Monday evening, 18-03-24

Hi, everyone, welcome to the blog.  What a lovely day it has been, packed with small pleasures.

The sun was shining as I set off for Circuits.  We were a small group today, two of us to start with (plus Lindsey, of course) and then H turned up too.  It's much easier to feel energetic in the sunshine.  :-)

So when I came home again . . .

. . .  I opened up the garden room, uncovered the egg chair, swept off all the spiders' webs and moved it - like this.

And enjoyed my post workout coffee in the sunshine.

I had my breakfast outside too.  Lovely.

One of the nicest things, for me, about summer is being able to have my first coffee and my meals in the fresh air.  Bliss.

It was just warm enough while the sun shone.  Later on, the sun went in and it wasn't quite comfortable enough so I shut up the bifolds, covered the egg chair and came back in.

I changed my plans a bit after that.
As I had started a sort out in my bedroom, I decided to focus on that and get it totally done so I got everything out, sorted all my clothes, put the Arctic stuff (boots, gloves, hat, yaktrax, thermals) up high because I really doubt I will need any of them before next winter now, made decisions about what to keep and what to donate and packed the donated stuff in labelled black bags so Lindsey won't have to sort them.  They're now sitting on the spare bed waiting for when Lindsey starts asking for donations.  And a few things got chucked away but really not much - I was happy about that.

Once all was tidy again, I cleaned, dusted, swept and, finally, changed the sheets before sweeping the landing too.

I felt so, so good when it was all done - I love getting into a freshly changed bed, don't you?  And the old sheets are now clean and drying.

I walked and tapped my way to Morrisons for some milk as I had run out.  It was definitely feeling a bit chilly by then.  Then, finally, I made a batch of rice pud in Thermione - cheaper than in the slow cooker because it takes under an hour.

Tomorrow starts with the walk to Groove with Chris, tapping a few boxes as we go, and the walk back again afterwards.  
Then, after breakfast (outside?  who knows), I'm off to Beth's.  She is on holiday this week and is doing some clearing out too so I offered to lend a hand.  

Have you had lovely, springlike weather too?  I do hope it hangs around; I've checked BBC weather and it looks to be dull but dry so maybe the sun will break through - you never know.

Have a good evening and tomorrow, whatever you have planned.  xx
