My niece and her boyfriend got engaged yesterday. They called in today to tell me, beat by beat, how it all went. They are veh veh excited! It was a complete surprise and she hasn't stopped laughy-crying since. 😍 Let the madness begin! 🤣
Pulled my hand out of my gardening glove, and found it covered in red stuff. Very relieved to find a blackberry had fallen into my glove, no real blood involved!
The morning glory has started to flower at long last. I only grew them because the seeds were free in GW mag, but I was beginning to think they were a failure as it was all top growth, till now.
So pleased that I managed to get a very large, very heavy, wardrobe emptied, and brought down the stairs, through the house, out the back door, across the garden, and into the garage - all without assistance!!😁😁😁
But, ......
I'll admit I had to dismantle it, having first realised that I'm no longer strong enough to manoeuvre heavy furniture on my own!!
But, .....
It refused to come apart with ease. So, I had to use a sledgehammer!!!
So, I made rather a mess - in the bedroom, across the landing, down the stairs, along the hall, through the dining room and conservatory, and . . . .
So, my wife (who is still out, thank goodness), won't have to hoover the house.
And I still found time to chop and stew the apples - enough to fill another six jars. And clear up after.
This afternoon? Going out to get a new dining table and chairs. I should sleep well tonight.
I remember many years ago, a group of us helped friends when they were moving house. We managed to get a large wardrobe down the stairs and into the back of the van, but not without a lot of sweating and swearing. One of the couple who were moving decided the easiest way to move the clothes which had been in the wardrobe was to hang them all back up in the wardrobe. Sounds like a plan but turned into one of Baldrick's cunning plans when she stepped into the wardrobe to hang them up and smashed the floor out. She then decided she had never liked the wardrobe anyway and said to break it up.

My RTBC today is that we're back home after a long dash up to Lincs and back.
Absolute bliss.
