    I don't feel I achieved much with Thursday, though I spent quite some time trying to perfect the minutes I was typing up. I'm glad now that I didn't send them out as I've had second thoughts about adding something that wasn't actually discussed at the meeting. As it's to do with the course as well as the Sunday morning group, I might park the extra bit in my (neglected) course journal as it was useful to think it through.

    Last month's timesheet has been sent in and I spent half an hour on a bit of training. I seem to be inundated with safeguarding training this year: back in spring I did the refresher for my TA role, today's was for the cleaning role, on Saturday I will be doing a three hour version for the church and to cap it all, the church safeguarding leads have produced a refresher course which I have the option to attend. Not that I enjoy learning about safeguarding, but I think I might see if I can do the refresher so I know what's being said to my team and thus understand where they are coming from.

    Housework has been a bit of cleaning and a hot wash, so now the house is draped on half-dry towels. It's slightly misty-humid out of doors, and still so mild. There was a slight breeze, but drying was very slow.

    This evening I had three hours at work and bought yet more groceries as well as some hot choc towards a gift for L. Hot choc seemed to be around £5 for a particular brand a few weeks ago and is now £3.79 so I also got a spare for myself. For my dinner (and tomorrow's) I made @Watty1's curried carrot and lentil soup, which is very nice though I will probably need to add water tomorrow as it's in danger of becoming more a gel than a soup, due to me using dried lentils instead of tinned.
