Friday morning rolled in with a low mist over the valley and snow on the hills.
Sat up in bed with the first cup of tea of the day I read for a bit, wrote up my journal and caught up on emails and social media.
After a shower and my usual morning Pilates practice and breakfast I got stuck into the day ahead.
There’s been a mahoosive hole in our lane for months and with the wet weather and constant daily use it’s now started to sink right across the tarmac.
I’ve given myself the task of reporting it to BT whose underground cables are the cause of it. Today’s job was to provide photographic evidence of said hole. Much more damage and we will be stranded up the hill, it’s started sinking on the other side now
Today’s planned job was to sort through a set of drawers in my craft room that haven’t been touched for years.
Ever had that sinking feeling that you wish you hadn’t started. I walked away from it twice.
But look, now I’ve sorted all my tools into one drawer and the others are equally as tidy.
I text my Mum in the afternoon telling her I’d completely gone off the boil today and felt down in the dumps, it’s not often that happens.
In the end I put the heating on, curled up on the sofa and watched a bit of telly, hoping it would pass.
It did after a lovely tea of Mediterranean quiche, vegetable rice and salad, a good catch up over What’s App with my niece, followed by a fit of laughter watching the BBC 1 programme ‘Would I Lie’ to you.
And now it’s
Saturday 16th January
Today would have been Auntie Gladys’s 89th birthday.
I miss her and her funny and fun ways.
Time for tea and Tony now.

Happy weekend everyone
Stay safe and well

Hi Lynn. You have a lovely blog. I love the beautiful views you have from your home and it Looks like you have yourself nice and organized too! I hope they get the road fixed soon, looks like it could be dangerous. It's nice to "meet" you, have a great weekend :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comments. It’s nice getting to know you xxx
DeleteYour views are spectacular. Hope the hole gets filled in properly and not just a patch job done. First sign of frost and it will just continue to happen. How terribly organised you are but I know what you mean about starting a job then walking away from it. I think we're all feeling a bit down in the dumps this week with the goings on. Happy Heavenly Birthday to your Auntie Gladys. She looks a special lady.xx
ReplyDeleteI give myself a little task everyday. No sense in overdoing it I think.
DeleteThank you for your kind thoughts xxx
Happy Heavenly Birthday to lovely Auntie Gladys. Sending you a huge virtual hug as those special days are always really hard when we lose someone we loved.
ReplyDeleteYour view is spectacular, not so the hole. We were amazed at how quickly one we reported got filled in, hope yours is the same and you're not stranded! xxx
Oh it was a difficult day. I miss her so much Vix. Xxxx
DeleteThat hole is mahoosive indeed, I hope they'll come and fix it soon! I know that sinking feeling very well ... Your lovely Auntie Gladys’s 89th birthday must have been a sad occasion for you. Sending the hugest of virtual hugs, Lynn xxx
