I'm having one of those days where I'm catching up with all sorts of odd jobs. I can normally tell if im having an eclectic day by the items on my draining board. Today, we have a peeler, a small knife, a saucepan and lid, a measuring jug, the glass from a frame, a paintbrush, a funnel, a large plastic container and a small frying pan. (That reminds me of that game you used to play at parties where you had to remember the items in a tray so you could work out which one had been removed when the towel was put over it. Anyone remember that too?)
This diverse pile of objects derives from...
Fried eggs for breakfast
Peeling and stewing the last of the apples
Painting a recycled frame for my youngest to hang a picture she likes
Making handwash and funnelling into the containers
I've also rung the solicitor - things are moving slowly along with Mums estate - these things aren't rapid are they?!
Jet's bedding has been washed and his dew claws have been clipped
I have taken the two CD storage shelving units to a second hand furniture shop this morning and received £5 for them, so not only were my new shelves completely free, I also got an extra fiver - bargain! I'm thinking bottle of wine.....
I'm off out to lunch with a friend later and then I think I'll have a quiet afternoon reading my latest book club book, so a pleasant day all round! How about you all? What kind of day are you having?
Bottle of wine sounds good!
ReplyDeleteYes, I thought so too! A nice little treat with my unexpected £5
DeleteIts a miserable cold day here in Essex. If your day is similar a bottle of wine is in order.
ReplyDeleteIt's chilly but sunny here so not too bad, but I never need an excuse for a bottle of wine!!
DeleteIt's bitterly cold here so I've been soup making ..... we'll have to eat it all over the weekend as there's no room in the freezer for it!!
ReplyDeleteI cut Suky's dew claw ... just the one, for some reason the other one is always okay, the other night after her birthday bath, it's the only time I can do it when she swaddled in a towel .... the poor Pug has such ticklish feet.
I made soup and bread yesterday and had soup for my lunch out at my friends today. I also had soup at another friends house on Tuesday, so there seems to be a theme? Yes, only one of Jets dew claws grows too long and one claw on his right front paw (that's the leg with the frequent limp). He's very good and just lies there and watches me do it!
DeleteI do remember that game, I use to be pretty good at it, probably wouldn't do very well at it now.
ReplyDeleteI preferred the game where you had to put on scarf hat and gloves before cutting chocolate with a small knife and fork - all against the clock... Oh the innocence of it all :)
DeleteA bottle of wine is always a good idea! We were very lucky with the weather here this morning and as neither of us had work we went for a walk. It was absolutely beautiful. I'm posting photographs later. X
