Very chilly here this morning too, with a stiff breeze.
Cleaned son’s bedroom windows and washed net curtains ,all dry with the  breeze and back at the windows.
Bathroom done to” bottoming “ Mum called it —- a really thorough deep clean .
Not sure when son will be back , as has been said a lot of traffic this weekend with new Uni students travelling .
I will get bacon ,sausages etc and also do a chicken curry , in case he wants to eat fairly soon after arriving but he usually likes to wait a good while so we will be covered for every eventuality!

A dog I have sponsored with DOGS TRUST has after nine years been rehomed.
I was told he could not be ,so I have sponsored him for about three years at I think £10 a month ,but I might be wrong there.Will have to look at my bank statements.
So I feel a bit miffed, and will re- direct my donation to another of the charities I support.
I was emotionally waylaid in Tesco when I started my support if this dog some years ago.
Maybe Blind Dogs for the Guides ,as Flash Harry’s daddy used to call it when a little boy!
Well off I go to the shops—- a free woman,able to plan my shopping to my best convenience ,not where son likes to park!
He really thinks he is helping. Bless Him  >:(

Hope all are well, and weather is kind.

I am going to transplant some tiny ferns that have seeded in my Cumberland green slate chippings ,I like ferns and have bare patches where I have brutalised the Dogwood .
Thanks fir the news re students, their travels, returning holidaymakers, etc, all of interest.
So off to the shops I go ,if I miss a bus I will walk otherwise get the bus ,as I still have the lounge to tidy .
Cheerio.
Viktoria.

Over the decades I've become really good at avoiding being scooped into donating to /supporting things like lost dogs, etc with regular payments, especially since with one Charity organisation the child of a friend said they got a commission on the punters they brought in! That rather shocked me.
It's been a busy week, zooming hither and thither for own an OH's medical appointments, and long 'phone calls with other family, worried about various things, pity I can't be to hand to support them.
Good news on my own account, from Heart specialist team. Made me feel a lot better.

It's good to read that new TY

I spent the week moving stuff to one corner of the room in a big clear out.  Yesterday son brought his two little tots to visit me and  I now see that I don't need to find a storing place for various items - the garbage bin will do nicely  :D

Yes good news T.Y.
I am pleased for you.

Son phoned ,not back today.
I knew he wouldn’t be ,had set too high a target.
Kyra knew where the clogs should go,pointed to her feet, loved them and the noise they made but were taken off her as they really are a bit dangerous ,no flexibility at all and  her little shoes are so soft by comparison.

Flash Harry a bit unwell, not sure what it is.

Kyra lets you do the work , not as much chatter as from F.H at this age.
However he went to Nursery .
That will alter I am sure, she does attend a toddlers’ playgroup at the Church.

Nearly time for the Ireland v Tonga Rugby match.Kick off at 8-00.
Wales v Portugal was a bit lacklustre .

Cheerio.
