A mish mash from the past couple of days
1 A friend is coming over this week, the reason I say that is I wasn’t going to bother cleaning and then thought I need to so up and downstairs hoovered up.
2 Followed the meal planning, last night was spaghetti with pesto coating with some 70p lidl reduced chicken tikka pieces which was a nice change.
3 More chapters read.
4 Using up some bathroom bits, I had saved luxury bits gifted, why I “saved it” don’t know so using it and enjoying the luxury.
5 I had to order up some more fat balls as they are going quick, I also got some more bulbs planted.
6 I was getting a bit money antsy, but very mse I was working out ways to cover if we needed to and today it was sorted so happy.
7 More work enquiries.
8 The woodpecker on the bird feeder, lovely to see it again.

Pleasures for today (Thursday)
1) A lie in.
2) Hens OK.
3) All housework done, except the washing, which is still rotating.
4) Sandwiches for lunch, from last night's LO chicken and stuffing.
5) Went to Ludlow after lunch and tried to linger longer than my usual rush to the usual charity shops then back to the car. Walked round the outside of the castle (as far as is possible) and in some of the courts and squares plus the "new" jubilee garden and around the outside of the parish church.
6) Tasty tea of kebabs with rice, broccoli and a garlic yoghurt sauce.
7) Will do the virtual pub quiz shortly.11 -

Pleasures for today:
some jobs I don’t like doing got done this morning: shower glass cleaned and buffed, kitchen floor speed mopped and lounge windows cleaned in readiness for below.
Week 2 of stretch and relax class completed, although I feel like an old lady as I have to do most of the exercises seated as my back won’t allow me to lie on a hard wood floor at the moment ☹️
Hair cut and blow dried, looks better but unfortunately it won’t last and I still need to colour it.
Dunelm fitter came to replace my new lounge curtains which they had measured but made too short. Replacements look lovely and I have bought the the originals to hang in my bedroom, same style bay window but not so long, for a quarter of their price (MSE)!
