FFB, your holiday sounds lovely and very well planned. Your DS's will certainly not be able to complain that they haven't been "abroad . I'm glad work has been more peaceful with the boss away.
Enjoy your walk with your friend, L.Ann
Laura, welcome home! So glad you had a good time away, but IKWYM about being happy to be home. In my experience pots prefer to be watered with a watering can rather than the sprinkler, as that way you can make sure you get under the leaves and right I to the co post. And it gives you a better idea of how much water each pot has had.
Helia, that's a very busy and very social day!
Trissie, so glad you've had a wonderful time away with DH, and yourself managing to make real progress round the house with all the DKids are away. That town looks fascinating!
I'm sitting in my front garden, waiting for DH to arrive home. He *should* be arriving any time now, but one never knows with trains!
We had one of my favourite visiting priests for church this morning, and the service finished nearly, so I was able to have a good chat with friends before visiting DF E. She is feeling better than she was, but is frustrated that everything takes her so long. But we had a good chat over our coffee.
Back home, I put a quiche in the oven for my lunch (nor roast today.as DH is away, so I get a week off cooking!
