Productive

Actually continued the roll of finding things to declutter.
Some stuff went in the bin, some stuff was good to rediscover
Had a laugh with a friend over some of the old things I found
Contact is taking some of the stuff I have spare, & the rest is ready for charity collection 
Managed to get some more of my report written too, some decent progress made. 
Ate early and was fine for ball class
Got the bedding changed 
Walk with husband, the bakery had roulade so we have a new year treat
Got my prescription painlessly 
Thankful no-one got in touch workwise

Fun

Work was easy and quiet
Fun chatting with friends
Glad I asked about the distance and we took th shorter option
Also very glad to suggest the new van and the others enjoyed it
Found it ok, better than going back to the town
Enjoyed my cake
Treated us to some relish
The expansion arrived and looks good
Might have found someone with a van who wants the bigger pieces of furniture I'm decluttering
Happy to have the push to clear the table and declutter / tidy a few bits

Stitches

Finished the bauble - phew!  It looks good.  

Have several smaller pieces of background that will work for it if I decide to do more.

The black aida arrived and I have it counted - will need to drop off a row and column to make the intended pattern fit - challenge accepted.

An old contact got in touch for gaming.  Have arranged for him to come here rather than meeting in town.  Looking forward to it.

Made it to pilates and enjoyed the session.  Just as well she mentioned that the ball class is later than usual so I have a hope of making that too.

Relaxing

It was dry for my walk
Post collection is 5pm
Got eggs and soda bread - shelves had been restocked
Dinner was yummy
Won the game even though husband had the stronger board
Set up the next game, I remember it being fun
Managed weights again - maybe ready to get the next set out of the garage!
Glad we have the weights and the machine
Glad I am mobile and reasonably flexible
Nearly finished the bauble - it looks lovely
Finished another book and found another series I might enjoy
Finally managed to win the game I've been stuck on all day
Glad I have nothing to do except take it easy this holiday
Relieved I didn't make many plans so I have plenty of free time

Early

For being able to edit, so I can do grats early and edit later
Remembering to come back to them
Another day off -loving the lie in
Another gaming session - glad the group exists and I can turn up if I want.  They're nice people
Enjoyed the session.  Also glad to leave early
Modern devices - the washer and dish washer and dryer, tasks are quick and simple
The shop was open and I got the eggs and oranges I went for
Noticed the bread was mouldy before I ate by
Made plans with a friend
Picked the final colour for the current cross stitch project
Found a snowflake pattern for next

Relaxing

Husband likes the new game, we played quite a lot today.  He's also just ordered the expansion.

Just one sleeve short!  More on the way. 

Finally got round to snap and claim for the pile of receipts that were sat on my desk.

Found some scraps big enough for the bauble design.  Am managing ok with metallic threads.

Caught up with a few friends

Got a walk in to the chippie.  Love that we have shops close enough to walk to
