Playtime

Up and at 'em at silly o'clock this morning which made for a very nice day.  It did feel like a frustrating sort of a day though - every turn I made I saw jobs that needed doing.  I start on one job which leads me to another part of the house, I turn around and see another job so I start on that..........never ending circles of frustration.

Another frustration has emerged over the last couple of days too.  I dug some flowers up and offered the overspill on Neighbourly, free to anyone who wanted them.  Most people have been great.....they've texted ahead to ask if a particular time suited for pick up, they've offered me plants in return and one lady even gave me a bar of chocolate by way of thanks.  All lovely ways of showing gratitude.  Then there are the one or two who seem to want me, the one donating free stuff, to bend over backwards to work around their time frames.  And then there are the responses like "I'll take some, when can I pick them up?" with never a hint of gratitude, a please or thankyou to be seen. I don't begrudge the giving but some people's sense of entitlement I find very discomforting.

Rant over - back to the warmth of the living room and a nice glass of red.
