    Phew Dove, that goodness for that! I'm so relieved.
    However, I did feel so guilty by 3 pm, I've dusted throughout the house and cleaned the hearth.

    Oh my goodness @Lizzie27 ... now I feel guilty for making you feel guilty ... I don’t think I’d given the downstairs a proper seeing to since Twelfth Night 😂 

    Love Bath ... only visited once to call in on distant rellies whilst on our way to Cornwall a few years ago ... I remember a marvellous meal (including escargot 🐌) at a little bistro just over an old bridge in the town centre. 😋

    If it was the little French bistro the far side of Pulteney Bridge on the left, we used to go there regularly. Alas, they closed down some years ago. I think it was called either No.5 or No.8 Argyle Street. You would hardly recognise Bath now, like most cities, it's changing rapidly.

    It's good for me to be made guilty over housework, it's the only time I get to do it!

    No housework getting done here girls, it takes more than a bit of guilt for me to get the duster out
    Have booked a man with a van to come tomorrow and take away all the garden rubbish, just have a couple of roses to prune so will have to do that in the morning before he appears at noon, come rain or shine and I suspect it's going to be rain.
    Been looking after Gabriel and Jonah ,today, it's been a bit of an ordeal as Gabriel is cutting his back teeth and he has a huge ulcer on his tongue which is upsetting him as one of his favourite pastimes is eating.

    Don't think I've cleaned so much in my life as I have in the past few weeks.  Plaster dust in food is not appealing... however, as soon as the renovation is finished I'll no doubt revert to being a slob.   :)
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
  • Punkdoc, you made me and my colleagues Lol and cry with tears over 'The Virus" Genius - and I'm thinking of moving to the Dordogne next year. I'll take my white flag making kit!!

    Evening all. Hope everyone is ok.
    Looking forward to my bed tonight - just choosing a podcast... really enjoying one called Mortem - about forensics (if you like that sort of thing). 

    My garden and I live in South Wales.

    @Lizzie27  That’s the one!  👍 I suppose it may have been longer ago than i thought.  I’ll get the laptop out tomorrow and check holiday records ... 

    I’m in bed now and rain is pattering on the west facing windows ... again 🙄 

    Night night all ... sweet dreams 🛌 🐑 🐑 🐑

    Hello @sam bevington, I live mostly in Dordogne. Good luck with your move, I wonder whereabouts.

    We've had a good evening chatting with our friends who've come to stay. Wine has been drunk.

    Hello to everyone. Sunny day here but not hot, 17 degrees outside and cardigan on inside, but at least we got some rain a couple of weeks ago. I’m thinking of changing my gardening habits to pots on the east and west verandas instead of trying to keep water up to various garden beds. Fed up with the drought.  

    My main interest in recent years is to grow kitchen herbs. I’ve trained Hubby , who likes to cook, to wander out for his fresh herbs instead of reaching for stock cubes. I’ve currently got French Tarragon, Chervil, Spearmint, Rosemary, Basil, Dill, Onion Chives, (the Garlic Chives are surviving on their own in the garden), flat leaved Parsley, Thyme, Nastutium, Lemon Verbina, etc. can’t think what else. 😁😏

    You would be horrified at my housekeeping, Dove. I do feel guilty now and then, but not enough to make me get going and clean up. 🙄

    Best wishes for a restful sleep everyone.
