This most gentle of threads always makes me think of v4 of 'New every morning...' Possibly (if not previously used) 'The trivial round, the common task' might make a thread title?
A busy day out and about and hotfooting it back for a zoom meeting this afternoon, and another this evening. Weather bright and cold. Salmon and roasted vegetables for tea.
Enough sun, and just about enough air movement to dry a load of towels on the line in the garden.
Well, to almost dry them, enough dampness left in them for it not to be sensible to fold them and put them away immediately, so they are now on a couple of airing racks and will be properly dry before bedtime.
Other than that I got the sewing machine out for the first time in I don't know how long, and tackled some mending.
Off shortly for my third event today. Exercise group, u3a Scrabble group and choir. I’m shattered already. Twelve events in seven days. The dentist has just texted me wanting me to go on Friday instead of Friday next week. No can do.
I'm in a Facebook group called 'The washing line appreciation society'. It's really enjoyable and interesting (honest!) There are 40k members from all over the world. We simply share photos of our washing lines. Mine are under a lean-to, so my washing goes out in all weathers.
I now have a functioning, closed window in the kitchen. Apparently what happened was that the offending gust of wind blew it in such a way that the little catch thingie engaged itself, locking it in an open position, which I was too short (and too short-sighted) to see. He not only managed to close it, but turned it back on itself and cleaned the outside (which had been dive-bombed by an evil-minded seagull some time ago), and wouldn't take any money for his trouble. I'm now looking forward to my electricity lasting a bit longer than it has been of late.
He also reckoned the windows would probably last another 20 years at least.
I love Linlithgow tradesmen!
Once he'd gone, supper was fish cakes with greens and potato salad.
