Wednesday10th May - midweek news

 There isn't any...

I knit, I write up my diary, I add a few bits to the ever-growing pile to go to the charity shop, I cook lunch, I read, I might tackle a housework chore (or I might not)...

Wednesday and Thursday are a piano lesson days, so I taught a piano lesson. 

I played suduko, 

and soon it will be bed time.

I'm happy enough with this... slow steady days are a blessing. 


The New List; BB and I are compiling a list of places to visit, things to do, in the area. His 70th birthday, some years ago, was massively overshadowed by othe family events, and mine is later this year. So we're thinking of slightly celebrating both of them. At the moment we're concentrating on places within an hour or so of where we live;

Pallant House gallery in Chichester

Bignor Roman Villa

Wings Aviation Museum

Tangmere Aviation Museum

a Little Local Library box in Hove just because it is there


I'd love to set up a little free library outside our house! 

That's as far as we got with the list today.

    1. I have seen telephone box libraries. I did wonder if one could be set up in a discontinued box at the far end of our road years and years ago but I had too much else to do at the time so got no further than the thought.

  3. I, for one, enjoy reading about your everyday life. Slow steady days are indeed a blessing.

  4. Your days sound a bit like mine minus the piano lessons. We have a box library quite near us it is used a lot. My Husband worked in aviation for many years and we plan to visit Wings Museum when our son is visiting in August. We haven't been before. It's good to have a plan for possible visits of interest. Happy delayed birthday celebrations to you both. Regards Sue H

    1. We've been to Tangmere many years ago, Wings sounded pretty good in a review I read.

  5. As I've got older, I've come to cherish days when nothing happens.

  6. Funny how things change. From constantly on the go, actively looking for things to do, now any day that's slow and steady is a blessing!

    1. Oh, how I wish... 6 hour's drive is a long stretch without an overnight break. I don't stay in hotels or use public transport - too many people around. I need to make sure I always have enough oxygen cylinders in reserve to get home should I have an equipment fail.

  8. You remind me I have at least 6 books to pop in the Free Little Library box near me. My life has a slow rythm that I'm not complaining about. I had a busy Tuesday and was whoosh out!

  9. I have days when all I do is tidy round, load/ unload the dishwasher and read!

  10. It's fun to make lists of places you'd like to visit!
    I love those little libraries. There are quite a few around here and I've started taking photos of them.
