Monday

the first of the mini tulips (only 5 inches tall) is starting to open but sadly, most of them have been battered by the winds and are looking very sorry for themselves!

 

Well, if the forecast is correct, today should be a lovely sunny day ... not too warm, but we can't have everything! I'm going out for a walk later this morning if that proves to be correct. I don't think I'll be able to walk too far but I do want to walk a different route and see new-to-me sights. I feel an urge for new experiences this time every year and as I write this I have no idea where I'll walk ... that's part of the fun!

This afternoon it's the canasta group meeting. We were starting at 1pm during the winter months as some of the group members didn't like driving home in the dark but now that the clocks have changed we're reverting back to a 2 pm start, which I much prefer as it means I'll be able to eat my main meal before I go out instead of just having a snack. Hopefully, the one member that I haven't met yet will be there today and from what the others have said she sounds lovely. It really is a great group of people and I feel lucky to have met them and been accepted into the group.

My mini project for the next week is to carry on sorting out the stuff that I moved from the music room to the playroom. The music room is now clear so I don't have anything else to do in there but the boxes have just been dumped in the playroom upstairs so that room now needs to be organised. I'm not sure how I will achieve it but I'd like to create enough space to keep one of the tables free to photograph all the items and then have my laptop set up on the other table to place the adverts straight away. That's achievable, but the issue is where to stack the boxes ... some of them may have to go in the spare bedroom so that I'm left with enough space to work in as it's a bit of a squeeze at the moment.
