Moving on

Cherryfudge

Yesterday, it rained. I always have to do a bit of planning so I have everything I need on Thursdays, going from one place of work to the other without a visit home in between. This time I was glad that I'd thought ahead and packed my scruffy work trainers and dry socks, as I changed into those on arrival at the afternoon class and so had a comfortable afternoon. The soggy trainers and socks are still in my work bag so I need to get those out and drying.

Both jobs went okay and I now know the hours worked on 8th May, so the timesheet needs to be finished and sent off soon.

No progress on DH's phone as he wanted to be sure of good network coverage and I discovered that despite the website saying it's 'good' in our area, I found places with no coverage yesterday. Home and the other end of town have both been good.

When I came in last night, DH had the heating on. So much for 'flaming June'! It was just right and the house is still warmer (possibly drier air?) this morning.

I downloaded a book from the Kindle offers the other day and my (old) Kindle is refusing to open it so I've been reading on the app. I guess the rot may have set in from Kindle refusing to update older models. For now, I'm holding out against replacing it. If reading on the app gives me access to newer books, that may work for me. I feel aggrieved at being expected to spend more with Kindle when they've devalued what I'd already bought from them. Besides, I might not have all those wretched adverts on another device! Or maybe I will…

My friend is coming round this afternoon so I am busy procrastinating about tidying up. I need to get there soon, or at least go out and buy something to drink as she's not a tea or coffee person. If I go sooner, I may avoid the possible rain. I've put off church cleaning till tomorrow, but at least I'm not on duty on Sunday and have done my team leader stuff for the week so it will be just cleaning.

Well, here's my To Do list in order to get me moving:

Get dressed

Empty work bags

Go to shops

Tidy lounge

Get stuff ready for work later

Do timesheet

If there's any time spare, pot on a houseplant or two. So many are struggling in their current pots which are too small and the compost must be exhausted.

I've just booked my sleep clinic phone consultation… next April. Perhaps it's time I took the weight loss a little more seriously, so the wait won't be wasted time.

On a completely different subject, I've been pushing myself with Duolingo and have finally gone up to another stage, partly thanks to a couple of people who have added me to their free trials of something or other. Feeling very pleased with myself! Who knows, I might actually eventually be able to go to France without worrying about headaches from trying to translate all the time, and if that's the case, and I could enjoy it in much the same way as going to an English-speaking country, it would take out some of the stress I get over holidays. Not that I'm anywhere near fluent but I'm certainly better than I was.

I actually got all my list bar the timesheet done, grabbed some cheese and onion rolls from Mr T rather than make lunch (and resisted eating a third one: the rest are in the freezer for now) then had a nice afternoon with my friend catching up on news and comparing experiences.

Work this evening was two and a half hours.

We had some more of the sweet potato dish for tea and there's still a small amount left over.
