So, I arrived - in the middle of the hit under a beam I am about 10 inches away from the roof. Not under a beam it’s about 14 inches. I am 5 foot 6!

My brother has a shepherds' hut in his garden (more of a field really - he lives on the Yorkshire moors) and he uses it as his home office. He's 6 foot or 6,1 I think and admittedly he'll be sitting down most of the time but I don't think it causes him any problems. I will let you know the head clearance!

It’s Friday indeed - I’d forgotten! This week has flown by. It’s been a mixture of work and home jobs with lots of reading thrown in. My kitchen cupboards are now beautifully clean inside! I’m going away this weekend to sleep in a shepherds’ hut and do some visits to places. Consequently am a little stressed at the moment as I so rarely go away but it will be lovely. Congratulations to granddaughter on her results! I have GCSEs next week!

Not just you Sunnyday although given the number of times I discover a tissue after the wash when I’m convinced that I checked the pockets I sometimes think there is a little elf hiding in there! It’s very humid here and the thunder was lovely but I don’t think it helped. I got engrossed in a book over breakfast and as one of the characters was making blondies I decided I ended to as well. I’m just cooling down a little before embarking on the things that were actually on my TDL for today!

Just popping in to say that the foccacia didn't work out but if anyone's looking for house building materials give me a call! On a slightly more positive note I picked up my bistro set so will be eating breakfast outside tomorrow morning hopefully and I have the dough for some honey and tahini cookies chilling in the fridge!

Good morning! Lovely and sunny here at the moment. I have had a gentle start to the day with some reading and general pootling. I'm going to have a go at some foccacia in a moment as it's 'clear the fridge' day on my menu plan and looking at what's in there I think it will be roast veg and pasta and I think foccacia might be a good accomaniment. I have ordered a 'bistro set' for my garden which I need to collect some time this weekend, I haven't had anything proper to sit on out there for ages and am hoping it will both be lovely for early morning tea and inspire me to do a bit more work out there. I am feeling clearer headed and more awake than I have for a few days (I think my new inhaler kicked in) so am hoping to do a little work. I have just finished a sock bar the sewing up so need to make the second of the pair.

Easy stuff! My brain can't cope with much at the moment plus I fall asleep so quickly that I can't do complicated. So, mostly Trisha Ashley/Heidi Swain type books. I've also been reading some Agatha Christies that I haven't read before (And then there were none - I saw a play of it earlier in the the year and really enjoyed it so wanted to read the book - very sinister). I have been reading some Patricia Wentworth 'Miss Silver' books - golden age of crime. I have also recently loved the Thursday Murder Club books and a re-read of Tracy Chevalier's 'A single thread' - I love her books. I've done several free Kindle books too. I loved The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams which was an audiobook. I'm a bit headachey today - sore neck and I'm going to mum and dad's for tea so am just chilling! Enjoy your trips out!

Oh I am doing! I’ve read 4 books, knitted half a pair of socks, cooked proper food every day and slept a ridiculous amount - there have only been 2 days when I haven’t had a nap in the middle of the day. I have done a little work and a part of my brain is stressing about not getting everything I need to done but I am managing to ignore it fairly well! Currently contemplating some baking for later on today…

Good morning! My nephew dog went home yesterday evening. It has been a very relaxed week of a little therapeutic sorting out in school, lots of walking outside and LOTS of sleeping. Today I feel a little like I’m rising out of the fug of end of term tiredness. I’ve done a quick walk round the block and 15 minutes tidying in the garden. Now I’m about to sit down for a little gentle sock knitting and reading. After that - who knows! Have a lovely weekend everyone.

-
Nothing like a crafty sort out. I’m hoping to do that this summer.
-
Ooh! I live a granny square - what colours are you using?
-
First socks of the summer finished! This is some hand-dyed yarn my sister gave me for Christmas - the colour way is called ‘Stormy rainbow!’
-
I need to arrange it. He’s with my mum and dad at the moment. I’m thinking maybe Monday afternoon. Partly because it’s now 12.15 and I have still done nothing but lie on the sofa drifting in and out of sleep.

Made it! We had a gentle 'staff do' to end the year last night and so far today I have eaten, read, knitted socks and watched cosy TV. My plan for this weekend is to try and restore order to my house ready for dog sitting (I think it would be a health hazard to any dog at the moment!). After that I want to start having a bit of a think about how to manage next year - health, workload etc. I need a bit of a summer reset!
-
I just had cheese - it felt like the easiest option for tea. I love to cook usually but as each term goes on I find myself going for minimal effort things more and more - bowl of cereal for lunch! I work on the basis that eating something is better than eating nothing!
-
When I dog sat a couple of years ago I found myself singing to her. I love to sing and love music but am absolutely not a singing around the house kind of person! As for Mr S... maybe you should try talking to him like that!😉 PS. Have just woken up from a 2 hour nap! I can currently string a sentence together, jacket potato is in the oven. It looks like a thunderstorm is in the sky.

'Young Froglet' is done in - am just a rambling, twitching, incoherent mess! (there may be some who wouldn't notice anything different from normal though). With that in mind I honestly can't tell you anything about this weekend coming, or the week just gone! Sunnyday - I am so glad you are in a singing group. I was in one a few years ago and I loved it - was the highlight of my week, very relaxed, no pressure just good fun and I always felt better afterwards, no matter how grumpy I'd been at the start. Unfortunately the conductor left, a new one joined and the 'tone' of the evenings changed. I heard recently though that the 'new' conductor has moved on so I may try again.

It’s been well dressing in my mum and dad’s village so have been catching up with family. I did have an accidental floor nap for 20 minutes.
-
Everyone is still in one piece! Nursery stay and play for an hour then home to bed!
-
Year 2 sleepover tonight so I’m literally sleeping at school. Other than that… 10 days…
-
I’m catching up tonight! I’m enjoying it but honestly can’t remember much about the other series! I have lots of crochet projects plan for this summer. I didn’t even realise that football had happened until my class were all talking about it today!
-
So far knitting wise I’ve only ever made socks!
