Batten Down The Hatchets!

One way to help the weather make up its mind is to hang out washing - Marcelene Cox
Welcome to my Sunday.
Catch up is the word for today! 
Caught up on the sleep....
Now for hot hugs and tea...
 Then for some adult fun ;)
I'm glad we did all the things we had to do yesterday.

Coffee Time!
Used one of the ottomens I bought yesterday↓
Nibble time↓
 I cleaned the kitchen.
Washing machine & tumble drier are back on.
Hubby was sorting out all the odd socks.

We watched Top Gear
 Freddie and Chris tackle the toughest off-road race on the planet: the brutal Baja 1000. Out on the track, there is a showdown between a Renault hot hatch, a Porsche sports car - and an old Lamborghini.
