Friday

It's definitely a day for catching up with a few household chores (morning) and then reading and relaxing (afternoon and evening). 

'A' (cleaner) will be here soon so that's the bulk of the cleaning sorted. I have one load of bedding drying and another load to dry as soon as the machine is empty, and then all the towels to do and that will be all the household linen dealt with. I can probably get away without ironing the bedding as it's 'easy care' and usually comes out of the tumble dryer wrinkle free. It's going straight back on the bed this time as it's lovely and soft ... my current favourite set!

I'm in the midst of creating a shopping list in preparation for a couple of bulk cooking sessions. I have a couple of new recipes for curries I'd like to try out and, as we are moving into autumn, I fancy some of my favourite comfort food meals. I have plenty in the freezer at present so I doubt I'll get round to doing the shopping and cooking until after I've finished the workshops. I have enough on at the moment without adding to my workload 

After lunch (probably beans on toast, followed by fresh fruit salad), I will settle down to do some music practice, then lose myself in a book. 

Today's photo was taken of my view from the sofa after a few minutes of mindfulness earlier this morning ... that's why it's wonky!
