Travelling On

Karmacat

Thanks madvix - very slight relapse this morning, but honestly, I'm left with the impression that I need to be fitter.  Core exercises, and lots more walking, are the name of the game - the gardening doesn't really get to my core, it's more arms.  Still, a fair amount of grass cut today, and, erm, I got the dishwasher done and dusted.  And that's it.  I've been chatting with Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh 😎😲☠🐲🐍

Morning having been lurching about like a drunk for part of the day for the last two weeks, because of ear infection/ whatever, there's a *lot* of stuff to catch up on.  Here's a selection:
- more grass cutting.
- put the washing out.
- faffing about with Principality and current account to fulfil payment rules.
- to Waitrose, or maybe to Sainsbo, to offload all my frozen veg bags to be recycled.
- need an online order from Healthy Supplies, I'll wait a bit so it doesn't clash with trips out.
- considering freebie offers from Transferwise/Wise - they want a dual stage login now, and if I do ever bring back some euros to this country, I'd probably do it via them.  Hmm.  They want my phone number - normal enough these days, I think I'll investigate further.

Looks like a decent plan for the day (as long as there's no lurching involved). Definitely no washing here - very unpredictably showery round these parts!

Update.
- payment rules thing done.  Last payment booked for Regular Saver, don't need to do anything for NatWest payment rules because I closed the Virgin accounts, and that money ticked the payment rule  box for August.  Will need to work on September during September - sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof 
- put the washing out.
- checked out the Transferwise share offering to existing customers.  That's just a registration of interest for now, so again, during September, I'll check out more details, including the history of their share price - they listed, quietly, on July 7th, I think.

Lunchbreak!

Sounds like good progress here!

Didn't see you there till just now, Cheery, sorry about that!

Thanks madvix!

It was good, actually - after my update, I also walked to Waitrose and Sainsbo to find the box for recycled veg bags - longer walk than I'd planned, so I'm not doing anything else today, but it was a real win - I *did* want a walk, and 2 or 3 dozen bags have gone into the recycling.  Sainsbo's is much nearer the entrance than Waitrose's, so that was good.

I've set up the Healthy Supplies order, including a few nibbles for Christmas presents, but not placed it yet, so I'm not struggling with the delivery schedule.  I'll place it on Thursday.

Happy now

I couldn't manage to get to my Healthy Walk thingy, but at least I spoke to both bro and sis on the phone.  Getting ready to send the next couple of birthday cards - and August just got another family celebration to be listed, courtesy of a marriage at Sheffield Registry Office - younger generations of the Norfolk family have sort of decamped to Sheffield, it's a lively place for sure All pictures courtesy of facebook - it *does* have uses, after all!

I'm kind of ignoring money things at the moment - focussing on staying upright, getting birthday cards out, 30 mins a day in the garden unless I'm on a day trip, and an actual day trip - sister and I went to Beachy Head to check out the best views etc, as we want to take bro there when he comes down.  It was splendiferous, I must say.  I'd spent hours researching and plotting, as they have almost a dozen car parks spotted about the place.  It was a looooong day, but so worth it, we had a great time, apart from watching the nutters who sit chatting a foot from the edge, when they can see, 20 yards away, that there's a stone wall collapsed down the cliff.  That lighthouse that was physically moved back from the edge, the Belle Tout?  It's not going to last much longer.

What the falls do, though, is affect the colour of the sea bed - honestly, on a good day like yesterday, it's like watching a live Van Gogh painting.  Beautiful, all the different shades of blue and turquoise.

Sounds like you have your priorities right, karma.

The first time I ever heard of Beachy Head was in a reference to it by my English teacher when I must have been in lower sixth. We were in Birmingham, so she had to explain it to us!
