The Midweek Days

 

Yesterday was a lovely, gently paced day. I spent the morning visiting friend Joy and catching up all the news. It's been ages since we saw each other and it was great to be able to spend that time together. When I first went for an assessment at the swimming pool I'd actually taken the slot Joy had originally booked for herself but had had to cancel for some reason, so I'm now hoping that she will re-book for an assessment and that maybe we'll be able to have lessons at the same time ... that'll be fun!

In the afternoon I read a little, played the piano, and chatted for ages on the phone with friend H. Her house purchase is finally going through and she's hoping to empty her stuff from my freezer by the end of the month, or the first week of March at the latest. Now I know the approximate date I can plan around that, so batch cooking will be postponed until next month and in the meantime I will use up some odds and ends for meals. There's probably some UFOs (unidentified freezer objects) to eat up as well.

Today, I'm updating the family tree to include details of the new baby and also continue printing off some of the reference materials for my records. That'll probably take up most of the morning ... family tree research tends to be like a big hole I fall down and just don't realise how much time is passing. It's my swimming lesson this afternoon and then friend L may be coming round for a meal this evening. It's not a definite arrangement but is dependent on her family commitments ... hopefully she'll be able to make it, but if not we'll rearrange it for next week.
