Happy Monday!

Last week was the beginning of my ‘more social than I’m used to’ October.

First, however, I had to deal with plumbing. Apparently, there is a leak from my flat into downstairs. I have no earthly idea how because the shower isn’t leaking and I hardly shower (I prefer baths except for hairwashing day!). However, landlords werer called and the plumber came and there is a leak on the pipe that feeds into the toilet, which isn’t above the flat downstairs, it’s above my stairs, but I suppose that could be it. Anyway, landlords were called and that got fixed on Wednesdays.

It did necessitate a small clear out and re-arrange of the cupboard of doom but it took me a couple of days to get the flat back under control.

With the added work stress of trying to get all the quarterly reporting together, if felt like a difficult week. On Friday, I got a flu jab and on Friday night I stayed with Ma, so we could go and get her flu and COVID jab on Saturday morning and then do the usual Saturday things. Saturday afternoon/evening, I did housework and prep (I’m happy to report that I’m up to date with my ironing!) because I had plans on Sunday.

On Sunday morning, I had a quick couple of hours at the plot and then Christelle, Mike and I went to the Grayson Perry exhibit at Pitzhanger Manor. Mike has never been to Pitzhanger Manor before and Christelle hasn’t been since it’s been restored so we got art and history in one go and then had lunch.

This week, is the usual round of work, home and mother, and also Grace on Saturday night and on Sunday I’m back to Surbiton for family lunch for my brother’s birthday, we’re going to Hart’s Boatyard, which means I’m going to spend a lot of time on the bus, which is where I’m getting my down time at the moment!

Have a good week!
