Saturday and bummed I woke at 7.30am......without an alarm!! Tony was at work so it was just me and the dogs in bed. Got up, had a cuppa tea and hung out the washing I had put on delay to start during the night. Not the bright sunny start to the day I was hoping but maybe the cloud cover will burn off later.
