Tuesday

Hi, everyone!  It's still pretty dark here but I just stuck my nose outside the back door and it's not quite frosty -yet - but frost often develops as light dawns so we will see.

(later edit:  yes, we have frost!!)

I got done what I wanted/needed to do yesterday.  The washing basket is now almost empty and one load dried on the line in the breezy sunshine.  The second load didn't really but that made things easy to iron and they're now ready to put away.

When I emptied the airing cupboard before Matt was due to come, I realised quite how much old stuff I had at the back so, yesterday, I sorted the lot out - towels, sheets, duvet covers, the lot - and am taking all the stuff I no longer need down to the hall when I go to Groove to a friend who supports a local animal shelter which, she said, are always on the look out for that sort of stuff.  I was so pleased to get that done and dusted.

I did a bit of housework too, so my halo may shine dimly but at least it still shines.  

Today feels busy.  It isn't really, it just feels it.
There's Groove, of course, although we're not walking today; Chris is driving, because of the bags of stuff.
Then there's just time for a quick breakfast before I am due at school for my termly Governor's meeting with the SENDCo.  I have the paperwork printed out and it shouldn't take all that long although this term's meeting is quite an in-depth one and, with the changes in OFSTED guidelines, there will be plenty to cover, I think.

This afternoon is easier - I have the friend coming round who couldn't come last week so that will be very nice.

If I have time/energy, I will write up my report of the morning meeting - if not, I will do it tomorrow instead.

So that is my day - nothing too out of the ordinary and it will be nice to see everyone - Chris, Groove ladies, the school folk and my friend.  I think I will be all peopled out by the evening but that's OK.  😄

Have a lovely day yourself, everyone.  Stay warm, safe and cosy!  See you!

  1. Busy day ahead especially with the OFSTED work. When I did the training last week from 9 30am-4.15pm, I was exhausted!! The interesting thing for me was that I used to deliver the training many years ago and it hasn’t really changed all that much-even the same silly betting to know you task! Craft group this morning and we are making jute Christmas trees-it involves lots of concentration! Catriona

    1. Making Christmas trees at craft club sounds a lot nicer than OFSTED training. I used to hate getting-yo-know-you tasks - much better to just go round saying who you are and why you're there.
      I bet the trees are lovely. xx

  2. No frost here today, we are back to heavy rain again, I much preferred the lovely clear air of the colder weather. What a good way to be able to give your older towels, sheets etc a new home. It's good when things can be recycled in a very useful way.

    1. Oh, dear. I hope it was just rain and not snow.

      I was so pleased to find someone/where to donate. It's all gone now and my shelves are the winner :-) xx

  5. Cool here and windy but no snow or ice in the forecast any longer. Your day seems busy enough to me. I hope the meeting went well.

    God bless.
