Steadily climbing the mountain, enjoying the view along the way

Thanks @Brie and I do rather agree @daisy_1571 and @greenbee …

Finished work for the week and have managed to throw some food down my neck, corner Mr KK into working on a meals list with me for the week and my counselling session. The latter was pretty intense! 😳 Not in a bad way but it has kept me feeling pretty exhausted and burnt out. I have no great ambitions for the rest of the day …

Online shop, cook dinner, have a shower and that’s about it I think.

Have a lovely evening and day doing whatever the heck pleases you 🥂

Whoohoo for discovering annual leave spare

My understanding is that it was set up years ago and there was a plan to make it more meaningful but that's gotten lost along the way a bit. And the system has changed several times and the points have just remained ticking upwards.

I have honestly never noticed them before

Never noticed the points either and as I'm trying to spend less time on scrolling ….. best not look 😀

I did get out into the garden by 7am this morning, with all protections in place! Dug and cleared for long enough to make space to get sweet peas in around the new stand and protected with copper rings. Phew!

Tosco shop wrangled alone as Mr KK at a show.

Repotted every one of the houseplants around the TV stand in the lounge (the cheese plant had inserted its anerial roots into two other pots! 😳😂) and accidentally propagated some - bits fell off with roots! 🤷‍♀️😉 Once those wee ones have got their toes in, I will take them into work, as people quite enjoy my planty windowsill 😊

Deep cleaned the TV stand and that corner and then put all the plants back. Some of them are a bit mis, but I’m hoping with fresh compost and a good drink they will perk up now.

Did all my weeks washing and got it all back in 90% dry before the rain started.

Tried on all of the bizarre fish order that arrived today. Some of it (one dress) was just a touch small, but I’m keeping it because I love it and it gives me some incentive … 😉 washed the pale tops from this order ready for for work this week and they are on the airer in the conservatory. I will wash the dark ones tomorrow.

I have been quite restless today so haven’t managed to settle into a book as yet, but now I have done 12K steps, perhaps I will be able to settle now …

What a productive day, well done. I once found a cheeseplant had started bedding it's roots into the carpet 😳 I still blimmin love them though, top of my list of 'wants not needs' when we move

Hope you're enjoying winding down time. The snooker is on again on bbc at 7pm if you need lovely soporific background

Thanks @PennysIntoPounds 😊 The cheese plant is looking simultaneously sheepish and perkier! 😂

I finished digging the bed!! My spuds are in!! I can hardly move, but what the heck … I have time to recover before I go back to work. 🤩😉

Mr KK didn’t come home last night as planned - it was raining when the show finished and he didn’t want to drop his tent when wet and he’s told me today, something else about a mate’s GMC now being repaired, so I assume that had an issue as well … 🤔🤷‍♀️ It’s meant I have had a lovely long spell on my own. Just what I needed … 😉

I’m having the most bizarre, but polite conversation on LI with a guy (who’s showing the open to work banner) after he self confessed to being a toxic boss. I asked him what he meant by it and he said I would have to ask people in his contacts. I said that would be weird and perhaps he could. He said that would be self promotion. I said it wouldn’t and gave him the words to use … Most bizarre but highly entertaining. From here it feels like he is squirming like a two year old! 😂😂😉

Three loads of washing processed and dried but not yet put away. Next job 😊

Tried a new recipe for lunch. Curried, cheesy, butter beans with quick pickled red onion. Really good, an absolute keeper. 😊

love butter beans. They are featuring a bit in my menu plan as I have many tins. Current fav is with pasta rocket pumpkin seeds sun dried tomatoes and generous amounts of pesto.
