How is everyone tonight?  @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Shaz51 @outlander @Smc @soul @Anony18

Big day today in the yard, haven't even scratched the surface of what needs to be done but looking good already. 

Was nice sitting and watching the fire at the end of the day, somthing therapeutic about watching a fire at night.

My MIL lives next door, but that's ok cus she's not too bad. M&D asked if it was ok b4 they bought the place. Their help has been invaluable over the past 10 years.

I'm glad to hear it @Determined .... ❤️

I think Mr Darcy is glad his MIL lives interstate, a friend describes her as a "tough old broad" and I am afraid I take after her.
My MIL passed away over 20 years ago.

You've had a productive day @Determined. Did the kids help you? I'm impressed with your Darling's bike ride. Do you ride too? I used to have a bike. Am thinking about getting one again. 

I did get something achieved today besides the washing. I bought an Ikea bookcase and assembled it. Now to fill it up. Have to cull my books. I did put up an ad but haven't had a lot of takers. Enjoying a second glass of wine at the moment. 

Just realised the photo makes the bookcase look really wonky. I can assure you it's not.

Hi @soul how are you tonight?

Unfortunately very little help from the children, was hoping they could pick up sticks for me so I could mow. Unfortunately even the promise of fire would not get them out with me. Expected me to do all the work then vome enjoy the fire. 

I have done some riding, had a goal of 100km per week for this year, haven't even done 100k all year as I have been too drained with all that has been going on at home 😔 

Great that you have achieved somthing, a sense of achievement can be the best medicine sometimes.

Added note, 

My darling lost over 20kg through her bike riding last year. I never considered her weight to be a problem but she looks great for it 😆
