My focus has been elsewhere for the past couple of days as well as being out and about. Tomorrow is another full day but I hope to have a blog post for you tomorrow evening.
I hope you are having a relaxed and peaceful weekend.
Back soon.
I have not posted anything for the past couple of days as I have been totally committed to work. We have had colleagues from interstate working with us for a few days and I had to give it my undivided attention so as to maximise the results from being able to work face-to-face. Despite all of the advances in technology which allow us to connect via, phone, email and videoconferencing, there is nothing quite like being able to sit down and look at the same work together.
Everyone has headed back to their respective locations and I am now home with the prospect of 5 days at home stretching out in front of me. It really does feel like Friday! I will be doing some work from home tomorrow but other than that my time is my own. As an added bonus we have a long weekend due to the Australia Day holiday on Monday.
I hope to make some progress on a number of projects around the house and garden and I am sure I will have lots to show you.
We have the prospect of slightly cooler weather for the next few days and possibly some heavy rain. I think the first thing I will do is make sure all of the washing is up to date while the weather is still fine.
It is lovely to have time to look forward to spending as I choose rather than having a diary crammed full of appointments.
Do you plan every moment or do you go with the flow, so to speak?
While there is always something that can be found to do, it is a great feeling to know that the everyday tasks are all done.
Yesterday I did 4 loads of washing which included the bed linen and towels for both The Duke and I plus our most recent Air BnB guests who departed yesterday morning. The washing and ironing are all done, I have a meal ready for dinner tomorrow night, the bathroom is clean and beds freshly made. The dishes are done and lunches partly made for tomorrow.
So, there is nothing left to do apart from settle into bed with a new magazine that my mother passed on to me recently.
The housework will return soon enough but for now I am going to indulge myself.
I am very pleased that it is the end of the week at work and we have time to relax and unwind. To some, our weekends seem very busy but it is a different kind of busy from our Monday to Friday office jobs.
Tonight we went to a local pizza restaurant for dinner. We enjoyed our meal and the singer with his guitar added very pleasant background music. A relaxing start to the weekend.
Tomorrow we will see Missy and Belle plus we want to look for some new handles for a silky oak dressing table we are restoring.
What do you have planned? Or do you let the weekends just unfold as they happen?
Have a great weekend whatever you do.
