Monday at Home

Peter went back to work today but I had booked an extra day's leave to give myself a bit more time to get the house straight again after our hols.

It has been beautiful and sunny all day and I've enjoyed doing 'house wifey' things today which included:-

• washing the net curtains from the conservatory
• hoovering the car
• checking the oil
• re-potting some plants
• picking our first crop of tomatoes
• cooking up a batch of mince to last us a couple of days
• catching up on laundry
• hoovered upstairs and down
• dusting our wine rack which was shamefully dusty
• sorting out our book stash which is working its' way from the bookshelves into all areas in the front room
• washing skirting boards in conservatory (they were covered in ant powder from an earlier infestation)
• polishing
• thinning out the paperwork that had been threatening to take over the kitchen
• did some weeding in the front garden

After all that I treated myself to watching a film 'Notes on a Scandal' starring Judy Dench and Kate Blanchett - it was very good. Also started a new book 'Blind Sighted' by Karin Slaughter (yep another gore fest book for me!)

Also went to post office to collect a parcel and stuck the car through the car wash on the way home.

Having achieved all that I'm feeling quite chilled and work shouldn't be too bad tomorrow as I will be on my own as both bosses will still be on holiday, giving me plenty of time to catch up on my email inbox I hope!
