I’m feeling all let down. The sun is hiding today, after a bright start. And they’ve changed the forecast to ‘bright intervals’, whatever that means. It’s just not fair, is all.
Ah well. At least it’s not raining.
My scheduled activity today is to give the entire house a good clean so that all I need do from now on is a quick whiz round every day to keep it up to standard and ready for the return. I could wish there was something else I could do to be ready but it’s a foolish wish. If I didn’t lift a finger between now and reunion day then no matter how dusty and grimy Dolly and I might be there’s nothing Graham couldn’t fix given half a day and three mugs of tea.
All I’m doing is wishing the time away and I really don’t believe in doing that.
I came over all droozy yesterday at 20:30 and wanted nothing more than to go to bed. That’s a ridiculously early time even for me so I fought it off, entertaining myself on the computer, until 10:00 when I took myself off for a jolly good but thoroughly unearned rest, sleeping soundly until 06:00.
Then I caught up with two TV programmes I’d missed, waffling and procrastinating until the morning is largely gone. One room is cleaned, but a single room does not a whole house make. No matter. My determination is still strong, so there’s a fair chance the job will get done.
It seems that waffling and procrastination is not confined to me. In the garden the birds have switched the volume and quantity of their song down and they sound rather feeble in comparison with the full-blown hallelujah chorus of the past few sunny days. I wonder if they know something the weather forecasters aren’t telling us?
