Yes you got there well before me Caroline.
Good news that your OH got his jab so quickly and efficiently. Hope he didn't get caught in the bad weather, you've certainly had the lot. Despite not being a gin drinker I like the sound of your friend!
My day:
Was feeling a bit sorry for myself this morning, nothing particular, just thinking of how it's the same routine every day. Wasn't in a hurry to do anything, the forecast was fine all day so there was no rush to beat the weather. It was a lovely day again, there had been a really hard frost and it was still on the rooves and pavements. Washed my hair when the house was nice and warm, can't stand getting out of the shower with wet hair and shivering. A friend phoned, I was pleased to hear from her and felt much more cheerful after our chat.
Went for a walk later, it was freezing again but lovely in the sunshine. Bumped into the couple I know again, same place as the last couple of times. Her parents were with them, they couldn't stop to chat as it was too cold for her parents to stand around. I went into the woods and back the same way. My finger ends were numb when I got home despite my thick gloves.
While I still had my coat on I went into the garden and tied in some more of the clematis and ivy so I can make sure where it's going to some extent. There was a small gap in the plant membrane I'd put behind it all, highly unlikely that the wind blew it there at eye level. Covered the gap over.
I was going to do some of my painting, I needed to check the recording of yesterday's class to refresh my memory about what the teacher had advised. When I looked she'd sent the video of the morning class by mistake. I emailed to let her know, I emphasised that there was no hurry. Instead I decided to put away the art things from yesterday that I didn't need and sort out my drawing pencils. I ended up sharpening all of them and some watercolour pencils I'd forgotten I had. Sorted the pencils into two boxes, soft and hard. They ones such as HB that are no use for art went with the hard ones. That's the trouble with buying them in sets, you get ones you don't need. I even have an F, can't remember what that's for. It all took up a surprising amount of time but was worthwhile. In the meantime the teacher had very kindly replied with the correct video. Played it and wrote down what I needed to, too late to start painting today.
Salmon for tea with baked potato, peas and tomatoes. I tend to stick with the same veg with fish, there are some that I don't fancy with it. No wine tonight, was being good. A nice soak in the bath and bed. Am I allowed a shower and a bath in the same day?
