done, doing, and to-do's 01:40:19 on Monday, March 9 2009

Another week done.  Tick.  Alot underway at present.  Tick.  And plenty more to keep me on my toes in the new week.  Tick, tick, tick. 

Last week was full - and mostly fantastic.  Lots of time spent on trains, travelling between appointments and schools up and down the UK.  I spoke to some fabulous young people earlier in the week - receptive audiences to whom I was introduced so warmly, and who gave me their attention and their time and we worked well together.  10 hours of trains in 2 days was alot of time to sit and think, and work, and read, and think some more.  Not just drifting thoughts and imaginings, but also constructive thinking and writing things down and gaining clarity. 

The week ended with a one-day total write-off.  Never had one before, never want one again, I had a migraine Not good, not nice, 36 hours of hideousness.  By saturday I was starting to "bounce back" but approached the weekend with trepidation, suspecting chaos and mess (and the cottage collapsing around my feet?!) as two rear windows were being replaced.  As it turned out, yes there was some mess, yes it has been non-stop all weekend with cleaning, clearing, sorting, but Len and Dad are my Super Hero's - job done (and a few more besides), and done well, and here's to an end to drafty rotten windows and here's to more warmth and home-improvement  

By the time I fell into bed last night, having put the paintbrush, vacuum cleaner, Flash, dustpan and brush, and hairdryer down, it was later than it is now, and I was tired, but well.  I slept soundly.  Today the work of the Super Hero's continued, and my main job was tea and sandwich maker, whilst also planting out hanging baskets and spending forever and a day cleaning out the potting shed (I laughed as I heard SuperHero number 1 refer to it as "the conservatory", ha ha, if only!  What it actually consists of is a tiny lean-to added on to the back of the cottage, full of flower pots and garden "stuff")

Next week is a busy busy working week.  Here there and everywhere.  Which is why I need to get some beauty sleep.  Good night reader, be good to yourself, and to others also.
