Mixed week

Week got off to a good start, walked into town and back as I had an appointment at the Job Centre, saw someone new and will see someone else next time.

Tuesday found out that I had won a competition on Facebook, £97 worth of colouring pencils.

Wednesday I received my prize, not taken them out of the box yet!  Scared to use them!

Thursday, went to Craft Group showed off my pencils, got a bit advice from them and from some of my Facebook friends and have pledged to use them and take in what I have done to next week.  Got a new ID card, photo too and hopefully means I can operate the car park barriers!

Today, Friday had hoped to do some crafting but woke up with sore sinuses again and a headache so went back to bed, got up for lunch, watched a bit of telly and then had another nap!  Hope it means I can sleep tonight.  Headache and sinus pain seems to have eased.

Tomorrow I craft.

Still feeling poorly but being productive

Still suffering from this cold/flu bug, had to cancel going to my volunteer job at my local hospice today, fingers crossed I can go next week.

Yesterday I had to miss a funeral of a lovely man, his daughter has been a friend since childhood.  Have many happy memories of him and lessons learned about committing yourself at a particular local junction, the difference between Scots and Scotch and what TMC stands for on local lorries.  My Dad and my friend’s Dad were our drivers to and from ballet classes, taking it in turn to take and collect us from lessons and rehearsal.  Both true gentlemen and sadly missed.

Made a birthday card for a friend’s birthday on Saturday, hope he likes it.  Just about managed walk to postbox.

Also helped take down the Christmas decorations down, now have to get them put back in the loft at the weekend.

Also been spending gift voucher from a friend, more books and got a craft order I treated myself to.

Day Two

Started out with all good intentions this morning to get out and active.  Was going to go for a walk to our new M&S to see how long it takes to walk but was thwarted on the way by rain.

Rained most of the day so walk will have to be delayed until tomorrow.

On the plus side did get to the postbox to post out the three cards I made yesterday and have a few more that need to be done ready to be posted out later in the week.  So 7 minutes walking 44 calories burned is better than nothing.

One day in to the New Year and I have been very productive.

Three cards made today, an 80th birthday card, a get well card and a birthday card.

Have set up my reading challenge for the year on Goodreads.

For some reason this did not post yesterday so here it is today
