First day of my week off and I got hijacked - first by taking 22 to work and then doing a mercy dash to get her a porridge pot
Then by keeping one of my adopted daughters company. We went for a walk in the sun, put the world to rights and stopped to look at things

Went briefly to the trees yesterday. Dry, but grey skies. A little eerie
I love trees in all seasons but skeleton branches are so utterly beautiful

Since I was up and out so early, and it’s stopped raining, once I’d cleared the leaves from my drive I cleared the path at the end of it
Don’t do good deeds, people
My right air pod is somewhere in those leaves

Awake from 3am
SOS at 7am from 24 who lives nearby for full-sugar lemonade and electrolytes for a vomiting bug
So I’ve been out, done kitchen chores and a bit of gardening

Huge deadline today so worked flat out from early morning, only stopping to run to the loo or grab a coke
Torrential rain all day and some very unhappy cats who were vocal about it
Had to turn the sitting room into a play ground, complete with fish TV

Last night was awful. Noisy weather, noisy brain and I think Tate was trying to recreate a head-to-head cuddle we had yesterday afternoon but couldn’t quite work it out
Now, for reasons, I’m sitting in a car park while 22 sips tea and reads her book before work

Miscalculated, and there was no milk this morning - extremely sad times

I’ve worked 11 hours today, mainly from bed. I haven’t been outside, but I’m ending the day as a cat bed and that will be enough

I did go outside today, but in a rush and in the rain, so I looked down rather than up
But still, there were colours to find and value

Okay, so now my coworker has decided lap cuddles are the best, she’s been on and off my lap five times
This is going to be problematic - she likes to put her paws on my laptop’s trackpad, and doesn’t take kindly to having them moved…

I spent this morning standing on the common, cheering on the Sodbury Slog runners - future son in law was running
Clapped a lot of very muddy people, including bananas and the scooby doo crew, and got three compliments on my jazzy raincoat!

At the risk of sounding like someone out of a Miss Marple…
tomorrow I need to go to the high street to the haberdashers for ribbon to wrap presents and the post office for stamps
At least I don’t have a wicker basket!
