…. day where I’ve accomplished much less than I intended to.
it started well enough because, having had a reasonably early night, I was awake and up and about before the final alarm went off at 06:19. And that’s a nice change.
Not so much about the weather though. It had been cold during the night and when I looked at the thermometer, it was 0\u00b0C outside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to winter. It’s here at last.

After breakfast I had a start on the stuff that needed doing such as arranging some of the files and documents from the desktop computer but for some reason or other I didn’t seem to be able to start and I have no idea why. I wasn’t pushing on like I had hoped.
Even so, I made it as far as lunchtime although I hadn’t done very much. And a couple of nice sandwiches with some of my home-made hummus were delicious.
This afternoon I attacked the carrots. 1kg of them topped and tailed, peeled and chopped. And put in a saucepan with some bayleaves to blanch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was then that there was a buzz on the door. Liz and Terry had found themselves in the vicinity so they called in for a chat. It was nice to see them too.
We had biscuits and coffee and a good chat, and the fuse in the electrics decided to blow opportunely seeing as there was an electrician in the apartment. Now I don’t need to explain to Terry what’s going on.
After Liz and Terry left, I was deciding on going out, very much late, for my afternoon walk, when the telephone rang.
It was Rosemary who wanted a chat so we were there for almost 90 minutes putting the world to rights.
With all of the excitement, I don’t remember anything after that until just after 19:00. I’d been flat out on the office chair for just about an hour. I’m clearly not doing too well, am I?
Tea was a burger with pasta and tomato sauce. I wasn’t in the mood for anything exotic or anything that would take time to prepare.
For the first time this winter I wore my gloves. It’s going to be another freezing night tonight, I reckon. But I’m going to be tucked up in my little bed in the warmth in early course. It’s shopping day tomorrow.
