An in-between phase

That sounds much more sensible @badmemory, though my keys do have a bottle opener on them 😂

That’s a very splendid looking key ring 🙂🦩

My front door key does too, curtesy of a posh Xmas cracker, but that stays near the door.  Not such a good idea perhaps for me to have a bottle opener on the car keys.  But the house keys I take with me have a skull on them, but no crossbones.

I have flamingo keyring envy now!

I'd use that flamingo as a bag charm.

That was my thinking too @foxgloves!

Bit grumpy today, the extra pain and the extra knackeredness that comes with it is getting me down, and the weather, feeling sad about dead loved ones, and stress about the build are not helping.

Usuals, survey, receipt survey

37 minute walk getting some lemon cake slices from olio, dropping off soft plastics recycling, and getting a few essentials from aldi

Shower and hairwash. Shoulder not at all happy

Mr PIP is out this evening so dinner will be using up a one person portion of pasta and some of the open jar of cupboard sauce. I did intend to do some cleaning but suspect that will be sacked off until tomorrow in favour of wine and reading

Wine and reading sounds a much more enjoyable option than cleaning. You’ve got Wolf in The Masked Singer to look forward to later. Hope you have a relaxing evening and feel better soon.

Well, if you are not 'feeling the love' today, PiP, I think I concur that wine & reading is the better choice for this evening. I am certainly intending to read after I've signed out of here. It is sad thinking of those close to us whom we have lost. Most of the time, I think more of the positives, the stuff we did together, the laughs, having had the privilege of knowing people, but I have been thinking recently about my lovely friend who died very suddenly (same age as me) - partly because I can't believe that next month, it will be 8 years since I saw her, & partly because I'd always thought we'd kind of grow old together, that she'd come to stay when (if!) Mr F & I manage to move to the coast, etc. It's odd how losses suddenly strike one, isn't it? I am still tinged with sadness on marmalade making day because I always remember how much my Dad looked forward to receiving new supplies for his toast & I see things in shops which would have made such a fab little gift for Mum. It's only human to think wistfully about those people who are no longer with us though. Most days, it doesn't cross my mind at all, then the daftest little thing will crop up & seem particularly poignant.

sacking off cleaning for wine and reading here too.  Evil cat may have to be evicted from my chair in front of the fire first though.
