What’s on your to do list today? ……or do you put it off until tomorrow?

Weekly shop done
Make a physio app done
Water the pots and beans that are not producing any? done
Pick up my daughter at 4pm drive to GSs for a visit and dinner cooked by his lovely wife.
I’m now in my cool living room about to have some lunch and read for a while.

Walk the dog before it gets too hot
Collect book on order at the library
Shopping
Washing
All ticked.

Still to do - swim in the sea at high tide. Looking forward to the swim but not the cycle ride up the hill home afterwards

Read - I have four new books
Deadhead roses
Collect a prescription
Send an invoice for some work I finished last week.
Go for a walk when it’s cooled down, and combine that with watering the allotment
Unpack the shopping which is arriving about 10pm

So far, I’m excelling at the reading.

Oh, I am hopeless at getting things done.

We (well, I) need to muck out the dining room as decorators are due soon and the ceiling needs to be replaced first. But I have people round tomorrow and don't want the contents of the dining room all over the house, plus my sister is having a party 100 miles away on Sunday, which will put a stop to any good works.

I need to call the dentist about rearranging an appointment and sort out wardrobes to clear space to put things away, but it's too hot to think about that.

I need to clean the kitchen, and will do that before the day's out, but will wait until mid afternoon when it's cooler.

I have a Zoom meeting this evening, and will clean and tidy the sitting room after that, whilst watching something on tv.

All of which is postponing doing anything constructive, and having me time to waste spend on here .

Aquacise (been).

Tomato sauce in slow cooker (cooking).

Cooking some beetroot.

Hoovering and dusting (hate doing both).

Feeding GD’s guinea pigs.

Reading my library book ( a treat when I have done the rest).

As little as I can get away with. Far too hot for me.

Big chore!

Meet people I was at college with nearly 50 years ago. Eek. What will I wear? Will I recognise them? I don't want to go out in this hellish hot weather into crowded hellish Edinburgh festival city centre. Will have to do it though. Bit chore.

I'm supposed to be blanching runner beans to freeze but got stuck on GN.

Pay decorators - done
Review decorators on-line
Buy curtain rail and hooks
Buy lamp shades
Sort out spare room for daughter who is coming to stay tomorrow for a couple of nights

The best idea is to put on the list things that you will definitely do because you have to or want to. Things like put washing on, water garden etc. then you’ll definitely have at least a few ticks so can feel smug. I have an ongoing list where some things don’t get crossed off for weeks because I don’t really want to do them.

My garden shed. It’s an absolute disgrace. ?

I'm with you Whitewavemark

I haven't got the excuse of covid or flu but it's far too hot to do anything

Too hot to do anything much, and in any case I’m concentrating on getting my strength back after covid and then full blown flu. So think covid fatigue and then double it?

So my list is sitting around, eating well and relaxing?

I could get on with painting the bedroom walls, that I started in June but then abandoned, but the roller is as hard as a brick now and I really just can't be bothered.

Should defrost one of the freezers, if I have the energy.
Then if we do get it defrosted, look for a frost free one. It lives in the garage, so would need one that could do that.
Fridge is almost empty, so could give it a quick clean.
But then, maybe not.
