An in-between phase

Maybe I have misunderstood, but is there a possibility that you might have missed a piece of post, an email or even a new key being put through your door at the HA property? Might be worth asking neighbours before getting too fierce with the HA …?

Great quotes @weenancyinAmerica. Fortunately waving off the dessert cart is not one of my failings

I am in awe at your wise words @Slowdown

Darn right @ladyholly. I've informed family friend and they're here next week so hopefully they can sort it out without me having to shorten my fuse any further!

I love that you always try to find the calm and collected way forward @KajiKita. However, I haven't missed any of those things and it is very on-brand for the HA. I actually hope it is them because although it's sad to be able to so easily just add it to the many ways in which they're dire, if it's a neighbour then that is a whole different kettle of out of order fish.

Anyway, no bad vibes on a Sunday. It is sunny, Mr PIP has bought us a Sunday paper and wants to get us nice brunch and takeaway Greek for dinner, and I am refusing to do anything other than eat and read today. Small productivities may occur if I so choose.

That sounds like a lovely day, enjoy PIP

Things that were dun:

Tidying
Admin
Attempted some wussy situps, quickly packed that in
Comping
20 minute carpet walk

Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning... ... ... yep, hampers

Mr PIP and I were going to have an evening of drinking some of the weird beers that have been sitting around for ages but then I looked closely at them and they're all far too strong and scary for me!
Oh well I shall just have to enjoy the delicious montepulciano he bought to have with our takeaway treat dinner while we peruse the paper supplements.

That sounds like a glorious day PiP - you've reminded me that we have various ludicrously strong beers kicking about which we really should tackle drinking, so might suggest we share one a week on a suitable weekend day for a few weeks.

They really are the 'liqueur brought back from holiday' of the pub beer fest world aren't they @EssexHebridean 😁

Woke late as woke in the middle of the night and couldn't get back to sleep for two hours, ugh.
And this drop in temperature and lack of light is not giving energy and motivation

But some things got dunned:
Tidying
Admin
20 minute walk picking up an olio unopened pack of dental floss, dropped the free paper to mums

Shower and hairwash
Comping
Three surveys
Bit of spec work
Bit of a flat clean as family friends arriving this evening

Most importantly, I chose my winter perfume.
Hanging onto the autumn handbag and possibly coat until December but colder temperatures called for new scent

20 minute walk with Mr PIP for beer (Happy Mondays all 🍻), did another survey, wrote a product review for freebie moisturiser, and did some little bits and bobs on the to-do list

Dinner is aldi pizza with added veg, as we wanted something that was quick and using minimal things so the flat still looks vaguely presentable before family friends arrive. And because pizza goes extremely well with constant downpour weather

You can have my snow if you want it

For me you can't beat a thrifty Aldi pizza with extra added ham and veg toppings, bit of extra tomato sauce and tiny bit more grated cheese on top..
