Meeting friends tomorrow at the woods. Then a film and dinner with husband and friend.3

Crescendo

Thankful husband makes so many of the decisions, & not in a controlling way.  I love the easy way he just deals with things.  And he fixed the tap.

I found my statistics course books and have a better chance of working through the examples this weekend now. Also made a few more notes on the practice assessment. 

Got the first build finished, and the report drafted for the other.  So a reasonably successful day workwise.

Made it to most of Pilates.  Friend is talking aviut recording some half hour sessions to share with us which will be nice, I have great intentions...

Two of my entries to the college competition got long listed. Am really happy husband's agreed to come with me.  The flyer says friends and family welcome.. my name is getting out there in dome ways it's a shame I didn't go to Shannon's

Fun

Snuggling on sofa with husband. 

Out for a couple of walks in the sunshine.

Did a smidgen of tidying / cleaning

He's interesting to listen to.  While being kind and sweet.  He's been a great influence on me.

Remembered I didn't like the last chilli fries so had sweet potato and chicken tenders.  Chicken for breakfast and lunch tomorrow too.  Managed to keep husband out again, & collected him on time

am impressed he's coning to the awards on Tuesday.  Thinking i'll wear my hoodie dress, be a form of presentable just in case

Made my own hot chocolate, mostly I like it during the day rather than at night.  Saved husband from the washing up

Contract  cane through s- will see if there are bank 'holiday's included.  Asked about name and address 

The datasets can be expanded to continent's and date cam be turned  into years, or mY e arise series, time weighted averages and 

Sleep.    Remembered to phone doctors and scan is ultrasound as he says it would be  beneficial.

Smart

Thankful the bus let me pull out, as did the guy who was turning in.

I got into my revolut & have reset the login details

I got husband to the dentist on time & managed to collect him & get back home before my call.

Got a few more admin tasks completed, & was helpful to husband - figured a few things out & am feeling smart again.

Counselling was good, happy I found one I like who works in a manner that suits me.  I am getting more comfortable with her.  

It's been a sunny day, & I got a walk in at lunch.

Found a data set to use in my project and have already started looking it and getting basic data from, & found some errors in the data (no omissions, more like typos), someone else had already created maps with the datasets.  Not the maps I want but it's a start.  Plus I see how it would be useful to perform some of the tasks with python or R, and slowly build confidence- and then there are the plotting options for the data - all the different visualisations...

Relieved to be exciting by the project now I've started it.  And the smaller ones should be simple enough.
