Morning, all.  Wednesday already - oh, dear.  It feels cold too and we've had some rain overnight.  It is January so I suppose it is to be expected.  What is more worrying is the weather that is heading our way - hoping we will all be safe.

Yesterday went pretty well.  Chris and I walked down to Groove, did our best and wobbled back again.  Both of us have iffy backs but we were fine although I made sure I kept moving gently on and off through the day.

I did my ten minutes weed scraping - it's boring but surprising how much gets done.  Time was up but the cars (mine and next door's) were in the way anyway.  I could have moved mine but will wait until next door's car is not there and then tackle their bit.  The parking situation is a bit unusual - there are two parking slots in front of my house.  One is mine but the other is next door's and it says so in the house deeds.  That's fine and there are good reasons for it but I need to take responsibility for keeping it weed-free when I can because it detracts from the appearance of my house when it's weedy.  I don't HAVE to but I choose to.

In the afternoon, I started in on my bedroom.  I'm sure it wasn't all that long since I last tackled all the drawers but oh, dear.  Let's just say that I have probably fulfilled my decluttering ten a day for the rest of January and beyond.

I sorted, threw out, recycled, repaired three drawers that were coming apart and generally got quite a lot done.  It's not finished but I've started.

This morning is a bit different.  When Mum and Dad's estate was sorted, I invested a good chunk of it in long term savings, primarily to support any care needs I may have in the future but also for dire emergencies, etc.  Today, Kay is coming here to do a review of how it has all performed this year, I will sign for some to be moved into my ISA and so on.  Hopefully, I won't have too many decisions to make but Dave will be here to advise me anyway - he's got responsibility for finance in my LPA so I involve him in all this sport of stuff.

Then it is more bedroom tidying and weed scraping (I will move the car) before I pop out for Personal Training.

Quite a busy day but interesting too.  I should sleep well tonight!
Have a great day, everyone.  xx
