Tidy

Mr B finds it hard to throw anything out. But this made me smile this morning - there'll be no wasting of whisky around here (he is finishing off last night's cling filmed whisky as I type).

Mist this morning gave way to a glorious day - 20-odd degrees. A quick 'urgent' contract review first thing, then a big (but unsuccessful) attic search for the good hair straighteners (TallGirl wanted them). Found lots of other cool stuff though, including some handy props for CarbBoy's medieval bedroom theme.

Long cheesy lunch, then some gardening until the heat drove me into the shade to call my Mam. Mr B barbecued in all the weather - it went from sun to hail to torrential rain in the time between the coals being lit and the food finally going on (he protected the coals with a marble tile).

One interesting tidbit that came up during dinner is that TallGirl's European Section teacher says they should watch Peaky Blinders as homework for next year!

Today would have been a perfectly adequate Mothers Day, as it happens, but now that my kids are French, I get another bite at the cherry. In cherry season, in fact.
