Friday

Morning, everyone.  Another early start here but I really don't mind.  When I had these wakey spells, I used to worry about how I would get through a full day at school but now it really doesn't matter all that much apart from being a bit of a bore!

Yesterday was nice.  I went early to the allotment.  The water is still on so everything got a drink and, as neck and shoulder were feeling OK, I set to and prepped the last of the ground that isn't going to remain covered this year.  Now it's a question of maintaining it all until it's time to plant out the little plants so now I'm planning where everything should go.  We agreed not to put in loads of anything but you know what things like courgettes are like.  Two plants can supply the whole neighbourhood once they get going!
Eleven broad bean plants now!

My day's have definitely fallen into a pattern.
Up earlyish, sort out meals for the day, do any clearing/tidying (e.g. washing in/unload dishwasher)
Off to the allotment by nine for a couple of hours.  If not at allotment, do exercise inside.
Back by eleven for breakfast
Any more housework/garden work.
Then, after all that's done, I sit and read, sew, knit, do more leisurely things, have online chats, etc, in the afternoon and evening

Thinking back to childhood, that's very much how my Mum used to organise her day with one addition; she would wash and change before Dad came home from work.  That's partly because housework was much more manual and less machine supported so she got hot and sweaty but also because one just did before the 'man of the house' came home.

The studying has taken a back seat but the weather can't always be as lovely as it is now and when the rainy times come, I won't go to the allotment and can use that time for study.  There's no urgency really.

Having gone on about routine, today is different, a special day.
I'm going shopping early, as early as I can, to get some nice bits and bobs.  The deferred personal training is at ten, after which I will just do the watering down the allotment - can't miss that with baby plants and warm, sunny weather.
Then the rest of the day is mine to enjoy.  Normally, I'd probably go out for a meal or have family round but that isn't going to happen this year so I'm having a nice dinner by myself.

Hoping we all have a very good day.  xx
