What a difference a day makes!!

Yesterday I was all [insert word for whatever is the bah humbug New Year equivalent] – it was the same old, same old here…but today is much better!

So, as I do, let’s examine what has changed and made it better:

• Read back on some family letters and realised/acknowledged that I am missing some important people in my life – but I get to see many of them again soon J
• Went for a fantastic walk this morning, met a couple of neighbours along the way so we had nice chats and then cooked myself a scrummy breakfast – real coffee (of course), fried tomatoes (I picked them yesterday J), poached egg from our new ‘layer’ “Miss Clucky” (she’s a talker – more info to follow) and a slice of wholemeal sourdough, toasted J.
• Spent some time in the garden J - dug potatoes, watered seeds, composted J.
• Found some bargains at the Vinnies as we dropped No.1 son off for his usual volunteer morning.
• Spent a couple of lovely hours on the beach with the little kids and the puppy and they all played so nicely with lots of other doggies J.
• Home just now for another yum coffee and yummy lunch J.
• Sitting now with worn-out puppy on my lap while I am typing this up J.

 So, a good day and I like that a lot!!!

This helped too – read it and see if it resonates with you xx.

Hmm, I wonder if this de-cluttering is addictive?  Can probably hope!!

Day three – very pleased with cleaning these cupboards.  I didn’t actually turf anything because we use the vast majority (I am not die-hard, I am keeping some stuff that I assume we will get around to using soon-ish….watch this space…)

Now this, this you should be totally amazed to see!!   This is our cupboard of lunch containers and water bottles – it was frightening before – you know the one, you throw the item in and close the door before it all falls out??

Lookie now:

Gees, I am good!!!

And because my list included de-cluttering the Tupperware pile too, which we keep in the pantry, I just kept going afterwards and now this cupboard looks like this:

All clean, all tidy - and all the top bench and shelf wiped over and many plastic storage containers put into use like they are supposed to be!!!

Looking good pantry, looking good!

Oh, and I just had a thought…some are converting their pantry storage back to glass only….hmmm,  another time I think….gonna savour this happiness for a while yet :-).

Tuesday – potting bench in action :-)

 

We sowed lots of fun seeds – lots of heirlooms and lots of flowers for bees :-)

Yesterday before 6.10am :-)…

Chickens good morning-ed – new branch to climb, explore, peck, scratch, enjoy :-)

Puppy walked :-) and back inside :-(

One compost heap turned :-)

Next one nearly done – so close it hurts – I *am* definitely working on it…

…ok, I was only sending telepathic thoughts for it to turn itself…

Pacing myself, people, pacing myself ;-)
