Saturday 11th January - Fresh Air

 Very fresh indeed... we waited to go out until the afternoon when the day had warmed up to... about 4°C.... from below freezing and everywhere white with frost all morning. 

We only went as far as a nearby tearoom where we sat in the sun and looked at the view. All the other people sitting indoors didn't know what they were missing

Coming home BB dropped me off at the top of our road and I ambled happily along the gentle downhill slope in the last of the sun.

I constructed today's 'to-do't  list on the basis of of what would make me happiest to have achieved by bedtime. Accordingly I have changed the water in two vases of flowers, watered the upstairs house plants - actually garden plants that I am attempting to overwinter - and plan to change the pillowcases as we go to bed. Or more likely tomorrow morning. 

I've also completely emptied and filed the third bag of papers from my father’s flat. Piano fell by the wayside but we did go out and I went for a little toddle...

....

I have a new toy

Ridiculous, I know, but I've wanted a date stamp ever since I started visiting the library as a child...

.....

Phrase from the Bible for today has been 'the Lord'. Psalm 23, of course. 

Sunday's phrase will be 'is my shepherd'.
