And just been rummaging around in the recycling to retrieve a set of keys that I now recall belong to next door.
I knew there was a reason I don’t throw things away - my shocking memory being a large part of it.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

No news here, roast beef on the go (cheap piece of meat so hope the longer it cooks the better it will be) half the beef in freezer to do another meal. All boys parked in front of Motogp so I am resting. Going to sort my wardrobe out at some point so I have day clothes to hand rather than event clothes 😂
Might have half a chance to do my fleabay listing today.

Spotted tub of blackberries in the freezer yesterday, so I've ended up doing a baking day today.
From the freezer, apples, pears & blackberries turned into a mixed fruit crumble.
From the cupboard a golden syrup bottle BBD 2013, good job sugar does not go off, gingerbread biscuits and then used the same recipe and swapped out the ginger for cinnamon, which I think is called sincker doddle in America.
Then a tub of cherries used up in cherry scones.
That's kept me out of mischief for a while.£71.93/ £180.007 -

I have discovered that the vanished supermarket recycling points have reappeared.
So one bag of cardboard that won’t fit in the recycling bin and some old bedding taken down.
Two bags of clothes for the charity shop, including some sentimental items that I’m never going to wear again. Quite pleased with myself for parting with those.
4 packs of seeds rehomed on freegle.
Old phone attempting to give away on the free sites. 3 old mirrors, ditto.Defunct walking boots in the bin.
Blind put up and the voiles they are replacing washed and put away (they will come in handy for another window, honest.)
Keys - still pending as I’m now too scared to get rid just in case.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend in spite of the horrible weather. I went to visit a friend yesterday. It was really lovely to see her its the first time in so long that things felt anywhere near normal & I felt like life is opening up again!
I've been toying with the idea of moving out of London & down to the Coast (or Spain) on and off for years but Covid happened and I just suppressed all my plans for the future to get through lockdown. Yesterday talking to my friend it felt possible again. So that has given me a renewed focus - get the house in a fit state ready to sell !! I woke up ridiculously early this morning because I felt so excited - unfortunately after a brief burst of energy followed by delivering a webinar for work - I crashed... & have done very little this afternoon- BUT - I have a plan!!!!
542 & 543 - 2 x morning routine (the second one completed at 7:30pm)
544. Took down kitchen blackboard (deciding whether I should put it up somewhere else)
545. Painted where blackboard has been
546. Reconfigured furniture in dining room - much more spacious
547. Hung framed print
54. Reconfigured furniture in living room - brought down chair from bedroom & swapped it over with living room chair - trying to decide whether to let go of it
