9th January – A shadow
Day begins with the schlep to take herself to work. Leave a little later today and it works out much better, would have been dead stressed of I’d have been at work today.
Car hoover arrives and set it charging. Take the car for a bath, end up in Leigh and fill it up. Update spreadsheet. Bit of shopping in Morrisons and grab a coffee. Home and it’s time to clean the fridge out which is achieved, cooker cleaned and cat litter changed. Hoover the car and jobs a good ‘un. Decide I’d better do something with this year so new year, new learning.
Much discussion around the notion of C’s retirement. We find some sort of financial solution. Not my best moment but C believes it so. That in itself is rewarding.

Cosy corners – Elsie has taken to hiding in the cat tunnel. Dunno why! A wee bit of shopping today, housework and an abortive attempt to get to the allotment. Catch up with the whole blog thing again.
Thankful for this…
Where my keys should be, A good day.
Book, grab Ripley Bogle off the shelf, some old Russian glass and the Olympus. Feeling knackered.
Day off and Glimmer 9 from yesterday, the bike shed.
Sunday morning and a lazy start to the day. Coffee at the coffee shop and then a wee shop followed by a visit to the Tom and Gerry for a beer. Back home and it’s out into the jungle at the front to clear dead bits and ivy.
Laundrette day
