Morning all: Back into the world of the living today, after a long weekend. I bet I will be forgetting what day it is later in the week.

Back at work Ron. Got a massive SharePoint tech project I've been putting off until it is quiet in the college. Very long, very meticulous and very boring. I am trying to concentrate but already flagging. I shall pop out for 10 minutes in the garden with a cuppa.

Between showers at the moment. I am getting bored with this dull, cold weather. Today I actually got my iron and ironing board out and did a little bit of ironing. I have altered a dress and needed to iron the seams. It is so long since I ironed anything, I can't remember ever doing it.

I ironed 5 dozen handkerchiefs the other day. Almost an annual event.
My cleaners have been and the house is nice and fresh as my ma in law used to say. I have to take a sample into the medical centre ready for Thursday's appointment, but I forgot to do it last week and the locum who's drawn the short straw might well be mystified if the results aren't back, so I'm in two minds about cancelling and rebooking to see the Doctor who asked me to do another to confirm or deny the result of the previous one. I think freeing up the appointment for someone else whose need may be greater than mine would be more public spirited.
I'd rather go back to bed. Still weak after Covid vaccination so stocking up on supplies might be a Good Idea.

I am trying to get better and no longer iron tea towels and fitted sheets and things. Nothing better than a match on radio on Sat or Sun and a pile or ironing and peace and quiet. I like the folding to.

Morning all: Very mild start to the day, but more rain on the way they say. WE had Jersey royals yesterday but they weren't as nice as they used to be.

I find that about so many foods, Ron. Fruit and veg, that used to take it's time to grow, are much more tasty. My cleaning lady will be here soon. She and I have become friends, which I know isn't ideal when someone works for you, but she is lovely and we have much in common.

Home grown and freshly picked is so delicious.

There's a small farm by us and he has his own new potatoes in the summer, white as snow and delicious. I think they should be out soon.

Morning all: Another mild start to the day and yet another wet one. They are saying next week will be dry and much warmer, bring it on I say.

Back from very rainy Spain. It bucketed down every day except the day we caught the ferry home. Even then, it was still jumper and coat stuff. All my tops, dresses etc stayed in the case but I did something I've never done in my life - got the hotel to wash and iron two long sleeve blouses. I'd brought one jumper which I wore with them the whole time. We did visit some great places though, and my waistline is bigger 🍷😋 Miserable though in't it. Apparently due to the fact it's been warm all through winter (not even frosts to speak of) and warm clouds can hold more moisture... Does knowing that help? Not really. Nice to read your back catalogues today, good people 😁

What a shame Maris. You say to yourself, well we'll still go and see what we wanted to but you get cold and damp and then miserable and you end up in cafes watching the rain out of the window.
