 Wednesday - Cold, rainy and dark


I finally slept until my alarm this morning. Yay for that! I woke up, got up and then came back to the room. I watched the news and then took a bit of a nap. I woke up quite late for a change. Oh, dear.


I was planning to do laundry but discovered that dear F had done a load of laundry this morning. He hadn’t taken it out obviously as he was at work. I took it up and brought it upstairs and hung it up for him. I is nice! I found 2 pens and two mechanical pencils in the bottom of the washing machine. He also washed his eyedrops. Eye roll. Why doesn’t he just empty his pockets before he puts his clothes in the washing machine?


I had a quiet day. I didn’t see too much of K today. I had breakfast and later lunch. Of course, I put on another episode of Bake-Off while I ate.


I watched the news and today I did a little bit of packing. I found my shoes and put them in the suitcase, along with my makeup and a couple of dresses. Obviously, I have to put some more practical things in my suitcase!  I need to take it to Takyubin on Monday, so I had better hurry up and get it packed.


F called at 5:30 and I went downstairs to start dinner. Tonight I did air-fried chicken, salad, bibinba rice, and mini-tomatoes. We also had potato soup too. Dinner was pretty good and most of it got eaten. I did manage to put aside a little for K’s lunch though.


I did the dishes and listened to more of the podcast from yesterday. I liked it, just don’t know if I’ll listen to it regularly.


When I finished the dishes I did up the garbage to go out tomorrow. It took a bit of time and I did a little cleaning of the drain as well. So much fun.


I went upstairs and relaxed for a bit. I did let F know that I was going upstairs tonight. Around 10:30 I went downstairs again and took a shower. I needed it!


I came back upstairs again and I was cold!  It’s under 20 degrees in our room at the moment. That’s cold, especially after this summer. I added an extra blanket to my bed for tonight.  


I watched the end of the season Grey’s Anatomy and then I turned off the TV. Next week, The Walking Dead is back. Yay?!


F is in bed, he’s tired and not feeling too great. The bad weather isn’t good for his back or knees.


Tomorrow I’m cooking again and I have to do more packing and hopefully, I can get some laundry done. I really need to have some clean clothes with me!


Come back later if you will and hear all about my day. Until tomorrow….

My husband occasionally washes his eyedrops too! It must be a guy thing not to check the pockets of clothes... Hope you enjoy your day 😊

Thanks Kelly!

It's still cold and gloomy here...

I'm the guilty one in my house. I never check my pockets (my husband does it for me if he does laundry!). I'm the last couple of weeks I've washed a pen (and stuck it in the dryer so that was fun to clean up) and some eyeglass cleaner, alcohol wipes, and tissues. But I'm terrible about laundry, which is why my husband does it a lot of the time. (On the other hand, he's probably not scrubbed a toilet in 20 years! )

F had a pen that exploded or something in the washing machine. I had to clean that up as I needed to do my laundry...and I was doing whites next. So much fun. At least the inside of the washer is stainless steel, so it did come off.

We each do our own laundry. I only like to do mine once a week or so, F washes all his stuff at once in one load. No sorting. No emptying of pockets. And he left me another load to hang up this morning. Grr!

Thank you both for commenting today!
