Good morning sistren xx

I'm up, made my bed, taken my meds,  turned over the calendars, completed Strands with no hints,  completed Wordle in TWO (pure fluke. No letters turned up in my first word, so chose a random word made up up of five more letters and my jaw actually dropped as they all turned over green!), completed Connections with no lives lost,  eaten breakfast and I'm supping brew 2.

I'm visiting H for coffee and a catch up at 1.30 pm. The rest of the day is mine. Bliss.

Morning all

Felt unwell yesterday so early to be last night.  E ded up with side effects from meds so that explains it.  Still got decorator in so housework minimal but laundry all done.  

Checked my NI record as per email.  Is exemplary.

Morning all,
Off to see the physio shortly about my troublesome leg.  We will see.  In the meantime, I have stripped and remade the bed and dusted upstairs.  I’ll set the wm to go when I get back.
I actually managed a decent amount of downstairs flying yesterday, mostly as I was procrastinating over making a phone call. Eventually I made the phone call and had to leave a message.  Heavens to Betsy, if they didn’t actually call back. Long story short, the frog has been munched, the numbers given were incorrect for what I wanted and the revised numbers have been requested urgently.  And I put it off for so long because…??
In the afternoon I joined the sisterhood ( is this the same as the sistren 🤔, looking at Round for clarity) and did some transplanting and general faffing  in the gh. It got to dinner time (easy freezer meal on the plan) and I am slicing a ton of veg for a stir fry, when I remember that dinner was an easy freezer meal.  Ah well, the joys of a flexible meal plan 😊.

Morning all.  It was grey and dismal yesterday, but this morning I was woken by the sun, and although it looks as if we have cloud coming over right now, the sun might pop its head out occasionally throughout the day.

Don't overdo things and GWS Jazee x
MMM, good luck tomorrow with the last of this batch of exams x

Because DH went out to a lunchtime meeting and didn't get back until about 3.30, I had a productive day yesterday:
- stripped my bed and suggested that DH could do his own (he did)
- WM and short TD x3, so the bathroom now looks like Widow Twankey's
- made coffee for K and helped her with a complicated enquiry, but also found time to help her make up the beds again
- Rosie went out with L; on their return I decluttered a vegan fruit cake to L for her upcoming weekend away in a Welsh cottage with her family
- also gave K a jar of (very good) plum jam and another of (lumpy and runny but still tasty) blackberry
- cleared my desk and filed loose papers
- ordered flowers for our friend in the East (of England) to be delivered tomorrow for her 80th birthday
- went out to buy her a special card, but the ones that had '80' on them were dire, so ended up with an RSPB card with a happy blue tit sitting on a branch of cherry blossom, which made me smile - and I wrote and posted the card before returning home
- made a GF lemon drizzle and some Twinks for the Old Wives' meeting
- cleaned the kitchen, including mopping the (bits of the) floor that needed it
- asked DH to hoover the carpeted areas downstairs, dust his own bedroom and clean his ensuite, which he did, and I could see a considerable difference, however I ... 
- ... gave the ensuite a bit more sparkle and put out a fresh towel for guests
- took a video call from our friend in the East, chatted for about half an hour
- after our evening meal, DH went out again - this time to extra wargames - and I had a very pleasant evening with 4 other Old Wives, just drinking tea, eating cake and chatting
- did my Spanish lesson before the witching hour.

I feel a lot better after having broken the magnetic spell of the ancestors (of course they're now sitting on the shelves and complaining about being confined to boxes, but they'll just have to wait for a while) and achieved all that.  I've made my list for today and hope to get through the pile of outstanding admin well before lunch.  K has just phoned and added to it!

Hope everyone else has had a good start to the week xxx

There are many, many jobs I hate doing in the house, dusting being a particular bete noir, but my real *loathe* is cleaning the oven.

I am cleaning the oven today.  It has not been done for years, and despite the fact that we very rarely use it now it really, really needs it.  The shelves are soaking in the bath with bio washing powder, I have bulk bri1lo-type pads and I'm using evil chemicals in the oven, and the instructions say the evil chemical can stay on overnight if necessary.  It probably will be.

I have also already cleared up after the dog as I have to most days at the moment but this time it's not because she made a mistake, it's because she pushed past me on the stairs while I was carrying a cup of coffee and the coffee slopped all over the carpet.  *sigh*  I love this dog, obviously, but I do wish her confidence would increase so she didn't get so worried by everything.  She's been to the vet, there's nothing wrong that they can find so I know this is emotional and I don't know how to reach her.  I think she was a bit thrown by me not feeling at all well last month.

Every flat surface in house now dusted.  Going to puzzle now before going out.

Enjoyed my HH in the garden but it's getting chilly and my hands are cold, so I've come in for HH indoor flying before lunch 😋

The oven is sparkling.  The racks and shelves are having their second soak after their scrub in the bath, and if I have the energy I'll bri1lo them again before putting them back in, but either way they're pretty sparkly too. 

It wasn't that bad a job in the end thanks to having the right products to do the job.  Scrubbing ovens is not the way forward for me.

Evening, full of GS cough and cold and feel like pants. The jobs done have been done over the last 3 days.
Hoovered landing, hall and staircase.
DW x2
WM x1
Bathroom cleaned, windows and floor still to do.
I deserve a medal for Monday as I spent most of the day with DD1, GS, DD2 and my parents!
Today DD2 and I did my parents food shop.
I managed to get a nap cos I'm not sleeping at night due to the cough, but don't feel any better for it. How does GS still have energy?! 
Fridge leftovers for dinner as I CBA
