Grandkids staying, I’m running on auto-pilot. We’ve made fudge, pavlova & prepped Yorkshire puddings for later. Later they will return to the mothership . How can 2 kids make such a mess !

3/4 yrs ago had cataracts done. Now glasses for reading only but life was def easier with full time glasses. Now spend half my life looking for readers. Drives husband crazy. Tried fancy attachment to glasses but gets caught in haircuts earrings etc !!

2 wks of ready meals, takeaways & eating rubbish,talked husband through Salmon with crushed new potatoes, tenderstem broccoli, mustard & Parmesan sauce. He got very stressed, kitchen like a bomb site but we’ve survived. Said plumbing in washing machine last week more enjoyable !

Omg the joys of bungalow living. Out of shower into bedroom, fully naked & face to face with window cleaner , wash leather in hand . He ducked out of sight. Only young lad & probably put him off women for life. Need a warning system !
