Gosh, we have been busy today! We have really knuckled down to a bit of a clear-out and, although we are both tired, we are satisfied with what we have done.
I was up fairly early – I had in mind a few things I wanted to get on with and I also thought I might go to church. In the end, I decided against church in person and created my own, personal service here at home.
After I’d done a bit of faffing about I nipped up to the chemist’s to see if they’d got the one or two items I was in need of; and then, back home, I cracked on with the ironing while I waited for John to finish showering, ready for his haircut.
In fact, I am sure that it’s the haircut that has helped John with his work today. Happy and carefree without a tatty-head of hair, he felt free…… well, maybe that’s all a bit of poetic licence, but he was certainly galvanised to get on.
John spent the day breaking down an old desk he had in the garage and putting the debris into the skip and then generally finding stuff that needed throwing out. I spent the day clearing out old cleaning materials and gaily chucking them into the skip.
I also discovered another new, favourite toy today. The other day John muttered something about ‘watering the garden with the sprinkler’. I didn’t take a lot of notice until I saw the brand new, sparkly sprinkler on the lawn. ‘Ooooh……. that looks nice,’ I thought. My turn!! So, instead of walking round the garden with the hose today, I just set the sprinkler up and let it do its thing. Exciting. (Crumbs! What has my life come to?)
After our evening meal, we drove over to Paul and Harriet’s, to put their bins out as they weren’t going to be there when the bin men come. We took a circuitous route as there are road works on the way and a diversion was in place. Round and round the houses we went; up and down a couple of cul-de-sacs and in and out of previously unexplored roads, before we finally made it.
Home again, and we finally sat down with a sigh of relief. We had been working all day. Wonderful. I know it’s Sunday and a day of rest, but really, when the mood takes you, you might as well, eh?
On the COVID front, the figures seem to be steadying although it’s the weekend, so the figures are always a bit iffy. Will put numbers in tomorrow, folks. Still don’t want to sully my blog with the situation just now.
Take care everyone. God bless.
