Monday Aspirations

 I would ideally like to get out and about and forage.  That is weather dependent and it looks as though some rain is forecast for the next couple of days. However Wednesday is bright again. However on a practical basis that may not be open to me to do.  Will see what happens.

Realistically I have a load more washing to do and I need to start the ironing. Even if I cannot get to the washing I can get stuck in on the ironing and start some clearing.  It is Monday after all and maybe today should be just a day where I just get stuck in and set too with that big heap of ironing instead of allowing it to sit and stare at me and taunt me.  I really want it out of the way with so that I can then start working on tidying in the back room.

Also realistically need to look and see what flooring is available for the bathroom.  It is stuck in the back of the car at the moment.  If there is not enough, will get G to put it down in the Pantry. I have needed new flooring for the Pantry now for quite some while. It is not a big space, but it needs sorting.  Also the under-stairs cupboard also needs new flooring.  It may be that there will be enough to do both these small spaces. It would tidy them up an awful lot.  That way it will free the car up.  

We do need to pay a visit to the tip at some point. I also have the garden to tackle - not ready for that yet although am hoping to get out there and start.  I want the garden sorted, weeded and dug and covered up within the next six weeks or so.  I want the garden ready to go early on next year. 

I think perhaps in retrospect because of that it will be better for me to concentrate on some ironing today after all.  Everything seems to flow into something else down the line, no matter what jobs are planned.

There are a lot of outline plans for the future.  The bathroom needs decorating in any event.  The flooring may have to wait until the end of this new month before we are in a position to deal with this and get it sorted.

The kitchen for the best part is done.  It could really do with some more paint - which has always been anticipated, but it looks clean and tidy.  G has more or less sorted the light.  I do need a socket board fixing for the Microwave and Electric cooker.  So might ask him to look at that today as well. Then I should be able to use either the Microwave or the Electric cooker with the Rotisserie more easily. We need new flooring in the kitchen as well. That will be some way off though.  Just doing what we can, where we can without it costing an arm and a leg and making it clean and livable.

Knowing how things go here, its possible that none of the above will not happen at all and something else will take priority.  These are the hopes for today though.

Will catch up later on.
