Morning you lovely people
Honesty - yesterday was a crap day - completely out of sorts, irritable, cross words, tears - HORMONES & Pain & Lockdown
Yesterdays doings:
1. Not a lot - curled up on bed and sofa !
2. Finished Gary Barlow - I was not an original fan... in the 90's but have always liked their music and have now been to Wembley and saw the reunion with Robbie, and seen him as a solo artist. I found his relationship with food really interesting and his grief for his father and child very moving and thought provking... in terms of my training, its good to read lots of narratives.
3. Finished crochet blanket
4. Watched TV
5. FT inlaws - talking about a visit in July.
Financial
Online food delivery ...... ( planned)
Nandos - unplanned - on a plus note it was lovely, and helped reconciliation, plus the pub is reopening this week and nothing takeaways. So we could count this as our one non cook day this week.
Thankfully
1. Ended the day at peace
2. Yummy takeaway
3. Craft therapy
4. Cat antics
So Dancing/Singing into this day.... What the World Needs Now.... Dionne Warwick

Morning ( just!) you lovely people
Yesterday started to be a better day until mid afternoon when i had a physical crash and realised that I had to reassess what my plans were for the next few days. Sadly drinks went with a friend last night, and derby day with family cancelled on Sat. Early nights and late mornings, box sets (Lewis) and sofa surfing... is the prescription - guilt free. I need to accept that final assignment submission will need to be postphoned - I have to the 14th July.
Financial - core text book required.
Thankfullly
1. That I can STOP with no major consequences
2. MA Interview on zoom tomorrow so I can investigate plans for the future.
3. That I can accept where I am at - more of that in diary posts to come....
4. Young H (cat) arrived home after 10 mins of calling and shaking dreamies last night as we were going to bed
In recognition of the pace of life for today... the song of the day is Robin ( The Hooded Man) by Clammad, which I have on DVD and I just might have to play to relive my youth....

Morning you lovely people
OH last day at work then a week off
although he is at home all the time, he is glued to his desk from 9 - 5 so a week off to potter and relax will be great.
Yesterday doings....
1. Caught up with bookkeeping boss so he is happy
2. Paid myself so paid off debt....
3. Ordered some storage from H@bbyCr@ft for the Christmas Day Charity and sneaked in some buttons and yarn to finish projects - this was good as I had been tempted to go buy more on another site
4. I did as my body wished and had a sofa surfing day, TV and craft now on Lockdown Project 9
In other news Rick Astley @ The Palladuim has been post phoned for a second time ( Easter, November) , to next May - which is good, lets hope TravelLodge is just as helpful.
Financial.
Paid off study books and a large clothes bill with bookkeeping money.
Due to planned outgoings from pocket money at beginning of month, and payments already recorded no opportunity for debt busting.... next week.
we did win £25.00 on the Premium Bonds which OH has reinvested....
Thankfully
1. The ability to Sofa surf
2. Birdsong... hearing it more and more now
3. Toberone, from Christmas found in the goodie cupboard
4. Knowing I am cared for by the friend we cancelled on Wednesday...
As I have more energy today.... I am back dancing......... It has to be "The Best Years of Our Lives, Modern Romance as I am determined to make this decade the one where I take care of me, and be comfortable in my own skin..... and enjoy being with my OH x
