Bag number 2 of my father’s papers has been gone through. My bonus discovery was another packet of unused Christmas cards! Guess what I won't be buying in the sales!
It's quite fun having little surprises among the bank statements and other random papers. All though it all looks complicated, there's very little that needs urgent action.
Just one more bag to go to complete this week's - what shall I call it. I'm not doing goals or challenges or targets or anything like that this year. All I'll say is that I'm hoping to get through all three bags by the end of this week. (I know there's plenty more in his flat!)
I've filled our little slow cooker with what will eventually become chilli con carne. The pot is so full of minced beef, onions, garlic, sweet corn, chopped peppers, tinned tomatoes and stock that there was no room for the tin of kidney beans. They'll have to be added at the reheating stage. The first of many more 'cook once, eat twice' meals to come. At least that's the plan.
And I've started a Christmas jigsaw, picking out the big Christmas tree and Father Christmas to begin with.

I was getting a bit ratty and short-fused this morning, so I stood looking out of the window in the sun, repeating today's phrase from The Lord's Prayer. Actually this phrase has been spread over three days;
'For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory'
It fits easily with calm slow breathing, and helped me re-centre and calm down.
