Monday

Good morning, everyone.  It's still extremely dark out there

First thing, as I was getting dressed, I took all the winter skirts out of my wardrobe, the ones I hadn't discarded last time I did a sort out, and took a long hard look at them, trying them on and deciding on whether I would keep them or now.  On the way to the allotment, I dropped a bag of them in the Sally Army recycling point.  It made a very satisfying 'thud' as it went in.
I've now disposed of just about all my old school clothes.

It was very pleasant down the old allotment yesterday.  The sun came out, there was a fresh breeze and it was quiet and peaceful.  I de-weeded and forked over where the new potatoes had been, finding one potato that we had missed before and then I harvested.  I really don't mind the hard work when I come home with this.

I spent nearly an hour going through my old performance management folder from school which was crammed with out of date certificates, old management review records, etc, etc, etc.  I quickly decided that there was absolutely no need to keep any of it so, with some glee, I shredded the lot!  Yay!

Still on the subject of coats, etc, I bought this in Matalan earlier on in the week.  It's a one size and basically a rectangle - very, very simple, but it looks really good.  I shall be able to use the shape to make another one, if I want to.  I haven't worn it yet but I think it will look smart.  What do you think?

Today is a swimming day but I'm going later on because at some point this morning someone is turning up to hammer a little dent from my car and I don't want to miss either that or swimming.
Then later on tuition starts for the new term so it is all go today.
I do like a busy day as long as it's not too busy for comfort!
