Good morning, one and all.  Welcome to Monday and the start of a new week.  It's taken me ages to get this started as my internet connection has been extremely flaky all weekend.  It's up at the the moment so fingers crossed.

I got round the yarn problem by using the other colours top and bottom.  I'd have preferred it to be all green but needs must and I think it looks fine.  There's the tiniest bit of the green left so it was very close to the bone.
Now I have to line it, which will not be a problem.  I think I've also worked out a doable way to line the other one too to include the top bits.

Yesterday wasn't quite as lazy  me-time as I thought it might be.
I decided to use freezer stuff to make savoury crumbles, a family favourite, for me, Beth and Alex for lunch, the bottoms being a beany mix for Beth and some turkey and veg for me and Alex, both left overs from last Christmas so ready to be used up.  I made a lot of topping so some went into the freezer - I just eyeball the amounts rather than using a recipe.  That took quite a while but was all done and ready for the oven by breakfast time.

I got the washing finished and all the ironing done which was a relief - I dislike having it hanging on nowadays.

It was lovely to catch up with Beth and Alex.  It's been a while since they came over which is my fault not asking them for lunch so must do better.  :-)

I was going over to Pick My Own this morning but decided not to as I still have both strawberries and raspberries left from last Thursday and the few things I want to get from the farm shop can quite easily wait.  I'll probably go on Thursday; the strawberries are easing off but all the raspberries, yellow raspberries and associated types such as loganberries, boysenberries, etc, are flourishing.  It won't be long before the plums start and the sweet corn looks very promising too.

Today is also circuits day, of course.  Chris is coming along again this week so that will be very nice.  I always end up feeling tired gut, at the same time, energised - if that makes sense.
Then I have to rush home because the lovely Sharon will be arriving to sort out my hair which seems to have grown very fast since the last time.  I'll be glad to get it done.

In between, it will be the usual houseworky stuff, as ever, and I might just possibly get the sewing machine out, you never know!!  😊
Today's supposed to be pleasant (it's good and sunny right now) so fingers crossed it lasts because rain is forecast for tomorrow.

Hoping you had a lovely weekend - take care and be happy.  xx
