Good morning/ good afternoon, Smilelee and L Ann!
Smilelee, as I find BIL's visits very, very difficult, this time I have hit on the idea of "rewarding" myself to stay nice, smiling and agreeable and calm and helpful throughout BIL's visit (the kind of thing "normal" people would do as a matter of course

). So, as one of my favourite shops is currently having a very good sale, I picked out a pretty summer cardigan as my "bribe" and put it in my online shopping basket. However, preliminary signs for this weekend (the pie episode especially, but also the photos - I have told DH his school photos *might* be in the loft in one of the boxes labelled "photos" and if he will get the boxes down, I will go through them. I don't go up in the loft, and it would mean a couple of boxes out of there

) are indicating that the stakes are going to need to be higher! So I'll have another look online and possibly add a summer top, or even a skirt - we'll see what (if anything!) catches my eye.
I hope the errands are successful, L.Ann, and you find something nice that's reduced at Kohl's.
I'm finally back from church. On my way, MQ rang me (Fortunately I managed to get speaker phone to work!

) to say she had had a very difficult day yesterday, and hadn't been able to pick up a cake or card for G, who celebrates her 100th birthday this weekend! I was stuck in traffic at the time, but it wasn't too bad, so when I pulled into the churchyard I still had plenty of time to pick up a very nice cake from M&S Foodhall, and a card with 100 on it from the card shop opposite (for obvious reasons, there isn't nearly so much choice for a card saying 100, as there is for a card saying 70 or even 80!)
The service was very good, and we had a lovely celebration from G afterwards, and everyone had signed the card. I had a long chat with DF PM afterwards, and she had had a very nice birthday lunch last Sunday.
This afternoon is sunny, but not so warm.as it has been, and the wind is chilly. Still, I think I'll make the most of it and power wash the car. I haven't been upstairs yet to see if there are any boxes of photos awaiting my attention,

bit of there are, they can wait until it's dark.
