11-05-25

Good morning again, peoples!  How's life?  Yesterday's weather was definitely a day of two parts.  It rained on and off in the morning but we had some sunshine later on.  I had, of course, hung out my washing before going to Groove so there wasn't much I could do about that but by the end of the day it was nice and dry and still looked clean (it was a white wash) so that's OK.

Groove was really good, as usual.  Because I had done all that activity stuff at Five Lakes, I wasn't as stiff as I usually am the first class after the weekend.  I took some jeans with me to change into so I was able to drive straight on to Marriages where I stocked up with bread flour - white, wholemeal and, three cheers, dark wholemeal rye.  On the back of that last, there's a recipe for honey and oat rye bread which I would really like to try.  Not today though because, now I have some wholemeal again, I've started a sourdough loaf for Beth which I can get on with in between all the other bits and bobs I have to do.

Then, because I was around that way, I stopped off at B&Q/Longacres.  AT B&Q, there were pretty much only the reject cucumbers left, most of which were useless with no growing shoots, just stems, but I got lucky and found a couple that, with care, should be OK.  In fact, they look pretty good this morning and, reduced to £1 each, I haven't lost that much should they not thrive.
I didn't need to go into Longacres, but I did and came out with a whopping big bar of chocolate for the children next door who watered my garden while I weas away and - ooops - a tray of runner bean plants.
Of course, as I said to the lady at the checkout, now I have these, the seeds I planted will get their act together and start coming up and I will have too many.  They weren't expensive though, cheaper than the pack of seeds.  We will see but I suppose better to have too many than none at all.

Then it was home, sweet home, where I was - er - let's call it 'restful' and got on with loads of crochet while catching up with weekend telly.
Which means today is busy, but that's OK.

Today I have . . .
circuits and then personal training at Shimmy Studios (PT is usually afternoon but I am going to a catch-up-from-Monday circuits class and Lindsey said she could do PT straight afterward to save me making two journeys)
a loaf to bake
ironing
finances to catch up on 
a bedroom to sort out (again)
a downstairs (including the kitchen) to dust and sweep (it's quite tidy, for once)
and some plants to get outside

It's actually quite a nice mix, I think, and should work wonders for my step count.  I would really like to get it all done today so I probably will.  Then, and only then, I can crochet and read, etc - maybe in the garden, weather and pollen permitting - my hay fever is bad at the moment which is annoying!  :-)

Well - time for some first stretch and folds so I will love you and leave you.  Wishing you a very good day with not too many sneezes!
Take care.  xx

  1. Hope the plants all take - a productive shopping trip, I'd say!
