I'm back and I'm in this week. Been off on my travels for a week or two, have done a ton of washing since I've been home but not a lot else and the house is looking pretty shameful.

Had a bad start this week as I was in hospital most of last night with my stupid broken body and then came home and slept til midday

Have had breakfast, done a little tidying and hung some washing out to dry.

This time I'm not going to pressure myself to do loads as I'm feeling rather fragile but will aim for level one and post what I've done.

It's good to be back
