Stuck in doors coz of the drizzle so no allotment at the moment.
But later on I'll be scrubbing floors! before I give them the 1st coat of varnish. But I do need to  remember to take everying I need with me so I don't have to cross a drying floor just to get the door keys or summat! just have to get the energy thing going 1st  :D

I wanted to do some much needed weeding on the plot but it's far too wet!
So I'm thinking about doing some things around the home and need to look at some paperwork.
Meanwhile I'm drinking a cup of tea and on here!

Cat woke us up crying this morning, thought it wanted food, but it did a massive poo on the bedroom carpet, so I am scrubbing.  He has never done that before, think his brain is going as he is getting old, or perhaps he was telling us about the rain.  Then I am going to the bank to bank the cash from the tennis club, and also look for a golden wedding anniversary present and a few birthday cards.  Then if it stops raining may walk home via the allotment and pick a few runner beans.  Might have a go at making courgette soup, have been leaving them on neighbours door steps and haven't had any returned yet !!!   ;D ;D

Stuck in the house with the kids who have gone temporarily deaf. Sometimes i feel that iam banding my head against a wall, can't even throw them in the garden as it's raining again. I am still wondering when we are going to get this heat wave we where promised :-[

I'm cleaning out the attic - or at least going to attempt to start  :o   Then if time permits and I manage to escape from the attic today, I am hoping to pot on some of the plants in the greenhouse. I am just waiting for the mind and body to synchronise at the moment - the mind is willing, the body keeps saying another half hour please  ;D

Got our daughter Sallyand partner coming today. have already got the courgettes on the side ready for them. ;D. taking them to the plot this afternoon if the weathers ok to get them some veg to take home with them. Have a load of stuff in the freezer that they could have but they only have a wee one. Must talk them into getting another one but bigger. Sowed some delphinium seeds that I collected on Saturday
