Monday 7th March

As I said yesterday it has been a while since I was able to do much here apart from read.  The problems with my desk top PC are not resolved and it looks like we will be buying a new one but that probably won't happen until the weekend as I don't have access to a car and Simon will be busy until then.  He doesn't get in from school until 6pm.

It has also been pretty fraught around here with various problems that I have been getting myself stressed out over.  I am a worrier by nature.  If it was an Olympic event I would win gold! I can't help it.  So when there is really something to worry about I go into overdrive and generally work myself up into a bit of a state.  Having said that for the most part I have been keeping my chin up in our typical British fashion and getting on with what I have to do.

I have been looking after the boys and Barclay today whilst Coralie slept after her night shift. Thankfully they weren't too bad today and I didn't come home to mess from Rosie either.  Not to mention that there is something going on up in the sky today and although I can't quite figure it out I do know that it is making me feel so much better.

I just Googled it and apparently it is a big ball of fire known as the sun and today it is casting sunshine and a teensy bit of warmth over my little bit of the UK.   For the first time in ages I didn't need my hat and gloves when I cycled to Coralies this morning.  I did have my big coat on though and a scarf.

I'm just having some coffee and then I think I might see if I can re-pot some of my rose bushes while the weather lasts.  They desperately need doing.  I am going to try and do a catch up on the DPT later.  I am so behind.  The last one I did was the 27th of February!
