Growing old disgracefully

By GOD

THE DAY BEFORE

Having a typical day-before-the-holiday sort of day. I tend to have grandiose notions of what I will be able to achieve:

1.House sparkling clean - check, but then it wasn't me who cleaned it
2.Business admin sorted - nope been at it for four hours and think I may just have made it worse
3.Phone calls answered - nope...why does everyone phone the day before you go on holiday?
4.Emails answered - check, oh, no, here come another 15...
5.Garden produce harvested - nope, it will be a good week for the slugs and birds
6.Shed door painted - nope
7.Loft paint retouched - nope
8.Desk tidied - was just about to do it when I remembered I had not blipped
9.Packing list neatly typed and printed - check
10.Packing - of course not

Which explains this last minute blip out of my study window. I like the weather vane, particularly at this time of night when it is loaded with birds. I enjoy watching them and wondering what they are thinking. They just sit there, not looking for food, not fighting with one another, not preening, not singing, just being. Should be more like them.

GOOD THINGS
A cheeky wee coffee an dbacon roll in Largs with my favourite person
When 9 am tomorrow comes it will be too late to care about the tasks

EXERCISE DIARY
I went up and down the stairs a few times and lifted a lot of coffee cups
