Friday, 30-01-26

Morning, everyone!  It's Friday already, the last Friday in January, and I have no idea what the weather is going to do.  I bet it will be dull and dismal; though, like yesterday!    To be honest, a little snow fall that lasts would brighten thing up tremendously but I can't see that happening!  😊

I did a few bits and bobs yesterday.  One was getting the end of month finances sorted as there shouldn't be any more payments to make for January.
So I did that and was able to move a tidy sum over to savings, which is nice.
I like February and March as there's no rates and water to pay so that will all boost the savings.

As always, coffee and chat with Chris was lovely and the time passed in a flash.
A little while later, Val arrived and we chatted, crafted, ate home made wrap based pizza (very SW friendly!) and generally had a good time.

Then I continued to work on the blanket border.  In the end I kept the spike stitch but used a smaller hook and that's worked out just fine.  It's looking good and, as I have it all draped over my knees, it keeps me beautifully warm too.

An online chat in the evening finished the day off nicely.

It's Friday so it's Slimming World and then Alex should be over for our cookery session.  Today he is making Beth's favourite savoury bean crumble and taking it home for their dinner tonight.  As with all the best recipes, I already have everything needed so no need to buy anything special.

And that is that.  Life is plodding on nicely and, while it feels a bit busy at times, it really isn't, it's almost all self chosen stuff and that's fine.  It's been a nice, gentle five days and that does my soul good amidst all the worries of Real Life.
Have a lovely Friday, be happy, stay warm and comfortable and I'll see you tomorrow.  xx
