It's amazing how much you can get done when you put your mind to it. No family visits today, and even the dog slept in til 9.30 a.m - a rare treat indeed. We'd almost forgotten what it's like to potter around in our pyjams; Mr Miff playing his pc game and me lingering in bed with a second cup of coffee and a book. (Not a good book maybe in this case, but I'll get on to that later).
So with Ms M still away and little M vegetating until late morning, I was able to sort washing and ironing, do my newspaper cuttings and get a head start on the weekly digest that I inflict on fellow church members. Last week's was on the distinctly gloomy side, for obvious reasons. This time round I'd like to think it a mite more positive. I'm wondering though, whether a plug for the Retreat Association's 'Stop! In the name of God,' weekend, an exhortation from the local paper to shop for Fairtrade goods, and a piece from another national asking whether personal morality and politics mix smack too much of a personal agenda - mine! Do you think sneaking in a mention for 'a Year of Living Generously' and 'Make Poverty History' is pushing things too far? Ah well, it's not often I have such a burst of energy. Must be the New Year. Or more realistically pms.
Actually, the same goes for Mr Miff. Inspired by the sight of our new, squashy red 3- piece suite, he spent the afternoon installing new door handles throughout the house. Since then we've talked over holiday and birthday party arrangements (groan) with little Miff. And, taking the view that if something (the red squashy suite) comes INTO the house, something else must come OUT - I've rashly listed a pile of my books on Amazon marketplace. (Let's hope I don't live to regret this!)
