Good morning, everyone.  How are you today?  February has started, the days are getting longer, the early evenings lighter and the sun is a bit higher in the sky.  The spring bulbs are showing and the snowdrops are out.  There's not much of a show here as the were pretty disturbed while the walls were being rebuild at the end of last year and this year I really must remember to take a few photos to help me remember where they need replenishing - all the bulbs, not just the snowdrops.

I do love to see those fresh, green spikes showing against the dark earth.

As the BBC promised, yesterday was a lovely day, sunny and mild.  Today doesn't look nearly as promising but it's expected to stay dry all the same.  I'll take that with gratitude!

After my online SET class (energetic) and my coffee and chat at Chris' house, I finished off the ironing, finished auditing the freezer and made a meal plan for the coming week - it's not tablets of stone but it's a helpful guide and informs my shopping list which is pretty tiny this week.  I finished off the SEND report and sent that off, much to my relief.
Then I did some tidying.

I realised that a lot of the above (not all) was avoidance tactics so I gave myself a ticking off, got out the window cleaning stuff and started with the garden room as those windows were awful.  They're much better now although I think I'll give them another going over reasonably soon.  I also did both the French windows and the little living room window on the outside before starting to feel just a bit chilly.
I'll do the insides today - they're nowhere near as bad - and, as the upstairs windows are tilt and turn, I can get them done much more easily and without going outside.

And I have just remembered that the shed door has some glass in it so I'll do that first.

First of all, though, it is Slimming World (back on it properly now) and my little shop, then home and breakfast.
Not a busy day at all so should be nice and restful.
