I was feeling a bit bad about not going out in the garden to pick up Wednesday's dishes and s3k's cake shapes, just wanting to sit on the sofa and stare at the wall for a bit ( Read more... )

After "Breakfast for four, including yoghurt with fresh fruit, sandwiches and tea" I would have to sleep for a few hours so personally I think you've rather over achieved!

Today I fed the dog, went back to bed feeling like lead.
Got up lunchtime, checked emails & fb, put dishwasher on.
Picked runner beans, watered plants, fetched eggs from over the road.
Had haircut (though couldn't manage conversation by then) and did an emergency stop for packet pizza at Co-op on the way home.
Fed dog.
Fiddled with and cooked pizza.
Inbetween times another squint at the computer and finalized online shop.

Didn't manage laundry, a shower, hoovering, dusting, weeding, proper cooking, or anything remotely like OH pampering. I doff my hat at you :-) Now since you obviously have time to spare, would you pop over and give my house a good sorting out?!

you can fetch eggs over the road! how amazing is that!
i'm still struggling to find somewhere i can pick enough blackcurrants at an affordable enough price to make cordial...probably a quest for next year, at this point :)

and i did have a shower too, but then i thought if i put that on my achievements list, normal people will frown ;)

also - this is sort of an exceptional day, normally i park kids in front of tv for six hours, sit next to them, drool a bit and wonder how i'll manage to feed them lunch...so i figured i'd record this day as an example to myself :)

and you had a haircut! Mine is about 4 months overdue. see, so if we could just find a way to fuse the things we do, we'd turn into one perfect person! :D

1st cut since beginning of May, I had got to the point that I couldn't comb through the split ends without losing clumps, LOL. I'd go more often but she's the salon owner and too £ for that - probably a bargain compared to London though. It was lovely though - I go in as a hag and come out resembling a human.

We have a bloke over the road with a small smallholding. Piggies have gone and it's just various types of chooks now. It's lovely. I swap my runner beans with him for cucumber and potatoes, often there's no eggs left by the time I get up so I wander over when he's down there closing up the hen houses and wait for his missus to steal eggs from under the birds for me.

Having a shower is bliss but it floors me for hours, this means it counts as DOING.

Some way on the road to leisure that day you appear to have turned off the road.
