Hope you have a little more energy yourself, this week, shodatin. As much, even, as the Eryngiums, which are still happily putting out leaves despite the weather and despite one of the local cats attempting to dig in the beautiful new bed (now defended by a little palisade of pokey sticks).
Hope everyone else also coping in the energy stakes, and Upward that you're winning the war of inanimate objects. At least after this you'll have a good grip of where all your belongings are, and not have to spend a day hunting for pyjamas.
On the subject of which, can I share my small victory over teaspoons? For six years I've had filthy, brown, tea-stained teaspoons, because apparently none of the many people who wash up for me have mastered the art of actually cleaning them every week. I can't really complain (I must be Grateful). But oh god I'm so happy, so sooooo happy to now be able to stand at the sink and scrub my own bloomin' teaspoons to a bright and gleaming silver each time I use them. It's the little things, you know? As I'm sure everyone here does.
Anyway, hope that's not too much like bragging.
Btw, was well impressed over by the cleverness of hob & shodatin remembering that iris name between you. I say, what a team!
hob petal, hope you're managing to get enough rest at the mo? DH too. I know there's so much that needs your attention, and that you're so much doing for others. So please do look after yourselves as well.
kizzie, just to let you know we're still thinking of you, and there's
in the summerhouse whenever you want to drop in. Fingers crossed things are going well for you and the travelling/training isn't too exhausting.
