Hope all are well, I need to get a crack on tomorrow, We have sorted through the books on DD's shelves and put what she wants to keep back in the room with the shelves and have 2 more piles of books to sort and sell/give away/charity/whatever..... xx0 -
Thanks Natty, my first full week flying!
Got off to a flapping start yesterday; I should have guests to dinner more often as managed:
to hoover ALL house except main bedroom
all lounge dining room dusted and tidied, no piles anywhere (apart from the small box of assessment paperwork which had been languishing in lounge for weeks and is now in office waiting to be emptied and filed)
Piled paperwork in kitchen but needs sorting through
Cooked meal with enough left over for this evening's meal
Not much done today as I went back to work. Luckily only had 3 students to teach an hour each, and a few meetings. Voice still very croaky and thought it was going to give out in the middle of student 2's lesson, but survived. Felt very dizzy by lunch time; worried it was return of the virus but more likely to be the effect of a Costa mid-morning having not had one for a week! Very tired by this evening so didn't feel up to going to gym class. Must re-start tomorrow, gently, as I have been building up to 3 classes on a Tuesday with my "get fitter and thinner for Christmas" campaign.Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.0 -
