I spend most of the day researching topics for my weekly vlogs – I intend to film a couple of extra videos prior to our holiday next month, so that I can schedule them to be published whilst we are away. I’m struggling a little with motivation, though, and by the end of the day I really am not much further forward than I was at the start.
Yesterday I promised one of our neighbours that I would give her a lesson on using her iPhone to send and receive email and text messages, so this afternoon I wander over to their house to (hopefully) impart the requisite knowledge. The back garden is a sea of expensive electric tools (they are in the middle of constructing a conservatory), but there’s no sign of anyone. The back door to the house is open, but there’s no response when I call out “anybody home?”. Even their dog has gone AWOL! After five minutes or so of hanging around waiting for someone to appear, I return home – the lesson will have to wait for another day.
I visit the allotment when I take the dog for her afternoon walk, harvest some runner beans, spinach and kale, and do a bit of weeding. Back at home, I vacuum downstairs and then collapse onto the sofa, exhausted.
