Progress not Perfection

I got trapped in a lift once and now use stairs whenever I can

Thanks for the crocuses pic. Gorgeous!

With regard to no signal to ring for help, apparently a text can sometimes get through when a conversation can't. I hope none of us ever needs to know that.

Morning all.

Another nice relaxing start to the day.

I really must have a look at that jet washer today in case it needs to go back. This is starting to become a frog so is top of my to do list.

Other plans:

Take the dog on the park, meal plan for the coming week with a heavy focus on what needs using up, make a batch of butternut squash, apple and ginger soup, clean make up brushes, set washing machine and dishwasher on a maintenance cycle, plant seeds, Spanish learning, vacuuming and mopping.

Today’s exercise will be dog walking and yoga.

Tonight’s dinner is pizza and salad. Leftover aubergine stew for lunch. There is leftover Prosecco from last night as always 🥂

It might not be a NSD as I really need to order some birthday cards from 😗 🐟

That's even worse!

Well we’ve established the jet washer works 🥳 Not been able to test it properly as we need to be outside and it’s pouring with rain. Mr SA just hadn’t give it enough time to pump the water through the hose. He just switched it on and expected it to jet wash straight away 🙄

Family story of my great-grandfather getting stuck in the lift. He encouraged everyone to sing till help arrived...

I didn’t get everything I wanted to do done unfortunately but at least I got some things done which is a bonus. I was really enjoying my latest book and wanted to finish it to see what happened in the end so ended up reading for quite a good while - Yesterday’s Sun by Amanda Brooke. It was slated as far fetched on Good Reads but I really enjoyed it. Love anything with an ancient curse and magical vibes and I didn’t see the end coming until right at the end which was good.

It finally stopped raining enough to take the dog on the park but it was very waterlogged so after a quick walk round we ended up continuing to a local high street where there’s an 1ce1and. I discovered they’re still selling minced beef in normal packs rather than the vacuum packs that most supermarkets seem to have adopted so picked some up for Mr SA. I also picked up some reduced bread rolls and part baked baguettes for him.

I’ve got a really busy week ahead but have lunch out with friends to look forward to on Friday 🙂

Lovely to have lunch to look forward to.

That's Monday almost done.

Worked in the office until just after lunchtime. Now back home to finish up a few bits.

I got absolutely soaked on the way home. Mr SA came to meet me at Lid! so he and the dog also got soaked. Picked up the free biscuits and bakery item. They only had one veg box and it wasn't worth the hassle of buying it. 11-ish seems to be the sweet spot with them at this particular store and I didn't leave work until well after 1pm.

Monday finance check done and despite stocking up at Ald! and 1celand over the weekend the food shop for the week still came in under budget by the skin of its teeth. CC balance checked and cleared.

The balance for the April holiday has gone out today so I need to transfer the money from the holiday pot to the current account. 10 weeks today we'll be in Lanzarote 😎 Looking forward to a break but hate leaving the dog now she's older. Obviously DD will look after her but she's not as soft with her as we are, she thinks we spoil her too much. The dog is very clingy and will probably pine for us.

Today's exercise has been walking to/from work and I've got a live strength training class at 7.15.

Tonight's dinner is scampi with sweet potato wedges and steamed veg. Using up fridge/freezer stocks.

I was a bit cross with myself for not getting everything ticked off my to do list from yesterday although I am pleased we finally got the jet washer working. I just didn't feel very motivated yesterday for some reason.

Sometimes you rest instead of motivation.👍

Glad you figured out the jet washer.
