Friday 29th October 2021

Quieter day today and very pleasant outside. Normally I’m in town on a Friday, but my gym session was switched to yesterday, so I caught up with the food shop then. Mind you, there wasn't much food in the co-op. No fresh produce - a whole aisle of empty shelves, hardly any meat or milk. It's becoming fairly common these days, which is worrying.

Anyway, I wanted to get out into the garden and catch up on some jobs I've been meaning to get around to. But then I made the mistake of tidying up the house first and then doing a couple of bits of committee admin. Of course, by then it was lunchtime, and I allowed myself to do a few rounds on my sock knitting. In the end it was after One when I got out, and my heart wasn't really in it. I did a couple of bits and pieces - cleared round a few shrubs, put some mulch down and cut back some overgrowth, but I had lost the spark.

Note to self - get outside first.

The boy was home early, as it was Friday, so that was me in. I lit a fire and finished my socks. There's a picture of them on instagram.

Then dinner and TV - we're working our way through Parks and Recreation. All in all it was a mildly productive day. I’m hoping to go for a swim tomorrow.
