An in-between phase

You can ask for a local anaesthetic @ladyholly but it's not automatic and as it would turn it into a much longer procedure I thought I'd brave it!

25 minute walk, popped some bits over to mum

Entered some competitions, today I'm mostly looking forward to winning 3k

Flat clean with Mr PIP, including a big clean of the kitchen bin 💪

Finished a book! Tremor by Teju Cole

Did my tax return. HMRC are trying to give me money. I am so confused. This has happened before and turned out to be accurate so I am not chasing them again for hours and hours and hours to get clarity, they can ask for it back if they want to, I know I put the correct info in!

Dinner is cheesy potatoes with baked vine tomatoes and has been prepped by Mr PIP 😊

Happy Sunday everyone! 🍻

Was the book any good?

Well done for doing the tax return

Hope you feel more comfortable soon.

Thanks @doingitanyway, much improved today- occasional minor twinges but no need for painkillers.

Book was well written and I'd be interested in reading more of his, I enjoyed it when I was reading it but wasn't desperate to get back to it when I wasn't. I could've done with it being more clear who was speaking or about who we were following when, but tbh I don't think it was the author's fault that I usually read in the evenings when I'm brain-tired! I vibed with his bringing in different cultural aspects and it had lots of important perspective points that I empathised with and was glad to have read.

Realised I haven't done April Aims:

-Try to make money
-Don't let the ongoing gobsmacking incompetencies of literally all aspects of build grind me down into hopelessness
-Something or other about being healthier and doing some exercise and cooking and that sort of whatnot

This is all very sensible but I don’t see anything potentially joy inducing?

Good reminder @KajiKita

-Appreciate friendly local pub when funds allow
-Strolls in sun
-Something small but nice for Easter 

We finished watching Towards Zero on iPlayer, would very much recommend. Three episodes of about an hour each, based on Agatha Christie book and great cast, scenery and period setting

Well done. It's so easy to get caught up in the 'shoulds' and forget the bits that nurture us ... well it is for me!

Does it remain true to the book though?  I am still muttering about The Pale Horse, which was great if you hadn't read the book.

I haven't read the book @beanielou but you're welcome to DM with/for spoilers to prevent dark mutterings 😁
