It’s the weekend!

It seems that no sooner has a week started then it’s over and I wonder where it went. Friday is always a good time to take stock and try to consider my achievements. I am trying to recognise that not all of them can be counted physically.

On a physical count I have finished hat number 5 and begun hat number 6. My plan is to have done at least 10 or 12 before I put them in the gîte, so I am about halfway there.

I am aware that I have dealt with feelings of panic and stress this week. I have overcome them by thinking about the processes that I have learnt through mindfulness. So I feel that I can count this as a significant achievement.

Having written a menu for the month I am using all of the meals on it but not necessarily in the order that I wrote them. This evening will be a quiche. I cooked it in the electric oven and feel much happier with the results this time.

Finally my husband makes me laugh and today he came up with a good one. He arrived in the kitchen saying, ‘Look I am the opposite of IKEA.’ I had forgotten that he had gone off with a broken chair. There was no intention to mend it. Now it’s firewood.

I hope you all have a good weekend. Until Monday…
