Tuesday evening, 30-04-24

Good evening, everyone.  
As the last day in April passes, it's been a busy old day with a couple of unpleasant surprises, one expected and one not, neither of which I can or want to talk about because it is not for me to say.

This made me happy.  Potential yumminess . . .


As it has been the last of the month today, there were a few bits and bobs to do.
I read the gas meter and sent off the reading.
I finished off the finance stuff for the month and, despite it being a heavy month with the increased costs but using March's income (I work a month behind as various income streams arrive through the month, not on the first of the month). I was really happy to be able to move a bit over into savings; not loads but every little helps and it all mounts up over time.
And I needed to organise the payment for the next block of personal training so that's done now.

Lindsey confirmed that there will be another Fun and Fitness weekend at Five Lakes next March - plenty of time to save up for that!  I paid my deposit, as did Diane - we exchanged gleeful texts about it.

I remembered that there's a governors' meeting tomorrow evening so I downloaded all the documentation and emailed it to myself so I can access it all on my laptop.  I've read through everything but need to give it another read through tomorrow.  There's always quite a lot to get through and get to grips with.

Groove and the walk there and back were very pleasant.  Chris and I never lack anything to talk about and the time passes very quickly!  Groove was, as always, great!

I worked out the meal plans for a week and used it to make my next shopping list which I might get Saturday morning.  I'll see how it goes.

And, finally, I changed my sheets as it was another good drying day so that's off the list for this week.

So - lots of bits and bobs and plenty crossed off my list which is always nice.

Has your day been busy too?  
I'll stop now and get this live.  Sleep well, sweet dreams and have a great day tomorrow. xx

    1. No, they're not. I suppose one wasn't really unexpected, just maybe sooner than expected. But it's all a part of life's rich tapestry, as they say. xx

  4. My day had some unpleasantness as well. Our dog was sick and we had to take him quickly to the vet. All seems to be going well now, though, with the meds the doc gave him. Other than that, I too washed sheets and did a few other minor household chores. Hopefully, tomorrow will bring only good things for both of us!

  6. It was beautiful here yesterday - such a treat! We did some gardening, trying to avoid it getting away from us. Everything is rampant from now on:-)

    1. I was so pleased when Lindsey posted that she's spoken to them and they could accommodate what she wanted. Diane's going to and we have managed to get single rooms - there aren't that many available and we have quite a discount going on so that's brilliant.
      Only eleven months to wait.

  10. Seeing the flowers appear on strawberry plants holds all the promise of those delicious fruits to come. Hoping you get a good crop of them x
