Not being lazy

I am not being lazy, honestly. I know I haven't written much on my blog but it's been very busy. I spent a lot of time preparing stuff for a presentation doing the research and what have you and then going and giving it! Had to figure out how to use the new sat nav in order to get there as part of this performance. See, one thing after another. Modern technology just moves on apace, just when I got used to the last one (before it went wrong that is) so now nothing is the same and even that comforting voice telling me to 'turn around at your earliest convenience' is different - this one sounds everso slightly unhinged! No, perhaps it's just me surely the sat nav can't be making comments about my driving can it? Typical everyone's a critic these days.

I've still managed to mow the lawns, do all my usual chores and keep walking and swimming. I'm sticking to my diet but sadly the superfluous flab still appears to be sticking to me too! Oh well at least something likes me and wants to hang around. Actually reading that back the 'hanging around' was perhaps a somewhat unfortunate choice of words! All far too apt.

At least with the spate of showers we've had recently all the greenery is looking more refreshed and energised. It gives the animals something to eat and lays the dust. Mind you it's the devil if you've got washing out on the line drying! I can un-peg socks like a machine gun going off now I've had so much practice and all because I'm trying to be greener to match the environment round these parts! This is going to have to be my lucky colour of the week.

I've even managed to compose some more of my first draft novel and thankfully the creative juices still seem to be flowing. For the time being at least, before I have to start re-decorating the house and so on.
So, I am NOT being lazy, honestly.

  1. Well Helen, it sounds very much as "a normal day in the life of a woman", so many hats to wear - my least favourite being the Domestic Goddess one-, I think that we can all very easily relate to what you write...
