25-01-25

Morning, everyone, and I hope everyone is OK after yesterday's storm which, I gather, will still be impacting some areas through today and maybe into tomorrow.  
I texted John and he said there was some damage to a stone wall and, when he went out to secure a few pots, he couldn't keep to his feet so he went back inside again - and he's a six footer!  However, apart from that, all is well for him, thankfully.  I wish that it were same for everyone.

Round here it truly was just a gusty breeze.  Not a pot moved!  It was lovely and sunny too and I got two loads of washing line dried.  We have been so fortunate.  

We had a lovely surprise at Slimming World yesterday when Jen (our former consultant until she moved north) turned up to be weighed.  She was back down to attend a wedding.  It was absolutely lovely to see her again and she was warmly welcomed.

I had to rush to Morrisons again when I discovered that something I needed had run out, which was annoying but there you go.  I thought I had a spare and I didn't!   I intended to get four but there were only two on the shelf so I had to be content with that.  I also grabbed a few more food bank items while I was there and I think I have my 31 things now, one for each day of the month, so I can drop them off next Thursday.

The rest of the day was spend washing, drying, ironing, knitting, chilling.  Nothing too energetic and I managed to stay awake until bedtime, thank goodness.  I did a bit of weed scraping and tackled the coat hangers for my sorting - I swear these plastic hangers reproduce when I'm looking the other way!!!

There's nothing in the diary for today or tomorrow but I am getting excited for Monday because I'm off to London with the Broomfield Coach people to see Oliver at the Gielgud Theatre.  Quite apart from the fact that I love the musical anyway, I looked up the reviews and just wow!  I've never read such good reviews before.  I think we are in for an absolute stunner of an evening.

Time to wrap this up and start the day, I suppose.  It's clear and dry outside and the trees are just gently moving in the breeze.  Sunshine is forecast for all day so I guess it's a great day to get the bedding washed.  
Anyway, enough waffling.  Take care, stay warm and have a lovely day, everyone.  xx

  1. It's lovely to see the sun again and blue sky. It's still quite cold, but it is winter, after all!
