Good morning tooters. What a difference a day makes, yesterday quite hot & sunshine, today grey, rainy & cool’ish. It was about 13-14c when I got up & it had been raining from the early hours, supposed to reach 24c with the rain clearing this afternoon. That will be good as all my washing is on clothes horses in the garage at the moment, it will dry in there but will take a good 24hrs to do so. If I can get it outside for a couple of hours this afternoon, it’ll make a big difference. Third world problems though 😊.
All in the garden looks lovely & refreshed though. I was starting to think that my transplanted Crepe Myrtle was looking sad & droopy despite my care, but a good downpour has made the world of difference. I’ve decided that if it doesn’t survive I will get another & plant it in the same spot because I’ve realised that where I transplanted it to is the perfect spot to filter the afternoon summer sun that comes straight in my patio glass doors.
The picture is of the flowers of my lemon guava bush.
The sun is out now 😃 & the sky is clearing - I have jobs to do. Have a fabulous #Saturday everyone, enjoy your weekend 🌻. #Weather #Rain #Garden #HouseWork

Today's fruit cake making adventure was much less successful.
I only had two eggs, instead of the three in the recipe.
It tastes great, but it has fallen apart - it almost certainly needed the egg to hold it together.
At least I'm not entering any competitions😁

Good morning all

I've got the house to myself (& the cat) until mid afternoon, so lots of jobs will at least get thought about - I'm leaving the cat in charge of strategic planning.

Lots of Pink Floyd on Radio Caroline's top 15 this morning which has been excellent.

I'm reeling from the suggestion by a reply guy that Europe might not actually be a single country - who knew? /s

It's wet and very cold here, no sign of snow thankfully.

Right - I need to think about tidying and loo cleaning. And I've got an order for another cake!
So. Up and at 'em

Have a good snowless day (if that's your preference)

Wooden clothespins are one of the most useful things I've found for the household.

They're cheaper and better than chip-bag clips. They're freeze-resistant, so they're great for sealing partially empty bags of frozen fries, vegetables, etc..

If you have window AC units, clothespins are a great way to hold curtains in place around the intake and exhaust.

I'm sure there are lots of other possible uses. You could even use them to hang clothes! 🤣

I almost forgot: since they're metal and wood rather than plastic, they're also better for the environment.

When it comes to washing up the dishes, "soaking" is another word for "procrastination".

Yesterday me: "Tomorrow I am going to head to the gym, take down the recycling, and do the laundry."

I don't know who that guy was. Slow down yesterday me!

Having a pretty decent day of getting on with stuff. Including rewaxing these beeswax wraps!

I like that there is so much energy and life in this, I think I need the motivation today. Sometimes I feel like I'm struggling up out of a tar pit to clean my bathroom and dishes, the gravity pulling on my lazy bones is too strong. This one is like, the Sun is up and we are Alive so f__k you! Move it sucka

there are blood red and black colors, mostly lines, used to create a bunch of plant shapes that are all overlapping and standing straight up, they are not specific types of plants but more like plant motifs, strong dark lines and repetition of forms and shapes that contrast with a light background and a vibrant blue form that is probably representing a little stream or river

Why is #vacuuming a farce? Why, in a contest between a bit of white thread on a dark carpet and a #vacuum cleaner, would you do well to bet on the former? #housework

For the past several weeks, the Rabble have been sending me all the 'with Mama' memes and I think they're so adorable. So I made my own with Mama list on the kitchen blackboard.

Kid2 said to me, 'how do we claim the task?'

'Write your initial next to the job and then you can all take turns,' I suggested.

'Ooh, and then when we get to five completed jobs....'

'...you can do crimes with Mama,' I finished.

'I was going to say we could go to coffee but sure, go off, Mum.'

Our kitchen blackboard on which I've written the words: Let's do housework with Mama

Beneath are the tasks I want them to do: 
Washing up; hang out washing; clean up counter; clean table; clean stove; take out bins

"The family is a powerful and time-honoured institution in both contemporary and historical societies, but it isn't without its issues. Let's explore the development and impact of the modern nuclear family and how we can create and cast a more expansive web of kinship."—Andrewism

The huge advantage of being late with #housework for this week ... it's also counts for next week, since it was so recent.

It is amazing how much you can get done when you stop doing all the other things you need to do. This last week has been mainly house improvement jobs, but everything else has taken a back seat. I'm now massively behind on work.
