Thanks For that Pat. I know it's a bit like asking you how to look after a weed but you're our expert in all things Aussie. I hope it's just in shock from the transfer. Nighty night.
Hello been shopping all day but did include g/c and B&Q , just having a coffe at moment
Coffee machines , bought a Bosch Tassimo machine last year and it is brilliant , still do filter coffee and instant at the allotment but do not like decaf
Been a busy day today, can't remember if I posted this morning an haven't looked back yet.
Family coming tomorrow, 2 sons, 1 daughter with OHs, 6 children and 2 nieces. Staying for 2 nights, then other daughter and 3 sons coming next week.
Did a mammouth shop this morning. Spent the afternoon cleaning bedrooms and bathrooms and making beds.
Not a good time for us, tomorrow night we are booked to see Shakespeare's "Comedy of Errors". We were going to do the tourist thing, explore and stay in a B&B, but had to cancel that bit. Going to the play though, paid and booked ages ago. Leaving the children and grandchildren a load of food in the fridge.
Tomorrow night we had been invited to a restaurant with friends, partly so that we could meet a friend's new man (she left her husband some years ago). I've already met him, OH hasn't. So as the family are here OH will have to go without me.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thank you to those who continue to keep my family in their thoughts, there's been no change today, but we hope things will improve in the next few days.
It seems the weather has spurred everyone on into doing housework! I've spent another day tackling the wardrobes in our bedroom. My husband owns more clothes than I do, I think he must have 50 t-shirts at least! Reached a total of 14 bin bags including yesterday's. 6 went to a centre that send clothes abroad to those in need, two to a local charity and the rest was rubbish or clothing/blankets I didn't feel could be sent on somewhere else.
My husband has come home from his business trip a day early, which was a lovely surprise. He was very impressed by my big decluttering session.
I must have a bedroom declutter before the new bed comes. It does however have four storage drawers which we never had before...
We had a new visitor today. A green woodpecker. Ist time visitor. We have had a greater spotted woodpecker for some time, but not the green. Not a brilliant photo. The blackbird sunbathes by the hedge.
I've removed a built in cupboard between the freezer and the cooker to make access easier for the delivery. Yuk! Tried all the fancy stuff with explosive names etc. The only thing that worked was the paste stuff that used to be called Jif. Honour is restored and they can put a clean fridge freezer on the tip.

Whose b***dy idea was it to paint jasmine white over olive green.
Oh that would be mine
Have I mentioned I hate decorating.
Well that's the heating on ready for relaxing on the sofa tonight.
Yvie
double or triple the work.
Muddle-up, Thankfully not as wet in the S.West......once the Southerners have their water butts full they can send the dry weather northwards

What a great visitor fidget!
It sounds like we've all been very industrious today.
I'm a child of the 80s, it'll always be jif and opal fruits....not whatever the cool kids are calling them these days!
and marathons and a mars a day helped us work rest and play and Guinness was good for us
