Sunday

I was planning on a quiet day today after spending a couple of days away for the memorial service ... such a sad occasion but it was lovely to catch up with people I haven't seen for years.

I've overdone things and really needed to rest today but decided to get on with the must-do tasks so that I can rest properly before teaching and choir tomorrow. So, the recycling box (glass, tins, paper) has been filled and placed outside for tomorrow's kerbside collection. I've taken the gas and electricity meter readings and submitted them online, and later on will check whether I'd be better off changing to a new supplier as my current pricing contract is up for renewal. I've also hoovered through the downstairs rooms and prepared the music room ready for lessons.

Food-wise, I've reorganised the freezers from where I just dumped everything in on Thursday. Everything is now where it should be with the portions for this week and next ready in the kitchen freezer to save searching through every single drawer. I've also listed all the contents: ever the optimist, I hope to tick meals off as I use them ... I'll start well but then forget as I always do. It's one feat of organisation too many for me!! I'm in the middle of cooking a roast dinner and will plate up another meal for tomorrow to save time. 

And that's it. Apart from finishing off the roast and then the washing up, I won't do anything else today. Dancing on Ice and the new Vera series are my viewing choices for later and I'll read, or nap, until then, with bedtime as soon as Vera solves this week's crime.
