Happy Tuesday!

Yesterday was the last Bank Holiday until Christmas and I just realised last week that it’s starting to get dark at night. Yes, I know it happens every year. Yes, I know that I should be used to it by now. And yes, I know I whine about it every year, this is my space where I get to do that if I want to but if you need to go elsewhere because you want to be excited about autumn, please go and do that. Why do you think I use this space to whine about it. Everyone I know in real life is very tired of the whinging on!

All that to say, I suddenly realised we are four months away from the end of the year and I’m going to have to get a lot more organised, if I want to get through it without sinking into a depression…

Aside from my existential dread of the cold, dark part of the year, last week was fine, I guess. I still didn’t feel much better but by Friday was so incredibly bored of it, I decided that if rest wasn’t working, I’d just burn it out with activity. This was partially fuelled by the knowledge that Josephine was coming to dinner on Monday and she hasn’t seen it since the work and I do like my living space to look nice for other people.

Washing was done and ironed and put away, things were tidied. Ma and I had a really good day on the plot on Saturday and while I’m never really ready to go back to work, I’m feeling that the work is doable rather than last week’s feeling that I was in way over my head!

Jo and T came over for dinner last night and goodness, the godchild is looking very grown up!

Plans for the rest of this week are very quiet. I have a Grace dinner on Wednesday and a haircut on Friday and everything else is the usual work, housework, allotment and for added fun jam making!

It’s all go for the middle aged this week!

Have a good week!
