I was all set for a ‘ typical’ day, which was a bit silly to start with -Just shows us how we take this living thing for granted.

A minor tech issue ( not so minor in my world) set the day off a bit differently. No, that’s not entirely true His Nibs allowed me to sleep until about 6.30am. ( After getting us both up in the night by whining to go out. A gap in the fence has recently appeared, so heavens only knows what had managed to slither through. It’s cat central round here, so maybe Reggie from down the street was in for a mooch about? Yes, he could have come over the fence, but that’s cats for you.

In most people’s books tech issues are not issues. A simple adjustment and everything is cool.Thing is at Primary we had one small TV in the whole school. Wheeled into the classroom on a tall trolley, from the Visual Aids Room. Soo, digital is not second nature, sadly.

Anyways I got to grips with that and heard the letterbox rattle. There on the mat was one of those plastic bags from a charity saying they would be round our way on Friday. Funny that as I had hoping one would come my way as I had a few bits and bobs already to go, in a bag by the door. Perfect!

Because of said tech issue we were late going out. That was a lucky thing as I saw someone I hadn’t seen for a very long time and I had wanted to touch base. Another tick,perfect.

I drove us up to a lovely green space we enjoy going to. Patch surveyed the estate and got back in the car without having to be bribed. Tick, perfect.

Bouyed up by a positive vibe I fed us and then went out the front to tidy up a bit. Did an hour or so and now I’m very pleased with myself. Tick perfect.

And it’s not even noon yet.

Recently I was reading about how time passes faster as you age. You’d think it would slow down a bit, wouldn’t you? All thinks considered. I agree time goes by in a flash and tbh it’s a bit freaky when you’re not quite ready for it.

Still not quite noon and the morning so far has allowed me to do quite a lot of stuff. Funny that.
