Weekly Flylady Thread 5th February 2018

LW I've only skimmed the last page (no time for more), so apologies if this out of context. I have a friend who generally only eats when and what she wants. She cooks for her DH, but they rarely eat at the same time. Sometimes she just has some nice bread and grapes or she saves her part of the dinner for later. They're both retired. Could Mr LW batch cook and freeze some meals under your supervision, so he's taken care off? Maybe in the SC, so it's as hassle-free as possible? Then you could help yourself to something easy as and when you're ready.

Tutoring today was postponed, probably until Thursday. The hound's appointment with the lovely vet's nurse went well and I hope he'll cope with his booster next week. Quite a few more jobs to do tonight, so no flying. I really, really can't wait for Friday.

She's a very wise dog - strange men worry me, too.

Kelpie thought that trying some of the agility obstacles in the training field was a rather good idea when treats were on offer - today we did all three tunnels including the one with a rightangle corner in it so he couldn't see me at the other end, a short set of weaving poles and a very low up and down ramp that his legs can handle. After exactly 40 mintues he trotted straight over to the caravan and made it very clear he wanted to go in there by standing on the doorstep - we only went in it last week as it started hailing 40 minutes into his one hour training session! This is a very, very intelligent dog who can remember everything he wants to, but chooses to forget anything that doesn't have a fistful of treats attached to it.

All of his smelly, grubby dog stuff is now in the WM so that I can chop up an old blanket of Dog's that he's chewed hundreds of holes in for his Snuffle Mat. Good old Morribunds, a holey doormat for £2 means it isn't going to cost anything like the ridiculous amounts I've seen them for on t'internet. It was snowing up on the training field which is at the same height of Dartmoor but about five miles away from it but it's now snowing on The Hoe so I can dry it all when it's depewified.

You've probably got a point about the caffeine. I rarely drink coffee outside work (the withdrawal headaches come half term were so bad last year, I dramatically reduced the number of cups I have in a day - it's now 2 very watered down ones by 2pm, rather than about six full strength and Red Bull throughout the day). But I used to drink coffee just before bed up to only a few years ago with absolutely no effect upon my sleep (out like a light before 11, up at just after 6):huh: I'm not that fussed with booze, so apart from my birthday, I think I've had one bottle of beer in a month - that won't be affecting my sleep; I think a bit of proper greenery and a good blast of fresh air from the Sound will help.


Me & Himself will probably be partaking of the rain on the Hoe by next Tuesday, as he's booked a couple of nights staying somewhere in Plymmy (after 2 nights in Glastonbury? Why?
He used to go to Glastonbury with his XW - I hope to God it isn't the same B&B), as it's the first place he insists we head for once we're off the train; it's how he knows he's home, apparently. Then we'll catch the bus to the nether regions of Dartmoor to stay at his Mum's until Sunday.

That means probably 2 and a half days spent mostly somewhere between the fireplaces of the Dolphin and the Minerva (lots of soft drinks!), seeing his Dad & Auntie, with a few occasions of rattling around junk shops for 'stuff' I can persuade him will be easily carried back on the train. Got any particular recommendations? I'm fond of (cheap) 40s and older stuff, as it doesn't seem to attract a premium price like Mid Century Modern and 50s things do. And whilst some people might say 'Oh, I collect kitchenalia, I prefer to say 'I don't mind buying secondhand kitchen things, music books, costume jewellery and occasional ornaments because they're indestructible/look well used without falling apart compared to the crud in the supermarket'.

Last time we were down, the charity shops weren't particularly impressive (although that was just as the Uni students were all turning up with their parents), but that might be because he isn't that up on the sort of things I like (other than the music books).


***********


Got home from the hospital (all good news, the meds are working but just not quite enough, so it'll be reviewed with the intent of increasing the dose next time) to find Himself had made me a mushroom risotto. An edible one, as well. He's now out rehearsing for this week's gigs and I think I'd probably better make an attempt at getting some clothes washed for packing.

Morning

Cat fed
Lunch made for work
OH is away last night, so I had all the bed to myself.!

Morning all,

Skin still dodgy and I have an infection in my eye, I look a delight :rotfl:

DH has no work booked in at all it hasn't been this quiet since he set up the business almost 8 years ago. A lot of what he does requires high level company board approval and the word is until we have a clearer picture on how Brexit will impact their businesses, no money is being spent . No work = no money and a very fed up DH. I am putting my OS hat on today and doing lots of batch cooking and eBay listing - if it's not nailed down it's going!

Best get a shuffle on, have lovely days all x
