Just landed in Spain on the ferry. Will be driving across the country.
I have an 11 and a half hour shift to do. Woo
Probably put some laundry away, maybe do some more gardening, need to nip out to get some soil for work events this week, otherwise not a lot thankfully
Allotment to put the potatoes in and do a bit more tidying up, then a garden centre for lunch and to spend too much money on plants, and a visit to a National Trust property. Lovely!
Potting plants to give to friends I’m visiting in Dorset and we’re having lunch with a walk after
It’s mad just how difficult it is to have a weekend without spending money.
Trying to have a cheap one and even things like parking, a coffee, a nip into a charity shop mean you’ve suddenly spent at least a tenner without even realizing it.
I love the wildlife that visits, duck’s in the day, and so far, 2 hedgehogs overnight
Be nice, however, if after a night at work, they didn’t poop on the doormat so I can avoid stepping in it before I have a coffee 🤦🏻♀️
Today, I will be cleaning as I know there’s going to be something in the garden the dog will want to roll in
Just off to Starbucks to grab a coffee, and then off to a private dog field for an hour to let the dogs go mad.
We do this every Sunday. One of my dogs is old and riddled with arthritis so doesn’t have long walks anymore – seeing him bowl about a field trying to keep up with his younger sister always brings a tear to my eye. I’m gonna miss him when he’s gone.
Gym then making a Sunday roast and probably a few Sunday beers!
Let’s cling onto the hope that that wasn’t summer whilst kind of suspecting that it was.
2nd day of 9 days off, currently sat on the static bike at home. Personal trainer checkin tomorrow so trying not to eat all the Easter supplies. Need to do a bit of painting and hopefully just time in the garden with the SO and kids.
Running a hot lavender bath with something I got from Lush ages ago. Then having a fried egg in a roll, I’ve decided, before spending the morning washing the windows and cutting the lawn with the manual mower.
I sacked off a few window cleaners last year as they like coming with a long handled brush, spray water everywhere, and leave half the job undone. And they weren’t cheap either.
Got in from playing a gig just after 2am, up at 7 to make my wife’s coffee and flask of coffee before she goes to work. Drinking my own coffee now to try and feel vaguely awake. Next on the agenda is feed the sheep and walk the dog then I’ll be free to alternate naps with watching world superbike and MotoGP throughout the day before feeding the sheep and walking the dog again
Really very little today. Gf is doing a 12 hour shift so I’m a free man. Should probably go to my mums and hang out with the step siblings and their…..cantankerous…..children, seeing as I said I would 😏 but that’s ok because I can wash the car at my mums which is *filthy*
Football match at Wembley
Got three fights lined up for today. The first two should be fine but the third is probably going to be the toughest priest I’ve fought yet
Visiting the in-laws today. I’m hoping we will be back early enough for me to tackle clearing out my wardrobe as that’s the last spring cleaning task for this fortnight off, so would leave me next week without having any decluttering to do. We finished the big sort out of downstairs yesterday and it looks amazing. We also have a bonus d&d session tonight as nobody is free to do one next week.
Feeling a little hungover over this morning.
I had a few drinks last night, knowing I had nothing to do this morning, and could have a very rare lie in.
But i woke up early anyway, and couldn’t get back to sleep.
Today, (when I can manage it) I plan to get showered then myself a coffee and go for a long walk, along one of the nature trails we have nearby.
Back home for some time on the Xbox, then some light house work and a bit of lunch. I might put the BBQ on later.
Son on business in Ireland before back to Singapore. Flight cancelled ( BA again), so I drove down from Midlands to pick him up Friday evening.
Day with him yesterday. Bought clothes for granddaughters. Singapore is big money but very big prices too. UK doesn’t feel well off sometimes, but kids’ clothes are incredibly cheap compared to many countries.
Drove him back again yesterday evening. Quantas, this time, so uber reliable. Bit knackered so quiet morning.
Wasting my Sunday on a flight for work. AND there’s both a rail replacement bus for my train to London and the Heathrow Express has track work.
Similar to yesterday. I’ve just had breakfast after my night shift, I’ll have a shower, do a liberal application of magnesium stuff, then get into bed. I always feel a bit ripped off when I have to sleep through sunny days. I’d rather be tinkering in the garden.
Free day, kiddos are away! Going to be alternating between cleaning, tidying, eating, crafting, and gaming!
Taking the kids up to a big empty car park so they can race their RC cars, then back home to get a beef Ragu on. Take in all the cushions off the outdoor furniture before it pisses it down. That’s it for me.
Oh, and unfortunately there is a crate of beer in the fridge. Guess I’ll be tackling that issue too.
Off to Chessington!
Edit: wish me luck or a swift death on the vampire.
Usual Sunday jobs, kids off to birthday party for a whole afternoon and it’s parents drop off!!! Wahoo! So I’m going to the gym, walk back, sit in the garden and do absolutely nothing, in peace and quiet.
Wash bedding, sit in the garden with a cup of tea while it’s still sunny. Did all my cleaning yesterday, just need to hoover. Then probably gaming, dog walk and then boyfriend is over for dinner.
Getting ready to go on holiday tomorrow and at this stage fully appreciating taking a break from a Discord server I stopped enjoying despite using the block function. Guess it’s important to take time outs from apps and things just like anything when they make you feel frustrated. Hoping to hit the gym and play some PS5
Not doing much today. Currently I’m reading in bed with a coffee.
Might make a start on the paint by numbers kit that I bought myself ages ago.
A few random thoughts.
One of my neighbours has a gorgeous pink shrub. I want to know what it is cos I want one but I don’t want to ask but I also don’t want to be creepy by going to get a closer look at it to take a photo and let me phone do the work at telling me what it is.
I’ve got a load of washing in the washing machine that should be done any time now. I set it to finish “in 11h”… that was about 11.5h ago so should be done but I can hear it whirring away.
Then I need to put my bathmat in. It’s a pain cos it’s pure white so I do that alone, and it takes forever to dry. It has muddy footprints on it so do need to do it. I figure if I get it done today and outside it might be dry before the rain comes.
Other than that, and a quick vacuum in the living room and stairs, that’s the extent of plans for today. I had my niece and nephew over yesterday and we did a massive game of hide and seek for like 2h. My niece (almost 4) doesn’t like the dark but I put her in a kitchen cupboard with a torch and a bag of crisps and she was happy. Anyway I’m still tired from that so going to have a day either in the garden on a chair or on the sofa depending on how warm it is haha.
Suffering currently on day 4 of a wisdom tooth appearing, iv got teething gel and paracetamol which isnt touching the sides so off to boots for something stronger in a bit.

Plan: laundry, cleaning, coffee. Laundry again. It’s wild.
