The lavender sachets have been a good call I realized also my humidifier had a diffuser, so I've been putting a few drops in and letting it work its way into my office space. I don't run it often on account I live by water, but yeah...

@NIAMH, let us know how it goes with the dogs, won't you.

I'm @Niamh. poor old NIAMH will have a thousand notifications if she ever comes back


Unfortunately, we didn't really gel with either dog Maybe it's a bit too soon after Pips died

Oh dear... That was a stupid mistake. Abject apologies x

I'm sure they'll both find lovely homes and you'll eventually find your perfect dog.

Yeah, I think we'll just have a pet break for a while

Awww. But best not to just get one for the sake of it if you didn’t gel. Maybe later down the line you’ll find the right dog.

Understandable. You’ll know when you find the right time and dog.

I think we jumped the gun a bit, Pips only died a few weeks ago, i suppose its trying to fill that space in one way but you can't just replace a dog either. Just a bit more time I think

….ahhhhh, probably a bit of mixed emotions in a little disappointment but absolutely knowing that it’s just not the right time, right now…when it’s right, eh……

Builder''s merchant to price up materials to have my garage roof replaced. My lovely builder is fitting me in so I said I'd buy the stuff so they just have to arrive and do it.

Called in to Morrisons and got thoroughly depressed looking at all the lovely plants they've allowed to become parched and die.

Just came back from holiday and as per custom I take the day after holiday off work. Going straight back to work after a break is diabolical!

At least you’ve missed Monday! That’s the worst day after holiday.

…awwwww…but at least it feels diabolical having had a lovely break in Spain…that’s a much better diabolical than not having had that…?….

Yes but I'd rather not go to work at all anymore and just have money pouring in from somewhere

Took care of the lawn finally after having been down for several days. Got front done yesterday and back is done now. More destruction of weeds (what was left) has occurred and I watered my runners.

It's dry enough the back corner of my backyard that hasn't filled in yet and it's very dusty just stepping through it.. so my black lab likes to lay under the tree and she came into the house earlier and spooked me at first, because I only saw dust on her head and I thought she got hurt. Then saw one side of her was dusted white which was kinda funny.

……yeah I get that also…but I do think that the balances of things that we don’t enjoy so much…?…add to the joy/appreciation that things like your Spain holiday gave you…if you had money pouring in it might not all have the same meaning…anyway, I’m so happy that you loved it……

…(…I should have put this in the garden thread…)…I need to do some lawn work as well because it’s still a bit patchy in places from when we seeded but it’s quite stormy and wild atm so not a good time right now…I’ve got some winter coats/covers for the olive trees so I’ll look at when to wrap them up as well and just generally resting the garden for the winter…there isn’t loads to do…I have Jasmine which is vivid red in the winter and turning green for the summer, it’s just in the midst of turning back to red right now and looking quite stunning……

Practiced some Welsh before my class tonight. It’s lovely here and was going to go to the park with my lunch then come back and take a nap before class in Cardiff, but I’ve been hanging around for the boiler man since 11.30 and still not here.
