    I have had a good lie in. Today I am washing some clothes, then I will paint some more panels I have done 4 so far. My back is a bit sore by Friday my back garden will be done.

    What a glorious day. By the end of tomorrow i should have finished the garden fence.  Next week after a few days rest I plan to paint fences in the front garden  and the garden entrance area. I have mopped the kitchen floor and upstairs. 

    There are 9 days till payday. I miss my holiday job money.

    The back garden fences have been painted. I will try to do the front garden one tomorrow. I am going to chill for the rest of the day.

    You've earned your rest. 
    I hope you have got out in the sun this afternoon, used your swing and are still smiling!

    I might be going to Steve and Andy's (theyre giving me a lift) to help their mum with some jobs in the house as she hasn't been well. I will find out later. My plans for today have included tidying the house and mow grass. It may rain for a few days so I can have a rest from painting the front fence.

    That will make a change for you and helping someone else is very rewarding to your spirit I find.

    That would do you a lot of good if it happens, change of scenery, chatting with people face to face and getting to spend time with Steve and Andy 🤗

    You're getting through your tasks now, don't try and do too much and get some sleep!
