Ice - cream (and the evening in general) was lovely! Returned the ice cream maker today somewhat reluctantly, but we have some of the chocolate left over for tonight.
£18 on empanadas today- moment of hungry weakness while out and about. Very nice though, and fed the three of us plus morsels for dog.
£60 on 400 litres of compost to mulch the garden. Weeded, drenched and mulched the front garden and then it began raining.
£65 on DS’ hygienist. He needs to floss more. Dentist check up on Monday, the first since 2022 (my fault, apparently, for not nagging him) so we’ll see what that brings. My hope, in continuing to do this sort of stuff for him, is that when he does leave ‘properly’, he will have taken on board the benefits of basic health care and continue to do it for himself.
The Seurat was lovely! As was the walk through Temple Gardens and the salads at Corner Shop cafe. The section of the Strand outside KCL and Somerset House has been pedestrianised and is brilliant. The galleries and museum trips and the book groups are my attempt to hang on to my own life beyond elderly parents and halfway launched spawn and cleaning up after the mucky spaniel! I hope it doesn’t sound pretentious or show-offy!
Right now- laundry, cleaning the stairs and organising dinner. Sun’s out again but my gardening is done for the day.
