 Good morning, everyone.  I was wrong about yesterday - half way through Groove, the sun came out and it was absolutely lovely, really spring-like.  It disappeared behind clouds from time to time but never for long.  It is actually raining as I type this but it may clear up later, fingers crossed.

I can't believe it is Wednesday already - it is seriously scary how quickly the days are passing.  Whether it is down to getting older, being busy or what - slow down, life! 

Although I didn't have a long list yesterday, I seemed to have plenty to do.

First thing was Groove.  As mentioned, half way through the sun broke through and you could feel the energy rise in the hall.  You could feel the warmth too - we do generate a lot of heat on the coldest of days - and I must start taking a towel or flannel with me now it's warmer again.  Anyway, it was a really fab session, most enjoyable and invigorating.

When I got home, there was an email from Jeff asking if he could possibly come at around twelve instead of the afternoon.  This actually worked better for Beth than the morning so that was good.  The garden definitely looks better now and the bulbs are brightening everywhere up so nicely!

I accepted Ray's quote for some work and now wait for him to say when he can do it all.

In the afternoon, I went round to Beth's and we sorted things out.  Ever since Alex was a very little boy, Beth has had a life insurance for his benefit that I have been finding and now she is on a firm financial footing it is time for her to take over the responsibility so that's what we did.  Like all these things, it was easier to do than we thought.
At the same time, I arranged for a smart meter to be installed - I've resisted them so far but my meter IS very old now and, what with the solar panels, etc, it makes a lot more sense.  So I have a date and time and now I can let the solar panel people know and get that arranged too.  Brilliant.
My goodness - all this adulting!

By the time I got home, it was chill, read and crochet time so that's what I did!  Nice.

Today, as I don't have anything scheduled until personal training, I thought I would take a drive into town to the Riverside retail park and have a look at clocks in Homesense.  I may also find myself wandering around Matalan too - I haven't been there for simply ages - and there's the new Iceland shop too plus Home Bargains and Poundland.  No, I don't intend buying anything unless I see a clock I really can't live without (!!) but you never know.  I'll probably have to dodge the raindrops but that's OK.

Now I have accepted Ray's quote, I really do have to get those drawers over my bed sorted so I am definitely starting on them between getting home from town and personal training.  It's a must now.

I do hope the rain stops and the sun comes out again during the day - it was so very pleasant yesterday, almost nice enough to sit out in the garden.  Wow.
What's it like your way today?  xx
