Did You Accomplish Anything Today?

I don't know exactly why but I wasn't feeling like doing a thing today and then I did some laundry and it was sheets and mattress covers. I felt I'd accomplished something at least...And I have a fresh bed to climb into tonight :giggle: ❣

Today I accomplished the best laugh I’ve had in ages !

Saying goodbye to my daughter after lunch, she threw her arm round my neck to hug me, unfortunately she was holding her keys which got caught in the open weave top I was wearing, she couldn’t free her arm and had me in a headlock !

The more we struggled the harder we shrieked with laughter, while her boyfriend sat in his car wondering what was keeping her, I was actually crying with laughter, did me the world of good !

That's great to hear you got a good laugh out of that!
 
We've had a fair amount of rain this week, and the ground is fairly soft, so I got the tractor out and dug up 4 old stumps out of the yard. Next week it is supposed to cool down a bit, so I'll go into the forest and dig up some good dirt to fill the holes I left.
 
I got all the window frames cleaned thoroughly...they take ages because they have so many grooves within the frames, but I get a great sense of achievement once they're done :D

O/H worked from home today so I made breakfast lunch and dinner for him.. up and downstairs like a 19th century scullery maid.. :LOL:🍝🥪

Cleaned all down in the kitchen and took the wate-bins out ... but that's all I've done today.... just waiting now for my dinner to be ready...having toad-in-the-hole- and broccoli

What is toad-in-the-hole? @hollydolly I've not heard of that before.
 
I accomplished sleeping too much this morning which made me nice and sluggish for the rest of the day :ROFLMAO: Managed to unload and reload the dishwasher, had some food, cleaned the toilet bowl. I think this is going to be a lazier than usual day for me.

Toad in the hole is not bread and egg :ROFLMAO: it's sausage coated in Yorkshire pudding batter... and it's served with Gravy...

Today is "Field Day Friday" around the Pecos house and I manned the vacuum cleaner as well as a scrub brush and a feather duster. Field Day Friday always takes my back to my early roots in the Navy and it resets my ego to the right level. It is hard to feel overly important when you are scrubbing a toilet. LOL

My dogs have gotten used to the vacuum, but there is something about that feather duster that has to be barked at.

Looks tasty.

In America the name does apply to an egg in the hole.

"Toad in the hole," a weird name for a dish, isn't it? Usually in America it refers to an egg cooked in the hole cut out of a piece of bread. But in England, it's sausages cooked in what is essentially Yorkshire pudding.

So you see, the name applies to both.
