Did my stint manning the library in the local town. Very quiet today a few people in our small cafe for coffee but not many readers. Managed to do quite a lot of work sorting the books though.

Showered walked to the bakers for doughnuts and crusty bread it’s 45 mins there and back so that’s my walk done too put a wash on and then had bran flakes and toast for brekkie. Cleaned the bathroom and made the aired bed. Now I’m faffing about catching up with family stuff on Watsapp and FB and here of course. No plans so I might catch up with Dalgleish this afternoon.

Not half of what I intended to.
Showered, hair washed, dressed (discarding three different outfits as they make me look fat) , packed a small overnight bag as I am off to D and SIL’s for the weekend for GS’s birthday, took Rosie to kennels, filled up with petrol , bought an M&S sandwich and I am now eating that along with a coffee, ready to set off about 1.30
Where does the time go?

I’ve had an annoying morning! I was supposed to be meeting an old friend for lunch. But I woke up with that awful cold that’s going round. Then, just as I finished breakfast (granola, toast and marmalade, banana, pineapple juice and a cup of tea) I got a migraine. I took a 50 mg sumatriptan but feel weary now. So I cancelled lunch. OH is going shooting after lunch so I’ll lie on the sofa with a cat or two.

After much consideration, I have emailed a letter of Resignation from the Committee of our local ‘50+ Community Café’ - there has been some disquiet and rumblings for some time. I am not a morning person and as a Committee member, I was expected to attend at least 1 hour before the rest of the members arrived. And, quite rightly so.
It’s a big weight of my mind….phew !!

Showered. Had a face time with DGS (5) who asked me to make him a poppy. Apparently a bought on is not good enough. Been to the local shops and now busy making a felt poppy to take to DGS this afternoon.

Very satisfying morning turning out a store cupboard, putting everything into boxes and labelling them. Hopefully this will mean I can find things more easily, rather than relying on my memory, which quite often seems to go on holiday, nowadays!

Washed and blow-dried my hair, difficult as I was persuaded by the thread about long grey hair to have a slightly more drastic haircut and I am not very good at blow-drying.
Had breakfast.
Made a fish pie.
Amused myself on Gransnet, rather than sweep up dead leaves.
Thwarted the cold caller by agreeing enthusiastically with everything she said; she cut me off!

Showered, done some washing and there's another load in as I type. Housework that was needed and coloured my hair. Ironing this afternoon so I hope there's something decent to watch on the tv.

Breakfast of eggs, avocado & coffee at 07.00
90 minute walk with a friend at 08.30
Faffed around online reading newspapers & GN
Perused Fortnum & Mason's website

I desperately need to do some housework but might have lunch first! smile

Got up and showered, put a wash on then went for the paper. Was planning a walk but got side tracked by 2 doughnuts.
I'll go for a walk now when I catch up with Facebook where a local scandal is being discussed. Unfortunately no one actually knows what happened but the comments are amusing.
