The green, green glass of home

Recycling

We are gathering glass and tetra packs to take to the recycling bank. We have still not found a way to recycle the plastics the council do not handle. Most manufacturers are not amenable to having their plastic returned to sender. Gah.

Lawn-mowing

We did it. I did it until I couldn't do any more, then Rob finished it. We trimmed the edges with a scissors; that's how small our lawn is. The garden looks better now.

Baking

Remember, kids, set a timer for the cupcakes.

Drinks

I am occasionally drinking alcohol in the evening. I'm not sure whether this is dissipation or a sign of being so sane I can afford to risk mind-altering chemicals. English definitely needs the tense "I do be doing."

I had a glass of wine at Centreparcs when we did a bbq & then had 2 at at bbg on Friday & a bottle of beer with a friend on Saturday afternoon. I'm still not completely relaxed about drinking alcohol when in charge or shared charge of my children, I need to chill more. Also, I dislike it when I have 1 glass & then Andy stays up to finish the bottle & is then hungover the next morning & can't / won't help out with things.
