 Morning, everyone.  We woke up to quite a frost this morning but it's starting to go and the sun might break through at some point.  We will see.

Yesterday was just one of those days where there was hardly room to breathe with things just come one after the other, bam, bam, bam.

I got all the shopping done - three shops and a petrol station.  The nice thing about going early is that rarely are there more than a few people waiting to check out so one doesn't have to hang around for very long.  Between the three shops, I got pretty much everything on my list so am well set up for a few weeks now (longer, in some cases), but it did take quite a long time.

Interestingly, there were no obvious shortages of salad vegetables in any of the shops I used and no restrictions either.  Expensive - very definitely, but they were available.  I now have a shedload of tomatoes to use up - lovely!

 Getting it all sorted out and put away took longer than usual and entering the amounts into this months spread sheet was a bit eye watering but, hopefully, there won't be much more expense for a few weeks now although, having said that, I have the lovely Sharon coming to do my hair tomorrow . . . ah, well!

Then it was time for a slightly rushed lunch before a Teams meeting at two.  It was good but I had to leave it a bit early to rush over to Lindsey's for personal training (I was a bit late but that was OK) where I enjoyed a good work out and endured the bad news that it was the last session in the block.  So when I got home, out went another wodge of money for the next block.  Oh, well, it is what it is!

Once home again, I was able to relax a bit and it was a very pleasant evening.

Today starts with the online SET class and then Chris is over for coffee and chat.  The only other thing is that the part for the tumble dryer should arrive at some point and it is just a question of taking the old part out (and chucking it) and inserting the new, I sincerely hope.

So this afternoon, I may sort out ten things in the shed (if that is possible) and there's a cupboard in the kitchen that I didn't go through in January because, really, it didn't need it but I think I will as it's baking stuff and I ought to check dates, etc, not to mention the question of have I actually used any of it for years?

And that is today.   I've just made some tomato and red pepper soup for lunch (it smells lovely) so I'm all set.  How about you?  What are your plans for today?  xx
