Thursday

 Good morning, everyone.  Thursday already - this week seems to have flown along.  It's a dull old start to the day, unlike yesterday which was sunny and frosty.  Maybe it will cheer up later on.  I do hope so.

I thought this entry wanted a bit of brightening up so here's Door Stop Robin.   :-)

I got a fair amount done yesterday.  It started with the weekly shop, at Morrisons this week.  Definitely more expensive than Aldi but Aldi doesn't do Cointreau (for feeding the cake, promise) and Morrisons does.  I also got some Christmas Crackers for The Day.  Every year I say I won't bother and every year I get some.  They just makes the dinner table look more festive.

Once that was all away, I got on with housework stuff.  More washing = more ironing.  Thart's a task for later on today.

In the afternoon, I decided to tackle THAT drawer.  You know - the one everyone has that contains batteries, old keys, Allen keys, radiator keys, keys to the meter cupboards, tools, etc.
Oh, my word, what a mess it was,  I had no idea there were so many keys in there and the annoying thing is that apart from a few, I have no idea what they lock or used to lock so really don't want to throw any away, just in case.  I wish I'd labelled them properly first time round.
It took a while but it's now all neat and tidy with everything sorted out and in bags.  At least now I know what's in there.

Encouraged by this, I tackled the tea towel and general wiping cloths drawer and that's now much more organised too.

The bathroom cupboard will just have to wait!

Today is a sociable day.  Chris is coming over for our weekly coffee and natter so I've done a bit of tidying up.  There's lots to talk about after missing last week.  And then either Val is coming over for lunch or I'm going to Val's and then on with her to Cressing Temple for lunch.  We'll decide which in a little while - it's too early yet.
And there's that ironing - again!  Ah, well, it keeps me out of trouble.

Have a great day, everyone, and stay warm and dry.  xx
