Chicken wasn't thawed in time for dinner, so I threw together some chicken burgers with fresh baked dinner buns. OH and kids played outside and started the chimnea while I finished putting supper together. We spent the evening together enjoying our meal under the pergola, then sat around the fire in lounge chairs while OH cooked marshmallows. Just shy of one week since outside exposure, but we are certainly making the best of it.
Made me laugh when Johnnie played Ian Dury yesterday. But then he made me cry playing Fire and Rain, as I always do. Happy days.
My RTBC at the weekend was, I'd picked up something in Sainsbury, and checked my Nectar points. 1 point short of being able to use them. I ordered some seeds on Saturday which earned me -1 point. I can now use them for petrol. I'm easily pleased
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I finally got the first cut off the lawn. My 10 year old push lawn mower made short work of it despite having had no more maintenance than the odd squirt of WD40. You can barely tell the lawn has been a paddy field for the last 6 months. The weeds have suffered more than the grass sadly so I'm going to have to sow more clover into there again.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Clover grown very happily here with no help from me except in the bits where I've stopped OH mowing and there it's saying Ta Very Much.
I have learned a new word today. One of my patch ladies who went to her home in Toulon 2 weeks ago to babysit her 2 school age grand-daughters for their early spring school hols told me she can't cos she's in the at risk group. She's taken some patch and embroidery projects to keep her busy in the evenings and had spent a lovely day in the garden in the sunshine.
She used the verb bouquiner which I thought might be something to do with bouquets and flowers but no, it means reading.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Sadly @Hostafan1 and @Dovefromabove I fear the good will suffer from Mr W's lack of morals as well as he does.
