Morning, one and all.  How are you all today?  Good, I hope.

Yesterday was an easy day really.  I did two loads of washing one of which went out on the line.  It didn't dry but it got some fresh air which was good.  I did some of the ironing too which I was pleased about.

Son Dave came round to do some printing and we had a nice chat about this and that, fixing a date when he and Anna will come round again for supper.  Then  Sharon turned up, sorted out my hair and now I feel all neat and tidy again.

I didn't:
clean any windows
sort out five things - so ten today!
sort out the blue room

But I did:
give the bathroom a good clean
the aforementioned washing and ironing
cleaned the kitchen
 . . . so I didn't entirely waste my time.

I was a bit spendy but it was need, not want.  I paid Sharon, of course, and I got some descaling stuff for my Nespresso gizmo that seems to be slowing down somewhat.  The official stuff is really expensive but there was a non-brand (alternative and much cheaper brand, anyway) on Amazon so I got that.  It should come today and, assuming it does, I will be giving my Nespresso a descale straight away.
I guess one could argue that a Nespresso is not a need but, if I have one, I need to look after it properly!
(I was tempted to just use vinegar but when I Googled it, the perceived wisdom was not to in case it damages the tubes, etc.  Shame!)

Today I will be popping back to the dentist to have the stitches taken out and the work checked over.  I am sure it's fine.  It doesn't hurt at all and I've been very careful to brush the site using the super-soft brush they gave me and to use the mouthwash.

Then I'm home for a while to do bits and bobs before going over to Lindsey's for personal training.  I've asked her if she can focus on back strengthening and stretching stuff - she's really good and adapting things to personal circumstances so I am sure it will be very good.

And that's that!  It's so nice to be getting back into some sort of routine again - I have really missed classes.
Have a lovely day, everyone.  Stay warm and cosy and contented, whatever your plans.  xx

  1. I wince at the very thought of those stitches. Poor you, hope it's not too painful.

  2. I'm sorry you had to have stitches., It sounds drastic.
    Getting into routine again is good.

    1. No, it wasn't really. Self inflicted in a way. It was just the first stage in some implant treatment, that's all.
      I love routine. I suppose, having been a teacher all my adult lif, pretty much, I am bound to really. xx

  3. Lovely day here today so might do some garden tidying at long last. Trying to decide if we will buy a new vacuum cleaner as the Shark one is useless! Also need to do a pile of ironing so that will be later! Catriona

    1. You've got the best of the weather. It's dull and damp here - not nice at all. xx

  4. Even though you did not get all the list done, you still got most and had your haircut and a visit. Good going.

    God bless.

    1. Yes - it is so nice to have enough time for everything and not to feel pushed at all. xx

  5. I think we have list making in common, Joy. I like to have a schedule of sorts to keep me on track with what I need (or want) to accomplish. As you said, probably a hold over from my teaching days. You had a very productive day!

    1. Lists are so very helpful - as long as they work for us rather than us working for them. I love my lists! xx
