Wednesday

 Good morning, everyone!  Nearly six o'clock and it's still completely dark outside so I can't see what it's like but Beeb thinks it will be another gorgeous autumnal day today but rain is heading over and the next three days won't be great.  We will see, won't we?

I felt quite rough yesterday - all self inflicted.  There was the muggy head from Monday evening but also I felt a bit sore and achey from the circuits!  Nothing terribly bad, just enough to make me glad it was pretty much a free day.  I was tired too, going up to bed before eight yesterday and sleeping until just after five - nine hours, most unusual for me.  This morning I feel loads better so I need to catch up on blogs I follow!

Despite this, the motivation held and I sorted out all my old tuition stuff, shredding worksheets, plans, etc, and discarding books.  The curriculum has changed so much that most of the books are now obsolete and in not condition to hand on anyway which is a shame.  I've kept some which are either 11+ related or more helpful, just in case,  Never say never!

So now it is all neat and tidy on one shelf and I have an empty shelf for some old magazines I want to keep while I work through them, removing anything I will use.

There's one more shelf packed with sticky printer labels, folders, plastic pockets and wallets, etc, all in disorder so this morning I will get that all organised and then that task is done.  Yay!  After that, I will get the magazines away and clear a random gopak table that's been sitting in the corner for far too long, getting that into the shed.  A bit of furniture shifting and things will look so much better then. I think.

The only thing in the diary today is that Beth's probably coming round for dinner and a DVD but she will confirm that today at some point.  I'm assuming that she will be and will prep accordingly.

Well - time for a second coffee, I think, and the dishwasher needs emptying so I will get that done.  Have a happy day, whatever your plans.  xx

  1. Glad you're feeling better today, as am I - the migraine I had over the weekend really knocked me for six. It doesn't get light here now until 7 - but then you're east, we're west, so that's to be expected. Have a nice evening with Beth - what DVD are you watching? xx

    1. Yes, it's fairly light here now at around ten to seven.
      We're hoping to watch Les Mis - if Beth remembers to bring it over.

  2. Hope it does stay fine today - lots of errands to run - trying to do everything while I'm out to save diesel!
    Have a good day

  3. I know it is later but we have blinding sunshine and I have a pile of filing that has been haunting me so perhaps I will get it done.

    1. You're a couple of steps ahead of me. I am trying to ignore the overflowing clothes basket. I guess I ought to do some, given the lovely weather and the breeze < sigh >

  4. A good sleep often makes up for feeling a little off. Have a lovely afternoon with Beth - I thought both the bride's dress and Beth's outfit were grogeous by the way.

      Yes, I thought so too, lovely clothes.

  5. Yes, the forecast does look pretty grim for the next few days. I hope I can at least get the washing dried today. X

  6. Gosh the rain and the thunderstorm last night was amazing. The bedroom kept lighting up with the brilliance of the lightening and for a few minutes the storm was thundering directly overhead. It was the most thrills I've had in the bedroom for a long time ;-)

    1. That sounds amazing. I always miss night storms - the noise doesn't wake me up and I have blackout curtain linings. A shame really.

  7. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better today, even if the groggy feeling was self inflicted it's still miserable to feel less than 100%. Hope you both enjoy Les Mis tonight. Is it the film or one of the anniversary staged concerts? xx

    1. It was the film. Not the best singing in the world but there are compensations in the way of acting and scenery - visual impact in general, in fact.

  8. How wonderful that you are feeling better. Curriculum changes so quickly, but good for you on getting things cleared out.

    God bless.

    1. Thanks, Jackie. Self inflicted doesn't make it feel any better. lol
      It felt good to have a clear out and now the rubbish/recycling has been collected so it's all gone.
