Office, office, office then home alone for four days this afternoon as OH is off to Spain for work so I am manning the homestead  :excited: .
 
I'm going to have lunch at my favourite cafe every day and sneak off to the launderette over the weekend to do a wash   :innocent:

And when does Wonderwoman arrive?  Oh no she is clearly already there!  :trophy:   Even Wonderwoman would need to close her laptop to get through that list.  Good luck!  At least you've got a holiday at the end of it.  :thumbsup:

Was going to go for a swim but still a bit under the weather with the "back to school" cold and the sun is shining so think I'll go and re-varnish my hen houses. Really want to get them done before the wet weather arrives  :raining: :roflanim: .
I hope the grey frergie is going well Goosepimple. Thats the best excuse I've ever heard for forgetting about your kids  ;D

Been to Lanark, met a load of TASers - some I already knew  :wave: :hug:, some I'd longed to meet  :-* :wave: and some I think I still didn't meet properly!  :wave: (no icon for peering into the distance), picked up  :pig: :pig: and another lovely thing from one (no icon will post pic in due course),  :&> :&> from another, bought  :sheep:  :sheep: :sheep: :sheep: (yes, girls this time! :excited:, 2 CM ewe lambs - just the cutest little things with the softest fleece  :love: and 2 Manx Loaghtan gimmers; lost out on the Icelandics but BH loved them too so we are plotting... :thinking:), home through yet more  :raining: , spent the evening getting everyone settled into their arrival accommodation and starting to get to know us  :love: while keeping an eye on the balloons along the wall - part of the 'cultural olympiad' apparently  ::) : actually, when you got up close they were rather lovely.


Apart from the wetting our newly-cut grass got  :gloomy:, a good day!   :sunshine:
