Plans for today (2025)

[Lullabelle]

Not much, have a tummy bug and feel really quite rough

I got the tiller out from the barn up the hill and brought it down to the garden. I should till it later as the soil is just drying out now. I want the birds to have ample opportunity to eat the grubs!

Felt rough for most of the day so am doing as little as possible. Have made some swede chips and coated them in honey n wholegrain mustard so I’m hoping for a semi healthy chip hit in about 20 mins or so.

Everyone’s gone to Bristol to watch the rugby (Bristol v Exeter) so I have a nice quiet house to myself

Got some running around to do today. Pick up the boys from the station and have three click n collects for hardware things I should have picked up days ago.

Will be basing as much activity as possible from home over the coming days as my ol’ girls heart is giving up and she’s stopped eating. She’s just short of 13 years old and has been fit as a fiddle until the last few weeks, always very puppy like in her energy and behaviour. She always looked like she’d go on forever.
Bichon Frise can live to 16 but 12-14 is more common. Doesn’t seem to make it any easier.

Drain the truck radiator, flush it, refill it. Maybe cut the grass/weeds and definitely take the tiller back up to the barn. Tilled yesterday and not a single bird pulling grubs out of the soil; that's a good thing!

We’re going to run a bunch of errands, and then were going to my brother and SIL’s place for dinner to celebrate bro’s recent birthday. I’m curious what food he’s chosen for his birthday dinner.

A bit of gardening this morning; just tidying up leaves and stuff.
About 1.30 I'm going to my favourite artisan beer pub for a couple of IPAs. Sunday is pizza day 2 for the price of 1, so lunch is also sorted out.

I went into Dunelm and ordered some pre-made cabinets (yay, no flat pack).

So between now and friday I need to clear the decks in here, exterminate a few dust bunnies and re-arrange table, sofa's etc so the delivery guys can dump the boxed stuff very close to where I will put them.
One busy week coming right up

Out of the shower and getting dressed shortly. Leaving for work around 4 probably. That's about the closest thing to a concrete plan I have made in quite awhile!

This room is truly not photogenic (complete mess and needs decorators) how bout I show you the cabinets pics off the shop site
I've ordered 2 sideboards for diff parts of the room. This room is about 20 foot long so plenty of space. The top corners rounded a bit which is great, I seem to have a knack for finding corners and getting bruised - I had them banished from my kitchen!

While you’re there can you pick up my storage boxes? I didn’t manage it today and they’ve emailed saying I’ve got two days left or they’ll send ‘em back. Thanks

The local shop has the worst placement, I went in once in a weekday afternoon - no traffic issues, on the entry or nearby road.
Came out and was queued for 5-10 mins before I even turned out onto the main road (which was itself rammed with cars).
I can pick them up next weekend ... oh wait - that's not gonna work for you!

There's that whole best laid plans thing... The drain plug on the radiator didn't drain and unclipping the bottom hose would've been a royal mess so I put my pump in the overflow tank and pumped out what I could. Refilled that and now I'll drive it 100 miles and do it again until I've changed out the majority of the fluid. Started cutting the grass and about 20 min. from done the mower died. Towed it back up the hill and then it started again and finished the grass.

I'm down with a 99 proof salted caramel flavored whiskey right now and the IP is making dinner. Whew... Pippi is dreaming of bratwurst after Ishowed her the package.
