🧦 Sorted out my underwear drawer and threw out all the threadbare items.

🏖️Bought a new garden parasol, it’s not quite what I wanted but what I mostly want at the moment is extra shade!

🪏 I also now own a hoe with which to battle the weeds.

📆 I started the day thinking it was Thursday so Friday evening has been an unexpected surprise. (I think I thought yesterday was Wednesday. I remember it being Tuesday for definite before that. I’ve no idea what happened to actual Wednesday.)

💾Caching.

🥃White chocolate liqueur, since it’s Friday after all!

⚡️Lots of negatively priced electricity (because it’s windy).

🧺About a squillion loads of laundry done with the aid of that electricity.

⛲️ Azul: Queen’s Garden appeared on BoardGameArena so that’s my new distracting obsession.

💡Disconnected the outside light that’s been stuck on for months and had started buzzing.

📺 Got the TV aerial taken down and removed by a lad we spotted doing a similar job for a neighbour.

🌱 Another wheelie bin worth of weeds removed from the garden. The bushes trying to encroach beyond our fence onto the pavement have almost been tamed.
