The Potting Shed

Well that's that - I'm officially a lady of leisure now! We went out for dinner last night, after a swift pint with the chaps after work, and now I don't know what to do with myself! I've taken the dogs for a longer-than-normal walk but I twisted my back so I can't get on with the hundreds of things that need to be done in the house. Hey ho - I better have a day lazing around Laughing

Have a great day everyone Very Happy

Give it a few days & you will wonder how you had time to go to work Razz

Lizzie, sorry to hear about your back Sad

A lady of leisure, you will wish you never said that Wink

Enjoy your time, what do you think you will do?

Are you at piece with no longer working, I just wondered as it wasn't your choice to finish at this point in your life? Thinking of you over the next few weeks while you adjust to your new life. xx

I am shattered, my tummy is gurgerly (sp) and it's uncomfortable but nothing really bad but I know I have a tummy iykwim Confused

Jacky, I *think* I'm happy with it, although there were tears yesterday. It just feels a bit odd at the moment, but I'm sure I'll adjust. I expect I'll be looking for another job in the fullness of time...

I'm sure your dogs will well pleased to have you at home Lizzie and you could learn a new craft or crafts!

Just off to visit parents, Mother needs help with Photoshop and at 78 she's not the easiest person to help. However, I applaud her for even attempting these things at her age! Laughing

To be honest Kathy, I think I'm disturbing their day - Millie keeps coming up and peering at me - "What exactly do you think you're doing here at this time of day?" Smile

We had a long walk this morning though, so Penny's been asleep all day!

Well done your mother I say - mine wouldn't even know how to switch a computer on and refuses point blank to us the mobile ... and don't get me started on Dad Rolling Eyes

I love them to bits but sometimes ...

I'm sure they feel the same about me!

our dogs didn't like it when we were home on a day we shouldn't be...it interrupted their routine you see .....good luck my dear and enjoy a few days leisure while you can

at half past 3 this morning after i had had to get out of bed to let lucy the greyhound out (it was raining last night so she obviously decided it was the right time for her ablutions) i was lying there in my bed wide awake and the twist in the pirate plot came to me...it was a revelation

so as it was intemittent rain more or less all day, i sat at my 'pooter and typed away for several hours and worked my way through the part of the plot i have been stuck on for a week or two....

i also managed to write the article for the british spotted pony society, about 1200 words about what has been going on here since easter and about the 3 spotties we have here on the farm...

i shall leave it now for a week or so and then look at it again to see what i need to change and then send it off before the end of the month.....

mr nanny was out all day- till about 3 anyway and then we had some shopping to do.....

quite chilly tonight but i have the woodburner going so not so bad in here...i am striving to use less coal this year...i use big woodburner briquettes and mix wood on top but last year i think i erred on the side of caution with the briquettes and it got a bit pricey so this year i am attempting to use no more than 3 and make up the rest with well seasoned wood, i have a fair amount tucked away that is over a year old so it might work....
