Morning all. Hope everyone is well. The garden thermometer said 3 degrees when I let Rosie out, but there's no wind so it felt a lot warmer than it has been recently.
So far today I've
- completed Wordle in 4, Strands with one hint, but only 2 lines of Connections
- done a quick finance check
- emptied the kitchen compost and left the bin in soak
- emptied other bins from kitchen / utility / study
- cleaned the toaster
- wiped finger marks off the oven door
- loaded DW; PUPA and wiped round kitchen; decluttered 4 unused string dishcloths into the Donate box - I must not buy that sort again, as I dislike the feel of them when they are wet!
- PUPA in LR and utility; deadheaded cut flowers; watered all pots indoors
Still to do:
- strip my bed
- wash and dry bedding plus a few other bits
- start our evening meal in the SC
- walk Rosie
- file more of the ancestors
- remake my bed
- go to the AGM of the local NT Group (not to volunteer for a place on the committee, but to hear the NT speaker after the business meeting).
Why is it that three of the groups that I belong to all meet in the 2nd week of the month? This week I shall hopefully get to all three, but some months I can't get to any of them.

Still wet and cold here.Daily stuff donePizza tonightMole has been busy I have another molehill.I am now getting bored with the weather, I want to power wash drive and patio, but there is no point until the mud stops.I want to weed, but the soil is just compacting down when I walk on it, I have done the bits I can reach from the paths.Lawn needs cutting but again it is too early, (bugs still hibernating) and too wet.Started a jigsaw as I'm so bored, but cat 2 thought it would be a good idea to lay just where I was working and 'play' with the pieces, pushing somw on to the floor for cat 3 to pat about.Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Evening all,
Currently winding down atm...completed list for today:
✔️Open windows
✔️Air & make bed
✔️Last night's dishes
✔️Today's dishes
✔️Kitchen floor vacuumed
Living Room & hallway
✔️Cleaned out vases and wiped down surfaces
✔️Dusted skirting boards, window sills, pictures & the radiators
✔️Cleared away gibble - I have some DvDs without cases which I will sort tomorrow.
I don't have a DW so getting the dishes done on a daily basis is a goal for me. It's one of my least favourite tasks but what a difference it makes having a clean worktop in the morning!

- gym swim via one road closed and 2 sets of road works
- work. Lots of archiving and met a nice new student who hopefully I can continue supporting. Was emailed about another although she wants supporting via Zoom which isn't my favourite; I prefer face to face.
- finished consolidating sewing boxes. Now have one neater but easier to get at box, while my 'old' one plus various threads, upholstery tools etc will go to a friend who does more sewing and upholstering than I do (that's not hard).
- paid cc bill.
- paid balance of splashback invoice.
Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.8 -
Morning. Hope you're doing well.
Wordle in three. Paid stuff and having my hair cut today. I didn't dust around and under kitchen appliances yesterday so even if that's all I achieve today I'll be pleased. A rough night. Still full of cold and Poppet was sick twice.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.8 -
morning all
WM, Dw and TD x 1

Morning all,
Kaz, I feel your pain about the weather and not being able to get out and do jobs.
After many nights in the WAC, I succumbed last night to the lure of half a tablet. Oh the bliss of sleeping through, waking up at 7.30am. I have hit the ground running (well, it’s all relative) this morning - yoga done, bedding that I changed yesterday is in the wm, overnight oats being eaten (thank you Valli for the nudge here. I did oats religiously when I was at work, so why did I fall out of that habit?). Today is designated Admin Day, yawn, but needs must. DD and I rifled through a load of crafting bits yesterday, so that room also needs to add to my list for tidying up. But on the plus side, some bits left with her. DH has gone to the f&v market, has a grocery c&c to pick up and other errands to run this morning. I gave him a list 😈.
Seed potatoes have just arrived - hurrah. Egg boxes have been saved for that very purpose.6
