a sport on TV evening here.
Had new York food for dinner after a sunny day of relaxation and socialising in village.

2 happy kids, another Monday off

Life could be a lot worse

I dropped hints to my daughter to have DGD but I think she was oblivious!!! Perfect way to spend today!!!! Xx was still a nice day. Made a few plans for later in the week this evening. Days like this make me grateful for what I've for in life to enjoy....
Hope others have had an equally pleasant day!!! 💐
