Hello everyone!

FFB, today I had roast beef for lunch out, and DH had steak and kidney pie. The vegetables were roast potatoes, carrots,. cabbage,.peas and cauliflower cheese. I also had Yorkshire pudding and gravy. We didn't have dessert.

Trissie, all your canned goodies sound delicious! I'm sorry about all the family drama.

Harriet, I'm glad.you enjoyed today's architect!

KitKat, Ikwym about people not listening to the word "no". Freddie really does not like dogs especially at the vet. I have lost count of the number of times I've had to tell people with a curious dog who is getting his nose too close for comfort to Fred's carrier, and well within swiping range, that Freddie doesn't like dogs, only to be told that it's ok, as the dog in question is very good with cats!

L.Ann, Little Bit is growing up quickly! How sweet of her to be potassium monitor!

Helia, I'm sorry your birthday hasn't been acknowledged. Sending you some flowers to make up a tiny bit.

Dogged, you're right, being invisible is definitely a super power, and it's also very freeing. I've also found it's accompanied by a tendency to be less tolerant than previously of other people's nonsense! ( Or maybe that's just me!)

Church was very good - our curate was ordained priest yesterday, so conducted her first communion service today. The coffee problem I'm sorted itself out - SV offered to help out - so thoughtful of her. DF E was in good spirits, and DH and I had a nice lunch out. I had a very peaceful afternoon, I folded laundry and PA, weighed out the Girls' food for the week, and out up my supplements for the week. And then I had some time reading on the bed. I've been out in the garden this evening, and it's much cooler!

The fact that your outgoing DH is also feeling overwhelmed by all of the socializing says a LOT, helia. It's good that he is on the same page as you, with plans to cut things back a bit.
I can relate competition for the washing machine and dryer, living in an apartment building. The irony is that M. is trying to be a considerate tenant and cleaning up after herself and her guests--right when you need the machine.

That sounds like a solid plan that takes care of the dchildren but doesn't block you from things that you need to get done, L.Ann.

I hope that happens soon for your DMIL, trissie, so that you can all breath a sigh of relief that she is being cared for and that it doesn't all fall on your DH. (and you to pick up the slack)

That sounds like an awesome restaurant, Kittykatt.
LOL, you are right about losing the ability to suffer fools gladly, Kittykatt. Maybe the middle aged cloak of invisibility is nature's way of protecting fools from us off.
Congratulations to your curate!
