Morning you lovely people.....
I am here to cheer myself up a bit and focus on positive things, as RL has sent me some curve balls this morning, nothing major, but let's say less than supportive of me, which makes me sad.....
Yesterday doings......
1. I finished and filed my theory assignment..... dancing emojis
2. Then sat in front of the TV - zombie like, crocheting, knitting.
We did watch finally I Daniel Blake..... and I cried, as through previous work situations I know the story is true, and that since the film was released and in these economic times the issues are still there.... for one thing we have 4 yes 4 food banks in our borough and we are on the leafy banks of the river thames just over the greater London border. Up to lockdown we regularly put items into the church collection, now we have set up a direct debit.... and have reduced our food budget. OH comment was that there is always a scene, and for him it was the food bank, and his observation that I always give sanitary products......
Financial
Our gardener came, we cant physically do the manual jobs ( mowing) and sadly we have nobody to help ... So as I see it we are supporting a family ( husband of our cleaner). It looks so much nicer... shame its too cold and wet to sit out!
Thankfully
1. For assignment 2/3 completed!
2. That we have a lovely home, OH has a good job, and we can quietly support others
3. Uncle Reg.... has seen his wife in his residential home
4. Chair Yoga !!!
My lovely OH has bought me a coffee.... I have to look at bookkeeping work this morning ( and pay myself ) before thinking about the last assignment.
So my dancing into the day song today.... is a bit more of a reflective one.... and its Hallelujah - Alexandra Burke
Take Care.... and whatever happens today remember Self Care must be the top of the list.
