Wednesday, 07-02-24

Hi again, everyone.  This week is speeding past - how can it be Wednesday already?  Mind you, over the weekend, Saturday felt like Sunday all day; it was a very weird sensation.  Do you get that sometimes, feeling it is one day when it is actually another and you know very well that it is another?

Anyway, Wednesday, and it looks as if the fine weather has broken.  It's not actually raining now but it has been wet overnight, starting yesterday early evening and, while we are not expected to get anything really cold or snowy, the temperature has definitely dropped again.  What's it like your way?

Cherie, I have been checking Spam and your comments haven't come through, sorry.  😒

Yesterday was another energetic day.  I went to Groove (great fun), I did the upstairs cleaning, etc, and changed my sheets which was lovely come bedtime, I made the lasagne which is now in the freezer, I did three loads of washing (one was my oodie which gets terribly heavy when wet so I just added a couple of jumpers and nothing else, plus a coloured wash and the bedding and low temperature whites) and I spend some time in the garden, mostly sorting out the plant pots, emptying the soil either into the brown bin or the compost heap, depending on how long it had been in the pot*, sweeping up crunchy leaves that kept blowing around in the wind and piling the pots in one place.

( * As I feed the tomatoes all through summer, I reckon the soil is reusable so it goes in the compost bin.  I don't know if that is right or wrong but that's what I do.  The brown bin stuff is also recycled by the council.)

As Dave and Anna are round for supper, I sat down and finished planning the meal.  I never do a formal starter, just have nibbles out when they arrive, but I need to get some stuff for the mains and any dessert we have (often nice fruit) plus some drinks.  So, as I'm running out of some salad stuff too and a few cleaning products, I made a shopping list and that's what I'm doing first thing.  I'll drive over to the Clock Tower precinct so I can use M&S and Aldi.

I feel no motivation to garden when it is wet so, while I might make myself do a bit, it won't amount to much.  However, I didn't get round to sorting out my jumpers yesterday so maybe I could do that.

And I have just remembered that I have a bit of governor's training I need to at least start so I must do that before the meeting this evening.

And it is personal training at Lindsey's studio too.  All a bit of a rush really so I will make sure my dinner is all ready to heat up and eat after the meeting as there won't be any time before.

And I have a bit of ironing but that might have to wait until tomorrow!

Phew - another busy day!  Wish me luck . . . and stay safe and warm, whatever you plan to do today.  xx
