HELLO FEBRUARY .....

January is a month of rest after the madness of the silly season of Christmas.

Then February brings us snowdrops, daffodils and lighter days.

Fat Buddha is smiling, reassuring us we are moving forward.

And this was Monday, 1st day of February.

A beautiful crisp, bright morning and a reminder that 14 years ago

I was heading off to Australia on my own to see my beautiful friend

and her brand new baby.

When Philip dropped me at the airport I almost turned round and went back

home with him, we were both in tears at leaving each other.

So back to Monday. It was a day to catch up on housework.

Washing, strip the bed, vacuuming upstairs.

Then making soup for tea.

I don’t have the radio on much now as I can’t be doing with

the constant hourly news updates.  I’ve switched to playing

Alexa and when I’m cooking I have Jamie Oliver’s music

mix on. Good for dancing round the kitchen and singing at

the top of your voice.

BOOK REVIEW

I’ve had this book for nearly 20 years. It’s all about cooking with

seasonal produce, so it’s leek and potato soup for tea, using vegetables

from our local outdoor market.

See here MARKET DAY

TUESDAY 

The plans for today are to clean out the bathroom cupboard,

prep the veg for tonight’s tea of veggie sausage & mash

before a zoom Pilates class with lovely Tracy from Bradley Physio.

Can’t wait to get back to attending my normal studio based sessions

and having a chat and a chuckle with fellow class mates, but I’m

ever so grateful to Tracy for keeping us going. Seeing her smiley face each

week is a tonic in itself.

Wikipedia review

As the weather isn’t great today I’m planning on having an afternoon watching

The Dig on Netflix, it comes highly recommend.

I’ll fit it in with doing a bit of stitching to show on Wednesday’s

usual show and tell work desk blog and planning menu’s and a shopping

list for our weekly visit to the market.

That’s providing we don’t get any more snow and can get out.

Whatever your plans are for today make it a good one.

Stay home, stay safe, we’re getting there.

Lynn
