Monday evening, 11-03-24

Evening, one and all, welcome to Monday evening.  It's been a dreary old day outside today; no rain, thankfully, but no sunshine either.  

Circuits was great this morning.  Almost a full group and some new exercises to work on, including a very stretchy one on the new standing rack.  We all had a go and we all managed it to some extent.
When I got home, I whizzed around to get downstairs a bit cleaner.  I wouldn't say it was a particularly deep clean but it was OK and I got everything finished, including lunch prep, before Mel turned up.

We had a good old chat and she described the garden remodelling she and her husband are planning for their garden.  It sounds exciting and should look really good.  They're doing it all themselves too; very impressive.

Later, I watched the final of the Pottery Throw-Down.  No surprises, right prevailed and it all came to a happy ending for this series.  I do like how they let us know what each contestant has been doing since their time on the programme.

That was it as far as scheduled stuff was concerned but I did have a good think about the possibility of the Prague trip and decided, after a lot of thought, to leave it for this year.  I am trying to rebuild my savings after a spendy year last year and, let's face it, Prague isn't going anywhere, is it?  I'm sure One Traveller will be doing another one next year, probably several, in fact.
I took into account that not only do I have two short breaks next month, I have several really interesting day trips booked and there's every chance that I might do something with Beth and Alex at some point.

So - no, not this year.

(Unless the old premium bonds come up trumps in which case - obviously . . .)

I don't really mind saying no.  I do have a good old life, plenty of nice things happen so no grumbles at all and one of my targets for the year is Economy, isn't it?

Tomorrow, the weather forecast is Not Good and it looks as if Chris and I will be driving to Groove rather than Beating the Boxes.  Then, I am going to Morrisons to do a shop - I'm getting short on fruit and veg plus a few other bits and bobs like cheese, yogurt and milk.  In fact, I have totally finished off my cheddar and what is life without cheddar, eh?

I have some washing to do and some stuff from today in the ironing basket so, with the upstairs to clean, it's a fairly full day.  

Have a lovely, relaxing rest-of-evening and sleep well, everyone.  xx
