Living Large, on a Small Income, by the Sea.

Thanks @kayannie yes it was a glorious day here too 
Thanks @Sunshine_girl2 your new idea for an income stream sounds interesting...
Thanks @joeyjimbles the problem is not yet having enough spaces to put things away in. So, they float in limbo land until I can think of somewhere...plus kitchen is so small. That said I am very thankful for my space. It just needs organising...

You're not the only one with a small kitchen. When I tell anyone that hasn't seen it that I can stand in the centre of it & reach the cooker, fridge, freezer & sink, they think I'm joking, but I'm not! There's not even room for a table or even a breakfast bar. Also, the units & wall tiles are firmly set in the 1950's!  And if I don't put things away straight away, there's no room for other things!

Having said that, I do, like you, live at the sea & I have a wonderful sea view & that makes up for a sub standard kitchen! One day it WILL get updated, 🤞

Yes @kayannie if I am ruthless about clutter (I'm not really....) and use the space well it is enough for my needs although I would love to be able to fit in a small table... Ah well, as you say we have the sea

Dia, who needs a kitchen table when you can enjoy your first coffee of the day by the sea

Now that is the stuff of dreams

So, this morning started with me spilling the stove top coffee into my omelette! I am so clumsy lately. I slept poorly too. Cramp in my calves. Low energy but forced myself to the sea for a walk. Picked up some fruit in marksies and some bread and milk for the guests. I picked up a few bits I needed from the health shop too. 

Dishwasher on 
Chicken in the slow cooker

Habit making

• all supplements taken
• 10/20 table press-ups
• 10/20 chair squats
• daily walk
• 10/20 tricep dips 

Found the yoga poster I've been looking for since moving in, but the shop had a queue so will get it laminated tomorrow

Shopped from home for a gift and a card for one of the guests. I bought a little cake so we will have that later too

Reorganised around the front door. Now all shoes go in a trunk near the door. There is a seat for putting on shoes

My bones/joints all hurt today (even my fingers!) not sure why...

That's it. 

I hope your week started well

Hope your aches ease off soon.  Well done on the exercise!

A very productive day despite aches and clumsiness, for which you have my full sympathy.
You had a very full-on domestic cleaning and clearing day yesterday, might aches be from being in odd positions?
Around the front door space sounds fab, I was thinking about a chair to take shoes off on earlier but just don't 'ave the diameters

Well done still getting stuff done despite not feeling 100%. Are you drinking enough water as that could be why you’re getting cramp in your calves?
