5) Catching up on Grayson's Art Club.

Pleasures for todayA fairly productive day today, spent in the ‘real’ office with colleagues rather than the home office / spare bedroom. Nice to catch up with folk in person.
Weekly planner all done…oh how I love a good organiser / list.
I got a Poem for every day of the year book for Christmas and although I started off well, it lapsed, but caught up on Aprils poems now.
leftover Sunday roast tonight, tasty and a night off cooking just a quick ping in the microwave.
Time for bed….it’s been a long dayWell Behaved women seldom make history

Good morning
Mrs motivated - I had a Poem a Day book last year and loved it. This year I bought an anthology but limit myself to one poem each morning. It's a good way to start the day!
Beautiful tree Lainey
Actually managed to get to yoga yesterday. First time in ages, and my shoulders know about it today. But next week is a bank holiday so that's the run broken already!
More washing ( caravan bedding) done and dried. Thank you, weather.
Met DD and partner for tea. Burgers and chips. Cheap and cheerful and a nice catch up. Air con was so high in restaurant tho that we couldn't stay long without freezing/ blowing away!
Have left my knitting/ embroidery bag at the caravan! Will have to find something else to do now!
Happy Tuesday everyone12 -
Thanks HappyCas, hopefully all that blossom will mean a good harvest this year.
For yesterday,
Another day, another test, still negative but just in case did a click & collect shop for Capt S to pick up later.
Over to see my equine girlie, bit of groundwork in school just to keep her horsey brain occupied but my energy levels low so everything seemed to take twice as long.
A couple of very welcome April showers.
Chat with DSIL.
Easy tea of cold chicken with crispy potato slices.

2. No frost and veggies all safe and growing nicely.
3. 2 loads of washing done and line dried.
4. bird feeders all cleaned and food replaced, woodpecker came back hadn’t seen him for a few days so a welcome sight.
5. Todays ‘to do list’ all done.

Hello, it’s turned out to be a nice evening after a dull ( though dry) day, sky is now blue. This isn’t letting me scroll back so these are not in a timely order!This is my second attempt at posting! It won’t let me delete or change spelling so it was blethering not blathering this afternoon!Spent the morning catching up on hoovering/ floor washing/ bathrooms/ washing out.
Don’t need dinner tonight .Then out for lunch with my old work colleagues. Had a lovely afternoon of blathering and laughing ( with the odd wee lump in my throat)
Enjoyed the company of my doggy boy14 -
mrsmotivated I have a year of music (Year of Wonder) and have also got a bit behind in April so have been playing catch-up
glad you had a good holiday vjsmum
1) made a lish curry out of last month's Prima (courtesy of mum) very yummy
2) courtesy of another mag from mum, decided to focus on a particular colour on a walk - yesterday was red and today orange. no prizes for tomorrow's colour
3) lunch time today did a fast walk round the perimeter of the hospital - blew away some cobwebs
4) mr t ciabatta garlic bread is lish done in the panini press (ys garlic bread of course) and much cheaper than putting on the oven
5) the sound of birds - always cheering
