Morning everyone happy Sunday.A lovely sunny start to the day. Got up early read my book and completed my Spanish quests.
I did indeed have Prosecco last night and there’s plenty left for tonight.Unfortunately my Saturday night was spoiled by having to clean the hall carpet at 9.30. Mr SA hadn’t made it to the toilet in time despite having a pad on. What a mess 😞 Can’t you tell he’s back!The plan for today is cleaning this morning and gardening this afternoon. The dog will need a run on the park this morning too. Also hoping to see the bottom of the laundry basket at some stage today.I’m going to make a plan to fit in the housework and gardening in small stints over 7 days like I used to. Also I need to make a list of jobs that need doing like jet washing the patio and painting the fence/gates. It’s so hard to fit everything in when it’s just me doing everything plus working full time. Mr SA makes such a mess!Right must crack on, already cleaned the living room, hall is next.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7 -

Hoping you can find a way to claim some time for yourself.
Good idea for garden and house. Reminds me of the, How do you eat an elephant?...One bite at a time.
Hope the park run is a nice change of sceneIf you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
