How boring is this? Got SOME of the gutter guard done. Shame it's necessary as it is about the worst job I've ever undertaken. :(

Drank way too much champagne. Sunday afternoon parties always seem such a good idea - but not so much on a Monday morning :blink:

Bring them back here here, tie loads of sponges to them and they can roll down my block, be one way of soaking up the rain. :rofl:

I emptied the dehumidifier a lot :blink:

Saturday am -shopping and cleaning the house in preparation for teenagers descending for DD's birthday sleepover. Saturday pm, slaving over a hot stove feeding said teenagers: two had gluten intolerance, two were dairy intolerant, so made quite a few different things. They explored what things tased best dipped in dark chocolate, and carrots proved to be quite a favourite when the strawberries ran out!
Sunday- cleaning up aftermath, feeding teenagers- one of whom is still here at 5:15 when they were all supposed to have gone by 12 noon.
Tonight- provided said teen has gone home- large glass of wine and keep OH occupied and happy.:fingerscrossed:

Yesterday morning I planted some new tomatoes, capsicum, red onions and dill to replace some of the finished crops in my garden bed. Then cleaned the pool and weeded the front lawn. By lunchtime when I went in the house I could barely move my neck or left arm they're so burnt. Baked a loaf of fruit and nut bread for the family and BBQ'd salmon steaks & potatoes for dinner.

Today is a clothing-optional day so I'm sitting in a silk nightgown because it's the only thing I own that doesn't hurt my back or arms. This morning I went for a 30 minute run on the treadmill then made curtains for our bedroom so we can finally after 18 months in this house get rid of the crap vertical blinds in there. This afternoon will be making meatballs and putting together the menu for the coming week before doing my online shop at Coles. Tonight will be a nice long swim before bed.
