Hmm... almost a quarter past eleven and I'm still not washed and dressed. Shocking eh? I haven't scrubbed my front door step, either, and it's way past Monday morning. Still, in mitigation I can plead that I have already cleaned (well, tidied... well, tidiedish) the kitchen, helped the Smudgelet with his maths homework, built a church, had coffee with a friend (Honorary Auntie M - one of the few friends to be totally unphased by me sitting drinking coffee in my pyjamas!), tried out the hymns for Sunday and.. er... played a round or two of Wordscraper and Scramble on Facebook?
The hymns for Sunday are me helping a friend in need. I agreed to play the organ at the little out-of-the-way church she's preaching at on Sunday as long as I got to vet the service first (not tremendously helpful to be sat at the front struggling to dry my eyes in time for the next hymn... ) and also make sure they were hymns I could play. She's buying lunch, so it seems fair enough. Must do something about having my eyes tested, though. I was sure the order of service said that the last hymn was "Go forth to hell, the doors are open wide"!
Nice afternoon on the agenda. Well, I've got to go into town to pick the Smudgelet up for his swimming lesson, so why not go in a bit earlier and hit Waterstones? The lovely people gave me a 20% off voucher as a birthday present (this does not mean that the voucher itself is somewhat shorted or that one fifth of the pages of the book will be removed, I hasten to add) and are also tempting me to spend by giving me triple points on my loyalty card. I think they've succeeded. I need, oh yes I need, a book to read on my way to visit my son tomorrow, another to read on our holiday in Scotland, a third one to read while sitting around in court cafeterias, a fourth one... er... come on, help me think of an excuse for a fourth one....
