• A Me Day

  The Pink_Hebe definition of a 'me' day now seems to include time to sort out bank accounts, tax returns, and do the filing.  It is, I must say, very nice to have the time and, more importantly, the energy to deal with such things.  Quite often, I get home, and while there is an hour or so before bedtime, all I really want, and need, to do is go 'flop' and try to wind down.

  Anyhow.  The personal administration is finally, thank you God, done.  The Brownie admin is also done (I even know the amount in the bank account left over from when we changed the Pack's Name from nth Local Brownies to n+(n-2)th Local Brownies.  And, let me tell you, that cash will come in handy!)  There are still bits of paper to be recycled everywhere, but I have made my bed.

  It will take all of fifteen minutes to restore order to the sitting room, and then, I shall throw on some makeup (vanity, vanity), and leap on my bicycle, and head off to post some letters.  While I think about it... OneHotProcessor sent me yarn, and I made socks:

  

  You'll have to ask her what the yarn is.  I have lost the label at The Welshman's place.  It is almost June, and yet I am still wearing woollen socks.  Summer occasionally appears this year, but it's being a bit sporadic about it.

  The rest of today shall be spent thusly:

  • Bring the laundry in
  • Sweep the garden, bin up rubbish in new exciting boingy bin thing that will hold the bin bag open
  • Sew a new hot water bottle cover, my red dress, maybe the oven gloves red dress jettisoned, as mistake made too far back to actually rectify.
  • Knit the paternal socks

  And remembering to eat something between breakfast and supper (I got too caught up in events yesterday, and forgot).

  I am doing both the 5km Race for Life and the 10km Macmillan Fun Run this year. I shall end all posts until June with a shameless plea to donate: because if you can manage £2, which is, I believe, the minimum allowed, and all of you do that, well, that'll get me to my target no problem! The Race for Life money goes towards Cancer Research, and the Fun Run money goes to Macmillan Cancer Support. The former charity is all about scientific research, the latter about living with cancer, and making life a bit easier for people affected by cancer.

  Thank you to everyone who's sponsored me so far. I really do appreciate it
