I'm joining in again with Photo an Hour, organised by Jane and Louise.
8:00am | There was no band practice today as it's half term so I had a more leisurely start to the day. I didn't get out of bed until 7:30, had a quick shower and was downstairs about 8:00ish. For once on a Saturday morning I wasn't in a rush and had time to sit at the table for a relaxed breakfast.
9:00am | Time to start preparing the vegetables ready to make some meals to go in the freezer.
10:00am | Still in the kitchen and in between stirring various pots bubbling away on the hob, I started catching up with the laundry. This was the last load, which luckily didn't need to be ironed, a task I detest!
11:00am | I decided I deserved a break and a mug of coffee. I'm reading Wolf Hall for one of the book groups I go to.
12:00noon | I opted for an early lunch - beans on toast, much needed comfort food. I live alone, so I'm allowed to read at the table!
1:00pm | Back home after a quick trip to Sainsburys. I treated myself to some new slippers and some summer shoes, which I'm telling you about because you can't see them in this photo!
2:00pm | I needed some fresh air so grabbed the camera and went for a short walk to find and photograph some street plants for a blog post I wanted to write.
3:00pm | I'd finished my daily 15 minutes decluttering and written the blog post, and settled down for a break and a snack - coffee and an Easter biscuit, the first one I've had in years. It was good, but not as good as I'd remembered - not sure if that is my memory playing tricks, or whether it wasn't the same sort as Mum used to buy.
4:00pm | I sorted through the post. I'd dealt with the boring stuff when it arrived this morning, but this was the fun stuff - my National Trust membership (I almost feel like a grown up now!) and a what's on booklet for Salisbury City Hall. I didn't see anything I fancied at the City Hall, except for the one event I've already booked, but I did find plenty of places I want to visit in the National Trust booklet, so I started planning my summer break from teaching.
5:00pm | I wrote and published my street plant post, then carried on reading various blogs, drinking coffee and enjoying a bit of chilli chocolate, my latest indulgence.
6:00pm | Back in the kitchen, I prepared my evening meal and divided the, now cold, morning's efforts into containers and put them in the freezer.
7:00pm | I ate my meal in the living room, watching a repeat of Flog It! on the TV.
8:00pm | I did the washing up and tidied the kitchen, then curled up on the sofa to read some more of Wolf Hall.
9:00pm | I ended the evening catching up with the posts on The View From LL2. I've been hooked on the Serial podcast and have been following a couple of bloggers who have been analysing the case.
That was the last photo of the day. After I finished on the laptop, I settled down for some more reading and didn't go to bed until just before midnight. All in all, a relaxing and enjoyable day.
