Happy Friday 😊🌈

Thanks Beanie 🙂. You too.

I've got the day off to a good start by putting a wash on as soon as I got up, which is now drying in the garden. I've also taken down DS1's curtains and put them on to wash. Once the curtains are done I'll wash his net curtain too. I've dished out the easter eggs to everyone 🐣🐰. Now I'm having a short rest before I clean DS1's window. His de-cluttering efforts mean that I can finally reach it to clean it, so I'm looking forward to having it clean and sparkling. Small pleasures 😁.

Small pleasures keep us going. I am washing some blankets and they'll be on the line as soon as they are done. 
I agree Hairy, lots of people become creatures of habit so staying in might mean they decided to do it more. It will be interesting to see if someone will track the increase or decrease in behaviours. When I was off for three months a few years ago, I choose to stay in. Now, I am just wanting to get out and about again and just 'pop' in a supermarket like I used to. 
Enjoy your day. x

I hope someone does track it as it would be very interesting.

Oops sorry Beanie 🤣🐣🐰.

Well DS1's window is sparkling clean. I'm looking forward to hanging up his curtains when they've finished washing and drying 🙂. My big job of the day is done and it's only lunchtime 😇.

I think she forgot mine too 
Happy Easter all !

We (girls and I plus a friend of theirs) are having games by video this evening, including a quiz and a category game, also proposing Plague and Pandemic as 2 wildly inappropriate options !!  Easter eggs tomorrow.

As always, HH, you put the rest of us to shame with purposeful activity. Your house must, day by day, be getting so much more organised and pleasant to live in.

Thanks Elizabeth 🙂. I get bored if I'm sitting around, so all the energy I put into school is now being directed into housework and de-cluttering. It is gradually looking better and hopefully will lift all of our moods.

Your plans for this evening sound like good fun 🙂. We couldn't wait until tomorrow for our eggs 😄.

Thanks for my egg 😊
