Phew. Caught up.
You've done all you can to avoid bringing in pest control but it is necessary.
Oh, and Lyme park isn't too far from me , though I've just checked and it's an hour 21 drive. On the list but not at Christmas!5 -
I thought of you this morning when I did a live yoga class with fairy lights on 😊I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

So. Candlelit yoga first thing, then work event - a productive day, and i got to the end of something I've been trying to finish forever - well, enough of an end to pass to someone else anyway. Pleased with that!
Another fruit profit 😂 this time largely melon 😂 most now in the freezer.
Went to see a friend who's rather under the weather, we had takeaway pizza for tea. Drove home through quite a lot of rain.
Ratman had been today, so we have several pots of poison dotted around the place, and he's identified where they're probably getting in, but we're not to block it yet while he's still baiting.
Mr C managed to drive the car into a fence post, and the bumper is hanging off 🙄 lashed back on with wire, and it's booked into the garage on Friday. So I'll take the other car to town tomorrow, he'll come later in the other one, which we'll leave at the garage, and I'll have to go back in the bus to collect it on Friday

Oh I don't mind a tiny bit of drama but I'm quite ready for a rest. I have NOT had enough sleep this week and I'm definitely feeling it this morning!
Still, today is an easy enough day 😊 an event, but I'm not involved in organising it. I'm chairing a session, but it's really just timekeeping in this case. Then a leaving do for our lovely boss 😕
And then that's it for work til 12th Jan 🥳 24 days off for just 4 days annual leave which is a pretty good deal in anyone's book 🥳 I am VERY ready for it!
Best get out of bed for yoga... just 20 minutes today. Going to pay to park in town again today - I've done it every day this week because quite frankly the week has been long enough without adding an hour of walking to each day 😬
Do need to do some banking tomorrow though... mm7 -
