Monday

 Good morning, everyone.  It's a misty start to the day but considerably milder than it has been and it's expected to morph into 'sunny intervals and a gentle breeze' - fine by me!

Despite looking very busy on paper, yesterday was a lovely, gentle day when everything went well.
The slow roast beef cooked to a T in the slow cooker, giving me lots of lovely stock.  The roasties fell out of the new muffin tray with no help whatsoever, the swim was great with not too many people there, we got the potatoes planted and the sweet peas out in the allotment and generally had a great time.

Today there's just one thing in the diary and that is my gym induction.  When I joined before, all I wanted to use was the pool so I never had any kind of induction.  Things can change so much, can't they?  I'm a bit nervous but also looking forward to it so fingers crossed!

There's stuff to do, of course.  I have a load of whites washing that will go on the line when they're done and a load of coloureds will then go in.  That means ironing later on.  I need to plan some meals and, maybe, pop to the garden centre for more potting compost although I need quite a lot so am considering making an online order for convenience.  I still have the tomato pots to fill and there's some seed potatoes left so I plan to do what I did fairly successfully several years ago and use extra strong refuse bags as growing pots for them - or some of them anyway.  At the end of the season, the compost can go down the allotment.

Well, better stop and get the day started with a bath.  Have a lovely day, whatever you have planned.  xx
