So Busy

Saturday 15th April

I have always been a busy person, rushing from one job to another seems to be my permanent default mode.  Maybe it’s because I cannot bear to think of a job waiting to be done – I cannot put off till tomorrow what can be done today.  Or maybe I am just OCDC or whatever the pet phrase is now.  I was brought up with phrases such as ‘the devil makes work for idle hands’ ringing in my ears; even as a child I had my jobs to do around the house, whether it was washing up (or more likely drying, as Dad always seemed to be the one who got the washing up chore) or polishing the families’ shoes, I was always busy.  But even when I am relaxing (hahaha) I am quickly catching up on the news, or trying to get a few pages of reading under my belt.  And remember all those promises I made to myself beginning “when I retire”.  Haha…retirement seems even busier.  As well as a tight decorating schedule (self-imposed I must add) there is the café to open in the mornings, and to close up at lunchtime, and this evening we have a ‘pop-up’ restaurant again, so it was hoovering and moving and laying up tables and sorting out the wines for tonight.  And little Polly, one of our dogs, has been a bit poorly so another visit to the vets, and suddenly the day has gone.

And you may (or may not, of course) have noticed that I have missed a few days blogs lately.  Just too busy; we have had some glorious weather and the lawn needs cutting and the hedges need trimming and people keep inviting us to barbeques or dinners, and we seem to have no time for anything.  At least we aren’t sitting in high backed chairs, propped up with cushions and watching Jeremy Kyle all day….
