The milkman was later than usual today ... just after 5am ... I was already awake so I tiptoed down and got the milk in and put it in the fridge quickly ... and my day started early ... I put last night's washing up away, did OH's flask for him and made the morning cuppas before rejoining OH in bed ... and we've carried on with the early start ... the bedlinen has been changed and is in the wash, the floors have been swept, the watering done and some bread dough for this evening's supper rolls is proving ... and it's not even 9am yet 😇 ... however all is not perfect ... being a stubborn mule I didn't wait for OH to open the heavy sliding door on the studio ... it was getting very hot in there so I did it ... and the sideways pressure on my knee has caused a bit of 🙄 ... I've had to promise OH that while he's at work I won't go into the garden without my mobile duh

So sorry to hear that you have Covid @Busy-Lizzie I hope the symptoms are mild for you and that anyone in your family avoids catching it. Lots of sleep is good and don't be tempted to 'get back to normal' as soon as you feel a bit better. Luckily I don't seem to have caught it yet from daughter and she seems to be making a reasonable recovery now. Another lovely day here with, as I understand it, the temperature is supposed to be going up again this week.
Happy solstice everyone! We currently have BBC Radio Suffolk in town broadcasting live from our ancient Butter Cross for Suffolk Day. Just listening to poems written and read by local schoolchildren - charming! @Busy-Lizzie - what rotten luck! I do hope you don't suffer too much and recover soon. Thank heavens C. is with you.
Dove, I’ll get Hubby to help with that, but he is currently dozing in front of Marcus Wareing’s new home garden. 🙄. It’s on for him to watch but sometimes he just can’t keep awake. 😁.
... and some bread dough for this evening's supper rolls is proving ... and it's not even 9am yet 😇 ...
Hmmmm ... pride goeth before a fall ... what could go wrong? I hear you ask ............... I could forget to put the yeast in the mixture ... I took a tray of canon balls out of the oven .....
Another batch of rolls is proving .... 🙄

Very hot and muggy here - no sign of rain although we are desperate for a drop. The sky is dark and looks as if the heavens are about to open - but nothing wet forecast. I hope you find your home in one piece @Busy-Lizzie, but the garden may be ripped to pieces. Depends where you are. I think a long sleep is forecast for you, too. Get well soon!
Never mind @Dovefromabove Who hasn't done things like that (or gone out and left the keys in the front door!!)
Nearly bedtime for you @Pat E Shortest day for you. Nighty night night!!

Get well soon @Busy-Lizzie.
