Monday washday!

I feel like my Mother today. We have done our washing today rather than yesterday since it was my birthday so didn't want to do it then.
My mum always used to do the washing on a Mobnday like countless other women of her time, and then it would be drying all over the kitchen and middle roon in front of the fire or outside on the line. There would be no drying outside today though since it is showery on and off all day. The blessings of a tumble dryer thereefore to make our modern lives easier. So it will be ironing tomorrow, since the new bedding requires a fair bit of that being cotton sheets. Worth it though because they are wonderful to sleep in.
We went to Crosby this morning to get our weeks stuff, you can park for free for 1/2 an hour so that is good and VT is pleased because it means no dawdling. It is a quick rush round then home. No kids around yet but I think they are breaking up this week.
Jane rang up this lunchtime to say she has finally got an appointment after waiting a year! she has been put off so many times that she was losing hope I think, so we will have to hope that works for her.
Very wet this afternoon, little Bobby went outside then ran straight into her hut, and stayed there for good looking out. VT went to the back door and called her and she came running in. They hate getting wet, but the little hut is good for a bit of shelter to the first come first served.
Tonight we are having:
Cheese and Onion Quiche,
Sliced fried potatoes,
Cauliflower and broccoli gratin.
