Also that the roads were quiet and I got fuel for the car, ready for longer journeys tomorrow and Wed.

That I got my stories finished with a little help from husband and friend.  Thankful for friends who have read and commented.  

The book I want to read is in the library catalogue so I placed a reservation, proud of myself for not just buying it.

Also remembered a new bin calendar and managed to get a 2024 one, with husband's help.
