The first three could be reduced to two. Strip and make the bed without getting up.Hello people. Looks like we are in for a decent day, hope so as I plan some allotment time. I'm hoping to be industrious so in order of priority:
Izzy whizzy let's get busy........
- Get up
- Strip bed
- Make bed
- White wash on
- Hang out last night's washing
- Annual blood test
- Paint radiator (this is reaching divorce level)
- Housework
- Allotment
- Go back to bed
And your plans for the afternoon...

I would rather deal with animals than people any day!Sounds quite disgusting.
How can you face food after doing that
Caught Molly licking the butter on my toast last night and still scoffed it. Lol.

After cleaning a disgusting female’s human excrement off cell walls way back before health and safety, power washers, etc, believe me dealing with animals is a treat. Not sure who is the animal to be honest!
Remind me not to kiss youI would rather deal with animals than people any day!
I'm afraid that toast would have gone straight into the bin.

No, not by a long way. If you continue with the peppers outside in a warm sunny spot or in the conservatory you can expect them to continue growing and producing until October possibly November. This is why I suggested moving in to 6 litre pots. My peppers are in my greenhouse and will stay there unless we get a very good summer - I suggest you leave yours in the conservatory.
The tomatoes are a little different. Because these are in pots they will eventually reach a point where they simply can't continue to maintain growth. I feel you'll probably get tomatoes through to late September.
My tomatoes are in the glasshouse but are in large troughs which gives more room for root development, compost volume, feed etc. I can often be picking the last tomatoes in early December. The plants will be dieing but the fruit continues to ripen albeit slowly. This year I think they will finish in early November - I got too much early growth before flowering started.
Also you have cherry tomatoes and I have full size. In my experience cherry toms run out of steam first.
Back to the hoovering.........

@Tenkaykev both my Wahoo and Garmin are accurate enough to show when I'm outside my back gate!!
Consequently have everything set to show my start/finish points as randomised within a half mile radius.

I confess, I am not a dog or cat person but it makes me physically heave when I see people allowing their pets to lick their faces
