I'm just finishing my first cuppa of the day, in my conservatory spot. Boy cat's bird watching in the window (when is he not!?) and girl's gone back to bed - probably in with dd2. If ever we can't find her, she's in dd2's bed!

I've had a tidy round in the kitchen, put a few pots to soak, and put the washer on, before sitting down with my tea. The floors down here could do with a hoover and mop, but that's an after tea job, I think.

Today will probably be quite a steady and chill one here - I've hurt my right shoulder somehow. Probably trying to rid the strip of ground of allllll the bindweed. So no digging or decorating for me today 😥. Very frustrating when there's so much to do both in & out! I'll have a steady potter in the garden at the not so tough bits - deadheading my plants & cutting new growth off the brambles. Maybe next year though, I'll let them grow & keep them well trimmed?

I'll spend the rest of the day between reading and crochet, before helping dd2 cook tea.

I have no idea what the girls are up to today - dd1's become fully invested in The Rookie (dd2's favourite), so probably watch some more of that together!

Pasta bake for tea, then I'll see if anyone fancies a couple of rounds of one of my board games. The answer will be no - it always is - but I try anyway. I'll moan at them for saying no for a bit, then carry on my book. I tell a lie, I might actually start something new, it's boring me a bit.

What about you lot? 🙂

Morning @lucysmam. That sounds like a lovely relaxing day.

DCat woke me at 4.45 for breakfast. Cuddled him until 6.15 when he made it clear that everything would get pawed off my nightstand if I didn't feed him. I got up, fed him and he sniffed the food and slid off through his cat flap. So I went back to bed. Up again at 8am, coffee in garden with DH on the swing, then picked some blackberries that grow over the fence from the field behind. DCat helped by swiping at brambles.

DH and I then went for a walk to pick more blackberries. Now we have a couple of kilos and I'm looking up bramble jelly and blackberry fool recipes which will keep me busy. Also have a lot of ironing to do as I am off tomorrow, working away from home for a week.

Usually have a Zoom call quiz with adult DC but one is playing a gig tonight and the other is on holiday with his partner, so just DH, DCat and me tonight. Will probably binge watch the last few episodes of Ann Droid.

Is that a good series? I love the 2 main actresses
