I think it was John Lennon who said, 'Life is what happens, when you're busy making other plans. And that's been me these last few days.
I did not have a good slimming world food plan weekend, but from Monday I was determined to keep to the plan, I'd got used to having a biscuit with my mid afternoon cup of tea, so said to Dh ..'no more.' And would you believe it, at the afternoon craft group I've joined, it was someone's birthday and she had made scones and flapjacks biscuits. To refuse would have been very rude, wouldn't it? So I had a flapjack. It was delicious with nuts and fruits, and I loved it, think I need the recipe!
Saturday was so sunny and warm, I planned to sow some seeds yesterday in my little seed trays with lids. Lupins, Sweet peas and Zinnias that need heat, so I'd have the trays on our window sills.
Something I usually do outside as I get compost everywhere.. and it has poured down all day. So that put paid to that idea..
As its half term, we don't have a Welsh Lesson today, which in some respects is good, because it will be a day for us to catch up on some 'extra' cleaning. The bits that aren't an every week task. We need to empty our little pantry. We have some free standing shelves in it and we really need to move one to the other side of the entrance. Then paint the walls, which were done when we moved in, but now need re-doing. Its going to be at least a 3 day job so we need to get started.. but then we had a message to remind us the Gardening Group we belong to is still on a Monday afternoon and doesn't change to Tuesday till next month.. more plans gone array! Can we face the kitchen worktops filled with tins and packets for days??
So dare we plan to do it Tuesday, although I remember Dh saying we need some compost and with Homebase closing, he'd seen some at a good price at B&M, so lets get a coffee at Costa by Dunelm and then go to B&M to get a few bags.. Tuesday??
Ah well Ce le Vie!

Crazy how that always happens! It seems to be a rare day when things go as planned. How you enjoy your day anyway!
At least at our age we can more or less shift things around whenever we want to - unless they're GP or some other health appointments!
Hope things work out as planned!
It seems like if we do something on the spur of the moment, it gets done pretty easily and without interference. But when we make plans, that's when everything goes wrong.
I hope your plans work out in the end even if you have had to be a little flexible with the timing. I couldn't have resisted the birthday goodies either :-)
As Burns said (in effect) about the best laid plans of mice and men . . . and isn't that so very true. xx
It will no doubt get done at some point. I'd go out and enjoy myself whilst I can. Houseworky/gardening jobs will always be there - unfortunately! Xx
I would like interruptions if painting was involved too.
Sometimes plans just don't work out ...
All the best Jan
I've been waiting to get out and sow some seeds but rain keeps stopping play. Perhaps tomorrow? It's supposed to be a better day, so Google says it 😏
Kind of how it goes, most of the time! We make plans, then life happens. One thing for sure, you two aren't bored!
