It’s Saturday. Here’s what’s on my to-do list for the day:
- Prepare prayers and reading for tomorrow’s service. I can pray extempore but it makes more sense to other human beings if I write it down beforehand!
- Do the handwashing (in the machine of course)
- Plant some cat grass and sweet peas, if it’s not raining
- Lop back the fried egg plant (cistus?) as it’s swamping the wee rhododendron
- Add 2 new DVDs to my LibraryThing catalogue (Friends 7 and Red Dwarf 5 - I’m a slow collector…)
- Record money spent. My other half keeps a careful check on our incomings and outgoings.
- Enter scores online for the latest Hotel Chocolat delivery. Our favourite were the honey and caramel tasting batons, although I thought the cranberry truffle was pretty knockout too.
- Recycling paper and card. We generate a lot of this but fortunately they do collect it.
- Ring my great-aunt in Liverpool and tell her I’m coming down in June for the UC&R conference. Hoping to extend my stay seeing family.
- Finish my ‘Kissing with confidence’ presentation for East Midlands CDG/EMBOC AGM.
- Start planning CDG Scottish Division session for Peebles day and writing related article for Information Scotland.
- Do some recorder practice. Trying to regain the agility of my lost youth.
- Get the Spanish books out - I’m going to my dad’s in Spain next Friday and I still have German in my head from the Dortmund trip!
- Do some sit-ups. Exercise has gone out of the window recently but I am beginning to resemble Pooh Bear (”Honey or condensed milk on your bread?” “Both please, but you needn’t bother about the bread”)
- Watch Doctor Who OF COURSE. Agatha Christie story tonight, so a double treat for me as I was a big Christie fan when I was around age 11 or 12. Sadly I stock edited most of them years ago except for a few old favourites for reading when in bed with the flu.
Tomorrow is another blog…
