3 Good Things - Tues 5th Feb

1. Remembering to buy corn flour so I could thicken the sauce on my dinner!
2. An unexpected parcel (well I knew it was coming as M had asked if she should forward it but I didn't know what was going to be in it when it got here!)
3. Brilliant landlords (I went downstairs to see if I could borrow the iron, an hour and a glass of wine later I came back iron in hand!!)

Four weeks in...

Well there we have it. Four weeks back in Exeter and three weeks into a three month job.

The only non consumable I bought this week were some clothes hangers as I miscalculated what I bought with me and had too many things to a hanger and kept forgetting what was there!!

I couldn't decide whether to go to Lidl or Tesco yesterday so decided to let the bus choose. Whichever came first would decide and Tesco it was!! I did spend quite a lot but reckon, apart from picking up some fresh veg during the week that lunches for this week and dinners for this week and most of next are sorted.  I had a lovely walk down at Exeter Quay making the most of the sunshine. Browsing the antiques and craft shops and listening to the water as it tumbled over the weir. 
 Maidstone is definitely missing a trick where the river is concerned!!

The last four weeks have gone by pretty fast looking back and I have to admit I've done nothing in relation to any long term plan. I had three viewings in one day last week but as yet I haven't had any feedback so I don't know how interested any of them were. I really ought to make some sort of long term plan but at the moment I'm quite happy to stick my head in the sand!!


3 Good Things - Sun 3rd Feb

1. Reading a whole book in a day with no interruptions (except lunch and the odd cup of tea!)
2. Eating one of the new slow cooker dishes and knowing I'll be making it again - yummy
3. Discovering Raymond Feist will be doing a small tour in the UK in May

3 Good Things - Sat 2nd Feb

1. Walking round Exeter Quay in the sunshine
2. Having a productive day - shopping, cooking, washing, enjoying the sunshine
3. Getting two bunches of carnations for the price of one 'coz the lady on the stall thought they'd got a bit battered due to the weather. This meant I had enough to do two lots of flowers...

In the bedroom (which still includes a few bits from the lot I bought two weeks ago!)



And on the kitchen windowsill - the bottle had been sitting there for a while waiting for me to take it to the glass bank down the road, glad I didn't now!
