Freedom to take time off whenever
Enjoyed a morning of crochet and audiobook
Skip arrived & they got it onto the drive without me moving the car
It was much quicker to empty the loft than I expected & am very glad I asked for help
Someone asked for the pictures & they were saved from being junk
My parents are happy for me to visit for my mum's birthday & friend is available the weekend I've suggested visiting him
Looking back over old photos was enjoying, & I've had a digital purge as well as a physical one
Thankful
I've created a gratitude blog, things I'm thankful for. A store of happy memories and positive thoughts :-)

Easy
Thankful for an easy day at work
I'd done a good job with my document last week, quick checks revealed no mistakes
Remembered to update the questions the boss wanted
Got out for a walk at lunch
Enjoyed chatting with my niece
Finally started on the dragon shawl, & it's easier than I expected
One of the new games arrived
The castles tiles fit nicely into one of the plastic trays & that fits nicely into the box

Hobbies
The traffic wasn't bad & I like being able to jump in the car & drive places, thankful I know how to drive & have a reliable car
We played a game that I used to find a struggle, have got quicker with my turns & actually won for a change
I set the game up & it was nice that husband was the one who said, "let's play this then", & he said we can play again tomorrow
Meeting friends for a walk & a catch-up tomorrow
The final challenge I was waiting for got released
Had a fun day with board games, got a few achievements,
Enjoying the cross stitch too
Have loved being off & having so much free time
