yesterday:

40 mph speed limit as I joined the motorway

100 mins to work

10.50 breakfast

2.50 lunch (both when I mutinied and stopped working for a minute to eat)

at home

1 plastic box resorted

2 bags of rubbish disposed of

3 rows of beaded wrap done.

Today:

no speed limit (other than the usual one on the motorway).

120 minutes to work 🙁 This despite us managing to leave earlier than ever before – the motorway was clear, but every road at the other end of it was blocked! And I did make the mistake of saying, we’re nice and early, we’ll pop and get some petrol. Cost us about 40 minutes I think.

Breakfast was at 9.30

Lunch at 12.19.

Turned around 3 calls – this is a good thing.

Home in decent time, now wondering what to do next.

Happening of the day – Big telling Tim and me what something is – some kind of fruit I’d never heard of that they had at school today. Coo, that’s the beginning of the end then.

Edited to add: another three rows, dropped the bowl of beads (twice!) and I’ve finished the first ball of yarn. Time for another row or two 🙂

  1. Get rid of your car get a tandem. Come to think of it, with three you need a Goodies bike.
    Goody goody gum gum.

  2. We rode our bikes today, a journey that, door to door, would usually take at least an hour (OK, it’s on the bus, but still…) On bikes, we were home and de-coated in half an hour. I’m feeling very virtuous and ‘green’….
    Alriiight, we only rode because I can’t afford the bus fare this week, but I still felt good, very cold mind, but good!
