Hello!
Up early as was dog…too early for your breakfast boy!
Chat with DD2 and then friend first thing!
A nice and easy start to my day. Took my time getting ready. Got a small load of washing hung outside.
Then went to meet DD2 for lunch, went cheap and cheerful.
Chat to sister, who called as we were just heading out to post some mail andThen we popped into see a friend and had a good chat and lots of little doggy cuddles.
Walked home and then may have a little snoozette trying to catch up on Pottery Throwdown! Kept dozing!
Don’t need tea as still full from lunch.
Has been dry and bright but oooh blooming chilly wind!2 -
for yesterday
- up early and dropped 6 bags of soft plastic off at tesco (only place in Dundee that takes soft plastic - when we had a car it was easier lol
- candlemas - lead of the choir is a very talented potter - she had made us all nightlight candle holders
- lunch with mum at our fave in-town pub - i had bangers and mash which was just the right comfort food for such bleak weather
- evensong - beautiful anthem When to the temple mary went - Eccard (which did of course mean i missed the footie with DrM and MrG but can't do everything)
- catch-up with DSis - she had sent me 12 chocolate roses yum
And for today
- managed to get a battery-operated alarm clock - no longer an easy acquisition
- good piano lesson (despite bringing the wrong music d'oh but fortunately he has it all on an ipad) and i have a new Mendlessohn
- then dropped my music off, picked up my case and off to the bus. Which was late so I was a bit fretful about getting the airport bus. However DrM was on the bus so that made up for it
- Made the bus with 5 minutes to spare. And met by DD and her fiance
- Nice meal and now watching "Switched again" - a very cheesy film but some of it's filmed where they're getting married. So we are all of course glued. And there's lots of other locations around Edinburgh. oo now they're in the Dome.

A seriously frugal month planned what happens is anyone’s guess. I’ve re jigged the meal plan to use up some bits from the fridge which will now be a pasta bake tonight, and meal planned for the next few days..
The animal bedding has been cleaned, which must be a pleasure as they were clambering in as I did it!
I’m doing a bit of research for a meeting.
The woodpecker is always a pleasure to see.
