Good morning Mick and all GN's on a still very dark morning in North Yorkshire. Cant hear rain or wind, but that is as much as I can tell. It is a very belated good morning for me. Had a rubbish night with very little sleep, and then of course, when I wanted to be awake early fell asleep, so here I am , behind like the horses tail! I am also treading very carefully as my reading glasses have disappeared and definitely cant afford to tread on them and break them , and my hairbrush seems to have gone awol too!
So I am creaking around and struggling, and trying to concentrate on my memory of the lovely day up in Swaledale, to keep me going. Today I have my class about the smart phone things. It needs concentration and paying attention, which right now feels as though it is going to be difficult, especially with no glasses. Oh well I still have some time to look for them.
Yesterday , only poked my nose out for a couple of looks at the weather and have a breath of fresh air, but had quite an industrious day, accomplished by good music to help the work along. I continued to sort through things and throw stuff away. When I see something in the paper or want the reminder about something happening I tend to collect quite a pile of bits and pieces and so yesterday,went through the lot, discarding everything out of date and finally getting a little more organised by putting dates in my big diary that I keep near the computor so that I can quickly check things. I actually need to add those dates to my little diary that I carry with me, then have up to date info if I am out and about or need to check things with doctors etc.
Then for a change of scenery I had a sort out of the fridge, cleaned and stewed some rhubarb, and got together all the veg cleaned and sliced ready for my stir fry. After all that effort, for once the stir fry was rubbish. Most disappointing, for some reason the meat was tough, not like I usually do it,and in general it was passable but not brilliant and I rather begrudged all the effort put in. Ah well we cannot be winners every time. It is rare that I dislike what I cook, so hope to be back up to par today. For some cheering light relief I sat and watched Antique Road Show and Call the Midwife and then called it a day myself and went to bed.
Hope you meet up with friends today Mick. GrandmaBatty, hope that the painkillers bring you some relief. Lovely picture Ashcombe. I will catch up on more of the posts when I get back this afternoon, but need to try and get my skates on, find lost glasses, check up on homework and gather not only my bags but my thoughts and get my brain into gear for the mornings efforts.Wishing everyone a better start to their morning than this and that you all have as good a day as possible
to both md and fgt.
