Oh Nanny! I wish I was able to come over and stamp my feet around. A stranger in a suit with a clipboard really does work wonders sometimes.
Cleaning update: he's cleaned all the wheels and started on the lights... That's six hours of cleaning.
Shall we start placing bets on him wanting to use my car to go to Monday (I'm off work) as his will be too clean to use?
Yesterday I experimented with my bread maker; I really am fed up with shop brought bread. I was brought this super luxury fancy pants mixer a while ago- to find that you can only use one setting for gluten free and that disables all the posh ingredient dispensers!
As you can see... the super expensive pre mix type stuff was a complete disaster! Time to hunt the internet for more ideas.
For anyone feeling glum I thought I'd add a photo of Reggie; someone likes whipped cream!
Managed half hour deadheading and watering in a break of cloud just now, but thick cloud settled in until this evening. I have kittens, tennis and baking to fill my time today though.
Morning - heading off to Stratford (upon Avon) for a christening .....an old friend of mine's new baby girl. They live in New York now, so don't get to see them very often. Looking forward to it, but best get on our way, as a few miles to eat up???
That's good to hear Joyce. We woke early, and lay under the blankets for a while reading and then eventually nodded off again. We woke at lunch time . We made up for our laziness by going out the back and cutting more firewood, so don't feel too guilty. Minus 7.5 again this morning.

Excellent sleep 'til 9am and it's dry with a bit of blue sky
Morning all. Clari - Reggie is a delight!

Lovely dog photos. We still miss our little poodle very much.
Glad your eye is responding Lilyp.
Pat - that's chittering cold. Staying in bed was a good idea.
LP - only one thing on their mind and waiting patiently.
Forecast correct for today here so hope you have it too.
