Simple days

We didn't catch a single mouse last night - not even a whisker!  Will have to put the traps out again tonight - we cleared them away during the day as I didn't want any toes caught in the traps, since they are around the kitchen kick boards.  The cat has been in and had a good sniff around, but didn't give us any indication as to where the lodger might be......

I have had quite another lazy day, mooching around the internet this morning whilst the rain poured down outside.  I was quite disappointed not to be able to get out in the garden but then the inner gardener in me decided that I shouldn't be miserable about the potatoes and beans getting a good watering.  I did manage to get two loads of washing done, but this was about the most energetic thing I did all day.  I helped the FH with a puzzle for a while this afternoon.

The girls are planning a bike ride tomorrow which I estimate will take them a couple of hours, and I have a service to take first thing.  Then I am planning on cooking lamb shanks for a lovely Sunday tea - they should have cost a small fortune but I found them in the yellow-sticker section at about half price, so I am really looking forward to that.
