Hoovering done, loads of cat hair.

Small shop done

Walking done 10K, I'm so pleased I can get to 10K even if it is taking me about 2 hours.

Seeds found, and sorted into dates to sow. Going to get started tomorrow.

Hi all

Back from a lovely few days away with DH, and the thought of going back to work is sending me into a spin.  Still, I have the weekend to enjoy first.

DH is still job hunting, it's shocking how poor communication is from companies who are advertising for staff.  I have shared my worries to DH about him working full time and the housework all falling back on me again but he says that won't happen.  We shall see.  What I do know is that we need to be a bit better organised with the housework/home admin stuff.

I won't be late to bed.  Tomorrow the rest of the holiday gibble needs putting away,  the car needs washing and I have some paperwork to sort through. The WM is on.

My friend J was not feeling well today so had to cancel our trip out for the second time.  We were planning to go to he temporary exhibition at the art gallery in Millennium City, which ends next weekend, but just in case J is not well next week either, I decided to go today anyway, and DH said he'd like to come with me.  The exhibition (of works by Evelyn de Morgan) was excellent, and I shall be more than happy to go again next week with J, if she still wants to see it.

Before we went out I FUPA all the clean washing and did the dailies.  When we got home I took Rosie for an extra walk, thinking that L had come for her as usual while we were out, but then I got a message from her to say that she'd only managed to give Rosie a very short walk because her car had broken down.  It was a good thing that I managed to walk as far as the Covert and back, to wear Rosie out a bit!

This evening I have finished decorating the chocolate muffins that W and I made on Monday - they are destined for the church coffee morning tomorrow - and had a long chat with an old schoolfriend.  A good end to a good day.  Now I must do my Spanish lesson (I'm well past the 150 day streak ) and then get myself off to bed a bit earlier than I managed last night.

Hope you all enjoy the weekend xxx

I have a copy of the Dairy Book of Home Cookery also. Bought in Hay on Wye. I seldom ever get to cook as I can only stand for a couple of minutes at a time without a lot of pain. but I just love reading cookbooks. I have several hundred which I am weeding out - very slowly.

 Morning all.  Hope the poorlies are improving.  Thanks for your message HB.

Up early today and it's March. Woohoo!  Wordle in three, one line on connections and strands with two hints.  Just had first cuppa.  

Going to pace myself today but will hopefully achieve flying inside and out.

Have a great day everyone.

Morning all xx 

It's weeeeekeeeennnd - just in case anyone has forgotten. 

When I got in from work yesterday I cleared the airer: FUPA towels, put bath mats down in bathroom, stood back and admired clean bathroom floor with clean bath mats on top, and put away the airer. 

This morning I'm up, made my bed, completed Strands with no hints,  completed Wordle in four,  only managed one line on Connections and I'm supping brew two. 

It's another frosty one. Hopefully it will kill a few bugs. I still have a sore throat and I'm sneezing a lot, but I'm hoping it won't develop into a fully blown cold.

I've also washed my hair (accidentally! Brain fogging this morning and stuck my head under the shower without thinking. Argh. Oh well, I've started I'll finish. 😊)

That same brain fog saw me about to add my sweetener to the washing up bowl and not to my cup of coffee. Caught myself in time. 🙃

I've also poured hot water onto the ice in the bird bath so the birds can have a drink if they want to. But that was on purpose 😉

Having a coffee while the pots soak.

At least you didn't sup from the washing up bowl round .....

So, DH has gone off to work with my car keys.  We do have a spare but it's unreliable and you sometimes have to use the key which sets the alarm off (not that anyone takes any notice).  I am not too bothered but I was going to go into town for provisions and have a bit of a wander round the shops. 

Instead I have completely emptied the tins/packets cupboard, cleaned and reorganised it, hung 2 loads of washing out and sorted some holiday bits.  I am now going upstairs to put some clothes away.  Then it's admin and finance spreadsheets.

Oh and I better find something in the freezer for dinner as I can't go to the shops!
