Breaking Through, Travelling On

Well, I had to go to the supermarket yesterday morning - managed to get there before the rush, that was good - and when I recovered, there was gradual deep-cleaning going on. That will continue today, plus airing stuff.
Tried to do a bit of writing for the travel book but couldn't focus, so I did an appendix of links to the places I'd referred to, at least it was something.
Today will be more cleaning and disinfecting, though any computer work needs to be on the evacuee letters.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Can't focus on the financial admin for the life of me, so I'm focussing on blog admin my excuse is I had a bad sleep, and I'm off to London anyway, so I don't want to push myself
Uh oh. **lists** of excuses :rotfl:
It's all in line with the greater plan. I'm just putting some beans in the slow cooker, did a *lot* of weeding yesterday and I'll do more in a mo as long as it doesn't rain - ambition is to get rid of one of the self seeded lady's mantle plants (sorry SHS!) there are *so* many, to give space to plant the sage plant.
In other good news - my poor little scabious did *not* die. I love scabious, but I'm terrible at recognising the leaves, so this time, I'll repot that too

oh yes - agree with a rota - we have one for the kitchen & one for the bathroom - only one thing gets done a day - so minor it does not seem like cleaning...
...now the rest of the house is a whole other story...

British Museum trip to see The American Dream was amazing - the kind of day out that retirement is supposed to be about :j we were hours later finishing than I thought we'd be, but it was brilliant :j

That's kind of what I do, beanie, but I refer to it as crisis management :rotfl:
Little bits achieved yesterday, in spite of being tired from going to London:
- two sessions of cutting back the box hedge yesterday, and I'll do another today. I'm so close to finishing! And the huge mahonia is finally exposed to sunlight nearly all the way round - its grown a bit wonky over the last 5 years, I think because of the hedge expanding to smother it
- not really an achievement, but a phone call I accepted - Post Office have retrieved that ISA money from Paragon, ie from the 3 year fix at 1.41%. I have to open an easy access today at 1.01%, which is fine and not even an isa, the woman gave me the reference so I can link up the application with the money. I have a lot of money going out on Regular Savers, as well as ordinary living expenses, and I need to get the big jobs done of replastering and whatnot, so this money is important.
- used nectar card money to go to Sainsbo, £7.50 hurray, plus popped into Waitrose and got 60p off fresh veg, which is amazing - how often does that happen, that vouchers are for fresh veg? And just as good, Sainsbo gave me high value till spits for points for stuff I actually buy :rotfl: I may stock up2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
