GSOH

It’s been a rather random day. I spend 1.5 hours going nowhere on A47. There was an accident so I had to reschedule my meeting.

Sounds like a bad one. They closed both carriageways. So as soon as I could get off, I headed back home.

Given my plans had changed, I thought I’d take the old lino from the Buddymobile to a flooring shop to see if they had an offcut that would work. Thought I’d picked up both bits. Turns out I’d only picked up one. Didn’t matter as when I arrived, the shop was shut.

As I was getting back in the car, having wrestled the lino in the wind down the road and into the car, said wind caught my car door and closing it on my foot. Good job I was wearing my sturdy yard boots.

Good job I can laugh at my own ineptitude too. I’m blaming the eclipse.

Out and in

So the saying for New Year is ‘out with the old and in with the new’. Well as I didn’t see the new year in, I thought I’d do something else instead. So out with my very old baking tray and in with my shiny new one. Not sure it has the same ring to it.

The old baking tray has served me well. To be honest, I’m not sure how old it is. That says something about my cookery skills.

A trip to B&M can be a bit dangerous. Today I was very restrained. I went for envelopes. Came out with a baking tray, air fryer liners, cat treats, doormat, 12 kitkats and some washing up liquid. Oh and the envelopes. So not only was today out and in, it was also in and out.

Verglas

My heart sank a little when I opened the curtains this morning. A heavy frost and thick white mist greeted me. After such a glorious few days, it really felt like Spring was on the way. It wasn’t long though before the sun broke through.

I spent most of the day on calls. The last one, I sat in the conservatory basking in the sunshine. And I spotted the tiniest glimpse of pink on the camellia buds. I must admit I got very excited about that! Thankfully the lady I was talking to completely understood. And retorted with a very large fox peeing in her garden. I love random conversations.
