Can I sit down now?

 


Today I have:

Done one load of washing (heavy linen duvet cover).

Washed my hair.

Researched about a dozen items, which takes longer than you would think. Lens helps a lot though.

Been in my secret cupboard to look for some pieces of studio pottery - it meant moving heavy boxes about, great fun!

Found all the other items I wanted to take to the Fair and loaded them.  Lots of different trips and careful planning/packing.  Keith was so good at that, bless him.

Taken compost out and litter tray contents (it's so wet and muddy in the orchard).

Polished a gallon copper Victorian harvest jug.

Polished a copper belly warmer (used on stagecoaches, back in the day).

Made a lovely crusty half and half loaf.

Made a Chocolate Apple Cake to thank my neighbour for bagging up some well-rotted muck heap for me.

Made a Spicy Dorset Apple Cake (and eaten a piece!)

Done three lots of washing up and drying up.

Walked 4,000 steps around the house doing all this.


I am absolutely shattered now, but still have to make a chicken curry for my own "ready meal" on Saturday and Sunday, when I come home late from the Fair.  Tomorrow will test my upper body strength . . .
