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 . . .
That does sound busy - good luck at the fair!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie. Yes, I do hope so. Just a few big pieces would help . . . or lots of little ones. Forecast is non stop rain all weekend though . . .
DeleteA sit down is well deserved. Good luck with the Fair.
ReplyDeleteYes, just trying to get my brain around knitting E. Bunny's bonnet but keep getting distracted.
DeleteYou've been very busy. I've been a lady wot lunches, meeting up with old schoolfriends, we've known each other since we were 12 apart from one and she joined when we were 15. Lots of chatter, laughs, photo showing and do you remembers. Its about a 45 minute drive, me from Belper them from Stafford, but such a good time. Hope your fair goes really well. There seem to be a few held round here, Markeaton Park or the Derby Conference Centre. Hugs Xx
ReplyDeleteOverdone it as I was exhausted by teatime. Still, the curry is cooked now and in the fridge. Glad you had a lovely time meeting up with old schoolfriends. You can't have moved too far from where you grew up. I'm nearly 200 miles from my home town.
DeleteFebruary has never been a good month for Fairs, so I won't hold my breath. It will be nice to see old friends though.
