Happy Monday!

It’s been a week, work is busy as I’m trying to learn and I’m taking in something else! The something else is supporting my old boss, who is our company Chief of Staff. However, he mostly looks after himself so it shouldn’t be too onerous, although I’m continually shocked by how responsible people think I am, it’s a source of constant surprise!

I also got a last minute appointment for a ultrasound, on Friday morning. It wasn’t pleasant but like all of these things (smears etc) 15 minutes of being self conscious and physically uncomfortable is better than discovering too late that you have something untreatable. I have a fibroid (truly I am my mother’s child!), I need to follow up with the doctor to work out what (if any) action the doctor wants to take but I would rather have a hysterectomy than five up my HRT! We’ll see.

At home, it’s been a week of new toys. A dehydrator and more excitingly my birthday present from Ma. A Kitchen Aid mixer. Isn’t it pretty?

I got out to the beer festival on Friday night, drinking beer in the rain is probably one of the more British things I’ve done this year!

The weather over the weekend made a plot visit difficult, so on Saturday I finally got around to cleaning the oven! Not sure if it was the chemicals but on Saturday afternoon, I had another migraine.

Ma’s trick knee is playing up so on Sunday, I went to the plot to gather some supplies and spent some time on the bus to visit Ma.

Beetroot, potatoes, gooseberries, carrots and blueberries. The wine didn’t come from the plot though! I’ve been saying it’s a bad year, but we’ll still getting food!

This week’s plans are mostly the same as last week’s. Work is busy, we have a new starter and I have 2024 planning to start. Home is also busy because I need to catch up with the laundry and start prepping for jam making! However, I have no major social plans but I do need to hash out birthday drink celebrations!

Have a good week!
