Quit..rest ..restart . Diary no.3

Hi harz
No snow down here. Just rain showers , strong wind and cold of course:) .
It’s nice seeing snow but not nice when settles for a long time imho

Nice sunny day . Couldn’t go far except to the shop, as I’m expecting a dpd delivery of a picture for bedroom. Probably last one I need.
Chucked boxes and recycling material into newly emptied recycling bin . I have a large box that I got when I purchased a soundbar a couple of years ago. May have to wait 2 weeks to dispose of that .
I may introduce it to Stanley knife .

I’ll have to move stuff from hallway and into the music room to be sorted / dumped. I took stuff from the top of the wardrobe yesterday and I’m very reluctant to put anything back up there as the the room looks much more cheery without the clutter . I’m mulling everything over . Not feeling like doing much .

How are things AC? Any plans for the weekend?

Hi Mrs. P Hope all is good with you .
I should have James to have a look at the bathroom / kitchen issues tomorrow a m . May have a cider with my friend over the weekend.

I’ve spent the whole week reducing clutter in music and bedroom
I’m over 90% there now . Just deciding what to do with stuff under the bed ( no, don’t tell me :rotfl:)

I’ve been to gym today, and saw instructior on Monday .
Still have blood coming from my cut knee from 2 weeks ago.
Still a p I t a , but there are worse things :rotfl:

James came over yesterday . The first thing he noticed was that I had lost weight . He was also impressed with the way I’ve tidied the flat .
He noticed the leak in the bathroom ( around the toilet bowl ) and possible leak in kitchen . He will be back on weds to sort out. He said it comes under guarantee . Not sure if that covers his time for Labour
I’ve tipped him in the past etc , so don’t expect to pay a kings ransom.
I asked him to give me a quote for kitchen cupboards. He’ll let me know in the next few days. He measured up everything yesterday .

Just went out for a longish walk . I must get back into the habit of that. About 2 years ago on my way to poole for a weekend I bought a book in foyers, ‘the power of less’ by Leo babatua. I read a few pages on the train , and another few when I was at home in Twickenham .
I forgot all about it . Found it yesterday and stored reading it again from the start. I’m about halfway through . It’s basically a self help book . What I have done though, is list 12 tasks / goals that I want to achieve this year that are manageable and not something too challenging . Some boring run of the mill stuff, to things that will be seen as achievements . I bought one or two self help paperbacks over the years and this one seems to be the best so far.
I did buy one , “f@@k it”. It was ok , but very corporate in the end . I love chocolate , but can’t see myself buying a f@@k it chocolate bar .
Each one to his/ her own .
When I was talking to James yesterday and about the situation was in, I mentioned that so far the best thing to ask is , “do I need this?”
Something that I haven’t really seen in those self help books.

I joined audible last month. Not impressed with only 1 book a month. Then again , if I was sleeping more the book I listened to would’ve lasted longer . I may see if I can buy others online .
I can hear birds outside my window, but can’t see them. Will have to look into getting a decent bird feeder.
