Bin day

Now I’m a very intelligent woman (or so I’ve been told), but I’m still baffled by which bin goes out each week. Seems I’m not alone in this as I frequently look out and see a selection of bins out around the close. Today was even more confusing as they were all collected!

Got a letter to say they’re changing the weeks that bins are collected. Clearly the bin men got a bit overwhelmed by it all as I got back to find my bins scattered over the driveway. I nearly drove over the food waste bin.

Made me giggle as I had to do some interesting manoeuvres onto the driveway. Still not sure what bin goes out next week. Will cross that bridge next Sunday…

Pease Pottage

Today has been a long day. 260 mile round trip to West Sussex. I’m off to a conference next week and needed to handover some stuff as I’m not doing the set up.

It meant meeting in the services at Pease Pottage. What a cracking name for a village! I kinda felt like a spy. Only less secretive…

As it’s not far from my parents, I did a surprise flying visit to see them. They were very shocked to see me. But my surprise was a welcome one.

Mother’s Day

This card made me giggle. Spoke to my Mum earlier. She’s recovering in a nursing home while her mobility improves. She’s making good progress so hoping she’s home soon.

I spent today with my ‘children’. Hugo, Dodo and I pottered around the house and garden. Then I went for a lovely hack with Buddy.

I may not be a conventional Mother. But I love my little boys.

Happy Mother’s Day one and all.

Duvet day

Today I did something that I rarely do. And something I haven’t done for ages. I had a duvet day! The kittens and I barely left the sofa and I’m still in my PJs.

Watched the Strictly final from last night (and was in floods by the end). It’s been a brilliant series. Gutted for AJ. Thrilled for Rose. But would have been happy with John winning too.

Then it’s been full on Equestrian. Watched the coverage from The London Horse Show. First last night’s coverage and then the World Cup. Very inspired to get back out jumping again.

Today has been a good day! Sometimes you need to stop. After all, even birds have to rest.
