Monday, 30-01-23

Morning, everyone.   I woke at stupid o'clock for the first time in a while but, to be fair, I went to bed quite early and fell asleep quickly so I thing I've had my fair share of sleep.

It's not cold out at the moment and it's dry.  We ended up with some lovely sunshine round here yesterday . . .

. . . and we had an amazing sunset.

The photos have come out too red - it was closer to a very intense pink really.

I'm glad I caught it.

Beth and Alex came over for a roast dinner and a chat.  It's pretty much the only time I have a roast dinner - roasting for one is a bit lavish - although I do freeze leftovers.  It's not quite the same thing though, without the cooking experience.
(not complaining, just saying!)
In the afternoon, we talked holidays.  For several years now, the three of us have wanted to take another holiday at Center Parcs together.  Covid put paid to that for a while but it's time to think again so we looked up some prices, etc, for later on in the year - September/October time, maybe.  It will be nice if we can get it organised although it's not so simple now Beth has to book time off.

I didn't do much else except for sorting out parts of the fridge.  The top shelf and the doors were rather crammed with sauces, jars, etc - the stuff that needs to be chilled once open.  After chucking away everything that was going fluffy, I made a note of what was left, wiped everything down and put it all back neatly.  Another tick on the list - yay!
The rest of the fridge was fine, it was just the jars, etc.

Today is the usual Monday.  There's a Snippet first thing (a short exercise routine) and later on it is Circuits at the studio.
I'm leaving any washing for Wednesday so all the stuff I want to take with me to Five Lakes is clean and not re-worn.  
I often do a food shop on Mondays but I won't need to do one this week.  I'm out of milk but have some almond milk in the freezer so can have that, if needed.  I'm also out of carrots but will ride that disaster!  :-)

I'm trying to think of what I fancy decluttering today.  I do need to sort through my shoes and there's always the chunky/Aran yarn, if I can find the boxes.

Also, I must start to gather things together for next weekend.  It won't be complicated but I must remember things like swimming cossie and sportswear.  If I do forget anything crucial, it's only an hour for both home and back but, obviously, I would rather not!

I'm sure I will find stuff to fill the time . . . on the other hand, next week looks super busy in places so I will work to feel no guilt at taking it easy in advance.   😉
What are your plans for today.
