    Thanks @Obelixx. I don't think I've worked as hard as you. Sitting on the bedroom carpet trying to remember whether I've read a book or not wasn't really hard going! Nor was filling a bag with first OH's car magazines to take to the recycling bin. Possum's move, exciting.

    I went shopping! Into town with daughter who needed to get a key cut quickly and sent to her friend who's looking after her cat while she's up here (long story!) It felt a bit weird as it's 6 months since we last went (apart my two quick trips to hairdresser). About 50% of people were wearing masks outside and most people wearing them inside shops. We braved W.H Smiths (Bath's new PO) - big queue, Primark and M & S. I wanted to get a white fitted cotton sheet for our double bed but surprise, surprise, they didn't have what I wanted. I'm fed up with M & S, no wonder they're going down the pan.

    I'm pleased we went because life has to get back to some normality and we felt reasonably safe, but  didn't bother with lunch out and it just wasn't the enjoyable experience it used to be. The £6.50 car park charge didn't help either.

    Been an odd day weather wise here. Not as wet as forecast, just smirry almost all day. Windier rather than wet, but not unpleasant.Ā 
    Roast dinner for us as we were all here.Ā 
    I've definitely had a lazier day than you @Obelixx :D
    One good thing is that the A83 is open. I'm considering getting up to do one of the wee hills. Weather looks quite good for tomorrow and Wed, but that's here. Argyll might be less favourable. My thighs may scream in agony at the prospect....
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    @Lizzie27, I've tried on 2 occasions about 3 years apart to buy white fitted sheets from M&S, they never seem to have them. Got them in Sainsbury's.

    Thanks Dove, I've seen them at Dunelm at a higher thread count and a cheaper price so may try there.Ā 
    @Busy-Lizzie, I've previously bought duvet sets/sheets at Sainsbury's but am liking the pure cotton sets this year in particular. I don't iron them though!!!Ā

    Lovely day in Bournemouth with Chicklet ..... got the chain ferry across to Studland and walked up to Old Harry Rocks. Then back to Westbourne for a lovely mealĀ 



    BIG day for me tomorrow......I’m going back to school 🤣. Ā First day of my RHS level 2 course at Merrist Wood. Ā Pencil case and notebook are ready, packed lunch ready to assemble in the morning. Ā Feeling a bit nervous - Hope my little grey cells are still up to it 😳
