The boys will do their own thing - both have plans to go to the gym, and ds1's gf is away so he'll be around a bit more than usual, although he's still recovering from his DofE expedition last week so that will mostly involve sleeping. I'll also go and see my mum at some point. I need to wander into town for some bits and pieces and make ds2 a birthday cake for tomorrow. We've had a couple of busy weekends so I'm looking forward to pottering today. I've had a lie in this morning and the house is quiet - Dh is at work and the boys are still in bed - so I'm enjoying a cuppa and some breakfast in peace. Dd2's friend in the Netherlands is already on their summer holidays so they've been Minecrafting together more often, which is nice & means dd2 doesn't get huffy at me when she has "nothing to do" 🙄 She has plenty - she just doesn't do it 🤷♀️. This evening, maybe another row or two of the top I'm crocheting, or maybe read some more of my book. I'll pick up some snacks of some sort for later on. Tea is likely to be a help yourself affair, or McDonalds for the girls, since we're eating out. I'm not sure if the girls are joining us, or going to town together, or doing their own things here 🤷♀️ Dd2 did say yesterday she thought they'd be heading to town, so we'll see when they get up. We'll more than likely end up at the bakery stall, and fruit stall as well - there's very little fruit left this week (unless you count the millions of apples my dad bought us - they're taking some getting through!) I want a clock for the kitchen while we're there, and we'll probably browse a few other shops.

The restaurant I wanted to go back to closed on Monday with immediate effect 😢 I've been browsing menus online & have picked two potential places to try. We're off into town for lunch today - not a clue where atm. There are a few pots to be done too, but not many so I'll do them shortly so they're out of the way. Hopefully they'll get a few hours out before it rains. I've done one small load of washing already that needs to go on the line for a while, and will put the second in in a mo. I'm just drinking my first cuppa, in my kitchen spot, with the window flung open so I can hear the birds.
