Tell Us About Your Day

Ive walked the dogs , and washed all the downstairs windows and the front and back door.

The house is airing its a lovely sunny day and 12c so Ive got all the windows open..

This afternoon Im dusting and hoovering downstairs.

I am just back from getting a refund from B&M. we bought a huge bag of peanuts for the birds, but they have gone mouldy. Apparently [google] that is very unhealthy for them, and the gas it gives off can be carcinogenic for us.

Mouldy peanuts kill. Who would have thought that?

I would never have thought that.

Today is wide open for me. There are some showers right now and it doesn't look like the best of days so i might work ay going through my closet.

Yesterday was a great day. The University made an offer to two key personnel and after a few negotitations back and forth, they accepted the offers. My hand will be free to move on to the next project soon, and that is, working to renovate our health science campus. An eciting year ahead of us. Two new campuses will be added this year.

Today I cleaned my closet. I found shoes i forgot i had.

Yesterday I did some tidying in the garden as planned. I think I have all the brambles sorted for a while and managed to work my way around from the other direction to last time so I have a through route round the back of everything. I still managed to get stung by nettles on the bum though lol. I was cutting a holly tree which had self seeded by the apple tree. I dediced that a couple of foot between them was too small and it would be a big problem in the future. I used my large loppers to cut through the trunk but it was almost too much and in my efforts I fell backward onto a waiting nettle

I know I shouldnt laugh and its not funny but last night OH decided to try some cooking and doing his best Jamie Oilver onion chopping he sliced a layer of skin off the end of his thumb. It bled like mad ( he takes blood thinners) but we finally got it stopped then this morning he went into the shower and I heard him yelling for help. As the plaster got wet it came off his thumb started bleeding and the shower looked like the red sea!

So I had to wash and dry him help him get dressed and stop the bleeding again... He pulled such faces and made such funny poses as I tried to dry him I ended up sitting on the floor laughing so hard I had tears running down my cheeks.. I would never have been a good nurse!

I have put on a load of laundry and am airing out my apartment, as usual.

I will be walking to my dad's house soon: I am having lunch there. It is sunny weather too, so it'll be a pleasant walk.

You too, kjay.

I was victorious in going out this afternoon for the best bakery bread around, plus a couple varieties of non-dairy milk. (Downtown store has very little milk. We're not even close to the recent flooding and people are panic-buying. Oy.)

I also got tea at Starbucks while I was at it, but I should probably stop doing that - there's a better coffeeshop in town and the Starbucks employees just can't seem to be consistent enough to beat them. My excuse is that the Starbucks is conveniently located in the grocery store...

I also tidied up a bit this morning, booked the middle guy's second COVID vaccination online, and sewed up a long tear in one of the fitted sheets.

Waiting to see if the younger sister calls in a bit. Maybe I should get out the package of leek soup to make while we're talking. (Mama-only food, since I haven't convinced any of my boys to like leeks yet. Where's their Welsh spirit? LOL)

Yesterday, I blitzed the kitchen, lounge, toilets, dressing room, and hallway.

I offered and his response was typically English and not to be repeated !

I recall not long after I qualified, this 5 year old was coming for a repeat treatment. She fell over and grazed her knee. Not enough for blood, just scraped.

She was utterly inconsolable, tears were running down her cheeks, and she was sobbing terribly. I had no experience with little children, either clinic or irl.

So, I just put a little elastoplast on it. 

WOW, the sun came out.

She stopped crying immediately, and smiled at me. There was no mention of it again. I did her treatment, and off she went.

I learned a lot about pain that day. Stuff I had never been taught.
