Thursday

 Morning, one and all.  How are you today?
It's dry outside (and a bit chilly) and yesterday, after some early drizzle, cheered up no end and we had some lovely sunshine, so mush so that I dried my washing on the line.  Lovely!

I got my shopping done in Sainsbury's and didn't go anywhere near the clothes.  See the halo???
I did, however, get a totally unnecessary box of Christmas pasta - which I will still be using next August, I have no doubt!  Oh, well!

I got an email about something I had forgotten.  Just after the Yarn Festival in June/July (I forget exactly when), I went onto the site of one of the stall holder who was an OU friend and ordered one of her yarn Advent Calendars.  Yes, it was eye wateringly expensive but there you go.  Dad's money had come though (or some of it) and I treated myself.  Anyway, the email was to say it was being posted out (it's already paid for, phew) this week so I should get it at some point in the next few days.
Behind each door is some posh yarn and there is a project to use up the yarn.  I'm not sure what this year's project is but it should be fun and, perhaps, a bit challenging.  It's nice to have something to do during the dark evenings and the C2C blanket will certainly be finished by the beginning of December - the rows are getting much shorter again now and then it's just the edging.

Personal Training was also good although I was so tired after Tuesday's bad-sleep night that my balance was even worse than usual.  Not to worry - I left Lindsey's feeling much more energetic and cheered up as I always do.  I think she sprinkles her studio with magic sparkle dust!  (sorry!!)
And she has given me some balance exercises to work on before next week.

While today has started very early, it's not the stupid half past one start of  Tuesday night and I've slept really well.

I've already started a load of washing(to take advantage of the cheaper rate) but I'll leave them in the machine until I can, hopefully, hang them out on the line.

Chris is coming over a bit earlier than usual, as she had friends coming over for lunch, and then the rest of the day is free.  I have housework, obviously, and clearing and sorting out, but I think it will be an easier day all round which is nice.

So that's today.  Is yours a busy day or a comparatively easy day?  What do you like doing on your easier days - or is that not a thing in your life.
Whatever your plans, I hope you can make it a really good day.  Stay happy!  xx

  1. Morning Joy,
    I chuckled to myself about your Christmas Pasta!! I managed to secure my online Christmas shopping slot and added lots of stuff to just get through the checkout from the home page. I set myself some reminders on my phone to go in and ammend the order a few days before else we will be having a bottle of orange gin liquer, ten packs of ladies black tights and a box of crackers for cheese for Christmas Dinner! I don't think EDF are part of that cheaper electric scheme. Something else for me to investigate x

    1. I've had a good old chuckle over your possible Christmas dinner but that's the way to do it. Those slots go so quickly, don't they? I used to online shop when I worked but now I just go first thing before it gets busy and that works fine. Anything I forget I can walk round to Morrisons to get or we can just do without. We never starve!! xx

  2. How lovely to have the surprise of an already paid for Yarn Advent calendar to look forward too. You'll have to share every day with us and show us what you make. Christmas pasta sounds fun, I've just spent quite a lot of money on some yellow pea pasta ... not Christmas shapes unfortunately ... but I'm glad I did it tastes amazing. I did have a 40% off discount code so it could have been even more expensive!!

    1. I've heard of that. It's good to know it's nice because I agree, it is costly! xx

  3. All my days are easier days......that's because I'm basically lazy!
    At least it's stopped raining and it supposed to be warm enough for shorts at the weekend which would be a surprise

    3. I'm glad it's not too bad. Does it mean snow your way?

  4. I do wish we had a time that power usage was a bit less expensive, but we don't so I am going with the flow and managing to have full loads before I think of washing anything.

    Snow overnight and cloudy all day. I think winter is here now.

    God bless.

    1. It's probably something we should have been doing anyway, for the sake of the environment. Now we have to for the sake of our pockets.

      Has the snow arrived yet? xx
