What did you do today?

[Dowser]

I slept late..like 1/4 to 12 late
Had a thumping head and sore throat...but rallied
Put together a box of muesli
Chatted to a few friends on the phone who live alone
Bit of tidying
And cleaned these silver spoons which were black

2 breakfasts
Made a quiche and banana bread
8 mile walk
Played cards with the kids
Watched Royle Family again

Kids happily playing ludo in the living room, DH nodding off on the sofa and I'm in bed ready to get up at 6 for a very long day in the office.

Got up late, quick breakfast, watched friends then went for a walk with the kids.

Made more food, watched more friends. Printed some stuff out.

Lost my shit and cried for about 20 mins realizing just how shit this all is. Realised it's almost shark week, pulled myself together, made more food.

West Wing.

DH and DC let me have a lie in and did the housework quietly somehow while I was sleeping so I've had a nice relaxing day. I made a tuna and sweetcorn pasta salad for lunch and made chicken and leek in white sauce with rice for dinner and the rest of the day I've just been playing on the computer (The Sims) or watching TV (catching up on a few different things.)

I did have the satisfaction of finding and removing the one really thick eyebrow hair that keeps growing in though.

Had a lie in until 9:30
Went for a walk with the dog
Lunch
Exam revision whilst dh entertained the kids
Watched Jungle Book and The Little Mermaid with my youngest.
Cooked and ate a roast for tea
More TV until bed
I must admit today was a very boring day!

Had some porridge and toast and cup of coffee for late breakfast
Put on load of washing
Binge watched series 5 of Spooks on BBC iPlayer
Had a coffee and Snickers bar for tea as I was not particularly hungry.

How long did your 8 mile walk take you?

Got up late, had breakfast, Skyped to relatives, a bit of maths with DD, made lunch, short walk, then DD and I did crafts and cooked dinner, a bit of TV and cooking for tomorrow, DD’s bedtime, now I’m trying to do timetable for tomorrow - the first week was pretty relaxed as we all felt a bit stressed now it’s time for more structure.
It’s quiet day mostly because of freezing weather and clock changing.

Had a lie in
Went for a drive with DC
Did the housework
Made a picnic for DC out of leftover bits in the fridge
Went to 3 different shops to find garlic bread
Made spag bol (without garlic bread )
Bike ride with DC around the estate before bedtime
Had a lovely bath with my new bath salts
I am currently watching the latest episode of Friday night dinner With a cuppa and a biscuit

Got up late
Leisurely breakfast
Caught up with friends on WhatsApp
Argued with randoms on social media
Dog walk
Made big batch of Butternut squash soup
Made dinner
Played family game of Articulate
Went back to arguing with people on social media

Lie in
Cleaned (again)
Planter bulbs and tidied garden
Drove to local shop (just to escape boredom for 20 mins)
Cooked
Baked scones
Watched a film

Zzzzzzz

Loofah No don't go to different shops for garlic bread - please

Worked the night shift last night so got home about 08:00. Had a cup of tea and home made rock cakes for breakfast, then washed and went to bed. Was woken up multiple times, by noisy neighbours, so eventually got up at about 13:30. Other half made us all Dahl for lunch, so had that, then chilled, in front of the telly all afternoon, between tidying kitchen, doing a load of washing and helping to cook dinner. Am now chilling in bed as I can't sleep even though I was knackered earlier!

@OhioOhioOhio why you asking? Just because you obviously know it was more than 1 hour?

Took me 2:15. Up a mountain (which I live at the bottom of at 800ft above sea level) and saw absolutely no one.

Just realised that today has been virtually identical to yesterday
Yesterday's post:
