It’s Thursday. That must mean that it’s housework day…… or not, as the case may be. It’s so daunting to tackle all of the housework in one go, and we’ve agreed, after a bit of an abortive attempt today, that maybe we won’t try and do it in one go, after all. Especially as I’ve been doing yoga and badminton on a Thursday, not leaving much time for housework. So, if you arrive at our house and it’s messy, you know why.
Thursday is also bin day much to John’s excitement and so he’s been out already and put the bins on the front drive. Honestly, this is what our lives have sunk to now – housework and bins……must get a grip.
However, we did cosy up in the lounge this afternoon. I know it’s not ‘cold’ cold, but with meteorological autumn now officially arrived, it felt chilly and we needed a cheer-up, so we lit a fire this afternoon. It was lush. I do love toasting my toes by the fire.
I did a bit more rootling for photos this morning before I went to yoga, but didn’t come across anything particularly exciting for the purpose of ice-breaking at Cath’s son’s wedding. More rummaging tomorrow, I hope. I have found some hilarious and touching photos of the family at large over the years though, so I might share a few with you when I get organised….. which, of course, might be never, because life seems to be fairly hurtling by at the moment! It’s all the housework and bins….
More of the same on the COVID and political front which I find distressing to think about so I am trying to focus on some positives instead. and there are quite a few of those – particularly when the family send me photos of the grandchildren….. this one of Thomas, entitled ‘FFS’ made me laugh, anyway. I do love a curious child, don’t you?
Take care everyone. God bless.
Here are the figures by the way, lest you think I’d forgotten: 38,154 new cases of COVID today; 178 people died in the community; 68 on 31 August & 1 September in hospitals; and 848 people admitted to hospital with the virus.
I’m off for an early night now. Night, Night.
