Gnomes and good omens

"Why is the back seat of the car covered in garden gnomes?"
"They're not all gnomes; some are fairies."

Answer: I'm stocking up on craft stuff for grandchildren at home and away. However I can't answer Husband's other question.

At 6.59 am I stirred as Husband rustled around. At this sign of life from me Husband said, "Why have I got six bites on my leg?"

I turned over and went back to sleep. I didn't get away with it though because next time I woke up he asked again, "I've got six bites. Where did they come from?"

How am I supposed to know? I fully expect him to blame my clothes washing technique rather than garden bugs.

Today was supposed to be a calm relaxed day. It's turned into a "I've got too many things to do" day. I'm not sure how that happened either.

Last week I wrote the first draft of my next Bay article. Then promptly forgot about it. So I need to get that finished and sent off. I've made cakes ready for Zac's as I have the grandchildren tomorrow but I still need to go shopping for food. I also planned to do some gardening as it's dry and the weeds have been having a field day with all the rain we've had but I think that will have to be postponed to another day. Even my sentences are too long for me to breathe.

Any fans of Good Omens out there? We're enjoying season 2 though Beelzebub was better in season 1.

I'm glad you're the wife in this situation! If I had been, he'd have had seven bites, one with tooth marks!

If you can't tell him where he got the bites, you are so obviously an abject failure as a wife.
