Travelling On

Karmacat

Ooh, Suffolk Lass, I went to find that one too, and it sounds wonderful!  And extremely simple, that's what I'm after.  Savoury, too.  Perfick   

Karmacat

Did half an hour of the same garden-y things, and my arms aren't quivering, which I'll take for the win. Before that, I kind of unpacked most of my airing cupboard, which is now spread all over my bed         and there are two big towels in there that would also be useable as curtain liners.  I've never used either of them  - long stories on both, but basically surplus to requirements.  Mending the middle set of screws that support the curtain pole is the first thing, though.  Tomorrow.

I would never have thought of using towels as curtain liners ... what a great idea 

Karmacat

Thanks El!  They're both really big: I bought one for my mum to lay over her pillows when she stayed with me, and the other was a piece of American SF merchandise based on Babylon 5, a TV show (so, not long stories at all ).  Well worth using, rather than sitting in my airing cupboard and never, ever doing anything with them.

Good News
Just watched the Antiques Roadshow and there was a superfan of The Who, and they specifically mentioned one of the first stadium gigs, at Charlton Athletic Football Club in summer 1976   I went to that gig!  Tickets were £2.20   

Bad News
I'd been upstairs before watching it, and didn't go into the kitchen.  Where I had some nuts softening in a pan.  Burned the pan, quite badly

There's an ASDA rewards app?

I love hearing about your house, KC. It sounds so cosy

Yep, I'm blowed if I know how to use it online, but now that my possible delivery is 9 days away, I'll have a go today, and give feedback here.

Awwww 😄 thank you!  The plaster is a bit dodgy these days, but otherwise its very compact and efficient.  Though I definitely need to take any extra chances I can to insulate.

Daily to do and ta-da still to come, the Happy Wheel is taking ages to play through a free £1, and its discombobulated me slightly  

Karmacat

Happy Wheel worked it's way through.  Dishwasher done.  Decided to do a bit of weed-pulling for my half hour in the garden.  Oh good grief!  Managed about 20 minutes, utterly exhausting and horribly so, that up-and-down is no joke.  I'm watching Stargate 😁😁😁 and then I'll go for a walk.

My walk yesterday was brilliant - half again as far as I've previously done in these weeks, with no ill effects, hurray!

Happy Wheel done: balance is now £20.13, hurray.  Got to hurry up with the Sensible/Soaring September list, so I can get on and do the HW in the way that Cheery does.

Ages ago, I entered a competition on AutoTrader to win an EV car - they have a draw every month, and they *tell* you when you haven't won, and give you a link to the next months' draw, which is very sporting of them.  Entered that today!

I should have been in my U3A Zoom meeting, but one guy had a diary clash, and my laptop won't cooperate.  So we tried working with the settings, just the two of us, but couldn't do it - we'll have a separate meeting to try to sort it out.  Plus another member of my family genealogy group, a very elderly gentleman living in Scotland, has died and there's a family birthday to sort - my walk today will be to the postbox, after my Soaring September bizzyness.

Sorry to hear about your family(?) genealogy group member.

I like the Autotrader competition, but I've fallen off the list - must find the comp and enter, thanks for the reminder. 

Glad you are managing the walk - I thought after your gardening exercise yesterday you were being brave going out for a walk too, so it's great that you've managed it with no ill effects!

Great to see you recovering ok and sensibly taking things slowly.  I gave up caffeine this week and am feeling dreadful (almost migraine level headaches and crushing fatigue) so am trying to emulate your ways of doing things a little bit at a time.  Maybe I need a master list like yours to keep track - are you finding it helpful?
