ffoxvery old docuseries by michael palin - i am putting this here to remind myself to watch it.
quiet day again, chris still ill and i didn't get dressed until about 2pm. did lots of cross stitch, walked dog, made chinese chicken thighs for dinner. tesco shop came and i put it all in a laundry hamper to take to the kitchen - i am a genius. i finished lies of locke lamora (5/5 no notes, absolutely incredible), started red seas under red skies about fifteen minutes later. according to my book tracker i have read 1,513 pages this week, and to be honest most of that was listening whilst stitching away. 582 of those pages were today.
its payday tomorrow and that will be a huge relief. we got through the month. i hate that my bills etc reset on the 26th, but my budgeting spreadsheet resets on the 1st. i'm not sure how to fix that. maybe if i update my trends on monzo to match my spreadsheet it will make more sense?
i took all the old carrots etc out of the crisper drawer - if i can't see it it doesn't get used and it is so wasteful! instead i now have a diet coke drawer. at least those won't go off in a hurry!
i am too tired to write much today. my eyes are burning. earlyish night for me at 11pm.
currently reading: red seas under red skies
todays glimmer: the sun coming out on my walk with moose and casting long january shadows over the playing fields.
