What are you up to?

Are you doing things you dnn't usually do?

I have unpacked (so glad to wear some fdifferent clothes!), lifted a big rug and moved furniture, rehung a  painting which had fallen off the wall, covered the sitting room floor with white paper to see if I would like a white floor in here (I would), set up the heated propagator in the studio, sown five lots of seed, soaked sweet pea seeds, potted on some dahlia tubers which survived the winter, scrubbed out the garden water dishes, started clearing the middle bed, watered many pots - the weather is warm and quite sunny, started cleaning the greenhouse, brought out different vases and paintings, and cushions, cut some tall birch branches and put them in my biggest jug. Paid some bills. spoke with neighbours, sent lots of emails, had toasted cheese and a glass of wine, brought in logs, still have to juice lots of vegetables and cook some food before it goes off....

Then hot bath and early to bed.

Can't wait.


My phone is still talking to me in Italian, which is a bit disconcerting.,.

Welcome back Freda. You have hit the ground running!
I made some sourdough cinnamon buns this morning. That’s a first. But I have my doubts about them. They look awfully sweet already and have yet to have their icing decoration. Cool and cloudy here this morning so I will turn my attention back to the neglected indoors.

Thanks Lucille. I bet those cinnamon buns were delicious.

Well, i am gobsmacked, Freda...you did more in one day home than most of us get done in a week! Excellent! and i gather you feel really good about doing all those projects! Our excuse is that we have rain and cold here. We’ve been indoors taking a serious look at our digital clutter and doing some SDC...unless we are different than most others, we have WAY more than we imagined! It’s just so silently there! I’m thinking back to the good old days when our computers would crash and we would lose everything. There would be a moment, or a day, of horror..and then we’d shrug and say: oh well, it’s gone. I called a cousin who is in her 80’s to see how she is faring. She apologized for not checking on me. She’s working her way through the relatives in their 90’s!

I don't know where that burst of energy came from really! It's been warm and sunny and that does make me feel good. Never get to the digital stuff though...Well done your cousin!

I need to take a rest after reading about all your hard work. Bravo you. It sounds like you are thoroughly enjoying being back in your home space.
