And I haven't seen DD since! Once she finished work she headed off for the weekend at her boyfriend's. It's the last weekend she'll be doing this as he's heading back North with a new job, and the prospect of getting a house with DD. It's all very exciting for them.
So, just me and DH for the weekend. And DIY! I suggested it might be an idea to change the bath panel and get a new blind for the bathroom. So off we went to hunt for what we needed. And while DH was busy sorting the bathroom, I decided it was about time I cleaned my greenhouse, which meant emptying everything (including the dead plants from last year!) and getting the pressure washer out. It also meant that I then carried on and cleaned a bit more than just the greenhouse .... and decided to stop as it was too dark to see what I was doing! There's still more of the back garden to clean, but it's better than it was. So it was a well earned meal out on Saturday night, walking up to our local pub to try out their new menu.
We both had pizzas, which were really nice.
And today I've been playing around with some more ideas for my next craft fair, before taking Oscar for a walk this afternoon. We'd talked about heading up to the Lakes as we normally do, but DH needed to finish off the bathroom, and rather than ending up rushing later on, we decided to walk by the canal which isn't far from us. No driving involved at all.
It was a lovely walk, with the sun shining and not many people out - I even had to take both my coat and fleece off!
Even though we've lived here for nearly 16 years, I'm ashamed to say we haven't done this walk before. I don't know why. But it was lovely. Ok, so not the lakes and hills that we love, but it was so peaceful. A good, easy, 5 1/2 miles.
And then back home for a nice meal bubbling away in the slow cooker......
Time to face another week. And as DH goes away for work tomorrow (instead of Tuesday again), DD comes home.
