Sunday, 25-01-26

Good morning, everyone.  It's damp and dull here today again after a lovely, sunny day yesterday when the temperature was up to around 10C.  I took some photos of my snowdrops for today's post and then accidentally deleted them.  Doh!!!

It was a very leisurely start to yesterday.  Once downstairs was nice and tidy and the tea/coffee tray was ready, I did some crochet until Beth, Dave and K arrived and the business of the meeting started.  Short story is that investments, etc, have done very well, K is pleased and we carry on pretty much the same.   In the wider scheme of things, I don't have much invested but, to me, it is a lot and it's a security and a comfort - thanks, Mum and Dad.
 She's going to do some number crunching and let me know various options for accessing some of my money to minimise tax liability.  I know I could have whatever I want right away but they are long term savings so that is not the point!  :-)
I should hear back from her Monday or Tuesday.

Once K and Dave had gone, Beth and I sorted out a few more things both financial and other before she asked if  would like to go out for lunch, her treat.  You bet I would!
So off we went to a local pub and had a delicious lunch.  I had roasted sweet potato and hummus sandwich and could only eat half so I brought the other half home and had it for dinner, toasted.

Like this.

It was a very satisfactory and satisfying day all round.

Today is an at-home day.  I have a little list of things I would like to get done/sorted, a sourdough loaf to finish off and some meal to plan, including Thursday lunch when Val is over.

And crochet, of course.  There's always crochet!  What would life be without crochet?   :-)

I do hope your Sunday will be as pleasant as I expect mine to be.  If you are Scottish, Happy Burns Night to you and may your haggis be tasty!  (sorry, I don't know any authentic sayings)  Have wonderful celebrations.

By, all.  See you tomorrow.
