Hello everyone! @Aria999 your temperatures sound exceedingly cold! Do you get long spells like this? I had some moon boots years ago that I used in the snow after a skiing trip. Beautifully warm and non slippy. Winter is mostly mud here, and this is why we don't cope well when it's suddenly icy I think. My slips were in a stable yard which we should have gritted, in hindsight. I will look more closely at my wellies as the heels are probably a bit worn.
You've all been busy. Good to see you going back to the one project @petalpower Sorry your kettle didn't survive the descaling, but I see you've inspired the rest of the gang! 😁 I should look at mine too.
I'm another who thrives on routine, I have discovered as I get older. I used to feel that spontaneity was more fun but then I looked at habit stacking and daily rhythms, and now I get more done and I'm more peaceful with it. I used to get overwhelmed with piles of laundry @sortmyselfoutagain ( love the name!) till i discovered flylady ( I know she's a bit marmite but I take what I can use) and started doing a daily load too. First thing in the morning, in, on, done! My habit is now simply to check the laundry basket, but we do at least 5 loads a week.
I need to clean out my car. It's become a bit of a dumping ground so I'm going to start bringing something in with me each time I've used it, so I can vaccum it. Coats, hats, my mother's knitting bag, birdseed, an empty box, spare boots, crumpled dust sheet from last trip to tip. Food wrapping 😳 And quite a lot of mud. General grot, in short. And then, per my beloved flylady - bring things in after every trip and keep it fit for passengers! I also want to sort out a box of emergency gear ( first aid, blanket, water etc) and a place for the spare boots that's not the back seat!
Best i get on with it. Have a great day, all 💐
