Fail. After yesterday's smugness, today haunts me with a failure, I have not baked today. The indulgent side of me got far too greedy and took the afternoon off with a friend chatting and planning and chewing the cud on issues close to our hearts and drinking far too much coffee. Was a brilliantly fun afternoon but not without guilt. After she left I dashed around making the bed, putting washing away and painting the fence just so that when Henri got home he'd think I'd been a wonderful busy and acconmplished wife! Chores done in haste always means something goes awry. I mean seriously how idiotic is it to creocote a fence in a white t-shirt? I was so busy slapping the stuff on the fence to at least complete some of today's challenge that I didn't realise I had also decorated (Henri's) white T-shirt, my face and my arms! There was zero point in protecting my hands with builders gloves! However, all is not lost today I have managed to:
- Stripped bed
- Took Digby on extra long walk (sounds like I am a great pooch owner right? I must confess the ulteriror motive was actually to tire him so that when Lou came over he was too tired to want to continually bring her his ball to throw!)
- Washed the laundry
- Hung out laundry on the line (it is nearly dry out the clouds look dangerously like the are forming an evil plan to soak it all!)
- Re-made bed (anyone else hate doing this - the duvet is a simple design but it's such a devil to get in it's cover!)
- Made Italian ribs with tomoatoe, mozzerella and basil salad
- Painted 3rd coat of creocote on fence
- Picked up pooch poo (Oooo the glamour)
And working on the Goddess in me; I have:
- Took off all nail varnish and treated nails
- Spoke with mother at length
- Had coffee / lunch/ more coffee with Lou - a 5 hour treat!!
