Popping in late! I slept through my alarm and woke up at 7:30 when I needed to be otd at 7:40 for my session with the personal trainer. I was late - but he's really chill.

That is a beautiful haunting song, trissie. I wasn't sure where the ad was going, but it was very sweet.
Enjoy reading Ninja Bunny, L Ann. :)
Congratulations on retirement, CL! I can see how that would be sad too. I hope your legacy there will continue through the remaining teachers. Knowing you, you'll keep busy as ever.
I had to google McCain chips, Doggedly. Looks like they're a brand of frozen "french fries" here?
Kitty, I also liked those bands as a teen - although I couldn't have named "Madness". :D I still enjoy the Police - and Sting.

Hello, everyone!

Congratulations on your retirement, CL!

I hope you both enjoyed Ninja Bunny, L.Ann! :D

We've had sun all day today, Trissie. It's not been that hot, but pleasant to sit in the sun.

Yikes on oversleeping, Helian, but WTG still managing to see your trainer.

It's been a good day. Despite Freddie insisting on a longer walk (somehow he just knows when I need to leave early! :lol: ) I managed to leave early, and dropped off my flapjack for the Y , posted the birthday card to DF HT and hoovered the car before church. The service was very renewing, and lunch at the College went ok. (There were only three of us in the end. I hate to say it, but this year's intake of students don't seem to be nearly as mature as last year's.)

I had a successful appointment at the podiatrist - we "clicked" right away, so that's good. Traffic was light when I drove home, so I had time.to sit in my garden before Waitrose delivered.

The groceries have been PA, everyone has been fed, and Matilda is now asleep on my lap.

We are emptying the gross water logged bug ridden sand, scrubbing the sandbox and refilling it with new sand, helian. It has a lid but it doesn’t keep everything dry and I wasn’t good about opening it after the rain and letting it dry out. The best gift though for a 3 going on 4 year old is a water table. A friend gave me an old one two weeks ago and she wants to play with it every hour she is home.

Little Bit is currently hanging out with DD32 in her room. DD32 rolled her eyes as LIttle Bit announced that was her next activity. :lol:
