Friday 11th April - A Working Day

 I bit the bullet and got on with some drearily dreary paperwork that has to be done. Procrastinating wasn't helping any.

Tree

But before I got stuck in (oh dear, procrastinating again) I did step outside the back door to take an interim picture of the oak tree at the bottom of the garden;

Oh the lively leafyness of it! That whiter trunk going almost vertically upwards to the right of the main trunk is a determined conker tree, and it too has fat ripe buds on it, hoping to reach the sun before it is engulfed by the oak canopy in full leaf.

When a weary task you find it, Persevere and never mind it...

I spent several hours making copies of paperwork to send on to the legal eagle who is leading us through probate and HMRC requirements if that becomes necessary,  and copies for my brother who is co-executor. It's so easy for me to miss a copy, get them in the wrong order, muddle them up... but finally I had three piles; originals, and two sets of copies.

I was so pleased I went straight into the kitchen an cooked lunch! Salmon fillets done in the air fryer (wrap in a foil or baking paper parcel with a bit of butter, a slice of lemon, chopped onion,  salt, pepper, herbs and cook for 15 mins at 180°C), boiled potatoes and grilled Mediterranean vegetable selection stir fried from frozen for 6 or so minutes. 

Whoops! Lunch was ready to serve and it wasn't even 12 o'clock! Delicious at any time of day, in my view.

After a decent interval for dessert (bananas and custard) and coffee, I wrote out the post-its to stick on the various stacks, and annotated the bank statements, and wrote a covering letter. Oh that feels so good! BB took one set off to the post and I'll hand the other over when my brother comes next week.

Music

Well, after all that copying and computering this was the obvious choice.
