Sun(ny)day

It's lovely out - still cold-ish but the sun is shining and melted away all the frost.

I had fun with the boys last night. I am afraid they were still up and playing me up at 10.30. Somehow Jack thinks running around keeping his little brother awake and pestering me is a good way to get to sleep! He complained he couldn't sleep! I said it does help to be in bed for a start. LOL It all went quiet about 10 to 11 'Phew!'
I stopped and had a little chat with Craig & Di before heading home. They'd been bowling with a load of mates.
I slept in until 9 this morning :-D Lovely! I had a leisurely bath and got dressed and the dog was still curled up snug on my bed, enjoying an active dream, paws twitching, faint little woofs :-) aww bless her!

I had a parcel delivery this morning!! While I was in the bath of course! It was the replacement handle bit for my Dyson cleaner. Jenny managed to trip over the Dyson a couple of weeks ago and smashed it against a cupboard and the handle end snapped off. It's the bit all the accessories fit onto so a fairly vital part! The wonderful Dyson site enables you to buy almost any part of a Dyson should it break. I also ordered a replacement head - stair attachment - as mine has been missing for years. Not seen it since getting the machine back from my Craig after his marriage and setting up home with his now ex-wife. Now I can 'do' my stairs properly again :-) rather than manage with attachments not designed for the job and a stiff rubber brush (thank you JML).
I said all our snow has gone, but there is a tiny remnant on the front drive from Jen's attempt at a snowman. It's just a small mound of icy melting snow. Apart from that, you'd never have believed 3 days ago is was all under 4 or 5 inches of white stuff.

I thought I had picky birds in my garden - 2 seed feeders with same seeds in each but one feeder got emptied twice as quickly as the other, Mystery! Solved yesterday! I came down to find a fat pigeon perched on the lip of the feeder tray just able to reach the seed feeder and hoover up the contents! I know it's also in easy squirrel reach from that tray so this morning I moved it! The squirrel can probably still get at it if determined enough but it should be beyond the reach of the wood pigeons now.

Time for sunday afternoon nap I think. Full tummy and the sofa is calling me LOL
Bye for now.
